the heaven and the earth. 6701 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. 6702 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 6703 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 6704 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. 6705 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 6706 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. 6707 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 6708 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. 6709 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 6710 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. 6711 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. 6712 And the evening and the morning were the third day. 6713 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: 6714 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 6715 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. 6716 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 6717 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. 6718 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. 6719 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. 6720 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. 6721 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 6722 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 6723 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. 6724 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. 6725 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. 6726 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 6727 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. 6728 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. 6729 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. 6730 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. 6731 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 6732 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. 6733 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. 6734 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, 6735 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. 6736 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 6737 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. 6738 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 6739 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. 6740 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 6741 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 6742 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 6743 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. 6744 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. 6745 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 6746 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 6747 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. 6748 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 6749 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. 6750 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. 6751 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; 6752 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 6753 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. 6754 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 6755 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. 6756 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? 6757 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 6758 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. 6759 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 6760 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. 6761 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. 6762 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. 6763 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. 6764 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 6765 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 6766 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? 6767 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 6768 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. 6769 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: 6770 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. 6771 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. 6772 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; 6773 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 6774 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. 6775 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. 6776 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. 6777 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: 6778 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 6779 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. 6780 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. 6781 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 6782 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. 6783 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: 6784 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 6785 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 6786 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. 6787 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. 6788 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? 6789 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. 6790 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; 6791 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. 6792 And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. 6793 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. 6794 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. 6795 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. 6796 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. 6797 And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. 6798 And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 6799 And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. 6800 And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ. 6801 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah. 6802 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. 6803 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold. 6804 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. 6805 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. 6806 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; 6807 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. 6808 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth: 6809 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: 6810 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. 6811 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos: 6812 And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters: 6813 And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died. 6814 And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan: 6815 And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters: 6816 And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died. 6817 And Cainan lived seventy years and begat Mahalaleel: 6818 And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters: 6819 And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died. 6820 And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared: 6821 And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters: 6822 And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died. 6823 And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch: 6824 And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 6825 And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died. 6826 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: 6827 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 6828 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: 6829 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. 6830 And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech. 6831 And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters: 6832 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died. 6833 And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son: 6834 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. 6835 And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters: 6836 And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died. 6837 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 6838 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 6839 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 6840 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. 6841 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. 6842 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. 6843 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 6844 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. 6845 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. 6846 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. 6847 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 6848 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 6849 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 6850 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. 6851 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. 6852 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. 6853 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. 6854 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. 6855 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. 6856 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. 6857 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. 6858 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. 6859 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he. 6860 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. 6861 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. 6862 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 6863 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. 6864 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. 6865 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 6866 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. 6867 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, 6868 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. 6869 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. 6870 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. 6871 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 6872 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; 6873 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. 6874 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. 6875 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in. 6876 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. 6877 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 6878 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 6879 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. 6880 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: 6881 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. 6882 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. 6883 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days. 6884 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; 6885 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; 6886 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated. 6887 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. 6888 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. 6889 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: 6890 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 6891 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; 6892 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. 6893 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; 6894 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. 6895 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more. 6896 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. 6897 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. 6898 And God spake unto Noah, saying, 6899 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. 6900 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. 6901 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him: 6902 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark. 6903 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. 6904 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. 6905 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. 6906 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 6907 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. 6908 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. 6909 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. 6910 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. 6911 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. 6912 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. 6913 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, 6914 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; 6915 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. 6916 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. 6917 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: 6918 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 6919 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 6920 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. 6921 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. 6922 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. 6923 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan. 6924 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. 6925 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: 6926 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. 6927 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. 6928 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. 6929 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. 6930 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 6931 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 6932 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 6933 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 6934 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died. 6935 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. 6936 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 6937 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 6938 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 6939 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. 6940 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. 6941 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. 6942 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. 6943 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. 6944 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 6945 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, 6946 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. 6947 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 6948 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim. 6949 And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth, 6950 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, 6951 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, 6952 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. 6953 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. 6954 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations. 6955 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born. 6956 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. 6957 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 6958 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. 6959 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. 6960 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, 6961 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, 6962 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 6963 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan. 6964 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east. 6965 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations. 6966 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. 6967 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 6968 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. 6969 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. 6970 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. 6971 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6972 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. 6973 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 6974 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 6975 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. 6976 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood: 6977 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. 6978 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah: 6979 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. 6980 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber: 6981 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. 6982 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg: 6983 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters. 6984 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu: 6985 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters. 6986 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug: 6987 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters. 6988 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor: 6989 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. 6990 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah: 6991 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters. 6992 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran. 6993 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot. 6994 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees. 6995 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. 6996 But Sarai was barren; she had no child. 6997 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. 6998 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran. 6999 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: 7000 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: 7001 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. 7002 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. 7003 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. 7004 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. 7005 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. 7006 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. 7007 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south. 7008 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. 7009 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: 7010 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. 7011 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. 7012 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. 7013 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. 7014 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. 7015 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife. 7016 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? 7017 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. 7018 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had. 7019 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south. 7020 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. 7021 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; 7022 Unto the place of the altar, which he had make there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD. 7023 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. 7024 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. 7025 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. 7026 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. 7027 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. 7028 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. 7029 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other. 7030 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. 7031 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly. 7032 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: 7033 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. 7034 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. 7035 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee. 7036 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. 7037 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; 7038 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. 7039 All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea. 7040 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled. 7041 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 Emins in Shaveh Kiriathaim, 7042 And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness. 7043 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. 7044 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; 7045 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. 7046 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. 7047 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way. 7048 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed. 7049 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. 7050 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. 7051 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. 7052 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people. 7053 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. 7054 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. 7055 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: 7056 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. 7057 And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself. 7058 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, 7059 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: 7060 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. 7061 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. 7062 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? 7063 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. 7064 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. 7065 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. 7066 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. 7067 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. 7068 And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it? 7069 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. 7070 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. 7071 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away. 7072 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. 7073 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not their's, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; 7074 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. 7075 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. 7076 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. 7077 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. 7078 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: 7079 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, 7080 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, 7081 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites. 7082 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. 7083 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. 7084 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. 7085 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes. 7086 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. 7087 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thine hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face. 7088 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. 7089 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. 7090 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands. 7091 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. 7092 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. 7093 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. 7094 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? 7095 Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered. 7096 And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael. 7097 And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram. 7098 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. 7099 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. 7100 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, 7101 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. 7102 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. 7103 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. 7104 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. 7105 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. 7106 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. 7107 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. 7108 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. 7109 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. 7110 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. 7111 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. 7112 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. 7113 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. 7114 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? 7115 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! 7116 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. 7117 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. 7118 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year. 7119 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham. 7120 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. 7121 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 7122 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 7123 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son. 7124 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him. 7125 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; 7126 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, 7127 And said, My LORD, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: 7128 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: 7129 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. 7130 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. 7131 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. 7132 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. 7133 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. 7134 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. 7135 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. 7136 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? 7137 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? 7138 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. 7139 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh. 7140 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. 7141 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 7142 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 7143 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. 7144 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; 7145 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. 7146 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. 7147 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 7148 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? 7149 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? 7150 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. 7151 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes: 7152 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. 7153 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. 7154 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. 7155 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. 7156 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. 7157 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place. 7158 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; 7159 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. 7160 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. 7161 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: 7162 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. 7163 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, 7164 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. 7165 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. 7166 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. 7167 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. 7168 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. 7169 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: 7170 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. 7171 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. 7172 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. 7173 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. 7174 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. 7175 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my LORD: 7176 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: 7177 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. 7178 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. 7179 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. 7180 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. 7181 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; 7182 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. 7183 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. 7184 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD: 7185 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. 7186 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. 7187 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. 7188 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: 7189 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. 7190 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. 7191 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. 7192 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. 7193 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. 7194 And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day. 7195 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. 7196 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. 7197 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. 7198 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. 7199 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? 7200 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. 7201 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. 7202 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. 7203 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. 7204 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. 7205 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing? 7206 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. 7207 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. 7208 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. 7209 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. 7210 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee. 7211 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. 7212 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children. 7213 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife. 7214 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken. 7215 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. 7216 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. 7217 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him. 7218 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him. 7219 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me. 7220 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. 7221 And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned. 7222 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking. 7223 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. 7224 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son. 7225 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. 7226 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed. 7227 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. 7228 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. 7229 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. 7230 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. 7231 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation. 7232 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. 7233 And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. 7234 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt. 7235 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: 7236 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. 7237 And Abraham said, I will swear. 7238 And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away. 7239 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. 7240 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant. 7241 And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. 7242 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves? 7243 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. 7244 Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them. 7245 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. 7246 And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God. 7247 And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days. 7248 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. 7249 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. 7250 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. 7251 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. 7252 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. 7253 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. 7254 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? 7255 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. 7256 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. 7257 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. 7258 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. 7259 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. 7260 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. 7261 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. 7262 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, 7263 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: 7264 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; 7265 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. 7266 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba. 7267 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; 7268 Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram, 7269 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel. 7270 And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother. 7271 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah. 7272 And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah. 7273 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. 7274 And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying, 7275 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. 7276 And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him, 7277 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. 7278 And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth. 7279 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, 7280 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. 7281 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, 7282 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. 7283 And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land. 7284 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. 7285 And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him, 7286 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. 7287 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. 7288 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 7289 Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city. 7290 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. 7291 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. 7292 And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things. 7293 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: 7294 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: 7295 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac. 7296 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? 7297 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again. 7298 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. 7299 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. 7300 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter. 7301 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. 7302 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. 7303 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. 7304 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water: 7305 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. 7306 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. 7307 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. 7308 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher. 7309 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink. 7310 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking. 7311 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. 7312 And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not. 7313 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; 7314 And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in? 7315 And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor. 7316 She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in. 7317 And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD. 7318 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. 7319 And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things. 7320 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well. 7321 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. 7322 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. 7323 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. 7324 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. 7325 And he said, I am Abraham's servant. 7326 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. 7327 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. 7328 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: 7329 But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son. 7330 And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me. 7331 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: 7332 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. 7333 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: 7334 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; 7335 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. 7336 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. 7337 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. 7338 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. 7339 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. 7340 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. 7341 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good. 7342 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken. 7343 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth. 7344 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. 7345 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. 7346 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. 7347 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. 7348 And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth. 7349 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go. 7350 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men. 7351 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. 7352 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. 7353 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country. 7354 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. 7355 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel. 7356 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. 7357 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done. 7358 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. 7359 Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. 7360 And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. 7361 And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. 7362 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. 7363 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. 7364 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. 7365 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years. 7366 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. 7367 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; 7368 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife. 7369 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi. 7370 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham: 7371 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, 7372 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, 7373 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah: 7374 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations. 7375 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. 7376 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. 7377 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac: 7378 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. 7379 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 7380 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. 7381 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. 7382 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. 7383 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. 7384 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. 7385 And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. 7386 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob. 7387 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint: 7388 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. 7389 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. 7390 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? 7391 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. 7392 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. 7393 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. 7394 And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: 7395 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; 7396 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; 7397 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. 7398 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar: 7399 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. 7400 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. 7401 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. 7402 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. 7403 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death. 7404 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. 7405 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: 7406 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. 7407 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. 7408 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we. 7409 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. 7410 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. 7411 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water. 7412 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. 7413 And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah. 7414 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. 7415 And he went up from thence to Beersheba. 7416 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. 7417 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. 7418 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army. 7419 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you? 7420 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; 7421 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. 7422 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink. 7423 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. 7424 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. 7425 And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day. 7426 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: 7427 Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah. 7428 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. 7429 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death: 7430 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison; 7431 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. 7432 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it. 7433 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying, 7434 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death. 7435 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee. 7436 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: 7437 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death. 7438 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man: 7439 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. 7440 And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them. 7441 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved. 7442 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: 7443 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck: 7444 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob. 7445 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son? 7446 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. 7447 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. 7448 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. 7449 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. 7450 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him. 7451 And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am. 7452 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. 7453 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son. 7454 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: 7455 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine: 7456 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. 7457 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. 7458 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. 7459 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau. 7460 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. 7461 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. 7462 And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing. 7463 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? 7464 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? 7465 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. 7466 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; 7467 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. 7468 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. 7469 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. 7470 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran; 7471 And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away; 7472 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? 7473 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? 7474 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. 7475 Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughers of Laban thy mother's brother. 7476 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people; 7477 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. 7478 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. 7479 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 daughers of Canaan; 7480 And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram; 7481 And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father; 7482 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. 7483 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran. 7484 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. 7485 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. 7486 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; 7487 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. 7488 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. 7489 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not. 7490 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. 7491 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. 7492 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first. 7493 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, 7494 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God: 7495 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. 7496 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east. 7497 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. 7498 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. 7499 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we. 7500 And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him. 7501 And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep. 7502 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. 7503 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. 7504 And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she kept them. 7505 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. 7506 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept. 7507 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. 7508 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. 7509 And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month. 7510 And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be? 7511 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 7512 Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured. 7513 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter. 7514 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me. 7515 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her. 7516 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. 7517 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. 7518 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. 7519 And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid. 7520 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? 7521 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn. 7522 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years. 7523 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also. 7524 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid. 7525 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years. 7526 And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren. 7527 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. 7528 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon. 7529 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. 7530 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. 7531 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. 7532 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? 7533 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. 7534 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her. 7535 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son. 7536 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. 7537 And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son. 7538 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali. 7539 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife. 7540 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son. 7541 And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad. 7542 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son. 7543 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher. 7544 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. 7545 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. 7546 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. 7547 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son. 7548 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar. 7549 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son. 7550 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. 7551 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah. 7552 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb. 7553 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach: 7554 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son. 7555 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. 7556 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. 7557 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. 7558 And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it. 7559 And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me. 7560 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? 7561 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. 7562 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. 7563 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. 7564 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word. 7565 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. 7566 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks. 7567 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods. 7568 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. 7569 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted. 7570 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. 7571 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. 7572 But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's. 7573 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses. 7574 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. 7575 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before. 7576 And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee. 7577 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock, 7578 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. 7579 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father. 7580 And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me. 7581 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. 7582 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me. 7583 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. 7584 And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I. 7585 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. 7586 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. 7587 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house? 7588 Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money. 7589 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. 7590 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels; 7591 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. 7592 And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's. 7593 And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled. 7594 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. 7595 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled. 7596 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead. 7597 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. 7598 Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead. 7599 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? 7600 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? 7601 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing. 7602 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. 7603 And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods? 7604 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me. 7605 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. 7606 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. 7607 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. 7608 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. 7609 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? 7610 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. 7611 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. 7612 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. 7613 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes. 7614 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. 7615 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. 7616 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? 7617 Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee. 7618 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar. 7619 And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap. 7620 And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed. 7621 And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed; 7622 And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another. 7623 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. 7624 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee: 7625 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. 7626 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. 7627 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. 7628 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. 7629 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. 7630 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim. 7631 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom. 7632 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: 7633 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. 7634 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. 7635 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; 7636 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape. 7637 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: 7638 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. 7639 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. 7640 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. 7641 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother; 7642 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams, 7643 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals. 7644 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. 7645 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? 7646 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. 7647 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. 7648 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. 7649 So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company. 7650 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. 7651 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had. 7652 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 7653 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. 7654 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 7655 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. 7656 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. 7657 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. 7658 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. 7659 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh. 7660 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. 7661 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. 7662 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost. 7663 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother. 7664 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept. 7665 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. 7666 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves. 7667 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves. 7668 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. 7669 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself. 7670 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. 7671 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. 7672 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee. 7673 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. 7674 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. 7675 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. 7676 So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir. 7677 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. 7678 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. 7679 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. 7680 And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael. 7681 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. 7682 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. 7683 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel. 7684 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife. 7685 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. 7686 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him. 7687 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. 7688 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife. 7689 And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you. 7690 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein. 7691 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. 7692 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. 7693 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister: 7694 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: 7695 But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised; 7696 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. 7697 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone. 7698 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son. 7699 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. 7700 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying, 7701 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. 7702 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. 7703 Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of their's be our's? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us. 7704 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. 7705 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. 7706 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. 7707 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister. 7708 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field, 7709 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house. 7710 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. 7711 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot? 7712 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. 7713 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: 7714 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. 7715 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. 7716 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. 7717 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him. 7718 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. 7719 But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth. 7720 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him. 7721 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. 7722 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; 7723 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. 7724 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him. 7725 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. 7726 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel. 7727 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour. 7728 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. 7729 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. 7730 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem. 7731 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day. 7732 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar. 7733 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: 7734 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun: 7735 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin: 7736 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali: 7737 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram. 7738 And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned. 7739 And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years. 7740 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. 7741 Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom. 7742 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; 7743 And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth. 7744 And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel; 7745 And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan. 7746 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. 7747 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. 7748 Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom. 7749 And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir: 7750 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. 7751 And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz. 7752 And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau's wife. 7753 And these are the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife. 7754 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. 7755 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, 7756 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. 7757 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. 7758 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. 7759 These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes. 7760 These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah, 7761 And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom. 7762 And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan's sister was Timna. 7763 And the children of Shobal were these; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam. 7764 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. 7765 And the children of Anah were these; Dishon, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah. 7766 And these are the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran. 7767 The children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan. 7768 The children of Dishan are these; Uz, and Aran. 7769 These are the dukes that came of the Horites; duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah, 7770 Duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these are the dukes that came of Hori, among their dukes in the land of Seir. 7771 And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel. 7772 And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his city was Dinhabah. 7773 And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead. 7774 And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead. 7775 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. 7776 And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead. 7777 And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead. 7778 And Saul died, and Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead. 7779 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. 7780 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, 7781 Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon, 7782 Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar, 7783 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. 7784 And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan. 7785 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. 7786 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. 7787 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. 7788 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. 7789 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: 7790 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. 7791 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. 7792 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. 7793 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? 7794 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying. 7795 And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem. 7796 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. 7797 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. 7798 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? 7799 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks. 7800 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. 7801 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. 7802 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh. 7803 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. 7804 And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him. 7805 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. 7806 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; 7807 And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it. 7808 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. 7809 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? 7810 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. 7811 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. 7812 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes. 7813 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go? 7814 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood; 7815 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. 7816 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. 7817 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days. 7818 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. 7819 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard. 7820 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. 7821 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her. 7822 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er. 7823 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan. 7824 And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him. 7825 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar. 7826 And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him. 7827 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. 7828 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. 7829 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also. 7830 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. 7831 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. 7832 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep. 7833 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. 7834 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face. 7835 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? 7836 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? 7837 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. 7838 And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood. 7839 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. 7840 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. 7841 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. 7842 And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her. 7843 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. 7844 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. 7845 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. 7846 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb. 7847 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. 7848 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. 7849 And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah. 7850 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. 7851 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 7852 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand. 7853 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. 7854 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. 7855 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. 7856 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. 7857 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; 7858 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? 7859 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. 7860 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. 7861 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. 7862 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, 7863 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: 7864 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. 7865 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home. 7866 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: 7867 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out. 7868 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. 7869 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. 7870 But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison. 7871 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. 7872 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. 7873 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. 7874 And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers. 7875 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound. 7876 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward. 7877 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. 7878 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad. 7879 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? 7880 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. 7881 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me; 7882 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: 7883 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. 7884 And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days: 7885 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. 7886 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: 7887 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. 7888 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: 7889 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. 7890 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days: 7891 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. 7892 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. 7893 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand: 7894 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them. 7895 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him. 7896 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river. 7897 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow. 7898 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. 7899 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke. 7900 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good. 7901 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them. 7902 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream. 7903 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. 7904 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day: 7905 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: 7906 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream. 7907 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. 7908 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged. 7909 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. 7910 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. 7911 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace. 7912 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river: 7913 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow: 7914 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: 7915 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine: 7916 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. 7917 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good: 7918 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them: 7919 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. 7920 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do. 7921 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one. 7922 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. 7923 This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh. 7924 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: 7925 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; 7926 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous. 7927 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. 7928 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. 7929 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. 7930 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. 7931 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. 7932 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. 7933 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is? 7934 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art: 7935 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. 7936 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. 7937 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; 7938 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. 7939 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. 7940 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. 7941 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. 7942 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls. 7943 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. 7944 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number. 7945 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. 7946 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. 7947 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction. 7948 And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended. 7949 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. 7950 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. 7951 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. 7952 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands. 7953 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another? 7954 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. 7955 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt. 7956 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him. 7957 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan. 7958 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. 7959 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. 7960 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him. 7961 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. 7962 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come. 7963 We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies. 7964 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come. 7965 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. 7966 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies: 7967 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither. 7968 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. 7969 And he put them all together into ward three days. 7970 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God: 7971 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: 7972 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so. 7973 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. 7974 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. 7975 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter. 7976 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. 7977 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. 7978 And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence. 7979 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. 7980 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? 7981 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying, 7982 The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country. 7983 And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies: 7984 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. 7985 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: 7986 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. 7987 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. 7988 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. 7989 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. 7990 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. 7991 And the famine was sore in the land. 7992 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. 7993 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. 7994 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food: 7995 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. 7996 And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother? 7997 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? 7998 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. 7999 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: 8000 For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time. 8001 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: 8002 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: 8003 Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man: 8004 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. 8005 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. 8006 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. 8007 And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house. 8008 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. 8009 And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house, 8010 And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food: 8011 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. 8012 And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks. 8013 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. 8014 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. 8015 And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there. 8016 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. 8017 And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive? 8018 And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance. 8019 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. 8020 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. 8021 And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread. 8022 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. 8023 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. 8024 And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of their's. And they drank, and were merry with him. 8025 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. 8026 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. 8027 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses. 8028 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? 8029 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing. 8030 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words. 8031 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing: 8032 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? 8033 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen. 8034 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. 8035 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack. 8036 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack. 8037 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city. 8038 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground. 8039 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? 8040 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. 8041 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. 8042 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. 8043 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother? 8044 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. 8045 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him. 8046 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die. 8047 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more. 8048 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord. 8049 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food. 8050 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. 8051 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons: 8052 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since: 8053 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. 8054 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; 8055 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. 8056 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. 8057 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. 8058 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. 8059 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. 8060 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard. 8061 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. 8062 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. 8063 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. 8064 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. 8065 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 8066 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. 8067 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: 8068 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: 8069 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. 8070 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you. 8071 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. 8072 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck. 8073 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him. 8074 And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants. 8075 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan; 8076 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. 8077 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. 8078 Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is your's. 8079 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. 8080 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. 8081 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. 8082 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way. 8083 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father, 8084 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. 8085 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: 8086 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die. 8087 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac. 8088 And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I. 8089 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: 8090 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. 8091 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. 8092 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: 8093 His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt. 8094 And these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn. 8095 And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi. 8096 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman. 8097 And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 8098 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. 8099 And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron. 8100 And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel. 8101 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. 8102 And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli. 8103 And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel. 8104 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls. 8105 The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin. 8106 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. 8107 And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard. 8108 These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen. 8109 And the sons of Dan; Hushim. 8110 And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem. 8111 These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven. 8112 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; 8113 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. 8114 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen. 8115 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. 8116 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive. 8117 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; 8118 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. 8119 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation? 8120 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. 8121 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. 8122 And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh. 8123 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. 8124 They said morever 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. 8125 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee: 8126 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. 8127 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh. 8128 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou? 8129 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. 8130 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh. 8131 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. 8132 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families. 8133 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. 8134 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. 8135 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. 8136 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail. 8137 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. 8138 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: 8139 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. 8140 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. 8141 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof. 8142 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. 8143 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. 8144 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. 8145 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. 8146 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. 8147 And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly. 8148 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years. 8149 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: 8150 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. 8151 And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head. 8152 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. 8153 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed. 8154 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, 8155 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. 8156 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. 8157 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance. 8158 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. 8159 And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these? 8160 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. 8161 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. 8162 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed. 8163 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth. 8164 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. 8165 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. 8166 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, 8167 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. 8168 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. 8169 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head. 8170 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. 8171 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. 8172 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers. 8173 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. 8174 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. 8175 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father. 8176 Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power: 8177 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. 8178 Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations. 8179 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. 8180 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. 8181 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. 8182 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? 8183 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. 8184 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: 8185 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk. 8186 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. 8187 Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens: 8188 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. 8189 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. 8190 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. 8191 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD. 8192 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last. 8193 Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties. 8194 Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words. 8195 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall: 8196 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him: 8197 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:) 8198 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: 8199 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. 8200 Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil. 8201 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. 8202 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, 8203 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. 8204 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah. 8205 The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth. 8206 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. 8207 And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him. 8208 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel. 8209 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. 8210 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, 8211 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. 8212 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear. 8213 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, 8214 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. 8215 And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company. 8216 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. 8217 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. 8218 And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them: 8219 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. 8220 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. 8221 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. 8222 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying, 8223 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. 8224 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants. 8225 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? 8226 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. 8227 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them. 8228 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years. 8229 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. 8230 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. 8231 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. 8232 So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt. 8233 Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob. 8234 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, 8235 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, 8236 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. 8237 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already. 8238 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation. 8239 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them. 8240 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph. 8241 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: 8242 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. 8243 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses. 8244 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel. 8245 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour: 8246 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. 8247 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: 8248 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. 8249 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive. 8250 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? 8251 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. 8252 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. 8253 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses. 8254 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. 8255 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. 8256 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. 8257 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. 8258 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him. 8259 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. 8260 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. 8261 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? 8262 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother. 8263 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 women took the child, and nursed it. 8264 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. 8265 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. 8266 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. 8267 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? 8268 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. 8269 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. 8270 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. 8271 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. 8272 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day? 8273 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. 8274 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. 8275 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. 8276 And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land. 8277 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. 8278 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. 8279 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them. 8280 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. 8281 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. 8282 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 8283 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. 8284 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. 8285 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. 8286 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; 8287 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. 8288 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. 8289 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. 8290 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? 8291 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. 8292 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? 8293 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. 8294 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. 8295 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: 8296 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. 8297 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. 8298 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand. 8299 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. 8300 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. 8301 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. 8302 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. 8303 And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod. 8304 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. 8305 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: 8306 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. 8307 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. 8308 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. 8309 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. 8310 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. 8311 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. 8312 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? 8313 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say. 8314 And he said, O my LORD, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send. 8315 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. 8316 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. 8317 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. 8318 And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs. 8319 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. 8320 And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life. 8321 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. 8322 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. 8323 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: 8324 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. 8325 And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him. 8326 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. 8327 So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision. 8328 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. 8329 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him. 8330 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel: 8331 And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people. 8332 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. 8333 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. 8334 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. 8335 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. 8336 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. 8337 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens. 8338 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying, 8339 Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves. 8340 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. 8341 Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words. 8342 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. 8343 Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished. 8344 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw. 8345 And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw. 8346 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? 8347 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants? 8348 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. 8349 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD. 8350 Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks. 8351 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. 8352 And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh: 8353 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. 8354 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? 8355 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. 8356 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. 8357 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD: 8358 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. 8359 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. 8360 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant. 8361 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: 8362 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. 8363 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. 8364 And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage. 8365 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 8366 Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land. 8367 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? 8368 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. 8369 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. 8370 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. 8371 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. 8372 The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their families. 8373 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. 8374 And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these are the families of Levi according to their generations. 8375 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. 8376 And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri. 8377 And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri. 8378 And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 8379 And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korhites. 8380 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. 8381 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. 8382 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. 8383 And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt, 8384 That the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee. 8385 And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me? 8386 And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. 8387 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. 8388 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt. 8389 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. 8390 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. 8391 And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they. 8392 And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh. 8393 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 8394 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. 8395 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. 8396 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. 8397 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods. 8398 And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said. 8399 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go. 8400 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. 8401 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. 8402 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. 8403 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. 8404 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. 8405 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. 8406 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. 8407 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. 8408 And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also. 8409 And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river. 8410 And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river. 8411 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. 8412 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs: 8413 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: 8414 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants. 8415 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. 8416 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. 8417 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt. 8418 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. 8419 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? 8420 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. 8421 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. 8422 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh. 8423 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. 8424 And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank. 8425 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said. 8426 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. 8427 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. 8428 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. 8429 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. 8430 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. 8431 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. 8432 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. 8433 And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be. 8434 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. 8435 And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land. 8436 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? 8437 We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us. 8438 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. 8439 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. 8440 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD. 8441 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. 8442 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go. 8443 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. 8444 For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still, 8445 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. 8446 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. 8447 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land. 8448 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. 8449 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. 8450 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. 8451 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. 8452 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. 8453 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians. 8454 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses. 8455 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. 8456 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. 8457 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. 8458 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. 8459 As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go? 8460 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. 8461 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. 8462 He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses: 8463 And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field. 8464 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. 8465 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. 8466 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. 8467 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. 8468 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail. 8469 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. 8470 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. 8471 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. 8472 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God. 8473 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled. 8474 But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown up. 8475 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. 8476 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. 8477 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses. 8478 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: 8479 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. 8480 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. 8481 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast: 8482 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: 8483 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. 8484 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? 8485 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? 8486 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. 8487 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. 8488 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. 8489 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. 8490 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. 8491 And the locust 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. 8492 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. 8493 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you. 8494 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. 8495 And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD. 8496 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. 8497 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go. 8498 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. 8499 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days: 8500 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. 8501 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. 8502 And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God. 8503 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. 8504 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go. 8505 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. 8506 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more. 8507 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. 8508 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. 8509 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. 8510 And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt: 8511 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. 8512 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. 8513 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. 8514 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. 8515 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt. 8516 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. 8517 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying, 8518 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. 8519 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: 8520 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. 8521 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: 8522 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. 8523 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. 8524 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 8525 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. 8526 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. 8527 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. 8528 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. 8529 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. 8530 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. 8531 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. 8532 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. 8533 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. 8534 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. 8535 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. 8536 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread. 8537 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. 8538 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. 8539 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. 8540 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. 8541 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. 8542 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service? 8543 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. 8544 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 8545 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. 8546 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. 8547 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. 8548 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also. 8549 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. 8550 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. 8551 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: 8552 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. 8553 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children. 8554 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle. 8555 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. 8556 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. 8557 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. 8558 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. 8559 And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof: 8560 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. 8561 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof. 8562 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. 8563 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. 8564 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. 8565 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you. 8566 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 8567 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. 8568 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 8569 Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine. 8570 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. 8571 This day came ye out in the month Abib. 8572 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. 8573 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD. 8574 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. 8575 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. 8576 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. 8577 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year. 8578 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, 8579 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. 8580 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. 8581 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: 8582 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. 8583 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. 8584 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: 8585 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. 8586 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. 8587 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness. 8588 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: 8589 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people. 8590 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 8591 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. 8592 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in. 8593 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. 8594 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? 8595 And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him: 8596 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them. 8597 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. 8598 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. 8599 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. 8600 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? 8601 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. 8602 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. 8603 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. 8604 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: 8605 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. 8606 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. 8607 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. 8608 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: 8609 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. 8610 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. 8611 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. 8612 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. 8613 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, 8614 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. 8615 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. 8616 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. 8617 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. 8618 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. 8619 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore. 8620 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. 8621 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. 8622 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. 8623 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name. 8624 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea. 8625 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone. 8626 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. 8627 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. 8628 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. 8629 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. 8630 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters. 8631 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? 8632 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them. 8633 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation. 8634 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina. 8635 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. 8636 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. 8637 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. 8638 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever. 8639 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. 8640 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. 8641 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. 8642 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. 8643 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. 8644 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? 8645 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, 8646 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. 8647 And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters. 8648 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. 8649 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: 8650 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. 8651 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. 8652 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. 8653 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: 8654 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? 8655 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. 8656 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. 8657 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. 8658 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 8659 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. 8660 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. 8661 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. 8662 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. 8663 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. 8664 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less. 8665 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. 8666 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning. 8667 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. 8668 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted. 8669 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. 8670 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. 8671 And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein. 8672 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. 8673 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none. 8674 And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none. 8675 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws? 8676 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. 8677 So the people rested on the seventh day. 8678 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. 8679 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. 8680 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. 8681 As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept. 8682 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. 8683 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah. 8684 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. 8685 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? 8686 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? 8687 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me. 8688 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. 8689 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. 8690 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? 8691 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. 8692 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. 8693 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. 8694 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 8695 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. 8696 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. 8697 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. 8698 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi: 8699 For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation. 8700 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; 8701 Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back, 8702 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: 8703 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: 8704 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: 8705 And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her. 8706 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. 8707 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. 8708 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. 8709 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. 8710 Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them. 8711 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. 8712 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. 8713 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? 8714 And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God: 8715 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. 8716 And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good. 8717 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. 8718 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: 8719 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. 8720 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: 8721 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. 8722 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. 8723 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said. 8724 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. 8725 And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves. 8726 And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land. 8727 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. 8728 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. 8729 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; 8730 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. 8731 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: 8732 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. 8733 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him. 8734 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. 8735 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. 8736 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, 8737 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. 8738 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: 8739 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. 8740 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes. 8741 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives. 8742 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. 8743 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. 8744 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. 8745 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. 8746 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. 8747 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. 8748 And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them. 8749 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. 8750 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. 8751 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them. 8752 And God spake all these words, saying, 8753 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 8754 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 8755 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. 8756 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; 8757 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 8758 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. 8759 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 8760 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 8761 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: 8762 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. 8763 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 8764 Thou shalt not kill. 8765 Thou shalt not commit adultery. 8766 Thou shalt not steal. 8767 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 8768 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. 8769 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. 8770 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. 8771 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. 8772 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. 8773 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. 8774 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold. 8775 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. 8776 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. 8777 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon. 8778 Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them. 8779 If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. 8780 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him. 8781 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. 8782 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: 8783 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. 8784 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do. 8785 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. 8786 And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters. 8787 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish. 8788 And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money. 8789 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death. 8790 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. 8791 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. 8792 And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death. 8793 And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death. 8794 And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death. 8795 And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed: 8796 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. 8797 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. 8798 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money. 8799 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. 8800 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, 8801 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 8802 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. 8803 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. 8804 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. 8805 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. 8806 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. 8807 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. 8808 Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him. 8809 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. 8810 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; 8811 The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his. 8812 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. 8813 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. 8814 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. 8815 If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him. 8816 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. 8817 If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double. 8818 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. 8819 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. 8820 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. 8821 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. 8822 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. 8823 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: 8824 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. 8825 And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof. 8826 If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn. 8827 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. 8828 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. 8829 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife. 8830 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins. 8831 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. 8832 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death. 8833 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed. 8834 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. 8835 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. 8836 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; 8837 And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless. 8838 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. 8839 If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down: 8840 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. 8841 Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people. 8842 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. 8843 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. 8844 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. 8845 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. 8846 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment: 8847 Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause. 8848 If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again. 8849 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. 8850 Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause. 8851 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked. 8852 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous. 8853 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. 8854 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof: 8855 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. 8856 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. 8857 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. 8858 Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. 8859 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:) 8860 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. 8861 Three items in the year all thy males shall appear before the LORD God. 8862 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning. 8863 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. 8864 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 8865 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. 8866 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. 8867 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. 8868 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. 8869 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. 8870 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil. 8871 I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee. 8872 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee. 8873 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. 8874 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land. 8875 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. 8876 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. 8877 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. 8878 And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off. 8879 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him. 8880 And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do. 8881 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 8882 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD. 8883 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 8884 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient. 8885 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. 8886 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: 8887 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. 8888 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink. 8889 And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them. 8890 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God. 8891 And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them. 8892 And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount. 8893 And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. 8894 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. 8895 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. 8896 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 8897 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering. 8898 And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass, 8899 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, 8900 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood, 8901 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense, 8902 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate. 8903 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. 8904 According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it. 8905 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. 8906 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about. 8907 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it. 8908 And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. 8909 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them. 8910 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it. 8911 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee. 8912 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. 8913 And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat. 8914 And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof. 8915 And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be. 8916 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. 8917 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel. 8918 Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. 8919 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about. 8920 And thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about. 8921 And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof. 8922 Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table. 8923 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them. 8924 And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold shalt thou make them. 8925 And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway. 8926 And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same. 8927 And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side: 8928 Three bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick. 8929 And in the candlesticks shall be four bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops and their flowers. 8930 And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick. 8931 Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold. 8932 And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it. 8933 And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold. 8934 Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels. 8935 And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount. 8936 Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them. 8937 The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and every one of the curtains shall have one measure. 8938 The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and other five curtains shall be coupled one to another. 8939 And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make in the uttermost edge of another curtain, in the coupling of the second. 8940 Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is in the coupling of the second; that the loops may take hold one of another. 8941 And thou shalt make fifty taches of gold, and couple the curtains together with the taches: and it shall be one tabernacle. 8942 And thou shalt make curtains of goats' hair to be a covering upon the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make. 8943 The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and the eleven curtains shall be all of one measure. 8944 And thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tabernacle. 8945 And thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops in the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second. 8946 And thou shalt make fifty taches of brass, and put the taches into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one. 8947 And the remnant that remaineth of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the backside of the tabernacle. 8948 And a cubit on the one side, and a cubit on the other side of that which remaineth in the length of the curtains of the tent, it shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it. 8949 And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering above of badgers' skins. 8950 And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood standing up. 8951 Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half shall be the breadth of one board. 8952 Two tenons shall there be in one board, set in order one against another: thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle. 8953 And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the south side southward. 8954 And thou shalt make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons. 8955 And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards: 8956 And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. 8957 And for the sides of the tabernacle westward thou shalt make six boards. 8958 And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides. 8959 And they shall be coupled together beneath, and they shall be coupled together above the head of it unto one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners. 8960 And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. 8961 And thou shalt make bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle, 8962 And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the two sides westward. 8963 And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from end to end. 8964 And thou shalt overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars: and thou shalt overlay the bars with gold. 8965 And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was shewed thee in the mount. 8966 And thou shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made: 8967 And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold: their hooks shall be of gold, upon the four sockets of silver. 8968 And thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy. 8969 And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place. 8970 And thou shalt set the table without the vail, and the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and thou shalt put the table on the north side. 8971 And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework. 8972 And thou shalt make for the hanging five pillars of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, and their hooks shall be of gold: and thou shalt cast five sockets of brass for them. 8973 And thou shalt make an altar of shittim wood, five cubits long, and five cubits broad; the altar shall be foursquare: and the height thereof shall be three cubits. 8974 And thou shalt make the horns of it upon the four corners thereof: his horns shall be of the same: and thou shalt overlay it with brass. 8975 And thou shalt make his pans to receive his ashes, and his shovels, and his basons, and his fleshhooks, and his firepans: all the vessels thereof thou shalt make of brass. 8976 And thou shalt make for it a grate of network of brass; and upon the net shalt thou make four brasen rings in the four corners thereof. 8977 And thou shalt put it under the compass of the altar beneath, that the net may be even to the midst of the altar. 8978 And thou shalt make staves for the altar, staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with brass. 8979 And the staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar, to bear it. 8980 Hollow with boards shalt thou make it: as it was shewed thee in the mount, so shall they make it. 8981 And thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen of an hundred cubits long for one side: 8982 And the twenty pillars thereof and their twenty sockets shall be of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver. 8983 And likewise for the north side in length there shall be hangings of an hundred cubits long, and his twenty pillars and their twenty sockets of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver. 8984 And for the breadth of the court on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits: their pillars ten, and their sockets ten. 8985 And the breadth of the court on the east side eastward shall be fifty cubits. 8986 The hangings of one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits: their pillars three, and their sockets three. 8987 And on the other side shall be hangings fifteen cubits: their pillars three, and their sockets three. 8988 And for the gate of the court shall be an hanging of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework: and their pillars shall be four, and their sockets four. 8989 All the pillars round about the court shall be filleted with silver; their hooks shall be of silver, and their sockets of brass. 8990 The length of the court shall be an hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty every where, and the height five cubits of fine twined linen, and their sockets of brass. 8991 All the vessels of the tabernacle in all the service thereof, and all the pins thereof, and all the pins of the court, shall be of brass. 8992 And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always. 8993 In the tabernacle of the congregation without the vail, which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order it from evening to morning before the LORD: it shall be a statute for ever unto their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel. 8994 And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons. 8995 And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty. 8996 And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office. 8997 And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office. 8998 And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen. 8999 And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work. 9000 It shall have the two shoulderpieces thereof joined at the two edges thereof; and so it shall be joined together. 9001 And the curious girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to the work thereof; even of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. 9002 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel: 9003 Six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth. 9004 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel: thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold. 9005 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial unto the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial. 9006 And thou shalt make ouches of gold; 9007 And two chains of pure gold at the ends; of wreathen work shalt thou make them, and fasten the wreathen chains to the ouches. 9008 And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen, shalt thou make it. 9009 Foursquare it shall be being doubled; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span shall be the breadth thereof. 9010 And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this shall be the first row. 9011 And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond. 9012 And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst. 9013 And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings. 9014 And the stones shall be with the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet; every one with his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes. 9015 And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains at the ends of wreathen work of pure gold. 9016 And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. 9017 And thou shalt put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate. 9018 And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains thou shalt fasten in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod before it. 9019 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate in the border thereof, which is in the side of the ephod inward. 9020 And two other rings of gold thou shalt make, and shalt put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart thereof, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod. 9021 And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod. 9022 And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the LORD continually. 9023 And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth in before the LORD: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually. 9024 And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue. 9025 And there shall be an hole in the top of it, in the midst thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of an habergeon, that it be not rent. 9026 And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells of gold between them round about: 9027 A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about. 9028 And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the LORD, and when he cometh out, that he die not. 9029 And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD. 9030 And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be. 9031 And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD. 9032 And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen, and thou shalt make the mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make the girdle of needlework. 9033 And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make coats, and thou shalt make for them girdles, and bonnets shalt thou make for them, for glory and for beauty. 9034 And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office. 9035 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach: 9036 And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever unto him and his seed after him. 9037 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, 9038 And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of wheaten flour shalt thou make them. 9039 And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bullock and the two rams. 9040 And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with water. 9041 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: 9042 And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre. 9043 Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him. 9044 And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them. 9045 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. 9046 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. 9047 And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 9048 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. 9049 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. 9050 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. 9051 Thou shalt also take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram. 9052 And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar. 9053 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. 9054 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. 9055 And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram. 9056 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. 9057 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. 9058 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: 9059 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: 9060 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. 9061 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. 9062 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. 9063 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: 9064 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. 9065 And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them. 9066 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. 9067 And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and seethe his flesh in the holy place. 9068 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. 9069 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. 9070 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. 9071 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. 9072 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. 9073 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. 9074 Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually. 9075 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even: 9076 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. 9077 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. 9078 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. 9079 And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory. 9080 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. 9081 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God. 9082 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. 9083 And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shalt thou make it. 9084 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. 9085 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. 9086 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. 9087 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. 9088 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. 9089 And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it. 9090 And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations. 9091 Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon. 9092 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. 9093 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9094 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. 9095 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. 9096 Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD. 9097 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. 9098 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. 9099 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9100 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. 9101 For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat: 9102 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: 9103 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. 9104 Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9105 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, 9106 And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin: 9107 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. 9108 And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony, 9109 And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense, 9110 And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot. 9111 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy. 9112 And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office. 9113 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations. 9114 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. 9115 Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people. 9116 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: 9117 And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy: 9118 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. 9119 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. 9120 Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people. 9121 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9122 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: 9123 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, 9124 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 9125 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship. 9126 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; 9127 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, 9128 And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense, 9129 And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot, 9130 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, 9131 And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do. 9132 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9133 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. 9134 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. 9135 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. 9136 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. 9137 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. 9138 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. 9139 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. 9140 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. 9141 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. 9142 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. 9143 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. 9144 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. 9145 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: 9146 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. 9147 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 9148 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. 9149 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? 9150 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. 9151 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. 9152 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people. 9153 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. 9154 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables. 9155 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. 9156 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. 9157 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. 9158 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. 9159 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them? 9160 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief. 9161 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. 9162 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. 9163 And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:) 9164 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. 9165 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. 9166 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men. 9167 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. 9168 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. 9169 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. 9170 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. 9171 And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. 9172 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. 9173 And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made. 9174 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: 9175 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: 9176 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. 9177 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments. 9178 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. 9179 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb. 9180 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. 9181 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. 9182 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. 9183 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. 9184 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. 9185 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. 9186 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. 9187 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. 9188 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. 9189 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. 9190 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. 9191 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. 9192 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. 9193 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. 9194 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: 9195 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: 9196 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen. 9197 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. 9198 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. 9199 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. 9200 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. 9201 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. 9202 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, 9203 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. 9204 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped. 9205 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. 9206 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. 9207 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. 9208 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: 9209 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves: 9210 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God: 9211 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; 9212 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. 9213 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods. 9214 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. 9215 All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male. 9216 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. 9217 Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest. 9218 And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end. 9219 Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the LORD God, the God of Israel. 9220 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. 9221 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. 9222 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. 9223 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. 9224 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. 9225 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. 9226 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. 9227 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them. 9228 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. 9229 And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face. 9230 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. 9231 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. 9232 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. 9233 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. 9234 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day. 9235 And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying, 9236 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, 9237 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, 9238 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood, 9239 And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense, 9240 And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate. 9241 And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded; 9242 The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets, 9243 The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering, 9244 The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the shewbread, 9245 The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the light, 9246 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, 9247 The altar of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot, 9248 The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court, 9249 The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords, 9250 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. 9251 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. 9252 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. 9253 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. 9254 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. 9255 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. 9256 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. 9257 And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair. 9258 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate; 9259 And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. 9260 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. 9261 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; 9262 And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship; 9263 And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 9264 And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work. 9265 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 9266 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. 9267 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. 9268 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: 9269 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. 9270 And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made; 9271 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. 9272 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. 9273 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much. 9274 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. 9275 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. 9276 And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another. 9277 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. 9278 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. 9279 And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle. 9280 And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them. 9281 The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size. 9282 And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves. 9283 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. 9284 And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one. 9285 And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that. 9286 And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up. 9287 The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half. 9288 One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle. 9289 And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward: 9290 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. 9291 And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards, 9292 And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. 9293 And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards. 9294 And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides. 9295 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. 9296 And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets. 9297 And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle, 9298 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. 9299 And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other. 9300 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. 9301 And he made a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubims made he it of cunning work. 9302 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. 9303 And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework; 9304 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. 9305 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: 9306 And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about. 9307 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. 9308 And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold. 9309 And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark. 9310 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. 9311 And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat; 9312 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. 9313 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. 9314 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: 9315 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about. 9316 Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about. 9317 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof. 9318 Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table. 9319 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table. 9320 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. 9321 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: 9322 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: 9323 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. 9324 And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers: 9325 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. 9326 Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it was one beaten work of pure gold. 9327 And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure gold. 9328 Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof. 9329 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. 9330 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. 9331 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. 9332 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold. 9333 And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary. 9334 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. 9335 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. 9336 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. 9337 And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it. 9338 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves. 9339 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass. 9340 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. 9341 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. 9342 And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits: 9343 Their pillars were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. 9344 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. 9345 And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver. 9346 And for the east side eastward fifty cubits. 9347 The hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three. 9348 And for the other side of the court gate, on this hand and that hand, were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three. 9349 All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen. 9350 And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their chapiters of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver. 9351 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. 9352 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. 9353 And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass. 9354 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. 9355 And Bezaleel the son Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses. 9356 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. 9357 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. 9358 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: 9359 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. 9360 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. 9361 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them. 9362 And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels. 9363 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, 9364 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. 9365 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. 9366 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. 9367 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. 9368 They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together. 9369 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. 9370 And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel. 9371 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. 9372 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. 9373 It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled. 9374 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. 9375 And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond. 9376 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst. 9377 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings. 9378 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. 9379 And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold. 9380 And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate. 9381 And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate. 9382 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. 9383 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. 9384 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. 9385 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. 9386 And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue. 9387 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. 9388 And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen. 9389 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; 9390 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. 9391 And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons, 9392 And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen, 9393 And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses. 9394 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. 9395 And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses. 9396 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. 9397 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, 9398 And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering, 9399 The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat, 9400 The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread, 9401 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, 9402 And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door, 9403 The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot, 9404 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, 9405 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. 9406 According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work. 9407 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. 9408 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9409 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. 9410 And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail. 9411 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. 9412 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. 9413 And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. 9414 And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein. 9415 And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate. 9416 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. 9417 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. 9418 And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it. 9419 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water. 9420 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. 9421 And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats: 9422 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. 9423 Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he. 9424 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. 9425 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. 9426 And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses. 9427 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: 9428 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. 9429 And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail. 9430 And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses. 9431 And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward. 9432 And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses. 9433 And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail: 9434 And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses. 9435 And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle. 9436 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. 9437 And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal. 9438 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat: 9439 When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses. 9440 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. 9441 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. 9442 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. 9443 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys: 9444 But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up. 9445 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. 9446 And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, 9447 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. 9448 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. 9449 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. 9450 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. 9451 And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces. 9452 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire: 9453 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: 9454 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. 9455 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. 9456 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar. 9457 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: 9458 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. 9459 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. 9460 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: 9461 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: 9462 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. 9463 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: 9464 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: 9465 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. 9466 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. 9467 And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil. 9468 Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meat offering. 9469 And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in the fryingpan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. 9470 And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the LORD: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar. 9471 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. 9472 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. 9473 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. 9474 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. 9475 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. 9476 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. 9477 And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat offering. 9478 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. 9479 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. 9480 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. 9481 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, 9482 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away. 9483 And Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt sacrifice, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. 9484 And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering unto the LORD be of the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish. 9485 If he offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he offer it before the LORD. 9486 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the altar. 9487 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, 9488 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. 9489 And the priest shall burn it upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire unto the LORD. 9490 And if his offering be a goat, then he shall offer it before the LORD. 9491 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of it, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round about. 9492 And he shall offer thereof his offering, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, 9493 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. 9494 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet savour: all the fat is the LORD's. 9495 It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood. 9496 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9497 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: 9498 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. 9499 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. 9500 And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation: 9501 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. 9502 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. 9503 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, 9504 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, 9505 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. 9506 And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung, 9507 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. 9508 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; 9509 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. 9510 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. 9511 And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to the tabernacle of the congregation: 9512 And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, even before the vail. 9513 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. 9514 And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar. 9515 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. 9516 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. 9517 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; 9518 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: 9519 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. 9520 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. 9521 And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him. 9522 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; 9523 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. 9524 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. 9525 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. 9526 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. 9527 And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish. 9528 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. 9529 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: 9530 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. 9531 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. 9532 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. 9533 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. 9534 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. 9535 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: 9536 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. 9537 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. 9538 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: 9539 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. 9540 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. 9541 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. 9542 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. 9543 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. 9544 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9545 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. 9546 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. 9547 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. 9548 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. 9549 It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the LORD. 9550 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9551 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; 9552 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: 9553 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, 9554 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. 9555 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: 9556 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. 9557 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9558 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. 9559 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. 9560 And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place. 9561 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. 9562 The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out. 9563 And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar. 9564 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. 9565 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. 9566 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. 9567 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. 9568 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9569 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. 9570 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. 9571 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. 9572 For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten. 9573 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9574 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. 9575 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. 9576 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. 9577 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. 9578 All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it is most holy. 9579 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. 9580 Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy. 9581 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. 9582 And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards, 9583 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: 9584 And the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a trespass offering. 9585 Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it is most holy. 9586 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. 9587 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. 9588 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. 9589 And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another. 9590 And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the LORD. 9591 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. 9592 Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings. 9593 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. 9594 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. 9595 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: 9596 But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire. 9597 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. 9598 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. 9599 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. 9600 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. 9601 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9602 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat. 9603 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. 9604 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. 9605 Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings. 9606 Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people. 9607 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9608 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. 9609 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. 9610 And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'. 9611 And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest for an heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings. 9612 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. 9613 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. 9614 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; 9615 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. 9616 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; 9617 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. 9618 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9619 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; 9620 And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 9621 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 9622 And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which the LORD commanded to be done. 9623 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water. 9624 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. 9625 And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim. 9626 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. 9627 And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them. 9628 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. 9629 And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him. 9630 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. 9631 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. 9632 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. 9633 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. 9634 But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses. 9635 And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram. 9636 And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about. 9637 And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat. 9638 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. 9639 And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram. 9640 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. 9641 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. 9642 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: 9643 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: 9644 And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his sons' hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD. 9645 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. 9646 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. 9647 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. 9648 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. 9649 And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire. 9650 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. 9651 As he hath done this day, so the LORD hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for you. 9652 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. 9653 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses. 9654 And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel; 9655 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. 9656 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; 9657 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. 9658 And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD. 9659 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. 9660 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. 9661 Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself. 9662 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: 9663 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. 9664 And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp. 9665 And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar. 9666 And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar. 9667 And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar. 9668 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. 9669 And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the manner. 9670 And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning. 9671 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, 9672 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: 9673 And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar: 9674 And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded. 9675 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. 9676 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. 9677 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. 9678 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. 9679 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD. 9680 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. 9681 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. 9682 So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said. 9683 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. 9684 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. 9685 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying, 9686 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: 9687 And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean; 9688 And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses. 9689 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: 9690 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. 9691 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. 9692 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. 9693 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, 9694 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? 9695 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. 9696 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? 9697 And when Moses heard that, he was content. 9698 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, 9699 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. 9700 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. 9701 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. 9702 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 9703 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 9704 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. 9705 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you. 9706 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. 9707 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: 9708 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. 9709 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you. 9710 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, 9711 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind; 9712 Every raven after his kind; 9713 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, 9714 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, 9715 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, 9716 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. 9717 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you. 9718 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; 9719 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. 9720 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you. 9721 And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even. 9722 And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. 9723 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. 9724 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. 9725 And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you. 9726 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, 9727 And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole. 9728 These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even. 9729 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. 9730 And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it. 9731 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. 9732 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. 9733 Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean. 9734 And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean. 9735 But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you. 9736 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even. 9737 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. 9738 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten. 9739 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. 9740 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. 9741 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. 9742 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. 9743 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: 9744 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. 9745 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9746 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. 9747 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. 9748 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. 9749 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. 9750 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: 9751 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. 9752 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. 9753 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying, 9754 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: 9755 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. 9756 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: 9757 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: 9758 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. 9759 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. 9760 And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy. 9761 When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest; 9762 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; 9763 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. 9764 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; 9765 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. 9766 But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean. 9767 And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy. 9768 Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest; 9769 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. 9770 The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is healed, 9771 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; 9772 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. 9773 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: 9774 And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague. 9775 But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean. 9776 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; 9777 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. 9778 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: 9779 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. 9780 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. 9781 If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard; 9782 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. 9783 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: 9784 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; 9785 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: 9786 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. 9787 But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing; 9788 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. 9789 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. 9790 If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots; 9791 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. 9792 And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean. 9793 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. 9794 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. 9795 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; 9796 He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head. 9797 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. 9798 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. 9799 The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment; 9800 Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin; 9801 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: 9802 And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that hath the plague seven days: 9803 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. 9804 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. 9805 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; 9806 Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more: 9807 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. 9808 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: 9809 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. 9810 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. 9811 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. 9812 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9813 This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest: 9814 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; 9815 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: 9816 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water: 9817 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: 9818 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. 9819 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. 9820 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. 9821 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. 9822 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: 9823 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: 9824 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: 9825 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: 9826 And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand: 9827 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: 9828 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: 9829 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. 9830 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: 9831 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. 9832 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; 9833 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. 9834 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. 9835 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: 9836 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: 9837 And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand: 9838 And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD: 9839 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: 9840 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. 9841 And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get; 9842 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. 9843 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. 9844 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 9845 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; 9846 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: 9847 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: 9848 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; 9849 Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days: 9850 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; 9851 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: 9852 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: 9853 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. 9854 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; 9855 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. 9856 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. 9857 Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even. 9858 And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes. 9859 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. 9860 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop: 9861 And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water: 9862 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: 9863 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: 9864 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. 9865 This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall, 9866 And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house, 9867 And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot: 9868 To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy. 9869 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying, 9870 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. 9871 And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness. 9872 Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean. 9873 And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 9874 And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he sat that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 9875 And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 9876 And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 9877 And what saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean. 9878 And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the even: and he that beareth any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 9879 And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 9880 And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the issue, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water. 9881 And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean. 9882 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: 9883 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. 9884 And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even. 9885 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even. 9886 The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even. 9887 And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. 9888 And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean. 9889 And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 9890 And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 9891 And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even. 9892 And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean. 9893 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. 9894 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. 9895 And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 9896 But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. 9897 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. 9898 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. 9899 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. 9900 This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith; 9901 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. 9902 And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died; 9903 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. 9904 Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering. 9905 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. 9906 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. 9907 And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house. 9908 And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 9909 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat. 9910 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD's lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering. 9911 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. 9912 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: 9913 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: 9914 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: 9915 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. 9916 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: 9917 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. 9918 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. 9919 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. 9920 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. 9921 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: 9922 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: 9923 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. 9924 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: 9925 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. 9926 And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar. 9927 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. 9928 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. 9929 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp. 9930 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: 9931 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. 9932 It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever. 9933 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: 9934 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. 9935 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. 9936 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9937 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, 9938 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, 9939 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: 9940 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. 9941 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. 9942 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. 9943 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, 9944 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. 9945 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. 9946 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. 9947 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. 9948 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. 9949 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. 9950 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. 9951 But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity. 9952 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9953 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God. 9954 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. 9955 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God. 9956 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD. 9957 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD. 9958 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. 9959 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness. 9960 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. 9961 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. 9962 The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 9963 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman. 9964 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman. 9965 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt. 9966 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 9967 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness. 9968 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. 9969 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time. 9970 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness. 9971 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her. 9972 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. 9973 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. 9974 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. 9975 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: 9976 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. 9977 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: 9978 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;) 9979 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you. 9980 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people. 9981 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. 9982 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 9983 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. 9984 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God. 9985 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God. 9986 And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will. 9987 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. 9988 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted. 9989 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. 9990 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. 9991 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. 9992 Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another. 9993 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD. 9994 Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning. 9995 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD. 9996 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. 9997 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. 9998 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him. 9999 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. 10000 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. 10001 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. 10002 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. 10003 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. 10004 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. 10005 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal. 10006 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. 10007 Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times. 10008 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard. 10009 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD. 10010 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness. 10011 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD. 10012 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God. 10013 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD. 10014 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. 10015 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. 10016 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure. 10017 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. 10018 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD. 10019 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10020 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. 10021 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. 10022 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: 10023 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. 10024 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. 10025 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God. 10026 And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you. 10027 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. 10028 And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. 10029 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 10030 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them. 10031 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 10032 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you. 10033 And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast. 10034 And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 10035 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. 10036 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. 10037 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. 10038 And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless. 10039 And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless. 10040 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. 10041 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. 10042 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. 10043 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. 10044 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. 10045 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them. 10046 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: 10047 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. 10048 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled. 10049 But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself. 10050 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. 10051 They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy. 10052 They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God. 10053 Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I the LORD, which sanctify you, am holy. 10054 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire. 10055 And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes; 10056 Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother; 10057 Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD. 10058 And he shall take a wife in her virginity. 10059 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. 10060 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him. 10061 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10062 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. 10063 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, 10064 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, 10065 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; 10066 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. 10067 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy. 10068 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. 10069 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel. 10070 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10071 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. 10072 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. 10073 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; 10074 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; 10075 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. 10076 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food. 10077 That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith; I am the LORD. 10078 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. 10079 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. 10080 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. 10081 If the priest's daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things. 10082 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 be no stranger eat thereof. 10083 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. 10084 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD; 10085 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them. 10086 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10087 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; 10088 Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats. 10089 But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you. 10090 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. 10091 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. 10092 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. 10093 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. 10094 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. 10095 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10096 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. 10097 And whether it be cow, or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day. 10098 And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own will. 10099 On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am the LORD. 10100 Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD. 10101 Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you, 10102 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD. 10103 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10104 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. 10105 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. 10106 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. 10107 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's passover. 10108 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. 10109 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. 10110 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. 10111 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10112 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: 10113 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. 10114 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. 10115 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. 10116 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. 10117 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: 10118 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD. 10119 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. 10120 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. 10121 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. 10122 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. 10123 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. 10124 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. 10125 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10126 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. 10127 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 10128 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10129 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. 10130 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. 10131 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people. 10132 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people. 10133 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 10134 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. 10135 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10136 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. 10137 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. 10138 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. 10139 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: 10140 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. 10141 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. 10142 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. 10143 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. 10144 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: 10145 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. 10146 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD. 10147 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10148 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually. 10149 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. 10150 He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually. 10151 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake. 10152 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD. 10153 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. 10154 Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant. 10155 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. 10156 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; 10157 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:) 10158 And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them. 10159 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10160 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. 10161 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin. 10162 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. 10163 And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death. 10164 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast. 10165 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him; 10166 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. 10167 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death. 10168 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. 10169 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. 10170 And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying, 10171 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. 10172 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof; 10173 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. 10174 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. 10175 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. 10176 And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat. 10177 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. 10178 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. 10179 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. 10180 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. 10181 For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. 10182 In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession. 10183 And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another: 10184 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: 10185 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. 10186 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God:for I am the LORD your God. 10187 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety. 10188 And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety. 10189 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase: 10190 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. 10191 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. 10192 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, for ye are strangers and sojourners with me. 10193 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land. 10194 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. 10195 And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it; 10196 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. 10197 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. 10198 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. 10199 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. 10200 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. 10201 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time. 10202 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. 10203 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession. 10204 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. 10205 Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee. 10206 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase. 10207 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. 10208 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: 10209 But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile. 10210 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. 10211 For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen. 10212 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God. 10213 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. 10214 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. 10215 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. 10216 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: 10217 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him: 10218 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. 10219 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. 10220 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. 10221 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. 10222 And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight. 10223 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. 10224 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. 10225 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. 10226 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD. 10227 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; 10228 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. 10229 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. 10230 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. 10231 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 10232 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. 10233 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you. 10234 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new. 10235 And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you. 10236 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people. 10237 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. 10238 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; 10239 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: 10240 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. 10241 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. 10242 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. 10243 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: 10244 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. 10245 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. 10246 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. 10247 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me; 10248 Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins. 10249 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. 10250 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. 10251 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; 10252 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. 10253 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. 10254 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. 10255 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours. 10256 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it. 10257 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. 10258 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. 10259 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. 10260 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. 10261 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. 10262 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 10263 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. 10264 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; 10265 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: 10266 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. 10267 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. 10268 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. 10269 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. 10270 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. 10271 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10272 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. 10273 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. 10274 And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels. 10275 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. 10276 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. 10277 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. 10278 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. 10279 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. 10280 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. 10281 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: 10282 And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be. 10283 But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation. 10284 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. 10285 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. 10286 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. 10287 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand. 10288 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. 10289 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. 10290 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. 10291 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. 10292 And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession; 10293 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. 10294 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. 10295 And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel. 10296 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. 10297 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. 10298 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. 10299 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death. 10300 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. 10301 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof. 10302 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. 10303 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. 10304 These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai. 10305 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, 10306 Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls; 10307 From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies. 10308 And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of the house of his fathers. 10309 And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you: of the tribe of Reuben; Elizur the son of Shedeur. 10310 Of Simeon; Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 10311 Of Judah; Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 10312 Of Issachar; Nethaneel the son of Zuar. 10313 Of Zebulun; Eliab the son of Helon. 10314 Of the children of Joseph: of Ephraim;

Eliasaph the son of Deuel. 10319 Of Naphtali; Ahira the son of Enan. 10320 These were the renowned of the congregation, princes of the tribes of their fathers, heads of thousands in Israel. 10321 And Moses and Aaron took these men which are expressed by their names: 10322 And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls. 10323 As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai. 10324 And the children of Reuben, Israel's eldest son, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; 10325 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Reuben, were forty and six thousand and five hundred. 10326 Of the children of Simeon, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, those that were numbered of them, according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; 10327 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Simeon, were fifty and nine thousand and three hundred. 10328 Of the children of Gad, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

10331 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Judah, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred. 10332 Of the children of Issachar, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; 10333 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Issachar, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred. 10334 Of the children of Zebulun, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; 10335 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Zebulun, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred. 10336 Of the children of Joseph, namely, of the children of Ephraim, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; 10337 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand and five hundred. 10338 Of the children of Manasseh, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; 10339 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Manasseh, were thirty and two thousand and two hundred. 10340 Of the children of Benjamin, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; 10341 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Benjamin, were thirty and five thousand and four hundred. 10342 Of the children of Dan, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; 10343 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Dan, were threescore and two thousand and seven hundred. 10344 Of the children of Asher, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; 10345 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Asher, were forty and one thousand and five hundred. 10346 Of the children of Naphtali, throughout their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; 10347 Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Naphtali, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred. 10348 These are those that were numbered, which Moses and Aaron numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve men: each one was for the house of his fathers. 10349 So were all those that were numbered of the children of Israel, by the house of their fathers, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Israel; 10350 Even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty. 10351 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them. 10352 For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying, 10353 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel: 10354 But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle. 10355 And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. 10356 And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts. 10357 But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony. 10358 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they. 10359 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 10360 Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch. 10361 And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah. 10362 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred. 10363 And those that do pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of Issachar: and Nethaneel the son of Zuar shall be captain of the children of Issachar. 10364 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred. 10365 Then the tribe of Zebulun: and Eliab the son of Helon shall be captain of the children of Zebulun. 10366 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred. 10367 All that were numbered in the camp of Judah were an hundred thousand and fourscore thousand and six thousand and four hundred, throughout their armies. These shall first set forth. 10368 On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their armies: and the captain of the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur. 10369 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were forty and six thousand and five hundred. 10370 And those which pitch by him shall be the tribe of Simeon: and the captain of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 10371 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and nine thousand and three hundred. 10372 Then the tribe of Gad: and the captain of the sons of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel. 10373 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and five thousand and six hundred and fifty. 10374 All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben were an hundred thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and fifty, throughout their armies. And they shall set forth in the second rank. 10375 Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp: as they encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his place by their standards. 10376 On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their armies: and the captain of the sons of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud. 10377 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty thousand and five hundred. 10378 And by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh: and the captain of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 10379 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty and two thousand and two hundred. 10380 Then the tribe of Benjamin: and the captain of the sons of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni. 10381 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty and five thousand and four hundred. 10382 All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were an hundred thousand and eight thousand and an hundred, throughout their armies. And they shall go forward in the third rank. 10383 The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the north side by their armies: and the captain of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 10384 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and two thousand and seven hundred. 10385 And those that encamp by him shall be the tribe of Asher: and the captain of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran. 10386 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and one thousand and five hundred. 10387 Then the tribe of Naphtali: and the captain of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan. 10388 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred. 10389 All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan were an hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred. They shall go hindmost with their standards. 10390 These are those which were numbered of the children of Israel by the house of their fathers: all those that were numbered of the camps throughout their hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty. 10391 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses. 10392 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward, every one after their families, according to the house of their fathers. 10393 These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai. 10394 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 10395 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office. 10396 And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father. 10397 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10398 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him. 10399 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle. 10400 And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. 10401 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel. 10402 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. 10403 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10404 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; 10405 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. 10406 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying, 10407 Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them. 10408 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was commanded. 10409 And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari. 10410 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Libni, and Shimei. 10411 And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 10412 And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to the house of their fathers. 10413 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites. 10414 Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred. 10415 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward. 10416 And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael. 10417 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 10418 And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof. 10419 And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites. 10420 In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary. 10421 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward. 10422 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel. 10423 And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service thereof. 10424 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over the chief of the Levites, and have the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary. 10425 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari. 10426 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred. 10427 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle northward. 10428 And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels thereof, and all that serveth thereto, 10429 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords. 10430 But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. 10431 All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand. 10432 And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names. 10433 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel. 10434 And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel. 10435 And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen. 10436 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10437 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the LORD. 10438 And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites; 10439 Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel is twenty gerahs:) 10440 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons. 10441 And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites: 10442 Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: 10443 And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses. 10444 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 10445 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers, 10446 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation. 10447 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things: 10448 And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it: 10449 And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof. 10450 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon: 10451 And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves thereof. 10452 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it: 10453 And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a bar. 10454 And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put to the staves thereof: 10455 And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put them on a bar: 10456 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon: 10457 And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, even the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it. 10458 And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation. 10459 And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest pertaineth the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein is, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof. 10460 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying, 10461 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites: 10462 But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden: 10463 But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die. 10464 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10465 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families; 10466 From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation. 10467 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens: 10468 And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the badgers' skins that is above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 10469 And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and all that is made for them: so shall they serve. 10470 At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their service: and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens. 10471 This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 10472 As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their families, by the house of their fathers; 10473 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation. 10474 And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and sockets thereof, 10475 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name ye shall reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden. 10476 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the tabernacle of the congregation, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 10477 And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the house of their fathers, 10478 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation: 10479 And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty. 10480 These were they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, which Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 10481 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, and by the house of their fathers, 10482 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation, 10483 Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers, were two thousand and six hundred and thirty. 10484 These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, of all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of the LORD. 10485 And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers, 10486 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation, 10487 Even those that were numbered of them after their families, were three thousand and two hundred. 10488 These be those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 10489 All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the chief of Israel numbered, after their families, and after the house of their fathers, 10490 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that came to do the service of the ministry, and the service of the burden in the tabernacle of the congregation. 10491 Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore, 10492 According to the commandment of the LORD they were numbered by the hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as the LORD commanded Moses. 10493 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10494 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: 10495 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. 10496 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. 10497 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10498 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; 10499 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. 10500 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. 10501 And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his. 10502 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his. 10503 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10504 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him, 10505 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; 10506 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: 10507 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. 10508 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD: 10509 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: 10510 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: 10511 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: 10512 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: 10513 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; 10514 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. 10515 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water: 10516 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. 10517 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: 10518 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. 10519 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. 10520 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed. 10521 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled; 10522 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. 10523 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity. 10524 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10525 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: 10526 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. 10527 All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk. 10528 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. 10529 All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body. 10530 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. 10531 All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD. 10532 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. 10533 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: 10534 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. 10535 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. 10536 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: 10537 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, 10538 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. 10539 And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering: 10540 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. 10541 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. 10542 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: 10543 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. 10544 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. 10545 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10546 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, 10547 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 10548 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 10549 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. 10550 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them. 10551 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; 10552 That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who were the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered: 10553 And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle. 10554 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10555 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. 10556 And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites. 10557 Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to their service: 10558 And four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 10559 But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the service of the sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear upon their shoulders. 10560 And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering before the altar. 10561 And the LORD said unto Moses, They shall offer their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar. 10562 And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah: 10563 And his offering was one silver charger, the weight thereof was an hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them were full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering: 10564 One spoon of ten shekels of gold, full of incense: 10565 One young bullock, one ram, one lamb of the first year, for a burnt offering: 10566 One kid of the goats for a sin offering: 10567 And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 10568 On the second day Nethaneel the son of Zuar, prince of Issachar, did offer: 10569 He offered for his offering one silver charger, the weight whereof was an hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary;

This was the dedication of the altar, after that it was anointed. 10639 And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims: and he spake unto him. 10640 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10641 Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick. 10642 And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses. 10643 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. 10644 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10645 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them. 10646 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. 10647 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. 10648 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: 10649 And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites: 10650 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. 10651 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. 10652 And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD. 10653 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine. 10654 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. 10655 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. 10656 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. 10657 And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel. 10658 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. 10659 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. 10660 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. 10661 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. 10662 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10663 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: 10664 And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more: 10665 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. 10666 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, 10667 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season. 10668 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. 10669 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover. 10670 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. 10671 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: 10672 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? 10673 And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you. 10674 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10675 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. 10676 The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. 10677 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. 10678 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. 10679 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. 10680 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. 10681 So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. 10682 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. 10683 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. 10684 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. 10685 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. 10686 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. 10687 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. 10688 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. 10689 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10690 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. 10691 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 10692 And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee. 10693 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward. 10694 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. 10695 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm. 10696 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. 10697 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. 10698 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. 10699 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. 10700 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran. 10701 And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 10702 In the first place went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies: and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 10703 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar. 10704 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon. 10705 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle. 10706 And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur. 10707 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 10708 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel. 10709 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other did set up the tabernacle against they came. 10710 And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elishama the son of Ammihud. 10711 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 10712 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni. 10713 And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, which was the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 10714 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran. 10715 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan. 10716 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward. 10717 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. 10718 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred. 10719 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. 10720 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. 10721 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. 10722 And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp. 10723 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. 10724 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel. 10725 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. 10726 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched. 10727 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them. 10728 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? 10729 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: 10730 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes. 10731 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium. 10732 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. 10733 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it. 10734 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. 10735 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? 10736 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? 10737 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat. 10738 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me. 10739 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. 10740 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. 10741 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. 10742 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. 10743 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days; 10744 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? 10745 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. 10746 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? 10747 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. 10748 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. 10749 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. 10750 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. 10751 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp. 10752 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them. 10753 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! 10754 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel. 10755 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. 10756 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. 10757 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. 10758 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted. 10759 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth. 10760 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman. 10761 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it. 10762 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.) 10763 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. 10764 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. 10765 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. 10766 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. 10767 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? 10768 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed. 10769 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. 10770 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. 10771 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb. 10772 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee. 10773 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. 10774 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again. 10775 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran. 10776 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10777 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. 10778 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. 10779 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. 10780 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. 10781 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 10782 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. 10783 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun. 10784 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu. 10785 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. 10786 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. 10787 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. 10788 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael. 10789 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. 10790 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. 10791 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua. 10792 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: 10793 And see the land, what it is, and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many; 10794 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; 10795 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. 10796 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath. 10797 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.) 10798 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. 10799 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence. 10800 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days. 10801 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. 10802 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. 10803 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. 10804 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. 10805 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. 10806 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. 10807 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. 10808 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. 10809 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. 10810 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! 10811 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? 10812 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt. 10813 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel. 10814 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes: 10815 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. 10816 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. 10817 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. 10818 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. 10819 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? 10820 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they. 10821 And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;) 10822 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. 10823 Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying, 10824 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. 10825 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my LORD be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying, 10826 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. 10827 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. 10828 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word: 10829 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD. 10830 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; 10831 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it: 10832 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. 10833 (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. 10834 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 10835 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. 10836 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: 10837 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. 10838 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. 10839 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. 10840 But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness. 10841 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness. 10842 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. 10843 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. 10844 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, 10845 Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD. 10846 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. 10847 And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly. 10848 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. 10849 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper. 10850 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies. 10851 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. 10852 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. 10853 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah. 10854 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10855 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, 10856 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: 10857 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. 10858 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. 10859 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. 10860 And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the LORD. 10861 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD: 10862 Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil. 10863 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. 10864 Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid. 10865 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number. 10866 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. 10867 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. 10868 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. 10869 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you. 10870 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10871 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you, 10872 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD. 10873 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. 10874 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave offering in your generations. 10875 And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses, 10876 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; 10877 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. 10878 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: 10879 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. 10880 And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering. 10881 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. 10882 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. 10883 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. 10884 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. 10885 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. 10886 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. 10887 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. 10888 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. 10889 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses. 10890 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10891 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: 10892 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: 10893 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God. 10894 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. 10895 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: 10896 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: 10897 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? 10898 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face: 10899 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. 10900 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company; 10901 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. 10902 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi: 10903 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? 10904 And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also? 10905 For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him? 10906 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up: 10907 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? 10908 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. 10909 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. 10910 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow: 10911 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. 10912 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. 10913 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. 10914 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 10915 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. 10916 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? 10917 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10918 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. 10919 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him. 10920 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of their's, lest ye be consumed in all their sins. 10921 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. 10922 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. 10923 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. 10924 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. 10925 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: 10926 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. 10927 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. 10928 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also. 10929 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense. 10930 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10931 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. 10932 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. 10933 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: 10934 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. 10935 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. 10936 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. 10937 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation. 10938 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10939 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces. 10940 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. 10941 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. 10942 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed. 10943 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah. 10944 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed. 10945 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10946 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. 10947 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. 10948 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you. 10949 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. 10950 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. 10951 And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness. 10952 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. 10953 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. 10954 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. 10955 And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he. 10956 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish. 10957 Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying? 10958 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. 10959 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. 10960 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. 10961 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. 10962 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. 10963 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. 10964 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. 10965 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. 10966 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. 10967 In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee. 10968 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. 10969 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. 10970 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. 10971 Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine. 10972 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. 10973 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. 10974 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. 10975 And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine. 10976 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. 10977 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. 10978 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. 10979 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die. 10980 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. 10981 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. 10982 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10983 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. 10984 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. 10985 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. 10986 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. 10987 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. 10988 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. 10989 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. 10990 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 10991 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: 10992 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: 10993 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: 10994 And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn: 10995 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer. 10996 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. 10997 And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even. 10998 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. 10999 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. 11000 He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days. 11001 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. 11002 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. 11003 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. 11004 And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean. 11005 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. 11006 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: 11007 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: 11008 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. 11009 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. 11010 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. 11011 And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even. 11012 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. 11013 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron. 11014 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD! 11015 And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there? 11016 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. 11017 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. 11018 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 11019 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. 11020 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him. 11021 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? 11022 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. 11023 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. 11024 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them. 11025 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: 11026 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers: 11027 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: 11028 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. 11029 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword. 11030 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. 11031 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand. 11032 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him. 11033 And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor. 11034 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying, 11035 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. 11036 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor: 11037 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. 11038 And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation. 11039 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. 11040 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel. 11041 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. 11042 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. 11043 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. 11044 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. 11045 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. 11046 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. 11047 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. 11048 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. 11049 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. 11050 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth. 11051 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising. 11052 From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared. 11053 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. 11054 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, 11055 And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab. 11056 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. 11057 Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it: 11058 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: 11059 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth: 11060 And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon. 11061 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 11062 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. 11063 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. 11064 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. 11065 And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof. 11066 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. 11067 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared: 11068 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. 11069 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. 11070 We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba. 11071 Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites. 11072 And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there. 11073 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. 11074 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. 11075 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land. 11076 And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho. 11077 And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. 11078 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel. 11079 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. 11080 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: 11081 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. 11082 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. 11083 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. 11084 And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee? 11085 And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying, 11086 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. 11087 And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed. 11088 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. 11089 And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us. 11090 And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they. 11091 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: 11092 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. 11093 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. 11094 Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more. 11095 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. 11096 And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab. 11097 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. 11098 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. 11099 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. 11100 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. 11101 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. 11102 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. 11103 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? 11104 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. 11105 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. 11106 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. 11107 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: 11108 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. 11109 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. 11110 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. 11111 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. 11112 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? 11113 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. 11114 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth. 11115 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him. 11116 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. 11117 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams. 11118 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram. 11119 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. 11120 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. 11121 And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak. 11122 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab. 11123 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. 11124 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied? 11125 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. 11126 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! 11127 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. 11128 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth? 11129 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. 11130 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. 11131 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder. 11132 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus. 11133 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? 11134 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor: 11135 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? 11136 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. 11137 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. 11138 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn. 11139 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! 11140 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. 11141 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all. 11142 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do? 11143 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. 11144 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon. 11145 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. 11146 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar. 11147 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. 11148 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. 11149 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said: 11150 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: 11151 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel! 11152 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. 11153 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. 11154 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. 11155 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. 11156 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. 11157 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. 11158 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying, 11159 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? 11160 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. 11161 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said: 11162 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: 11163 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. 11164 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly. 11165 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city. 11166 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. 11167 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. 11168 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive. 11169 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this! 11170 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever. 11171 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way. 11172 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. 11173 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. 11174 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel. 11175 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. 11176 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor. 11177 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. 11178 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; 11179 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. 11180 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand. 11181 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 11182 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. 11183 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace: 11184 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. 11185 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. 11186 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. 11187 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 11188 Vex the Midianites, and smite them: 11189 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. 11190 And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying, 11191 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. 11192 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying, 11193 Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward; as the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt. 11194 Reuben, the eldest son of Israel: the children of Reuben; Hanoch, of whom cometh the family of the Hanochites: of Pallu, the family of the Palluites: 11195 Of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites: of Carmi, the family of the Carmites. 11196 These are the families of the Reubenites: and they that were numbered of them were forty and three thousand and seven hundred and thirty. 11197 And the sons of Pallu; Eliab. 11198 And the sons of Eliab; Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. This is that Dathan and Abiram, which were famous in the congregation, who strove against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they strove against the LORD: 11199 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died, what time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men: and they became a sign. 11200 Notwithstanding the children of Korah died not. 11201 The sons of Simeon after their families: of Nemuel, the family of the Nemuelites: of Jamin, the family of the Jaminites: of Jachin, the family of the Jachinites: 11202 Of Zerah, the family of the Zarhites: of Shaul, the family of the Shaulites. 11203 These are the families of the Simeonites, twenty and two thousand and two hundred. 11204 The children of Gad after their families: of Zephon, the family of the Zephonites: of Haggi, the family of the Haggites: of Shuni, the family of the Shunites: 11205 Of Ozni, the family of the Oznites: of Eri, the family of the Erites: 11206 Of Arod, the family of the Arodites: of Areli, the family of the Arelites. 11207 These are the families of the children of Gad according to those that were numbered of them, forty thousand and five hundred. 11208 The sons of Judah were Er and Onan: and Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. 11209 And the sons of Judah after their families were; of Shelah, the family of the Shelanites: of Pharez, the family of the Pharzites: of Zerah, the family of the Zarhites. 11210 And the sons of Pharez were; of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites: of Hamul, the family of the Hamulites. 11211 These are the families of Judah according to those that were numbered of them, threescore and sixteen thousand and five hundred. 11212 Of the sons of Issachar after their families: of Tola, the family of the Tolaites: of Pua, the family of the Punites: 11213 Of Jashub, the family of the Jashubites: of Shimron, the family of the Shimronites. 11214 These are the families of Issachar according to those that were numbered of them, threescore and four thousand and three hundred. 11215 Of the sons of Zebulun after their families: of Sered, the family of the Sardites: of Elon, the family of the Elonites: of Jahleel, the family of the Jahleelites. 11216 These are the families of the Zebulunites according to those that were numbered of them, threescore thousand and five hundred. 11217 The sons of Joseph after their families were Manasseh and Ephraim. 11218 Of the sons of Manasseh: of Machir, the family of the Machirites: and Machir begat Gilead: of Gilead come the family of the Gileadites. 11219 These are the sons of Gilead: of Jeezer, the family of the Jeezerites: of Helek, the family of the Helekites: 11220 And of Asriel, the family of the Asrielites: and of Shechem, the family of the Shechemites: 11221 And of Shemida, the family of the Shemidaites: and of Hepher, the family of the Hepherites. 11222 And Zelophehad the son of Hepher had no sons, but daughters: and the names of the daughters of Zelophehad were Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 11223 These are the families of Manasseh, and those that were numbered of them, fifty and two thousand and seven hundred. 11224 These are the sons of Ephraim after their families: of Shuthelah, the family of the Shuthalhites: of Becher, the family of the Bachrites: of Tahan, the family of the Tahanites. 11225 And these are the sons of Shuthelah: of Eran, the family of the Eranites. 11226 These are the families of the sons of Ephraim according to those that were numbered of them, thirty and two thousand and five hundred.

And Kohath begat Amram. 11248 And the name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom her mother bare to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister. 11249 And unto Aaron was born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 11250 And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before the LORD. 11251 And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel. 11252 These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho. 11253 But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai. 11254 For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. 11255 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah. 11256 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, 11257 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons. 11258 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father. 11259 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD. 11260 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 11261 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them. 11262 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter. 11263 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren. 11264 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren. 11265 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses. 11266 And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel. 11267 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered. 11268 For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin. 11269 And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying, 11270 Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation, 11271 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. 11272 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; 11273 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight. 11274 And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient. 11275 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation. 11276 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation: 11277 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses. 11278 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 11279 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. 11280 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. 11281 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even; 11282 And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil. 11283 It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD. 11284 And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the LORD for a drink offering. 11285 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. 11286 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: 11287 This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering. 11288 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot; 11289 And three tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, for one ram; 11290 And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil for a meat offering unto one lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD. 11291 And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a bullock, and the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth part of an hin unto a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year. 11292 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD shall be offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering. 11293 And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the LORD. 11294 And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten. 11295 In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work therein: 11296 But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first year: they shall be unto you without blemish: 11297 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil: three tenth deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram; 11298 A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout the seven lambs: 11299 And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you. 11300 Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering. 11301 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. 11302 And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work. 11303 Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering unto the LORD, after your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: 11304 But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD; two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year; 11305 And their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto one bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram, 11306 A several tenth deal unto one lamb, throughout the seven lambs; 11307 And one kid of the goats, to make an atonement for you. 11308 Ye shall offer them beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, (they shall be unto you without blemish) and their drink offerings. 11309 And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing the trumpets unto you. 11310 And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year without blemish: 11311 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram, 11312 And one tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs: 11313 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you: 11314 Beside the burnt offering of the month, and his meat offering, and the daily burnt offering, and his meat offering, and their drink offerings, according unto their manner, for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD. 11315 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: 11316 But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD for a sweet savour; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year; they shall be unto you without blemish: 11317 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals to a bullock, and two tenth deals to one ram, 11318 A several tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs: 11319 One kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the sin offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering of it, and their drink offerings. 11320 And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: 11321 And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; thirteen young bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year; they shall be without blemish: 11322 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto every bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth deals to each ram of the two rams, 11323 And a several tenth deal to each lamb of the fourteen lambs: 11324 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering. 11325 And on the second day ye shall offer twelve young bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without spot: 11326 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: 11327 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering thereof, and their drink offerings. 11328 And on the third day eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish; 11329 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: 11330 And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering. 11331 And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish: 11332 Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: 11333 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering. 11334 And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without spot: 11335 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: 11336 And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering. 11337 And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish: 11338 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: 11339 And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering. 11340 And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish: 11341 And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: 11342 And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering. 11343 On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye shall do no servile work therein: 11344 But ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: one bullock, one ram, seven lambs of the first year without blemish: 11345 Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullock, for the ram, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: 11346 And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering. 11347 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. 11348 And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the LORD commanded Moses. 11349 And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded. 11350 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. 11351 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; 11352 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. 11353 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. 11354 And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul; 11355 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. 11356 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. 11357 But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her. 11358 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath; 11359 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. 11360 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. 11361 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void. 11362 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. 11363 But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity. 11364 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. 11365 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 11366 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people. 11367 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. 11368 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war. 11369 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. 11370 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. 11371 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males. 11372 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. 11373 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. 11374 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire. 11375 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts. 11376 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. 11377 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp. 11378 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle. 11379 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? 11380 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. 11381 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. 11382 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. 11383 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. 11384 And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood. 11385 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; 11386 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead, 11387 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. 11388 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp. 11389 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 11390 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: 11391 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: 11392 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: 11393 Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD. 11394 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. 11395 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses. 11396 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, 11397 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves, 11398 And threescore and one thousand asses, 11399 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him. 11400 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: 11401 And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen. 11402 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was threescore and twelve. 11403 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD's tribute was threescore and one. 11404 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was thirty and two persons. 11405 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses. 11406 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred, 11407 (Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep, 11408 And thirty and six thousand beeves, 11409 And thirty thousand asses and five hundred, 11410 And sixteen thousand persons;) 11411 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. 11412 And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses: 11413 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. 11414 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. 11415 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels. 11416 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. 11417 (For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.) 11418 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. 11419 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; 11420 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, 11421 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon, 11422 Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle: 11423 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. 11424 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? 11425 And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them? 11426 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land. 11427 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. 11428 And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying, 11429 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: 11430 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD. 11431 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. 11432 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. 11433 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people. 11434 And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones: 11435 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. 11436 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance. 11437 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. 11438 And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war, 11439 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him, 11440 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. 11441 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out. 11442 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth. 11443 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth. 11444 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead: 11445 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith. 11446 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: 11447 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: 11448 But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan. 11449 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do. 11450 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. 11451 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. 11452 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, 11453 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah, 11454 And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for sheep. 11455 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim, 11456 And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded. 11457 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it. 11458 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein. 11459 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havothjair. 11460 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name. 11461 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. 11462 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. 11463 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. 11464 For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments. 11465 And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth. 11466 And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness. 11467 And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pihahiroth, which is before Baalzephon: and they pitched before Migdol. 11468 And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah. 11469 And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched there. 11470 And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea. 11471 And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin. 11472 And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah. 11473 And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush. 11474 And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink. 11475 And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai. 11476 And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at Kibrothhattaavah. 11477 And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth. 11478 And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah. 11479 And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmonparez. 11480 And they departed from Rimmonparez, and pitched in Libnah. 11481 And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah. 11482 And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah. 11483 And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher. 11484 And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah. 11485 And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth. 11486 And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath. 11487 And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah. 11488 And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah. 11489 And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah. 11490 And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth. 11491 And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Benejaakan. 11492 And they removed from Benejaakan, and encamped at Horhagidgad. 11493 And they went from Horhagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah. 11494 And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah. 11495 And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Eziongaber. 11496 And they removed from Eziongaber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh. 11497 And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom. 11498 And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month. 11499 And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor. 11500 And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel. 11501 And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah. 11502 And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon. 11503 And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth. 11504 And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ijeabarim, in the border of Moab. 11505 And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad. 11506 And they removed from Dibongad, and encamped in Almondiblathaim. 11507 And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo. 11508 And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho. 11509 And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth even unto Abelshittim in the plains of Moab. 11510 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying, 11511 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan; 11512 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: 11513 And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it. 11514 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. 11515 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. 11516 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them. 11517 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 11518 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:) 11519 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: 11520 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: 11521 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. 11522 And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border. 11523 And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor: 11524 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: 11525 And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border. 11526 And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham: 11527 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: 11528 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. 11529 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: 11530 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: 11531 The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising. 11532 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 11533 These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. 11534 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance. 11535 And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 11536 And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud. 11537 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon. 11538 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli. 11539 The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod. 11540 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan. 11541 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach. 11542 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan. 11543 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi. 11544 And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud. 11545 These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan. 11546 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying, 11547 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. 11548 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. 11549 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. 11550 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. 11551 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. 11552 So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs. 11553 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. 11554 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 11555 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan; 11556 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. 11557 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. 11558 And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge. 11559 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. 11560 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. 11561 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. 11562 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. 11563 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. 11564 The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him. 11565 But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die; 11566 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. 11567 But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait, 11568 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: 11569 Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments: 11570 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. 11571 But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled; 11572 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: 11573 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. 11574 So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 11575 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. 11576 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. 11577 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. 11578 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. 11579 Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel. 11580 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: 11581 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. 11582 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. 11583 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. 11584 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. 11585 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. 11586 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. 11587 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. 11588 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. 11589 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad: 11590 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons: 11591 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. 11592 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. 11593 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. 11594 (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.) 11595 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; 11596 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: 11597 On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, 11598 The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: 11599 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. 11600 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. 11601 And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone: 11602 The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude. 11603 (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!) 11604 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife? 11605 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you. 11606 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do. 11607 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. 11608 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. 11609 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. 11610 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do. 11611 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. 11612 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us. 11613 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. 11614 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. 11615 And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe: 11616 And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out. 11617 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. 11618 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God: 11619 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. 11620 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. 11621 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them. 11622 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; 11623 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. 11624 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God, 11625 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. 11626 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying, 11627 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers. 11628 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. 11629 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither. 11630 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. 11631 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. 11632 But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea. 11633 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. 11634 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. 11635 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. 11636 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. 11637 And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you. 11638 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there. 11639 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. 11640 And the LORD spake unto me, saying, 11641 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward. 11642 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: 11643 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. 11644 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. 11645 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. 11646 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. 11647 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. 11648 The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; 11649 Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims. 11650 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. 11651 Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered. 11652 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. 11653 For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed. 11654 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people, 11655 That the LORD spake unto me, saying, 11656 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day: 11657 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. 11658 (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims; 11659 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: 11660 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: 11661 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.) 11662 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. 11663 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. 11664 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying, 11665 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. 11666 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; 11667 (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. 11668 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. 11669 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. 11670 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz. 11671 And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people. 11672 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: 11673 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took. 11674 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: 11675 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. 11676 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. 11677 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. 11678 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. 11679 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. 11680 All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many. 11681 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city. 11682 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves. 11683 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; 11684 (Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir;) 11685 All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11686 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. 11687 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. 11688 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. 11689 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. 11690 And I gave Gilead unto Machir. 11691 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; 11692 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. 11693 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. 11694 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; 11695 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. 11696 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. 11697 Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you. 11698 And I besought the LORD at that time, saying, 11699 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? 11700 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon. 11701 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. 11702 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. 11703 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. 11704 So we abode in the valley over against Bethpeor. 11705 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. 11706 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. 11707 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. 11708 But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day. 11709 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. 11710 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. 11711 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? 11712 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? 11713 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; 11714 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. 11715 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. 11716 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. 11717 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. 11718 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. 11719 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: 11720 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female, 11721 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, 11722 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth: 11723 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. 11724 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. 11725 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: 11726 But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land. 11727 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. 11728 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. 11729 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: 11730 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. 11731 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. 11732 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 11733 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. 11734 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; 11735 (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. 11736 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? 11737 Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live? 11738 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? 11739 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him. 11740 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. 11741 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; 11742 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. 11743 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. 11744 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. 11745 Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising; 11746 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: 11747 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. 11748 And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel: 11749 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. 11750 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: 11751 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; 11752 From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon, 11753 And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah. 11754 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. 11755 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 11756 The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. 11757 The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire, 11758 (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, 11759 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 11760 Thou shalt have none other gods before me. 11761 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: 11762 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, 11763 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. 11764 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. 11765 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee. 11766 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: 11767 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. 11768 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. 11769 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. 11770 Thou shalt not kill. 11771 Neither shalt thou commit adultery. 11772 Neither shalt thou steal. 11773 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour. 11774 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. 11775 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. 11776 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; 11777 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. 11778 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. 11779 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? 11780 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. 11781 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. 11782 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! 11783 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again. 11784 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. 11785 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. 11786 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. 11787 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: 11788 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. 11789 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. 11790 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: 11791 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 11792 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 11793 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. 11794 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 11795 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. 11796 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, 11797 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; 11798 Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 11799 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name. 11800 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you; 11801 (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. 11802 Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah. 11803 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee. 11804 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. 11805 To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken. 11806 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? 11807 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: 11808 And the LORD shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes: 11809 And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers. 11810 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. 11811 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us. 11812 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; 11813 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: 11814 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. 11815 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. 11816 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. 11817 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. 11818 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: 11819 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. 11820 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; 11821 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. 11822 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them. 11823 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: 11824 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. 11825 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. 11826 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. 11827 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. 11828 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them? 11829 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt; 11830 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. 11831 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed. 11832 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible. 11833 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. 11834 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed. 11835 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. 11836 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 therin: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God. 11837 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. 11838 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. 11839 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. 11840 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. 11841 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. 11842 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. 11843 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. 11844 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; 11845 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; 11846 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. 11847 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. 11848 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: 11849 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; 11850 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; 11851 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; 11852 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; 11853 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; 11854 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. 11855 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. 11856 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. 11857 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. 11858 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, 11859 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! 11860 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. 11861 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. 11862 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. 11863 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. 11864 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. 11865 Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you. 11866 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: 11867 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. 11868 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. 11869 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. 11870 Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 11871 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. 11872 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. 11873 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. 11874 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes. 11875 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. 11876 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. 11877 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time. 11878 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. 11879 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath. 11880 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. 11881 Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you. 11882 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. 11883 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. 11884 Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin: 11885 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. 11886 Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm. 11887 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. 11888 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. 11889 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. 11890 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. 11891 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. 11892 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. 11893 From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters. 11894 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. 11895 Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him. 11896 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. 11897 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. 11898 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, 11899 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good? 11900 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is. 11901 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. 11902 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. 11903 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: 11904 He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. 11905 Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. 11906 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name. 11907 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen. 11908 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. 11909 Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway. 11910 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, 11911 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; 11912 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; 11913 And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this place; 11914 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: 11915 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did. 11916 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; 11917 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. 11918 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: 11919 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven: 11920 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. 11921 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, 11922 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. 11923 And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full. 11924 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; 11925 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. 11926 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. 11927 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. 11928 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates: 11929 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. 11930 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; 11931 Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves. 11932 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. 11933 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. 11934 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; 11935 A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: 11936 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. 11937 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. 11938 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? 11939 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. 11940 And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day. 11941 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. 11942 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: 11943 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. 11944 Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God. 11945 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: 11946 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: 11947 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. 11948 Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes. 11949 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you. 11950 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; 11951 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: 11952 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. 11953 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest: 11954 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. 11955 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. 11956 Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water. 11957 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: 11958 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. 11959 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth. 11960 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. 11961 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. 11962 Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike. 11963 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. 11964 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water. 11965 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. 11966 Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose: 11967 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. 11968 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. 11969 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; 11970 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. 11971 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. 11972 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. 11973 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, 11974 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; 11975 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. 11976 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. 11977 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. 11978 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; 11979 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; 11980 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: 11981 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. 11982 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. 11983 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you. 11984 If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying, 11985 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; 11986 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; 11987 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. 11988 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. 11989 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; 11990 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. 11991 Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead. 11992 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. 11993 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing. 11994 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, 11995 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois. 11996 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. 11997 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. 11998 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. 11999 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat: 12000 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you. 12001 Of all clean birds ye shall eat. 12002 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, 12003 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind, 12004 And every raven after his kind, 12005 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, 12006 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan, 12007 And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant, 12008 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. 12009 And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten. 12010 But of all clean fowls ye may eat. 12011 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. 12012 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. 12013 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. 12014 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: 12015 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: 12016 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, 12017 And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee. 12018 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: 12019 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. 12020 At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release. 12021 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. 12022 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release; 12023 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: 12024 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. 12025 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. 12026 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: 12027 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth. 12028 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. 12029 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. 12030 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. 12031 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. 12032 And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty: 12033 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. 12034 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. 12035 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; 12036 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. 12037 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. 12038 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. 12039 Thou shalt eat it before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household. 12040 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. 12041 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart. 12042 Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water. 12043 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. 12044 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. 12045 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. 12046 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. 12047 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee: 12048 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. 12049 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. 12050 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. 12051 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. 12052 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: 12053 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. 12054 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes. 12055 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine: 12056 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. 12057 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. 12058 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: 12059 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee. 12060 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. 12061 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. 12062 That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 12063 Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee. 12064 Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the LORD thy God hateth. 12065 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. 12066 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, 12067 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; 12068 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: 12069 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. 12070 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. 12071 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. 12072 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; 12073 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: 12074 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: 12075 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. 12076 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. 12077 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously. 12078 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; 12079 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. 12080 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. 12081 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold. 12082 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: 12083 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: 12084 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. 12085 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. 12086 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them. 12087 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. 12088 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. 12089 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. 12090 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; 12091 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. 12092 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony. 12093 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. 12094 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. 12095 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12096 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. 12097 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. 12098 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. 12099 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; 12100 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. 12101 And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. 12102 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. 12103 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. 12104 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. 12105 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? 12106 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. 12107 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; 12108 Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it. 12109 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. 12110 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; 12111 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: 12112 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. 12113 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee. 12114 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; 12115 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: 12116 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. 12117 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: 12118 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. 12119 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. 12120 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. 12121 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. 12122 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong; 12123 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; 12124 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother; 12125 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. 12126 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you. 12127 And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. 12128 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. 12129 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people, 12130 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; 12131 For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. 12132 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. 12133 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. 12134 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. 12135 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. 12136 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. 12137 When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it. 12138 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. 12139 And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it: 12140 And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: 12141 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. 12142 Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations. 12143 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: 12144 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: 12145 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. 12146 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: 12147 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. 12148 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: 12149 Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain: 12150 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; 12151 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: 12152 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: 12153 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: 12154 And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it. 12155 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. 12156 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. 12157 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, 12158 And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife; 12159 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails; 12160 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. 12161 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. 12162 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: 12163 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: 12164 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. 12165 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: 12166 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; 12167 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. 12168 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. 12169 And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: 12170 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. 12171 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother. 12172 And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again. 12173 In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself. 12174 Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again. 12175 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God. 12176 If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young: 12177 But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days. 12178 When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence. 12179 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled. 12180 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together. 12181 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together. 12182 Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself. 12183 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her, 12184 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: 12185 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: 12186 And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her; 12187 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. 12188 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him; 12189 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. 12190 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: 12191 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. 12192 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel. 12193 If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; 12194 Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you. 12195 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die. 12196 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter: 12197 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her. 12198 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; 12199 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days. 12200 A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt. 12201 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD. 12202 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD. 12203 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever: 12204 Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee. 12205 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee. 12206 Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever. 12207 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land. 12208 The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation. 12209 When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing. 12210 If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp: 12211 But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again. 12212 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad: 12213 And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee: 12214 For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee. 12215 Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee: 12216 He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him. 12217 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel. 12218 Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto the LORD thy God. 12219 Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury: 12220 Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it. 12221 When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee. 12222 But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee. 12223 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth. 12224 When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel. 12225 When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn. 12226 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. 12227 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife. 12228 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife; 12229 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. 12230 When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken. 12231 No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh a man's life to pledge. 12232 If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you. 12233 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do. 12234 Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt. 12235 When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge. 12236 Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee. 12237 And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge: 12238 In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy God. 12239 Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates: 12240 At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee. 12241 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. 12242 Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge: 12243 But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing. 12244 When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands. 12245 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 12246 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 12247 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing. 12248 If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked. 12249 And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number. 12250 Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee. 12251 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. 12252 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her. 12253 And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel. 12254 And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother. 12255 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand to it, and say, I like not to take her; 12256 Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house. 12257 And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed. 12258 When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: 12259 Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her. 12260 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small. 12261 Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small. 12262 But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 12263 For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD thy God. 12264 Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt; 12265 How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God. 12266 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it. 12267 And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein; 12268 That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there. 12269 And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the country which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to give us. 12270 And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God. 12271 And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous: 12272 And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage: 12273 And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression: 12274 And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders: 12275 And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey. 12276 And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God: 12277 And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is among you. 12278 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled; 12279 Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them. 12280 I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me. 12281 Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey. 12282 This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. 12283 Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice: 12284 And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments; 12285 And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken. 12286 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day. 12287 And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister: 12288 And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee. 12289 Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister. 12290 And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them. 12291 Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God: 12292 And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before the LORD thy God. 12293 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly. 12294 And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God. 12295 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day. 12296 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying, 12297 These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin: 12298 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. 12299 And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice, 12300 Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen. 12301 Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. 12302 Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen. 12303 Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen. 12304 Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen. 12305 Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen. 12306 Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen. 12307 Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. 12308 Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen. 12309 Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the people shall say, Amen. 12310 Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen. 12311 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen. 12312 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 12313 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. 12314 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. 12315 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 12316 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. 12317 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 12318 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. 12319 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 12320 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. 12321 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee. 12322 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 12323 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. 12324 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: 12325 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them. 12326 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: 12327 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. 12328 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. 12329 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 12330 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 12331 The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me. 12332 The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. 12333 The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish. 12334 And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron. 12335 The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed. 12336 The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. 12337 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away. 12338 The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. 12339 The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart: 12340 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. 12341 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. 12342 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. 12343 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand. 12344 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway: 12345 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 12346 The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. 12347 The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. 12348 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee. 12349 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it. 12350 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them. 12351 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit. 12352 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity. 12353 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume. 12354 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. 12355 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. 12356 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: 12357 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever. 12358 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; 12359 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee. 12360 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; 12361 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young: 12362 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee. 12363 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee. 12364 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee: 12365 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave: 12366 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. 12367 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, 12368 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates. 12369 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; 12370 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. 12371 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. 12372 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. 12373 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God. 12374 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. 12375 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. 12376 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: 12377 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: 12378 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 12379 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you. 12380 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. 12381 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; 12382 The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles: 12383 Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day. 12384 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. 12385 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God. 12386 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: 12387 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. 12388 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do. 12389 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, 12390 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: 12391 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: 12392 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. 12393 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath; 12394 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: 12395 (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by; 12396 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:) 12397 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; 12398 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: 12399 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. 12400 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: 12401 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; 12402 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: 12403 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger? 12404 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: 12405 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them: 12406 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book: 12407 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. 12408 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. 12409 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, 12410 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; 12411 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. 12412 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: 12413 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. 12414 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. 12415 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. 12416 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. 12417 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: 12418 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. 12419 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. 12420 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? 12421 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? 12422 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. 12423 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; 12424 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. 12425 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; 12426 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. 12427 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: 12428 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. 12429 And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel. 12430 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. 12431 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. 12432 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. 12433 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. 12434 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. 12435 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. 12436 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. 12437 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. 12438 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, 12439 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. 12440 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: 12441 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. 12442 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. 12443 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. 12444 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. 12445 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? 12446 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. 12447 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. 12448 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. 12449 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. 12450 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel. 12451 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. 12452 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, 12453 That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying, 12454 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. 12455 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? 12456 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. 12457 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. 12458 And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended. 12459 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. 12460 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: 12461 Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. 12462 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. 12463 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation. 12464 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? 12465 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. 12466 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. 12467 For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. 12468 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. 12469 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12470 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 12471 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; 12472 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. 12473 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. 12474 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. 12475 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. 12476 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. 12477 And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters. 12478 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. 12479 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. 12480 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. 12481 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them. 12482 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. 12483 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs. 12484 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men: 12485 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. 12486 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them. 12487 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end! 12488 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? 12489 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges. 12490 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: 12491 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. 12492 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures? 12493 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. 12494 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. 12495 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted, 12496 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. 12497 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. 12498 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever. 12499 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. 12500 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. 12501 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. 12502 And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun. 12503 And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel: 12504 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. 12505 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. 12506 And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying, 12507 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: 12508 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: 12509 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. 12510 Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel. 12511 And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. 12512 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. 12513 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. 12514 Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob. 12515 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together. 12516 Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few. 12517 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. 12518 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; 12519 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. 12520 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar. 12521 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. 12522 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. 12523 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, 12524 And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon, 12525 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills, 12526 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. 12527 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. 12528 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents. 12529 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. 12530 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. 12531 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. 12532 And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan. 12533 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. 12534 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. 12535 Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be. 12536 There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky. 12537 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. 12538 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. 12539 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. 12540 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, 12541 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea, 12542 And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar. 12543 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. 12544 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. 12545 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. 12546 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. 12547 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. 12548 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. 12549 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, 12550 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, 12551 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel. 12552 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, 12553 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. 12554 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. 12555 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. 12556 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. 12557 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. 12558 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 withersoever thou goest. 12559 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. 12560 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. 12561 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, 12562 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. 12563 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying, 12564 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. 12565 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; 12566 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. 12567 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go. 12568 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. 12569 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. 12570 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. 12571 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. 12572 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. 12573 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: 12574 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. 12575 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. 12576 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. 12577 And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof; 12578 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. 12579 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. 12580 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. 12581 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: 12582 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. 12583 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. 12584 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. 12585 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. 12586 And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear. 12587 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. 12588 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. 12589 And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear. 12590 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. 12591 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. 12592 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: 12593 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. 12594 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. 12595 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host; 12596 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. 12597 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. 12598 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you. 12599 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. 12600 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. 12601 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. 12602 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God. 12603 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. 12604 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan. 12605 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man. 12606 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. 12607 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; 12608 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,) 12609 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. 12610 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. 12611 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying, 12612 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man, 12613 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. 12614 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man: 12615 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: 12616 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? 12617 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. 12618 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. 12619 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. 12620 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. 12621 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. 12622 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: 12623 About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho. 12624 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. 12625 And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying, 12626 Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan. 12627 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan. 12628 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. 12629 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. 12630 And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal. 12631 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? 12632 Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land. 12633 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: 12634 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. 12635 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. 12636 At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time. 12637 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins. 12638 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. 12639 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. 12640 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. 12641 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. 12642 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. 12643 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. 12644 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. 12645 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. 12646 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. 12647 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? 12648 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? 12649 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. 12650 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. 12651 And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour. 12652 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. 12653 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. 12654 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. 12655 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. 12656 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. 12657 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. 12658 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. 12659 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. 12660 So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp. 12661 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD. 12662 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. 12663 And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days. 12664 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. 12665 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. 12666 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. 12667 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. 12668 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. 12669 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. 12670 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. 12671 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. 12672 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. 12673 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. 12674 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. 12675 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. 12676 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country. 12677 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. 12678 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai. 12679 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. 12680 So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai. 12681 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. 12682 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. 12683 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! 12684 O LORD, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies! 12685 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? 12686 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? 12687 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. 12688 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. 12689 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. 12690 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. 12691 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. 12692 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken: 12693 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: 12694 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. 12695 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. 12696 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done: 12697 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. 12698 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it. 12699 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. 12700 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. 12701 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. 12702 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. 12703 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: 12704 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. 12705 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. 12706 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: 12707 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, 12708 (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. 12709 Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand. 12710 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. 12711 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. 12712 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. 12713 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. 12714 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. 12715 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. 12716 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. 12717 And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness. 12718 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. 12719 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. 12720 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. 12721 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. 12722 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. 12723 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. 12724 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. 12725 And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua. 12726 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. 12727 And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai. 12728 For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. 12729 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. 12730 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day. 12731 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. 12732 Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in mount Ebal, 12733 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. 12734 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. 12735 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. 12736 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. 12737 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. 12738 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; 12739 That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord. 12740 And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai, 12741 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; 12742 And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy. 12743 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. 12744 And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you? 12745 And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye? 12746 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, 12747 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. 12748 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. 12749 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: 12750 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. 12751 And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD. 12752 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. 12753 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. 12754 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. 12755 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. 12756 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. 12757 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. 12758 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. 12759 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? 12760 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. 12761 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. 12762 And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do. 12763 And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not. 12764 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. 12765 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; 12766 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. 12767 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, 12768 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. 12769 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. 12770 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. 12771 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour. 12772 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. 12773 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night. 12774 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. 12775 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. 12776 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. 12777 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. 12778 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. 12779 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal. 12780 But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah. 12781 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah. 12782 And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them: 12783 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. 12784 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. 12785 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. 12786 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave. 12787 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. 12788 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. 12789 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. 12790 And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening. 12791 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. 12792 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. 12793 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah: 12794 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. 12795 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it: 12796 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. 12797 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining. 12798 And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it: 12799 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. 12800 And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it: 12801 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. 12802 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it: 12803 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. 12804 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. 12805 And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon. 12806 And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel. 12807 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal. 12808 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, 12809 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, 12810 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. 12811 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. 12812 And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel. 12813 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. 12814 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them. 12815 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. 12816 And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire. 12817 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. 12818 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. 12819 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. 12820 But as for the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn. 12821 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. 12822 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. 12823 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; 12824 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. 12825 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings. 12826 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. 12827 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. 12828 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. 12829 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. 12830 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. 12831 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: 12832 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; 12833 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: 12834 And the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei, 12835 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. 12836 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. 12837 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; 12838 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: 12839 The king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one; 12840 The king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one; 12841 The king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one; 12842 The king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one; 12843 The king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one; 12844 The king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one; 12845 The king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one; 12846 The king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one; 12847 The king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one; 12848 The king of Aphek, one; the king of Lasharon, one; 12849 The king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one; 12850 The king of Shimronmeron, one; the king of Achshaph, one; 12851 The king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one; 12852 The king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam of Carmel, one; 12853 The king of Dor in the coast of Dor, one; the king of the nations of Gilgal, one; 12854 The king of Tirzah, one: all the kings thirty and one. 12855 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. 12856 This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri, 12857 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: 12858 From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside the Sidonians unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites: 12859 And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath. 12860 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. 12861 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh, 12862 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; 12863 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; 12864 And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon; 12865 And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah; 12866 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. 12867 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. 12868 Only unto the tribes 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. 12869 And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance according to their families. 12870 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; 12871 Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon, 12872 And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, 12873 And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the mount of the valley, 12874 And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth, 12875 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. 12876 Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them. 12877 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. 12878 And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, even unto the children of Gad according to their families. 12879 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; 12880 And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir; 12881 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. 12882 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families, the cities, and their villages. 12883 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. 12884 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: 12885 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. 12886 These are the countries which Moses did distribute for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan, by Jericho, eastward. 12887 But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the LORD God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said unto them. 12888 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. 12889 By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe. 12890 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. 12891 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. 12892 As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land. 12893 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. 12894 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. 12895 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God. 12896 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. 12897 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. 12898 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. 12899 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. 12900 And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance. 12901 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. 12902 And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba; which Arba was a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war. 12903 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. 12904 And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward: 12905 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: 12906 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. 12907 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: 12908 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: 12909 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: 12910 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: 12911 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: 12912 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: 12913 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. 12914 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. 12915 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. 12916 And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. 12917 And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher. 12918 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife. 12919 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. 12920 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? 12921 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. 12922 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families. 12923 And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah toward the coast of Edom southward were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur, 12924 And Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah, 12925 And Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan, 12926 Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth, 12927 And Hazor, Hadattah, and Kerioth, and Hezron, which is Hazor, 12928 Amam, and Shema, and Moladah, 12929 And Hazargaddah, and Heshmon, and Bethpalet, 12930 And Hazarshual, and Beersheba, and Bizjothjah, 12931 Baalah, and Iim, and Azem, 12932 And Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah, 12933 And Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah, 12934 And Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon: all the cities are twenty and nine, with their villages: 12935 And in the valley, Eshtaol, and Zoreah, and Ashnah, 12936 And Zanoah, and Engannim, Tappuah, and Enam, 12937 Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah, 12938 And Sharaim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim; fourteen cities with their villages: 12939 Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdalgad, 12940 And Dilean, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel, 12941 Lachish, and Bozkath, and Eglon, 12942 And Cabbon, and Lahmam, and Kithlish, 12943 And Gederoth, Bethdagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen cities with their villages: 12944 Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan, 12945 And Jiphtah, and Ashnah, and Nezib, 12946 And Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their villages: 12947 Ekron, with her towns and her villages: 12948 From Ekron even unto the sea, all that lay near Ashdod, with their villages: 12949 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: 12950 And in the mountains, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh, 12951 And Dannah, and Kirjathsannah, which is Debir, 12952 And Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim, 12953 And Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with their villages: 12954 Arab, and Dumah, and Eshean, 12955 And Janum, and Bethtappuah, and Aphekah, 12956 And Humtah, and Kirjatharba, which is Hebron, and Zior; nine cities with their villages: 12957 Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Juttah, 12958 And Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah, 12959 Cain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages: 12960 Halhul, Bethzur, and Gedor, 12961 And Maarath, and Bethanoth, and Eltekon; six cities with their villages: 12962 Kirjathbaal, which is Kirjathjearim, and Rabbah; two cities with their villages: 12963 In the wilderness, Betharabah, Middin, and Secacah, 12964 And Nibshan, and the city of Salt, and Engedi; six cities with their villages. 12965 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. 12966 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, 12967 And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth, 12968 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. 12969 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance. 12970 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; 12971 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; 12972 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan. 12973 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. 12974 And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages. 12975 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. 12976 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. 12977 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. 12978 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. 12979 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. 12980 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan; 12981 Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead. 12982 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. 12983 Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim; 12984 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: 12985 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. 12986 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. 12987 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. 12988 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. 12989 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? 12990 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. 12991 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. 12992 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: 12993 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. 12994 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. 12995 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance. 12996 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? 12997 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. 12998 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. 12999 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. 13000 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. 13001 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. 13002 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. 13003 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. 13004 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. 13005 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. 13006 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. 13007 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. 13008 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: 13009 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, 13010 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, 13011 And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and went down unto Arabah: 13012 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. 13013 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. 13014 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz, 13015 And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel, 13016 And Avim, and Pharah, and Ophrah, 13017 And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages: 13018 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth, 13019 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah, 13020 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah, 13021 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. 13022 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. 13023 And they had in their inheritance Beersheba, and Sheba, and Moladah, 13024 And Hazarshual, and Balah, and Azem, 13025 And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah, 13026 And Ziklag, and Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusah, 13027 And Bethlebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities and their villages: 13028 Ain, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their villages: 13029 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. 13030 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. 13031 And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid: 13032 And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that is before Jokneam; 13033 And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chislothtabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia, 13034 And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittahhepher, to Ittahkazin, and goeth out to Remmonmethoar to Neah; 13035 And the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon: and the outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiphthahel: 13036 And Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages. 13037 This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages. 13038 And the fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of Issachar according to their families. 13039 And their border was toward Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem, 13040 And Haphraim, and Shihon, and Anaharath, 13041 And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez, 13042 And Remeth, and Engannim, and Enhaddah, and Bethpazzez; 13043 And the coast reacheth to Tabor, and Shahazimah, and Bethshemesh; and the outgoings of their border were at Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages. 13044 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities and their villages. 13045 And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families. 13046 And their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph, 13047 And Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and reacheth to Carmel westward, and to Shihorlibnath; 13048 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, 13049 And Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even unto great Zidon; 13050 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: 13051 Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty and two cities with their villages. 13052 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages. 13053 The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, even for the children of Naphtali according to their families. 13054 And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan: 13055 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. 13056 And the fenced cities are Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth, 13057 And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor, 13058 And Kedesh, and Edrei, and Enhazor, 13059 And Iron, and Migdalel, Horem, and Bethanath, and Bethshemesh; nineteen cities with their villages. 13060 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities and their villages. 13061 And the seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families. 13062 And the coast of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Irshemesh, 13063 And Shaalabbin, and Ajalon, and Jethlah, 13064 And Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron, 13065 And Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath, 13066 And Jehud, and Beneberak, and Gathrimmon, 13067 And Mejarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before Japho. 13068 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. 13069 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages. 13070 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: 13071 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. 13072 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. 13073 The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying, 13074 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses: 13075 That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood. 13076 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. 13077 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. 13078 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. 13079 And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjatharba, which is Hebron, in the mountain of Judah. 13080 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. 13081 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. 13082 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; 13083 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. 13084 And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and their suburbs. 13085 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. 13086 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. 13087 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. 13088 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. 13089 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. 13090 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. 13091 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. 13092 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. 13093 But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession. 13094 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, 13095 And Jattir with her suburbs, and Eshtemoa with her suburbs, 13096 And Holon with her suburbs, and Debir with her suburbs, 13097 And Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs, and Bethshemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes. 13098 And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with her suburbs, Geba with her suburbs, 13099 Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with her suburbs; four cities. 13100 All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their suburbs. 13101 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. 13102 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, 13103 And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and Bethhoron with her suburbs; four cities. 13104 And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with her suburbs, Gibbethon with her suburbs, 13105 Aijalon with her suburbs, Gathrimmon with her suburbs; four cities. 13106 And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with her suburbs, and Gathrimmon with her suburbs; two cities. 13107 All the cities were ten with their suburbs for the families of the children of Kohath that remained. 13108 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. 13109 And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with her suburbs, Dabareh with her suburbs, 13110 Jarmuth with her suburbs, Engannim with her suburbs; four cities. 13111 And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with her suburbs, Abdon with her suburbs, 13112 Helkath with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs; four cities. 13113 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. 13114 All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities with their suburbs. 13115 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, 13116 Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal with her suburbs; four cities. 13117 And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with her suburbs, and Jahazah with her suburbs, 13118 Kedemoth with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs; four cities. 13119 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, 13120 Heshbon with her suburbs, Jazer with her suburbs; four cities in all. 13121 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. 13122 All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel were forty and eight cities with their suburbs. 13123 These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus were all these cities. 13124 And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein. 13125 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. 13126 There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass. 13127 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, 13128 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: 13129 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. 13130 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. 13131 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. 13132 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents. 13133 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, 13134 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. 13135 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. 13136 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. 13137 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. 13138 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. 13139 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, 13140 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. 13141 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, 13142 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? 13143 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, 13144 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. 13145 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. 13146 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. 13147 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, 13148 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,) 13149 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; 13150 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? 13151 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. 13152 Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice: 13153 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. 13154 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. 13155 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. 13156 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. 13157 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. 13158 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. 13159 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. 13160 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. 13161 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. 13162 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: 13163 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. 13164 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. 13165 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. 13166 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; 13167 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: 13168 But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day. 13169 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. 13170 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. 13171 Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God. 13172 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: 13173 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. 13174 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. 13175 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. 13176 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. 13177 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. 13178 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. 13179 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. 13180 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. 13181 I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out. 13182 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. 13183 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. 13184 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. 13185 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: 13186 But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand. 13187 And you 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. 13188 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. 13189 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. 13190 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. 13191 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. 13192 And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods; 13193 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: 13194 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. 13195 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. 13196 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. 13197 And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD. 13198 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. 13199 Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel. 13200 And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey. 13201 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem. 13202 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. 13203 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. 13204 So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance. 13205 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. 13206 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. 13207 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. 13208 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. 13209 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. 13210 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? 13211 And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand. 13212 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. 13213 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. 13214 And they found Adonibezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites. 13215 But Adonibezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes. 13216 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. 13217 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. 13218 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. 13219 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. 13220 And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher: 13221 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife. 13222 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. 13223 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? 13224 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. 13225 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. 13226 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. 13227 Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof. 13228 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. 13229 And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak. 13230 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. 13231 And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel: and the LORD was with them. 13232 And the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.) 13233 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. 13234 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. 13235 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. 13236 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. 13237 And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out. 13238 Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them. 13239 Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries. 13240 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: 13241 But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out. 13242 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. 13243 And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley: 13244 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. 13245 And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward. 13246 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. 13247 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? 13248 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. 13249 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. 13250 And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD. 13251 And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land. 13252 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. 13253 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old. 13254 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. 13255 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. 13256 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim: 13257 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. 13258 And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth. 13259 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. 13260 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. 13261 Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them. 13262 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. 13263 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. 13264 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. 13265 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; 13266 I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died: 13267 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. 13268 Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua. 13269 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; 13270 Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof; 13271 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. 13272 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. 13273 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites: 13274 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods. 13275 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. 13276 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. 13277 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. 13278 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. 13279 And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died. 13280 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. 13281 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees. 13282 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years. 13283 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. 13284 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. 13285 And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man. 13286 And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present. 13287 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. 13288 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. 13289 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly: 13290 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. 13291 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them. 13292 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. 13293 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. 13294 And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath. 13295 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. 13296 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. 13297 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. 13298 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years. 13299 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. 13300 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud was dead. 13301 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. 13302 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. 13303 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time. 13304 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. 13305 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? 13306 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. 13307 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. 13308 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. 13309 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. 13310 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. 13311 And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor. 13312 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. 13313 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. 13314 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. 13315 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. 13316 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. 13317 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. 13318 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. 13319 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. 13320 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. 13321 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. 13322 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel. 13323 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. 13324 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying, 13325 Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves. 13326 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. 13327 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. 13328 The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel. 13329 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways. 13330 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel. 13331 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel? 13332 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD. 13333 Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way. 13334 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. 13335 Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam. 13336 Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty. 13337 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. 13338 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. 13339 Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart. 13340 Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches. 13341 Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field. 13342 The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money. 13343 They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera. 13344 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength. 13345 Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones. 13346 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. 13347 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent. 13348 He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish. 13349 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. 13350 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. 13351 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? 13352 Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself, 13353 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? 13354 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. 13355 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. 13356 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. 13357 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; 13358 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. 13359 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. 13360 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD. 13361 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the Midianites, 13362 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; 13363 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; 13364 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. 13365 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. 13366 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour. 13367 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. 13368 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? 13369 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. 13370 And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man. 13371 And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me. 13372 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. 13373 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. 13374 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. 13375 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. 13376 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. 13377 And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die. 13378 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovahshalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. 13379 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: 13380 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. 13381 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. 13382 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. 13383 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. 13384 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. 13385 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. 13386 Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar. 13387 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. 13388 But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him. 13389 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. 13390 And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said, 13391 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. 13392 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. 13393 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. 13394 And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground. 13395 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. 13396 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. 13397 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. 13398 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. 13399 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. 13400 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. 13401 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. 13402 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. 13403 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. 13404 But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host: 13405 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. 13406 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. 13407 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. 13408 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. 13409 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. 13410 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. 13411 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. 13412 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. 13413 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. 13414 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. 13415 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. 13416 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. 13417 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. 13418 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. 13419 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. 13420 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. 13421 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? 13422 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. 13423 And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. 13424 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. 13425 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? 13426 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. 13427 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. 13428 And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower. 13429 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. 13430 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. 13431 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. 13432 And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up, 13433 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. 13434 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? 13435 And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth. 13436 And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city. 13437 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. 13438 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. 13439 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. 13440 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. 13441 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. 13442 And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you. 13443 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.) 13444 And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey. 13445 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. 13446 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. 13447 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. 13448 And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house. 13449 And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives. 13450 And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech. 13451 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. 13452 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. 13453 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: 13454 Neither shewed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shewed unto Israel. 13455 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, 13456 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. 13457 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. 13458 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. 13459 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. 13460 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. 13461 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. 13462 The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us. 13463 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? 13464 And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us. 13465 But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees? 13466 Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us. 13467 And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees? 13468 Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us. 13469 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. 13470 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; 13471 (For my father fought for you, and adventured his life far, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian: 13472 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;) 13473 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: 13474 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. 13475 And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother. 13476 When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel, 13477 Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech: 13478 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. 13479 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. 13480 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. 13481 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. 13482 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? 13483 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. 13484 And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled. 13485 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. 13486 Now therefore up by night, thou and the people that is with thee, and lie in wait in the field: 13487 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. 13488 And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies. 13489 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. 13490 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. 13491 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. 13492 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. 13493 And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech. 13494 And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many were overthrown and wounded, even unto the entering of the gate. 13495 And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem. 13496 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech. 13497 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. 13498 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. 13499 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. 13500 And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith. 13501 And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together. 13502 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. 13503 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. 13504 Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it. 13505 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. 13506 And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire. 13507 And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech's head, and all to brake his skull. 13508 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 women slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died. 13509 And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his place. 13510 Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren: 13511 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. 13512 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. 13513 And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir. 13514 And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years. 13515 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. 13516 And Jair died, and was buried in Camon. 13517 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. 13518 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. 13519 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. 13520 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. 13521 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. 13522 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? 13523 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. 13524 Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more. 13525 Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation. 13526 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. 13527 And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel. 13528 Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh. 13529 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. 13530 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah. 13531 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. 13532 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. 13533 And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel. 13534 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: 13535 And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon. 13536 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? 13537 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. 13538 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? 13539 And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words. 13540 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. 13541 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? 13542 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. 13543 And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon: 13544 And said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon: 13545 But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness unto the Red sea, and came to Kadesh; 13546 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. 13547 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. 13548 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. 13549 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. 13550 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. 13551 And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan. 13552 So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it? 13553 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. 13554 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, 13555 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? 13556 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. 13557 Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him. 13558 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. 13559 And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, 13560 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. 13561 So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands. 13562 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. 13563 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. 13564 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. 13565 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. 13566 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. 13567 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. 13568 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, 13569 That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year. 13570 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. 13571 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. 13572 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? 13573 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. 13574 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; 13575 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. 13576 And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead. 13577 And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel. 13578 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. 13579 Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem. 13580 And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years. 13581 And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun. 13582 And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel. 13583 And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years. 13584 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. 13585 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. 13586 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. 13587 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. 13588 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing: 13589 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. 13590 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: 13591 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. 13592 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. 13593 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. 13594 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. 13595 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. 13596 And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him? 13597 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware. 13598 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. 13599 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. 13600 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. 13601 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? 13602 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret? 13603 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. 13604 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. 13605 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. 13606 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God. 13607 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. 13608 And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him. 13609 And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol. 13610 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines. 13611 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. 13612 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. 13613 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. 13614 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. 13615 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. 13616 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well. 13617 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. 13618 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. 13619 So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do. 13620 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him. 13621 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: 13622 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. 13623 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. 13624 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? 13625 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? 13626 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. 13627 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. 13628 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. 13629 But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend. 13630 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. 13631 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. 13632 And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure. 13633 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. 13634 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. 13635 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. 13636 And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease. 13637 And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam. 13638 Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi. 13639 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. 13640 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. 13641 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. 13642 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. 13643 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. 13644 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith. 13645 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men. 13646 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. 13647 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? 13648 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. 13649 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years. 13650 Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her. 13651 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. 13652 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. 13653 And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. 13654 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. 13655 And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee. 13656 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. 13657 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them. 13658 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. 13659 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. 13660 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. 13661 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. 13662 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. 13663 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. 13664 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. 13665 And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death; 13666 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. 13667 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. 13668 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. 13669 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. 13670 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. 13671 Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven. 13672 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. 13673 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. 13674 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. 13675 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. 13676 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. 13677 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. 13678 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. 13679 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. 13680 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. 13681 And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah. 13682 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. 13683 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. 13684 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. 13685 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. 13686 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes. 13687 And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there. 13688 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. 13689 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. 13690 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. 13691 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons. 13692 And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. 13693 Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest. 13694 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. 13695 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. 13696 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? 13697 And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest. 13698 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. 13699 And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD is your way wherein ye go. 13700 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. 13701 And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What say ye? 13702 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. 13703 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. 13704 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. 13705 And they went up, and pitched in Kirjathjearim, in Judah: wherefore they called that place Mahanehdan unto this day: behold, it is behind Kirjathjearim. 13706 And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah. 13707 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. 13708 And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and saluted him. 13709 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. 13710 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. 13711 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? 13712 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? 13713 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. 13714 So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the carriage before them. 13715 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. 13716 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? 13717 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? 13718 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. 13719 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. 13720 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. 13721 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. 13722 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. 13723 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. 13724 And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh. 13725 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. 13726 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. 13727 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. 13728 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. 13729 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. 13730 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. 13731 And when the man rose up to depart, his father in law urged him: therefore he lodged there again. 13732 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. 13733 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. 13734 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. 13735 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. 13736 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. 13737 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. 13738 And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin. 13739 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. 13740 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. 13741 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? 13742 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. 13743 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. 13744 And the old man said, Peace be with thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street. 13745 So he brought him into his house, and gave provender unto the asses: and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink. 13746 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. 13747 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. 13748 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. 13749 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. 13750 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. 13751 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. 13752 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. 13753 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. 13754 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. 13755 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. 13756 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. 13757 (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? 13758 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. 13759 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. 13760 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. 13761 Behold, ye are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel. 13762 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. 13763 But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up by lot against it; 13764 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. 13765 So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man. 13766 And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is done among you? 13767 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. 13768 But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel. 13769 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. 13770 Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss. 13771 And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war. 13772 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. 13773 And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah. 13774 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. 13775 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. 13776 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. 13777 (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.) 13778 And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day. 13779 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. 13780 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. 13781 And the children of Israel enquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days, 13782 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. 13783 And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah. 13784 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. 13785 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. 13786 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. 13787 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. 13788 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. 13789 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. 13790 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. 13791 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. 13792 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. 13793 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. 13794 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. 13795 And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them. 13796 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. 13797 Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising. 13798 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valour. 13799 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. 13800 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. 13801 But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months. 13802 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. 13803 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife. 13804 And the people came to the house of God, and abode there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore; 13805 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? 13806 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. 13807 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. 13808 And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day. 13809 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? 13810 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. 13811 For the people were numbered, and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there. 13812 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. 13813 And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man. 13814 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. 13815 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. 13816 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. 13817 And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel. 13818 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? 13819 And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel. 13820 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. 13821 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. 13822 Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards; 13823 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. 13824 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. 13825 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. 13826 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. 13827 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. 13828 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. 13829 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. 13830 And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons. 13831 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. 13832 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband. 13833 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. 13834 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. 13835 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. 13836 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. 13837 And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people. 13838 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? 13839 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; 13840 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. 13841 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her. 13842 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. 13843 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: 13844 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. 13845 When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her. 13846 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? 13847 And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. 13848 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? 13849 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. 13850 And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz. 13851 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. 13852 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. 13853 And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee. 13854 Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this? 13855 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: 13856 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. 13857 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: 13858 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. 13859 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? 13860 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. 13861 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. 13862 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. 13863 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. 13864 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: 13865 And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not. 13866 So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley. 13867 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. 13868 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. 13869 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. 13870 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. 13871 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. 13872 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. 13873 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? 13874 And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor. 13875 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. 13876 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. 13877 And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do. 13878 And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her. 13879 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. 13880 And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet. 13881 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. 13882 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. 13883 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. 13884 And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I. 13885 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. 13886 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. 13887 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. 13888 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. 13889 And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law. 13890 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. 13891 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. 13892 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down. 13893 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: 13894 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. 13895 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. 13896 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. 13897 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. 13898 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe. 13899 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. 13900 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. 13901 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: 13902 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. 13903 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. 13904 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. 13905 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. 13906 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it. 13907 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. 13908 Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron, 13909 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab, 13910 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon, 13911 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, 13912 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David. 13913 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: 13914 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. 13915 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. 13916 And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions: 13917 But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb. 13918 And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb. 13919 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. 13920 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? 13921 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. 13922 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore. 13923 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. 13924 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth. 13925 Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken. 13926 And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee. 13927 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. 13928 Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto. 13929 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him. 13930 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. 13931 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. 13932 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. 13933 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow. 13934 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. 13935 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. 13936 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. 13937 And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli. 13938 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. 13939 For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him: 13940 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. 13941 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. 13942 There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. 13943 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. 13944 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength. 13945 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. 13946 The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. 13947 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. 13948 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. 13949 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. 13950 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. 13951 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest. 13952 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD. 13953 And the priest's custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand; 13954 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. 13955 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. 13956 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. 13957 Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD. 13958 But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod. 13959 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. 13960 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. 13961 And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD. 13962 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. 13963 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people. 13964 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD's people to transgress. 13965 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. 13966 And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men. 13967 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? 13968 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? 13969 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? 13970 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. 13971 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. 13972 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. 13973 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. 13974 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. 13975 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. 13976 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. 13977 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. 13978 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; 13979 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; 13980 That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I. 13981 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. 13982 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. 13983 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him. 13984 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. 13985 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. 13986 And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth. 13987 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. 13988 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. 13989 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. 13990 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. 13991 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision. 13992 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I. 13993 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. 13994 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. 13995 And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. 13996 And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD. 13997 And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD. 13998 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. 13999 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. 14000 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. 14001 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. 14002 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. 14003 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. 14004 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. 14005 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. 14006 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. 14007 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. 14008 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain. 14009 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. 14010 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. 14011 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. 14012 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see. 14013 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? 14014 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. 14015 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. 14016 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. 14017 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. 14018 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. 14019 And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken. 14020 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer unto Ashdod. 14021 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. 14022 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. 14023 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. 14024 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. 14025 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. 14026 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. 14027 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. 14028 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. 14029 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. 14030 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. 14031 And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven. 14032 And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months. 14033 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. 14034 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. 14035 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. 14036 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. 14037 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? 14038 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: 14039 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. 14040 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. 14041 And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home: 14042 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. 14043 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. 14044 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. 14045 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. 14046 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. 14047 And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day. 14048 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; 14049 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. 14050 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. 14051 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? 14052 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. 14053 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. 14054 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. 14055 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. 14056 Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only. 14057 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD. 14058 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. 14059 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. 14060 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. 14061 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. 14062 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. 14063 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Bethcar. 14064 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. 14065 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. 14066 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. 14067 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life. 14068 And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places. 14069 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. 14070 And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel. 14071 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba. 14072 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment. 14073 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah, 14074 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. 14075 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD. 14076 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. 14077 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. 14078 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. 14079 And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king. 14080 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. 14081 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. 14082 And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. 14083 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants. 14084 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. 14085 And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work. 14086 He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants. 14087 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. 14088 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us; 14089 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. 14090 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD. 14091 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. 14092 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. 14093 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. 14094 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. 14095 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. 14096 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. 14097 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. 14098 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? 14099 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. 14100 (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.) 14101 Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God was. 14102 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? 14103 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: 14104 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. 14105 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. 14106 Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying, 14107 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. 14108 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. 14109 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house is. 14110 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. 14111 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? 14112 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? 14113 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. 14114 And Samuel said unto the cook, Bring the portion which I gave thee, of which I said unto thee, Set it by thee. 14115 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. 14116 And when they were come down from the high place into the city, Samuel communed with Saul upon the top of the house. 14117 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. 14118 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. 14119 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? 14120 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? 14121 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: 14122 And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands. 14123 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: 14124 And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man. 14125 And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee. 14126 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. 14127 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. 14128 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. 14129 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? 14130 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? 14131 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place. 14132 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. 14133 And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you. 14134 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. 14135 And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpeh; 14136 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: 14137 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. 14138 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken. 14139 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. 14140 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. 14141 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. 14142 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. 14143 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. 14144 And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched. 14145 But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought no presents. But he held his peace. 14146 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. 14147 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. 14148 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. 14149 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. 14150 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. 14151 And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly. 14152 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. 14153 And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand. 14154 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. 14155 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. 14156 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. 14157 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. 14158 And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel. 14159 Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there. 14160 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. 14161 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. 14162 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. 14163 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. 14164 And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand. 14165 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. 14166 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. 14167 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. 14168 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. 14169 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. 14170 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. 14171 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. 14172 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. 14173 Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you. 14174 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: 14175 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. 14176 Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes. 14177 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. 14178 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. 14179 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. 14180 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; 14181 And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain. 14182 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. 14183 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: 14184 Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you. 14185 But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king. 14186 Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel, 14187 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. 14188 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. 14189 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. 14190 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. 14191 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. 14192 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. 14193 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. 14194 And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering. 14195 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. 14196 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; 14197 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. 14198 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. 14199 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. 14200 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. 14201 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. 14202 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: 14203 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. 14204 Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears: 14205 But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock. 14206 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. 14207 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. 14208 And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash. 14209 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. 14210 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; 14211 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. 14212 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. 14213 The forefront of the one was situate northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah. 14214 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. 14215 And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart. 14216 Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will discover ourselves unto them. 14217 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. 14218 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. 14219 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. 14220 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. 14221 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. 14222 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. 14223 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. 14224 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down one another. 14225 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. 14226 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. 14227 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. 14228 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. 14229 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. 14230 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. 14231 So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over unto Bethaven. 14232 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. 14233 And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground. 14234 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. 14235 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. 14236 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. 14237 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. 14238 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? 14239 And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint. 14240 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. 14241 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. 14242 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. 14243 And Saul built an altar unto the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD. 14244 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. 14245 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. 14246 And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day. 14247 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. 14248 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. 14249 Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped. 14250 And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken. 14251 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. 14252 And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan. 14253 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. 14254 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place. 14255 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. 14256 And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them. 14257 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: 14258 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. 14259 And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel. 14260 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. 14261 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. 14262 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. 14263 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. 14264 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah. 14265 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley. 14266 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. 14267 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt. 14268 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 14269 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. 14270 Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying, 14271 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. 14272 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. 14273 And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD. 14274 And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear? 14275 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. 14276 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. 14277 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? 14278 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. 14279 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? 14280 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. 14281 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. 14282 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. 14283 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. 14284 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. 14285 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD. 14286 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. 14287 And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent. 14288 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. 14289 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent. 14290 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. 14291 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD. 14292 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. 14293 And Samuel said, As the sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal. 14294 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul. 14295 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. 14296 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. 14297 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. 14298 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. 14299 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? 14300 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. 14301 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD's anointed is before him. 14302 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. 14303 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this. 14304 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this. 14305 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these. 14306 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. 14307 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. 14308 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. 14309 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. 14310 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee. 14311 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. 14312 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me. 14313 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. 14314 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep. 14315 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. 14316 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer. 14317 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight. 14318 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. 14319 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. 14320 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. 14321 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. 14322 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. 14323 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. 14324 And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders. 14325 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. 14326 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. 14327 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. 14328 And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together. 14329 When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid. 14330 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. 14331 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. 14332 And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul. 14333 But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem. 14334 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days. 14335 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 of thy brethren; 14336 And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge. 14337 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines. 14338 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. 14339 For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army. 14340 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. 14341 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. 14342 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid. 14343 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. 14344 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? 14345 And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him. 14346 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. 14347 And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause? 14348 And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner. 14349 And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him. 14350 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine. 14351 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. 14352 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: 14353 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. 14354 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. 14355 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. 14356 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. 14357 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. 14358 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. 14359 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him. 14360 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. 14361 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. 14362 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. 14363 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. 14364 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. 14365 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. 14366 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. 14367 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. 14368 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. 14369 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. 14370 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. 14371 And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents. 14372 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent. 14373 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. 14374 And the king said, Enquire thou whose son the stripling is. 14375 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. 14376 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. 14377 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. 14378 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house. 14379 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul. 14380 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. 14381 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. 14382 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. 14383 And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. 14384 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? 14385 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward. 14386 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. 14387 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. 14388 And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul. 14389 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people. 14390 And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him. 14391 Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him. 14392 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them. 14393 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. 14394 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? 14395 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. 14396 And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. 14397 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. 14398 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. 14399 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? 14400 And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David. 14401 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. 14402 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. 14403 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. 14404 And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal Saul's daughter loved him. 14405 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David's enemy continually. 14406 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. 14407 And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. 14408 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: 14409 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. 14410 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: 14411 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? 14412 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain. 14413 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. 14414 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. 14415 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. 14416 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. 14417 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. 14418 So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped. 14419 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. 14420 And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick. 14421 And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him. 14422 And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster. 14423 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? 14424 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. 14425 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah. 14426 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. 14427 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. 14428 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. 14429 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. 14430 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? 14431 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? 14432 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. 14433 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. 14434 Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee. 14435 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. 14436 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. 14437 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. 14438 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? 14439 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? 14440 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father answer thee roughly? 14441 And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field. 14442 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; 14443 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. 14444 And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not: 14445 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. 14446 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies. 14447 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul. 14448 Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty. 14449 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. 14450 And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark. 14451 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. 14452 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. 14453 And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between thee and me for ever. 14454 So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat. 14455 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. 14456 Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean. 14457 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? 14458 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem: 14459 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. 14460 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? 14461 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. 14462 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done? 14463 And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David. 14464 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. 14465 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. 14466 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. 14467 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? 14468 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master. 14469 But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter. 14470 And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city. 14471 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. 14472 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. 14473 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? 14474 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. 14475 Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present. 14476 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. 14477 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. 14478 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. 14479 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. 14480 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. 14481 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. 14482 And David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath. 14483 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? 14484 And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath. 14485 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. 14486 Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought him to me? 14487 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? 14488 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. 14489 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. 14490 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. 14491 And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold. 14492 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. 14493 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;) 14494 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; 14495 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? 14496 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. 14497 And he enquired of the LORD for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine. 14498 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. 14499 And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord. 14500 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? 14501 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? 14502 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. 14503 And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house. 14504 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. 14505 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. 14506 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. 14507 And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David. 14508 And Abiathar shewed David that Saul had slain the LORD's priests. 14509 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. 14510 Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard. 14511 Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshingfloors. 14512 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. 14513 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? 14514 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. 14515 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. 14516 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. 14517 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. 14518 And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men. 14519 And David knew that Saul secretly practised mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod. 14520 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. 14521 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. 14522 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. 14523 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. 14524 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. 14525 And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood. 14526 And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God. 14527 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. 14528 And they two made a covenant before the LORD: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house. 14529 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? 14530 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. 14531 And Saul said, Blessed be ye of the LORD; for ye have compassion on me. 14532 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. 14533 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. 14534 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. 14535 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. 14536 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. 14537 But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land. 14538 Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Selahammahlekoth. 14539 And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at Engedi. 14540 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. 14541 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. 14542 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. 14543 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. 14544 And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt. 14545 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. 14546 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. 14547 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. 14548 And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt? 14549 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. 14550 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. 14551 The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee. 14552 As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee. 14553 After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea. 14554 The LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hand. 14555 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. 14556 And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil. 14557 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. 14558 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. 14559 And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand. 14560 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. 14561 And David sware unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men gat them up unto the hold. 14562 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. 14563 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. 14564 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. 14565 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep. 14566 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: 14567 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. 14568 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. 14569 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. 14570 And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased. 14571 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. 14572 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? 14573 So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings. 14574 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. 14575 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. 14576 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: 14577 They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep. 14578 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. 14579 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. 14580 And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal. 14581 And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert on the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them. 14582 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. 14583 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. 14584 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, 14585 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. 14586 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. 14587 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. 14588 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. 14589 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. 14590 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. 14591 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; 14592 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. 14593 And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me: 14594 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. 14595 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. 14596 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. 14597 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. 14598 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. 14599 And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died. 14600 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. 14601 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. 14602 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. 14603 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. 14604 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives. 14605 But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which was of Gallim. 14606 And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon? 14607 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. 14608 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. 14609 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come in very deed. 14610 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. 14611 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. 14612 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. 14613 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. 14614 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD's anointed, and be guiltless? 14615 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. 14616 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. 14617 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. 14618 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; a great space being between them: 14619 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? 14620 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. 14621 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. 14622 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. 14623 And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand? 14624 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. 14625 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. 14626 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. 14627 And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it. 14628 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. 14629 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. 14630 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. 14631 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. 14632 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. 14633 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. 14634 And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him. 14635 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? 14636 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day. 14637 And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months. 14638 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. 14639 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. 14640 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. 14641 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. 14642 And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever. 14643 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. 14644 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. 14645 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. 14646 And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa. 14647 And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled. 14648 And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets. 14649 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. 14650 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. 14651 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? 14652 And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing. 14653 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel. 14654 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. 14655 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. 14656 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. 14657 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. 14658 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy? 14659 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: 14660 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. 14661 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. 14662 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. 14663 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. 14664 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. 14665 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. 14666 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: 14667 And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night. 14668 Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which is in Jezreel. 14669 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. 14670 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? 14671 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? 14672 Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands? 14673 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. 14674 Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines. 14675 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? 14676 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. 14677 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. 14678 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. 14679 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; 14680 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. 14681 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. 14682 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep. 14683 And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. 14684 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. 14685 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. 14686 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. 14687 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. 14688 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. 14689 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; 14690 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. 14691 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. 14692 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. 14693 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. 14694 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. 14695 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. 14696 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives. 14697 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. 14698 And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil. 14699 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. 14700 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. 14701 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. 14702 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. 14703 And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day. 14704 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; 14705 To them which were in Bethel, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir, 14706 And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa, 14707 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, 14708 And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chorashan, and to them which were in Athach, 14709 And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt. 14710 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa. 14711 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, Saul's sons. 14712 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers. 14713 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. 14714 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him. 14715 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together. 14716 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. 14717 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. 14718 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. 14719 And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan. 14720 And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul; 14721 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. 14722 And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days. 14723 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; 14724 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. 14725 And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped. 14726 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. 14727 And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead? 14728 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. 14729 And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I. 14730 And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite. 14731 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. 14732 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. 14733 Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him: 14734 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. 14735 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. 14736 And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD's anointed? 14737 And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died. 14738 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. 14739 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son: 14740 (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.) 14741 The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen! 14742 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. 14743 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. 14744 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. 14745 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. 14746 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel. 14747 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places. 14748 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. 14749 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished! 14750 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. 14751 So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite. 14752 And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron. 14753 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. 14754 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. 14755 And now the LORD shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing. 14756 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. 14757 But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim; 14758 And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel. 14759 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. 14760 And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months. 14761 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon. 14762 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. 14763 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise. 14764 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. 14765 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. 14766 And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David. 14767 And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe. 14768 And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner. 14769 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, I am. 14770 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. 14771 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? 14772 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. 14773 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. 14774 And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill. 14775 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? 14776 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. 14777 So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more. 14778 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. 14779 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. 14780 But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so that three hundred and threescore men died. 14781 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. 14782 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. 14783 And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; 14784 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; 14785 And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital; 14786 And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron. 14787 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. 14788 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? 14789 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? 14790 So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the LORD hath sworn to David, even so I do to him; 14791 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. 14792 And he could not answer Abner a word again, because he feared him. 14793 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. 14794 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. 14795 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. 14796 And Ishbosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Phaltiel the son of Laish. 14797 And her husband went with her along weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him, Go, return. And he returned. 14798 And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David in times past to be king over you: 14799 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. 14800 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. 14801 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. 14802 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. 14803 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. 14804 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. 14805 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? 14806 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. 14807 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. 14808 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. 14809 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: 14810 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. 14811 So Joab, and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle. 14812 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. 14813 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. 14814 And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a fool dieth? 14815 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. 14816 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. 14817 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them: as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people. 14818 For all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner. 14819 And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel? 14820 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. 14821 And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled. 14822 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. 14823 And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day.) 14824 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. 14825 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. 14826 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. 14827 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. 14828 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. 14829 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, 14830 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: 14831 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? 14832 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. 14833 Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. 14834 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. 14835 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. 14836 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. 14837 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. 14838 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. 14839 Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David. 14840 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. 14841 So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward. 14842 And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him. 14843 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house. 14844 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. 14845 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. 14846 And these be the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, 14847 Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia, 14848 And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet. 14849 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. 14850 The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 14851 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. 14852 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. 14853 And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them. 14854 And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 14855 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. 14856 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. 14857 And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer. 14858 Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand. 14859 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. 14860 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. 14861 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. 14862 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. 14863 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. 14864 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. 14865 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. 14866 And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me? 14867 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. 14868 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. 14869 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. 14870 And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings. 14871 And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. 14872 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet. 14873 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. 14874 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. 14875 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. 14876 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. 14877 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! 14878 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. 14879 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. 14880 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death. 14881 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; 14882 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. 14883 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee. 14884 And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying, 14885 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in? 14886 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. 14887 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? 14888 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: 14889 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. 14890 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, 14891 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. 14892 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. 14893 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 14894 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: 14895 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee. 14896 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever. 14897 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. 14898 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? 14899 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? 14900 And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord GOD, knowest thy servant. 14901 For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them. 14902 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. 14903 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? 14904 For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God. 14905 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. 14906 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. 14907 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. 14908 And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant: 14909 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. 14910 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. 14911 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. 14912 David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates. 14913 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. 14914 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. 14915 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. 14916 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 14917 And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass. 14918 When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer, 14919 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: 14920 Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued; 14921 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. 14922 And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men. 14923 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. 14924 And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people. 14925 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; 14926 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was the scribe; 14927 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief rulers. 14928 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? 14929 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. 14930 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. 14931 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. 14932 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar. 14933 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! 14934 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. 14935 And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am? 14936 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. 14937 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. 14938 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. 14939 And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth. 14940 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet. 14941 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead. 14942 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. 14943 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? 14944 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. 14945 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. 14946 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. 14947 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men. 14948 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. 14949 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: 14950 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. 14951 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. 14952 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. 14953 And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him. 14954 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. 14955 And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together. 14956 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. 14957 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. 14958 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. 14959 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. 14960 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. 14961 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. 14962 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? 14963 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. 14964 And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child. 14965 And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David. 14966 And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered. 14967 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. 14968 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. 14969 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? 14970 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. 14971 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. 14972 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. 14973 And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 14974 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. 14975 And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were. 14976 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. 14977 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war; 14978 And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king, 14979 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? 14980 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. 14981 So the messenger went, and came and shewed David all that Joab had sent him for. 14982 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. 14983 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. 14984 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. 14985 And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband. 14986 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. 14987 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. 14988 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds: 14989 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. 14990 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. 14991 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: 14992 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity. 14993 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; 14994 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. 14995 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. 14996 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. 14997 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. 14998 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun. 14999 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. 15000 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. 15001 And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick. 15002 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth. 15003 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. 15004 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? 15005 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. 15006 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. 15007 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. 15008 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? 15009 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. 15010 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. 15011 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD. 15012 And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city. 15013 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters. 15014 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. 15015 And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it. 15016 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. 15017 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. 15018 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. 15019 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. 15020 But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man. 15021 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. 15022 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. 15023 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. 15024 Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him meat. 15025 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. 15026 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. 15027 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. 15028 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. 15029 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. 15030 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. 15031 Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her. 15032 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. 15033 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. 15034 Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her. 15035 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. 15036 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. 15037 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. 15038 But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth. 15039 And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar. 15040 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. 15041 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. 15042 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. 15043 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? 15044 But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. 15045 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. 15046 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. 15047 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. 15048 Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent. 15049 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. 15050 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. 15051 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. 15052 And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is. 15053 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. 15054 But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day. 15055 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years. 15056 And the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead. 15057 Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was toward Absalom. 15058 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: 15059 And come to the king, and speak on this manner unto him. So Joab put the words in her mouth. 15060 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. 15061 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and mine husband is dead. 15062 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. 15063 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. 15064 And the king said unto the woman, Go to thine house, and I will give charge concerning thee. 15065 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. 15066 And the king said, Whoever saith ought unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more. 15067 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. 15068 Then the woman said, Let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak one word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on. 15069 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. 15070 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. 15071 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. 15072 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. 15073 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. 15074 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. 15075 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: 15076 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. 15077 And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again. 15078 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. 15079 So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem. 15080 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. 15081 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. 15082 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. 15083 And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance. 15084 So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face. 15085 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. 15086 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. 15087 Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire? 15088 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. 15089 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. 15090 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him. 15091 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. 15092 And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee. 15093 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! 15094 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. 15095 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. 15096 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. 15097 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. 15098 And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron. 15099 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. 15100 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. 15101 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. 15102 And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom. 15103 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. 15104 And the king's servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint. 15105 And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house. 15106 And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off. 15107 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. 15108 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. 15109 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. 15110 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. 15111 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. 15112 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. 15113 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. 15114 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: 15115 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. 15116 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. 15117 See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me. 15118 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they tarried there. 15119 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. 15120 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. 15121 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: 15122 Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me: 15123 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. 15124 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. 15125 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. 15126 So Hushai David's friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem. 15127 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. 15128 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. 15129 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. 15130 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. 15131 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. 15132 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. 15133 And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial: 15134 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. 15135 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. 15136 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? 15137 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. 15138 It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day. 15139 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. 15140 And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there. 15141 And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him. 15142 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. 15143 And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend? 15144 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. 15145 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. 15146 Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do. 15147 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. 15148 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. 15149 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. 15150 Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night: 15151 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: 15152 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. 15153 And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel. 15154 Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith. 15155 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. 15156 And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given is not good at this time. 15157 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. 15158 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. 15159 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. 15160 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. 15161 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. 15162 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. 15163 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. 15164 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. 15165 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. 15166 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. 15167 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. 15168 And the woman took and spread a covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground corn thereon; and the thing was not known. 15169 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. 15170 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. 15171 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. 15172 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. 15173 Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him. 15174 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. 15175 So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead. 15176 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, 15177 Brought beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched corn, and beans, and lentiles, and parched pulse, 15178 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. 15179 And David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds over them. 15180 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. 15181 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. 15182 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. 15183 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. 15184 So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim; 15185 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. 15186 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. 15187 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. 15188 And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak. 15189 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. 15190 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. 15191 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. 15192 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. 15193 And ten young men that bare Joab's armour compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him. 15194 And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab held back the people. 15195 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. 15196 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. 15197 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. 15198 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. 15199 Then said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and ran. 15200 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? 15201 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. 15202 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. 15203 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. 15204 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. 15205 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. 15206 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. 15207 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. 15208 And the king said unto him, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still. 15209 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. 15210 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. 15211 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! 15212 And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom. 15213 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. 15214 And the people gat them by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle. 15215 But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son! 15216 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; 15217 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. 15218 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. 15219 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. 15220 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. 15221 And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back? 15222 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. 15223 Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and my flesh: wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king? 15224 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. 15225 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. 15226 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. 15227 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. 15228 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. 15229 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; 15230 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. 15231 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. 15232 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? 15233 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? 15234 Therefore the king said unto Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king sware unto him. 15235 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. 15236 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? 15237 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. 15238 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. 15239 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? 15240 And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land. 15241 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. 15242 And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan. 15243 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. 15244 And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem. 15245 And Barzillai said unto the king, How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem? 15246 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? 15247 Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward? 15248 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. 15249 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. 15250 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. 15251 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. 15252 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? 15253 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? 15254 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. 15255 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. 15256 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. 15257 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. 15258 Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present. 15259 So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him. 15260 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. 15261 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. 15262 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. 15263 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. 15264 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. 15265 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. 15266 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. 15267 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri. 15268 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. 15269 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. 15270 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. 15271 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. 15272 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. 15273 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? 15274 And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy. 15275 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. 15276 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. 15277 Now Joab was over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites: 15278 And Adoram was over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder: 15279 And Sheva was scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests: 15280 And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David. 15281 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. 15282 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.) 15283 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? 15284 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. 15285 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, 15286 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. 15287 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. 15288 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: 15289 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. 15290 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. 15291 And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done. 15292 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: 15293 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. 15294 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. 15295 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. 15296 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. 15297 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. 15298 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. 15299 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. 15300 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. 15301 And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah the brother of David slew him. 15302 These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants. 15303 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: 15304 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; 15305 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. 15306 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. 15307 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid; 15308 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me; 15309 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. 15310 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth. 15311 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 15312 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet. 15313 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind. 15314 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies. 15315 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled. 15316 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice. 15317 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them. 15318 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. 15319 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters; 15320 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me. 15321 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. 15322 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me. 15323 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 15324 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. 15325 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them. 15326 I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity. 15327 Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight. 15328 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright. 15329 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury. 15330 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down. 15331 For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness. 15332 For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall. 15333 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. 15334 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God? 15335 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect. 15336 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places. 15337 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. 15338 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great. 15339 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip. 15340 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them. 15341 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet. 15342 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me. 15343 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me. 15344 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not. 15345 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. 15346 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. 15347 Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me. 15348 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places. 15349 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation. 15350 It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me. 15351 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. 15352 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name. 15353 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore. 15354 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, 15355 The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue. 15356 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. 15357 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. 15358 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. 15359 But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands: 15360 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. 15361 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. 15362 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: 15363 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. 15364 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. 15365 But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory. 15366 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. 15367 And David was then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem. 15368 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! 15369 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. 15370 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. 15371 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. 15372 Was he not most honourable of three? therefore he was their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the first three. 15373 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: 15374 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. 15375 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among three mighty men. 15376 He was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three. And David set him over his guard. 15377 Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem, 15378 Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite, 15379 Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, 15380 Abiezer the Anethothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite, 15381 Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite, 15382 Heleb the son of Baanah, a Netophathite, Ittai the son of Ribai out of Gibeah of the children of Benjamin, 15383 Benaiah the Pirathonite, Hiddai of the brooks of Gaash, 15384 Abialbon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the Barhumite, 15385 Eliahba the Shaalbonite, of the sons of Jashen, Jonathan, 15386 Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Hararite, 15387 Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai, the son of the Maachathite, Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite, 15388 Hezrai the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite, 15389 Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah, Bani the Gadite, 15390 Zelek the Ammonite, Nahari the Beerothite, armourbearer to Joab the son of Zeruiah, 15391 Ira an Ithrite, Gareb an Ithrite, 15392 Uriah the Hittite: thirty and seven in all. 15393 And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah. 15394 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. 15395 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? 15396 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. 15397 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: 15398 Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtimhodshi; and they came to Danjaan, and about to Zidon, 15399 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. 15400 So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days. 15401 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. 15402 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. 15403 For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying, 15404 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. 15405 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. 15406 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. 15407 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. 15408 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. 15409 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. 15410 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. 15411 And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded. 15412 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. 15413 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. 15414 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. 15415 All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee. 15416 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. 15417 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. 15418 Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat. 15419 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. 15420 So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king. 15421 And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not. 15422 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. 15423 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. 15424 And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him. 15425 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. 15426 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: 15427 But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not. 15428 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? 15429 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. 15430 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? 15431 Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words. 15432 And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king. 15433 And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou? 15434 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. 15435 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not: 15436 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. 15437 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. 15438 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. 15439 And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in. 15440 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. 15441 And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? 15442 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. 15443 But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called. 15444 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? 15445 Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king. 15446 And the king sware, and said, As the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress, 15447 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. 15448 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. 15449 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. 15450 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: 15451 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. 15452 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. 15453 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too. 15454 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. 15455 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. 15456 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. 15457 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. 15458 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? 15459 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. 15460 And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king. 15461 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: 15462 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. 15463 And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom. 15464 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. 15465 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. 15466 And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way. 15467 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar. 15468 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. 15469 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. 15470 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. 15471 Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying, 15472 I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man; 15473 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: 15474 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. 15475 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. 15476 Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace. 15477 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. 15478 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. 15479 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. 15480 So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. 15481 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. 15482 Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly. 15483 And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably. 15484 He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on. 15485 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. 15486 And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on. 15487 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. 15488 And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king. 15489 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. 15490 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. 15491 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife. 15492 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. 15493 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. 15494 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. 15495 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died. 15496 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. 15497 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. 15498 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. 15499 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. 15500 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. 15501 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. 15502 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. 15503 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. 15504 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. 15505 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. 15506 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. 15507 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. 15508 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. 15509 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. 15510 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. 15511 And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again. 15512 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. 15513 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with? 15514 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; 15515 And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever. 15516 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. 15517 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. 15518 Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of the LORD, until those days. 15519 And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places. 15520 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. 15521 In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. 15522 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. 15523 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. 15524 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. 15525 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? 15526 And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing. 15527 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; 15528 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. 15529 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. 15530 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. 15531 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. 15532 Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him. 15533 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. 15534 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. 15535 And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it. 15536 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. 15537 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. 15538 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. 15539 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. 15540 And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king. 15541 And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other. 15542 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. 15543 Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof. 15544 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. 15545 So king Solomon was king over all Israel. 15546 And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest, 15547 Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder. 15548 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests: 15549 And Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers: and Zabud the son of Nathan was principal officer, and the king's friend: 15550 And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the tribute. 15551 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. 15552 And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim: 15553 The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Bethshemesh, and Elonbethhanan: 15554 The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him pertained Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher: 15555 The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife: 15556 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: 15557 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: 15558 Ahinadab the son of Iddo had Mahanaim: 15559 Ahimaaz was in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon to wife: 15560 Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth: 15561 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar: 15562 Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin: 15563 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. 15564 Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry. 15565 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. 15566 And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal, 15567 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer, and fatted fowl. 15568 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. 15569 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. 15570 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. 15571 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. 15572 Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries brought they unto the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge. 15573 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore. 15574 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. 15575 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. 15576 And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five. 15577 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. 15578 And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom. 15579 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. 15580 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying, 15581 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. 15582 But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent. 15583 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. 15584 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. 15585 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. 15586 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. 15587 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. 15588 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire. 15589 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. 15590 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. 15591 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men. 15592 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. 15593 And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains; 15594 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. 15595 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house. 15596 And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew them, and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house. 15597 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. 15598 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. 15599 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. 15600 And for the house he made windows of narrow lights. 15601 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: 15602 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. 15603 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. 15604 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. 15605 So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar. 15606 And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar. 15607 And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying, 15608 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: 15609 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel. 15610 So Solomon built the house, and finished it. 15611 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. 15612 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. 15613 And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long. 15614 And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen. 15615 And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD. 15616 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. 15617 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. 15618 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. 15619 And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high. 15620 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. 15621 And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were of one measure and one size. 15622 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub. 15623 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. 15624 And he overlaid the cherubims with gold. 15625 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. 15626 And the floors of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without. 15627 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. 15628 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. 15629 So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall. 15630 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. 15631 And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work. 15632 And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams. 15633 In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif: 15634 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. 15635 But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house. 15636 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. 15637 And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row. 15638 And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks. 15639 And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks. 15640 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. 15641 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. 15642 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. 15643 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. 15644 And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits. 15645 And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars. 15646 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. 15647 And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre. 15648 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. 15649 For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about. 15650 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: 15651 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. 15652 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. 15653 And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits. 15654 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. 15655 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. 15656 And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished. 15657 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. 15658 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. 15659 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. 15660 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. 15661 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. 15662 And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges: 15663 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. 15664 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. 15665 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. 15666 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. 15667 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. 15668 And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself. 15669 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. 15670 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. 15671 After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size. 15672 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. 15673 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. 15674 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: 15675 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; 15676 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; 15677 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases; 15678 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea; 15679 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. 15680 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan. 15681 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out. 15682 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, 15683 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, 15684 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. 15685 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. 15686 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. 15687 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month. 15688 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark. 15689 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. 15690 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. 15691 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. 15692 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. 15693 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. 15694 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. 15695 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD, 15696 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. 15697 Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. 15698 I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever. 15699 And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood;) 15700 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, 15701 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. 15702 And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. 15703 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. 15704 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. 15705 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. 15706 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. 15707 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: 15708 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: 15709 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. 15710 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. 15711 And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father. 15712 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? 15713 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: 15714 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. 15715 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. 15716 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: 15717 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. 15718 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: 15719 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. 15720 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: 15721 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. 15722 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; 15723 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: 15724 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;) 15725 That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers. 15726 Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake; 15727 (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; 15728 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. 15729 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: 15730 Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause. 15731 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; 15732 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; 15733 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: 15734 Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause, 15735 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: 15736 For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron: 15737 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. 15738 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. 15739 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. 15740 And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying, 15741 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. 15742 The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us: 15743 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. 15744 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: 15745 That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else. 15746 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. 15747 And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD. 15748 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. 15749 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. 15750 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. 15751 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. 15752 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, 15753 That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon. 15754 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. 15755 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: 15756 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. 15757 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: 15758 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: 15759 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? 15760 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. 15761 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, 15762 (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. 15763 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not. 15764 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. 15765 And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold. 15766 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. 15767 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. 15768 And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the nether, 15769 And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land, 15770 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. 15771 And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel, 15772 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. 15773 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. 15774 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. 15775 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. 15776 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. 15777 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. 15778 And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon. 15779 And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon. 15780 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. 15781 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. 15782 And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not. 15783 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built, 15784 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. 15785 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. 15786 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. 15787 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom. 15788 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. 15789 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. 15790 And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones. 15791 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. 15792 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. 15793 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold, 15794 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. 15795 And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one target. 15796 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. 15797 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold. 15798 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. 15799 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. 15800 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. 15801 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. 15802 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom. 15803 And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. 15804 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. 15805 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. 15806 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. 15807 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price. 15808 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. 15809 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites: 15810 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. 15811 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. 15812 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. 15813 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 15814 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. 15815 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. 15816 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. 15817 And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, 15818 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded. 15819 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. 15820 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. 15821 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. 15822 And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom. 15823 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; 15824 (For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom:) 15825 That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child. 15826 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. 15827 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. 15828 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. 15829 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. 15830 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. 15831 And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah: 15832 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. 15833 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. 15834 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. 15835 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. 15836 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. 15837 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: 15838 And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces: 15839 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: 15840 (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:) 15841 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. 15842 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: 15843 But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes. 15844 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. 15845 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel. 15846 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. 15847 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever. 15848 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. 15849 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? 15850 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years. 15851 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead. 15852 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king. 15853 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;) 15854 That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying, 15855 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. 15856 And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed. 15857 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? 15858 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. 15859 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: 15860 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? 15861 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. 15862 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. 15863 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. 15864 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him; 15865 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. 15866 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. 15867 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. 15868 But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 15869 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. 15870 So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day. 15871 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. 15872 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. 15873 But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying, 15874 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, 15875 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. 15876 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel. 15877 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David: 15878 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. 15879 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. 15880 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan. 15881 And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. 15882 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. 15883 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. 15884 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. 15885 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. 15886 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. 15887 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. 15888 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. 15889 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. 15890 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. 15891 And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward. 15892 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: 15893 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. 15894 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel. 15895 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. 15896 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. 15897 And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon, 15898 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. 15899 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread. 15900 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: 15901 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. 15902 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. 15903 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water. 15904 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: 15905 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, 15906 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. 15907 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. 15908 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. 15909 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. 15910 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. 15911 And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him. 15912 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. 15913 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. 15914 And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother! 15915 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: 15916 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. 15917 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. 15918 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. 15919 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick. 15920 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. 15921 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. 15922 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. 15923 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. 15924 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. 15925 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, 15926 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; 15927 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: 15928 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. 15929 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. 15930 Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die. 15931 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. 15932 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. 15933 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. 15934 And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin. 15935 And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: and when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died; 15936 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. 15937 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. 15938 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. 15939 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. 15940 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. 15941 For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree. 15942 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. 15943 And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem: 15944 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. 15945 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. 15946 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. 15947 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? 15948 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days. 15949 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. 15950 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah. 15951 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. and his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom. 15952 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. 15953 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: 15954 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. 15955 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. 15956 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. 15957 And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. 15958 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah. 15959 And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom. 15960 And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father. 15961 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. 15962 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. 15963 But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days. 15964 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. 15965 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. 15966 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. 15967 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, 15968 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. 15969 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. 15970 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah. 15971 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. 15972 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. 15973 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. 15974 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. 15975 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. 15976 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. 15977 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead. 15978 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: 15979 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. 15980 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? 15981 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. 15982 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. 15983 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. 15984 Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying, 15985 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; 15986 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. 15987 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. 15988 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? 15989 So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead. 15990 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. 15991 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. 15992 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. 15993 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. 15994 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. 15995 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. 15996 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. 15997 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? 15998 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. 15999 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. 16000 And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah. 16001 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. 16002 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. 16003 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? 16004 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. 16005 But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned. 16006 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. 16007 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. 16008 But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all that were before him. 16009 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. 16010 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? 16011 So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead. 16012 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. 16013 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him. 16014 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. 16015 And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. 16016 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. 16017 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. 16018 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. 16019 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, 16020 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 16021 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. 16022 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. 16023 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook. 16024 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. 16025 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, 16026 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. 16027 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. 16028 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. 16029 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. 16030 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. 16031 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. 16032 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. 16033 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. 16034 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. 16035 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? 16036 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. 16037 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? 16038 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. 16039 And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived. 16040 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. 16041 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. 16042 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. 16043 And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria. 16044 And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly: 16045 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.) 16046 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. 16047 So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself. 16048 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? 16049 And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 16050 And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me? 16051 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. 16052 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 16053 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. 16054 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? 16055 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me. 16056 And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day. 16057 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah. 16058 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? 16059 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. 16060 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. 16061 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel. 16062 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. 16063 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. 16064 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: 16065 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. 16066 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. 16067 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. 16068 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. 16069 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them. 16070 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. 16071 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. 16072 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: 16073 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. 16074 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. 16075 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. 16076 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water. 16077 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. 16078 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. 16079 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. 16080 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. 16081 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. 16082 And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain. 16083 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, 16084 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. 16085 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. 16086 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. 16087 And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel. 16088 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. 16089 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. 16090 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. 16091 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. 16092 And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat. 16093 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. 16094 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. 16095 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. 16096 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? 16097 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. 16098 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: 16099 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. 16100 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? 16101 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. 16102 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: 16103 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. 16104 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. 16105 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. 16106 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. 16107 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? 16108 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. 16109 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. 16110 And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Benhadad, 16111 Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine. 16112 And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have. 16113 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; 16114 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. 16115 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. 16116 And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent. 16117 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. 16118 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. 16119 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. 16120 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. 16121 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. 16122 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. 16123 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. 16124 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. 16125 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. 16126 And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive. 16127 So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them. 16128 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. 16129 And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter. 16130 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. 16131 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. 16132 And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms: 16133 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. 16134 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. 16135 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. 16136 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. 16137 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. 16138 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. 16139 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. 16140 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. 16141 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. 16142 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. 16143 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. 16144 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. 16145 Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him. 16146 So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face. 16147 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. 16148 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. 16149 And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets. 16150 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. 16151 And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria. 16152 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. 16153 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. 16154 And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee. 16155 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. 16156 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread? 16157 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. 16158 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. 16159 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. 16160 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people: 16161 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. 16162 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. 16163 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people. 16164 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. 16165 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead. 16166 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. 16167 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. 16168 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 16169 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. 16170 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. 16171 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. 16172 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, 16173 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. 16174 And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel. 16175 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. 16176 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. 16177 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. 16178 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. 16179 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 16180 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. 16181 And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel. 16182 And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel. 16183 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? 16184 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. 16185 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day. 16186 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. 16187 And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him? 16188 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. 16189 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah. 16190 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. 16191 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. 16192 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king's hand. 16193 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. 16194 And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak. 16195 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. 16196 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? 16197 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. 16198 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil? 16199 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. 16200 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. 16201 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him. 16202 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 persude him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so. 16203 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. 16204 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? 16205 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself. 16206 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; 16207 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. 16208 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. 16209 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead. 16210 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. 16211 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. 16212 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. 16213 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. 16214 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. 16215 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. 16216 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. 16217 So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria. 16218 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. 16219 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? 16220 So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead. 16221 And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel. 16222 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. 16223 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. 16224 And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel. 16225 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? 16226 And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land. 16227 There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king. 16228 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Eziongeber. 16229 Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not. 16230 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. 16231 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. 16232 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: 16233 For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done. 16234 Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab. 16235 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. 16236 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? 16237 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. 16238 And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back? 16239 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. 16240 And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words? 16241 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. 16242 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. 16243 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. 16244 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. 16245 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. 16246 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. 16247 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. 16248 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. 16249 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. 16250 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. 16251 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? 16252 And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. 16253 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. 16254 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. 16255 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. 16256 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. 16257 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. 16258 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan. 16259 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. 16260 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. 16261 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. 16262 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. 16263 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. 16264 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan; 16265 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. 16266 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. 16267 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. 16268 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. 16269 And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not? 16270 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. 16271 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him. 16272 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. 16273 So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake. 16274 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. 16275 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. 16276 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria. 16277 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. 16278 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. 16279 Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom. 16280 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. 16281 But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel. 16282 And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel. 16283 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. 16284 And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom. 16285 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. 16286 And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab! 16287 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. 16288 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. 16289 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. 16290 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. 16291 But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him. 16292 And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches. 16293 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. 16294 And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand. 16295 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. 16296 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. 16297 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. 16298 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: 16299 And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil. 16300 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. 16301 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. 16302 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. 16303 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. 16304 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. 16305 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. 16306 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. 16307 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. 16308 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. 16309 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. 16310 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. 16311 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. 16312 And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually. 16313 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. 16314 And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there. 16315 And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him. 16316 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. 16317 And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old. 16318 And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door. 16319 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. 16320 And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life. 16321 And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers. 16322 And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother. 16323 And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died. 16324 And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out. 16325 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. 16326 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. 16327 Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee. 16328 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: 16329 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: 16330 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. 16331 Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me? 16332 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. 16333 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. 16334 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. 16335 And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed. 16336 He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD. 16337 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 stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm. 16338 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. 16339 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. 16340 Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out. 16341 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. 16342 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. 16343 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. 16344 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. 16345 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. 16346 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. 16347 So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD. 16348 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. 16349 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. 16350 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. 16351 And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel. 16352 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. 16353 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. 16354 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. 16355 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. 16356 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. 16357 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. 16358 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. 16359 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. 16360 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? 16361 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. 16362 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. 16363 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. 16364 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. 16365 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. 16366 And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way. 16367 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. 16368 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? 16369 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. 16370 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. 16371 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. 16372 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. 16373 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? 16374 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. 16375 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us. 16376 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. 16377 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go. 16378 So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood. 16379 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. 16380 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. 16381 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it. 16382 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. 16383 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. 16384 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. 16385 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? 16386 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. 16387 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. 16388 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about. 16389 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? 16390 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. 16391 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. 16392 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. 16393 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. 16394 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. 16395 And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them? 16396 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. 16397 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. 16398 And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria. 16399 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. 16400 And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king. 16401 And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress? 16402 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. 16403 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. 16404 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. 16405 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. 16406 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? 16407 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? 16408 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. 16409 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. 16410 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? 16411 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. 16412 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. 16413 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. 16414 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. 16415 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. 16416 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. 16417 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. 16418 And he called the porters; and they told it to the king's house within. 16419 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. 16420 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. 16421 They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see. 16422 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. 16423 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. 16424 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. 16425 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: 16426 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. 16427 And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died. 16428 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. 16429 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. 16430 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. 16431 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. 16432 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. 16433 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. 16434 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. 16435 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? 16436 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? 16437 And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover: howbeit the LORD hath shewed me that he shall surely die. 16438 And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept. 16439 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. 16440 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. 16441 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. 16442 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. 16443 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. 16444 Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 16445 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. 16446 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. 16447 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves. 16448 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. 16449 Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time. 16450 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? 16451 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. 16452 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. 16453 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. 16454 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. 16455 And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramothgilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram. 16456 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. 16457 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: 16458 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; 16459 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. 16460 So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramothgilead. 16461 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. 16462 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. 16463 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. 16464 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: 16465 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: 16466 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. 16467 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. 16468 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. 16469 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. 16470 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. 16471 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. 16472 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. 16473 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? 16474 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. 16475 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. 16476 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. 16477 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. 16478 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? 16479 And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah. 16480 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. 16481 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; 16482 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. 16483 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. 16484 And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David. 16485 And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah. 16486 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. 16487 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master? 16488 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. 16489 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. 16490 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. 16491 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. 16492 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: 16493 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. 16494 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, 16495 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; 16496 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. 16497 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand? 16498 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. 16499 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. 16500 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. 16501 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. 16502 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? 16503 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. 16504 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. 16505 And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing house in the way, 16506 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. 16507 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. 16508 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. 16509 And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD. So they made him ride in his chariot. 16510 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. 16511 And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much. 16512 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. 16513 And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it. 16514 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. 16515 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. 16516 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. 16517 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. 16518 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. 16519 And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them. 16520 And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day. 16521 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel. 16522 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. 16523 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. 16524 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. 16525 In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel; 16526 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. 16527 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? 16528 And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead. 16529 And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years. 16530 And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal. 16531 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. 16532 And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land. 16533 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. 16534 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; 16535 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. 16536 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. 16537 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. 16538 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. 16539 And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David's spears and shields, that were in the temple of the LORD. 16540 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. 16541 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. 16542 And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD. 16543 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. 16544 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. 16545 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. 16546 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. 16547 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. 16548 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. 16549 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. 16550 Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign. 16551 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. 16552 And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him. 16553 But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places. 16554 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, 16555 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. 16556 But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house. 16557 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. 16558 And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house. 16559 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. 16560 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. 16561 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, 16562 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. 16563 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: 16564 But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house of the LORD. 16565 Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully. 16566 The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the LORD: it was the priests'. 16567 Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem. 16568 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. 16569 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? 16570 And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla. 16571 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. 16572 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. 16573 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. 16574 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. 16575 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. 16576 (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. 16577 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.) 16578 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. 16579 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? 16580 And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his stead. 16581 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. 16582 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. 16583 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? 16584 And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. 16585 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. 16586 And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows. 16587 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. 16588 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. 16589 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. 16590 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. 16591 And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year. 16592 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. 16593 But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. 16594 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. 16595 So Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his stead. 16596 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. 16597 In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah. 16598 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. 16599 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. 16600 Howbeit the high places were not taken away: as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places. 16601 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. 16602 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. 16603 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. 16604 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. 16605 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. 16606 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? 16607 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. 16608 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to their tents. 16609 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. 16610 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. 16611 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? 16612 And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead. 16613 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years. 16614 And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 16615 Now they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there. 16616 And they brought him on horses: and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David. 16617 And all the people of Judah took Azariah, which was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah. 16618 He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers. 16619 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty and one years. 16620 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 16621 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. 16622 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. 16623 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. 16624 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? 16625 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zachariah his son reigned in his stead. 16626 In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign. 16627 Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem. 16628 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done; 16629 Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places. 16630 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. 16631 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? 16632 So Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead. 16633 In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months. 16634 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 16635 And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead. 16636 And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. 16637 This was the word of the LORD which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth generation. And so it came to pass. 16638 Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria. 16639 For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his stead. 16640 And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. 16641 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. 16642 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. 16643 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 16644 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. 16645 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. 16646 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? 16647 And Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead. 16648 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. 16649 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 16650 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. 16651 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. 16652 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. 16653 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 16654 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. 16655 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. 16656 And the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. 16657 In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign. 16658 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. 16659 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done. 16660 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. 16661 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? 16662 In those days the LORD began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah. 16663 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. 16664 In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign. 16665 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. 16666 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. 16667 And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. 16668 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. 16669 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. 16670 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. 16671 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. 16672 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. 16673 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. 16674 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. 16675 And when the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king approached to the altar, and offered thereon. 16676 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. 16677 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. 16678 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. 16679 Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded. 16680 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 the pavement of stones. 16681 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. 16682 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? 16683 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. 16684 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years. 16685 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him. 16686 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents. 16687 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. 16688 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years. 16689 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. 16690 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, 16691 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. 16692 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. 16693 And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree: 16694 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: 16695 For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing. 16696 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. 16697 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. 16698 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. 16699 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. 16700 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. 16701 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. 16702 Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made. 16703 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. 16704 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. 16705 For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them; 16706 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. 16707 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. 16708 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. 16709 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. 16710 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. 16711 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. 16712 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. 16713 And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima, 16714 And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. 16715 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. 16716 They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence. 16717 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; 16718 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: 16719 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. 16720 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. 16721 And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods. 16722 But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies. 16723 Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner. 16724 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. 16725 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. 16726 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. 16727 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did. 16728 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. 16729 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. 16730 For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses. 16731 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. 16732 He smote the Philistines, even unto Gaza, and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city. 16733 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. 16734 And at the end of three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is in the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken. 16735 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: 16736 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. 16737 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. 16738 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. 16739 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. 16740 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. 16741 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. 16742 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. 16743 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? 16744 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? 16745 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. 16746 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? 16747 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. 16748 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? 16749 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. 16750 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. 16751 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? 16752 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: 16753 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand: 16754 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. 16755 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: 16756 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. 16757 Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? 16758 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? 16759 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? 16760 But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not. 16761 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. 16762 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. 16763 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. 16764 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. 16765 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. 16766 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 16767 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. 16768 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. 16769 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish. 16770 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, 16771 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. 16772 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered? 16773 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? 16774 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivah? 16775 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. 16776 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. 16777 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. 16778 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands, 16779 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. 16780 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. 16781 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. 16782 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. 16783 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. 16784 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. 16785 I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places. 16786 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. 16787 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. 16788 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me. 16789 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. 16790 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. 16791 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward. 16792 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. 16793 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. 16794 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD. 16795 For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake. 16796 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. 16797 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. 16798 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. 16799 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. 16800 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying, 16801 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. 16802 And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying, 16803 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. 16804 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. 16805 And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered. 16806 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? 16807 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? 16808 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. 16809 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. 16810 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. 16811 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. 16812 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. 16813 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. 16814 And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD. 16815 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. 16816 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. 16817 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? 16818 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? 16819 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead. 16820 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. 16821 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. 16822 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. 16823 And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my name. 16824 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD. 16825 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. 16826 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: 16827 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. 16828 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. 16829 And the LORD spake by his servants the prophets, saying, 16830 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: 16831 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. 16832 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. 16833 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; 16834 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. 16835 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. 16836 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? 16837 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. 16838 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. 16839 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh did. 16840 And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them: 16841 And he forsook the LORD God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the LORD. 16842 And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house. 16843 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. 16844 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? 16845 And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead. 16846 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. 16847 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. 16848 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, 16849 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: 16850 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, 16851 Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house. 16852 Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully. 16853 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. 16854 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. 16855 And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king. 16856 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes. 16857 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, 16858 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. 16859 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. 16860 And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me, 16861 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: 16862 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. 16863 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; 16864 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. 16865 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. 16866 And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem. 16867 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. 16868 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. 16869 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. 16870 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. 16871 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. 16872 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. 16873 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. 16874 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. 16875 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. 16876 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. 16877 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. 16878 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. 16879 And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men. 16880 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. 16881 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. 16882 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. 16883 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. 16884 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. 16885 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. 16886 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. 16887 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; 16888 But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein this passover was holden to the LORD in Jerusalem. 16889 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. 16890 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. 16891 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. 16892 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. 16893 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? 16894 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. 16895 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. 16896 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. 16897 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done. 16898 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. 16899 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. 16900 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. 16901 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. 16902 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done. 16903 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him. 16904 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. 16905 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; 16906 And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon. 16907 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? 16908 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead. 16909 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. 16910 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. 16911 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done. 16912 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged. 16913 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it. 16914 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. 16915 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. 16916 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. 16917 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. 16918 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. 16919 And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah. 16920 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. 16921 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. 16922 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. 16923 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. 16924 And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. 16925 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. 16926 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. 16927 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. 16928 So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him. 16929 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. 16930 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: 16931 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. 16932 And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about. 16933 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. 16934 But the captain of the guard left of the door of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen. 16935 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. 16936 And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away. 16937 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. 16938 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. 16939 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. 16940 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door: 16941 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: 16942 And Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah: 16943 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. 16944 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. 16945 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. 16946 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. 16947 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. 16948 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. 16949 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; 16950 And he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon; 16951 And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life. 16952 And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life. 16953 Adam, Sheth, Enosh, 16954 Kenan, Mahalaleel, Jered, 16955 Henoch, Methuselah, Lamech, 16956 Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 16957 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 16958 And the sons of Gomer; Ashchenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 16959 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 16960 The sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. 16961 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabta, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. 16962 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be mighty upon the earth. 16963 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 16964 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (of whom came the Philistines,) and Caphthorim. 16965 And Canaan begat Zidon his firstborn, and Heth, 16966 The Jebusite also, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, 16967 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, 16968 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. 16969 The sons of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram, and Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Meshech. 16970 And Arphaxad begat Shelah, and Shelah begat Eber. 16971 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother's name was Joktan. 16972 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, 16973 Hadoram also, and Uzal, and Diklah, 16974 And Ebal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 16975 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. 16976 Shem, Arphaxad, Shelah, 16977 Eber, Peleg, Reu, 16978 Serug, Nahor, Terah, 16979 Abram; the same is Abraham. 16980 The sons of Abraham; Isaac, and Ishmael. 16981 These are their generations: The firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth; then Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, 16982 Mishma, and Dumah, Massa, Hadad, and Tema, 16983 Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. These are the sons of Ishmael. 16984 Now the sons of Keturah, Abraham's concubine: she bare Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. And the sons of Jokshan; Sheba, and Dedan. 16985 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Henoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these are the sons of Keturah. 16986 And Abraham begat Isaac.

And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity. 17151 And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land: they increased from Bashan unto Baalhermon and Senir, and unto mount Hermon. 17152 And these were the heads of the house of their fathers, even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men, and heads of the house of their fathers. 17153 And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before them. 17154 And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day. 17155 The sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 17156 And the sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel. 17157 And the children of Amram; Aaron, and Moses, and Miriam.

All these are of the sons of Benjamin. 17316 So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they were written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, who were carried away to Babylon for their transgression. 17317 Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their cities were, the Israelites, the priests, Levites, and the Nethinims. 17318 And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and Manasseh; 17319 Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the children of Pharez the son of Judah. 17320 And of the Shilonites; Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons. 17321 And of the sons of Zerah; Jeuel, and their brethren, six hundred and ninety. 17322 And of the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah, 17323 And Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephathiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah; 17324 And their brethren, according to their generations, nine hundred and fifty and six. All these men were chief of the fathers in the house of their fathers. 17325 And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin, 17326 And Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God; 17327 And Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasiai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer; 17328 And their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and threescore; very able men for the work of the service of the house of God. 17329 And of the Levites; Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari; 17330 And Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph; 17331 And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites. 17332 And the porters were, Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren: Shallum was the chief; 17333 Who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward: they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi. 17334 And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the host of the LORD, were keepers of the entry. 17335 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and the LORD was with him. 17336 And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 17337 All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office. 17338 So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by wards. 17339 In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south. 17340 And their brethren, which were in their villages, were to come after seven days from time to time with them. 17341 For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God. 17342 And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them. 17343 And certain of them had the charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by tale. 17344 Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels, and all the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices. 17345 And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices. 17346 And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were made in the pans. 17347 And other of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath. 17348 And these are the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites, who remaining in the chambers were free: for they were employed in that work day and night. 17349 These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem. 17350 And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name was Maachah: 17351 And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab. 17352 And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth. 17353 And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem, over against their brethren. 17354 And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal. 17355 And the son of Jonathan was Meribbaal: and Meribbaal begat Micah. 17356 And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, and Ahaz. 17357 And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza; 17358 And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son. 17359 And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan: these were the sons of Azel. 17360 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa. 17361 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul. 17362 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers. 17363 Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it. 17364 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died. 17365 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together. 17366 And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them. 17367 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa. 17368 And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people. 17369 And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon. 17370 And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, 17371 They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days. 17372 So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it; 17373 And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse. 17374 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. 17375 And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel. 17376 Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel. 17377 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land. 17378 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David. 17379 And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief. 17380 And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David. 17381 And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city. 17382 So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him. 17383 These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, and with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel. 17384 And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time. 17385 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties. 17386 He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines. 17387 And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great deliverance. 17388 Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim. 17389 And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem. 17390 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, that is at the gate! 17391 And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD. 17392 And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest. 17393 And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew them, and had a name among the three. 17394 Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three. 17395 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day. 17396 And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear. 17397 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighties. 17398 Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not to the first three: and David set him over his guard. 17399 Also the valiant men of the armies were, Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem, 17400 Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite, 17401 Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Antothite, 17402 Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite, 17403 Maharai the Netophathite, Heled the son of Baanah the Netophathite, 17404 Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah, that pertained to the children of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite, 17405 Hurai of the brooks of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite, 17406 Azmaveth the Baharumite, Eliahba the Shaalbonite, 17407 The sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan the son of Shage the Hararite, 17408 Ahiam the son of Sacar the Hararite, Eliphal the son of Ur, 17409 Hepher the Mecherathite, Ahijah the Pelonite, 17410 Hezro the Carmelite, Naarai the son of Ezbai, 17411 Joel the brother of Nathan, Mibhar the son of Haggeri, 17412 Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite, the armourbearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah, 17413 Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite, 17414 Uriah the Hittite, Zabad the son of Ahlai, 17415 Adina the son of Shiza the Reubenite, a captain of the Reubenites, and thirty with him, 17416 Hanan the son of Maachah, and Joshaphat the Mithnite, 17417 Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jehiel the sons of Hothan the Aroerite, 17418 Jediael the son of Shimri, and Joha his brother, the Tizite, 17419 Eliel the Mahavite, and Jeribai, and Joshaviah, the sons of Elnaam, and Ithmah the Moabite, 17420 Eliel, and Obed, and Jasiel the Mesobaite. 17421 Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish: and they were among the mighty men, helpers of the war. 17422 They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out of a bow, even of Saul's brethren of Benjamin. 17423 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite. 17424 And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad the Gederathite, 17425 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite, 17426 Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korhites, 17427 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor. 17428 And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into the hold to the wilderness men of might, and men of war fit for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as the roes upon the mountains; 17429 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third, 17430 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth, 17431 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh, 17432 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth, 17433 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh. 17434 These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was over an hundred, and the greatest over a thousand. 17435 These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west. 17436 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David. 17437 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it. 17438 Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band. 17439 And there fell some of Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not: for the lords of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads. 17440 As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the thousands that were of Manasseh. 17441 And they helped David against the band of the rovers: for they were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host. 17442 For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host, like the host of God. 17443 And these are the numbers of the bands that were ready armed to the war, and came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the LORD. 17444 The children of Judah that bare shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the war. 17445 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for the war, seven thousand and one hundred. 17446 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred. 17447 And Jehoiada was the leader of the Aaronites, and with him were three thousand and seven hundred; 17448 And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his father's house twenty and two captains. 17449 And of the children of Benjamin, the kindred of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept the ward of the house of Saul. 17450 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valour, famous throughout the house of their fathers. 17451 And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, which were expressed by name, to come and make David king. 17452 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment. 17453 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank: they were not of double heart. 17454 And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty and seven thousand. 17455 And of the Danites expert in war twenty and eight thousand and six hundred. 17456 And of Asher, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, forty thousand. 17457 And on the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, an hundred and twenty thousand. 17458 All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king. 17459 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them. 17460 Moreover they that were nigh them, even unto Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, and meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel. 17461 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader. 17462 And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us: 17463 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul. 17464 And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. 17465 So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim. 17466 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjathjearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it. 17467 And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart. 17468 And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets. 17469 And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. 17470 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God. 17471 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day. 17472 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me? 17473 So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite. 17474 And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had. 17475 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house. 17476 And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel. 17477 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters. 17478 Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon, 17479 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet, 17480 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia, 17481 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet. 17482 And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard of it, and went out against them. 17483 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 17484 And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand. 17485 So they came up to Baalperazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim. 17486 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire. 17487 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley. 17488 Therefore David enquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees. 17489 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines. 17490 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer. 17491 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations. 17492 And David made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent. 17493 Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever. 17494 And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD unto his place, which he had prepared for it. 17495 And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites: 17496 Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty: 17497 Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty: 17498 Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief and his brethren an hundred and thirty: 17499 Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred: 17500 Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore: 17501 Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve. 17502 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab, 17503 And said unto them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared for it. 17504 For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order. 17505 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel. 17506 And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD. 17507 And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy. 17508 So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah; 17509 And with them their brethren of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters. 17510 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass; 17511 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth; 17512 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel. 17513 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was skilful. 17514 And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark. 17515 And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark. 17516 So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the house of Obededom with joy. 17517 And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams. 17518 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also had upon him an ephod of linen. 17519 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps. 17520 And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal, the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart. 17521 So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God. 17522 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD. 17523 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. 17524 And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel: 17525 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals; 17526 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God. 17527 Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren. 17528 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. 17529 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works. 17530 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. 17531 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually. 17532 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; 17533 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. 17534 He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. 17535 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations; 17536 Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac; 17537 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, 17538 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance; 17539 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it. 17540 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people; 17541 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, 17542 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. 17543 Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation. 17544 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations. 17545 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods. 17546 For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. 17547 Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place. 17548 Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 17549 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. 17550 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved. 17551 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth. 17552 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein. 17553 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth. 17554 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. 17555 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise. 17556 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD. 17557 So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required: 17558 And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters: 17559 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon, 17560 To offer burnt offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded Israel; 17561 And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever; 17562 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. 17563 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house. 17564 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. 17565 Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee. 17566 And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying, 17567 Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in: 17568 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. 17569 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? 17570 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: 17571 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. 17572 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, 17573 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. 17574 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. 17575 He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever. 17576 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: 17577 But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore. 17578 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. 17579 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? 17580 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. 17581 What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant. 17582 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. 17583 O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 17584 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? 17585 For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God. 17586 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. 17587 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. 17588 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. 17589 And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant: 17590 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. 17591 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. 17592 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts. 17593 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates. 17594 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. 17595 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. 17596 Then David put garrisons in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went. 17597 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. 17598 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. 17599 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah; 17600 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. 17601 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. 17602 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand. 17603 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went. 17604 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people. 17605 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder. 17606 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe; 17607 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king. 17608 Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead. 17609 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. 17610 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? 17611 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. 17612 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. 17613 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. 17614 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. 17615 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men. 17616 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. 17617 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. 17618 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. 17619 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. 17620 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. 17621 So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him. 17622 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. 17623 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. 17624 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. 17625 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. 17626 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. 17627 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. 17628 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. 17629 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. 17630 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. 17631 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. 17632 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. 17633 But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him. 17634 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants. 17635 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. 17636 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. 17637 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? 17638 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. 17639 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. 17640 But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab. 17641 And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel. 17642 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. 17643 And the LORD spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying, 17644 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. 17645 So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee 17646 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. 17647 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. 17648 So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men. 17649 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. 17650 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. 17651 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. 17652 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. 17653 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of the LORD. 17654 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat. 17655 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. 17656 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. 17657 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. 17658 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. 17659 So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight. 17660 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. 17661 And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof. 17662 At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there. 17663 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. 17664 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. 17665 Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel. 17666 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. 17667 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; 17668 Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David. 17669 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. 17670 Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel. 17671 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: 17672 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. 17673 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. 17674 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. 17675 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. 17676 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. 17677 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. 17678 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. 17679 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. 17680 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. 17681 David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying, 17682 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. 17683 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. 17684 So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel. 17685 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites. 17686 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. 17687 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: 17688 Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith. 17689 And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 17690 Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei. 17691 The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three. 17692 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan. 17693 And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. 17694 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. 17695 The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four. 17696 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. 17697 Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi. 17698 The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer. 17699 Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief. 17700 And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many. 17701 Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief. 17702 Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. 17703 Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first and Jesiah the second. 17704 The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish. 17705 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them. 17706 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three. 17707 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. 17708 For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever: 17709 And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof. 17710 For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above: 17711 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; 17712 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; 17713 And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even: 17714 And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD: 17715 And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD. 17716 Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 17717 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office. 17718 And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service. 17719 And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar, and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers. 17720 Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar. 17721 And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar. 17722 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, 17723 The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, 17724 The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, 17725 The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah, 17726 The ninth to Jeshuah, the tenth to Shecaniah, 17727 The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, 17728 The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, 17729 The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, 17730 The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses, 17731 The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel, 17732 The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul, 17733 The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah. 17734 These were the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD, according to their manner, under Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him. 17735 And the rest of the sons of Levi were these: Of the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah. 17736 Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah. 17737 Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath. 17738 And the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth. 17739 Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah: of the sons of Michah; Shamir. 17740 The brother of Michah was Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah; Zechariah. 17741 The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno. 17742 The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri. 17743 Of Mahli came Eleazar, who had no sons. 17744 Concerning Kish: the son of Kish was Jerahmeel. 17745 The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers. 17746 These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites, even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren. 17747 Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was: 17748 Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king. 17749 Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD. 17750 Of Heman: the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamtiezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth: 17751 All these were the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters. 17752 All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman. 17753 So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD, even all that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight. 17754 And they cast lots, ward against ward, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar. 17755 Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph: the second to Gedaliah, who with his brethren and sons were twelve: 17756 The third to Zaccur, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17757 The fourth to Izri, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17758 The fifth to Nethaniah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17759 The sixth to Bukkiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17760 The seventh to Jesharelah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17761 The eighth to Jeshaiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17762 The ninth to Mattaniah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17763 The tenth to Shimei, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17764 The eleventh to Azareel, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17765 The twelfth to Hashabiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17766 The thirteenth to Shubael, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17767 The fourteenth to Mattithiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17768 The fifteenth to Jeremoth, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17769 The sixteenth to Hananiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17770 The seventeenth to Joshbekashah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17771 The eighteenth to Hanani, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17772 The nineteenth to Mallothi, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17773 The twentieth to Eliathah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17774 The one and twentieth to Hothir, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17775 The two and twentieth to Giddalti, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17776 The three and twentieth to Mahazioth, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: 17777 The four and twentieth to Romamtiezer, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve. 17778 Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites was Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph. 17779 And the sons of Meshelemiah were, Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth, 17780 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh. 17781 Moreover the sons of Obededom were, Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth. 17782 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth: for God blessed him. 17783 Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they were mighty men of valour. 17784 The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren were strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah. 17785 All these of the sons of Obededom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, were threescore and two of Obededom. 17786 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen. 17787 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Simri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief;) 17788 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen. 17789 Among these were the divisions of the porters, even among the chief men, having wards one against another, to minister in the house of the LORD. 17790 And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate. 17791 And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward. 17792 To Obededom southward; and to his sons the house of Asuppim. 17793 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward, with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward against ward. 17794 Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and toward Asuppim two and two. 17795 At Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar. 17796 These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore, and among the sons of Merari. 17797 And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasures of the house of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things. 17798 As concerning the sons of Laadan; the sons of the Gershonite Laadan, chief fathers, even of Laadan the Gershonite, were Jehieli. 17799 The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel his brother, which were over the treasures of the house of the LORD. 17800 Of the Amramites, and the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites: 17801 And Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler of the treasures. 17802 And his brethren by Eliezer; Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son. 17803 Which Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasures of the dedicated things, which David the king, and the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the host, had dedicated. 17804 Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the LORD. 17805 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had dedicated; and whosoever had dedicated any thing, it was under the hand of Shelomith, and of his brethren. 17806 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were for the outward business over Israel, for officers and judges. 17807 And of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, men of valour, a thousand and seven hundred, were officers among them of Israel on this side Jordan westward in all the business of the LORD, and in the service of the king. 17808 Among the Hebronites was Jerijah the chief, even among the Hebronites, according to the generations of his fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought for, and there were found among them mighty men of valour at Jazer of Gilead. 17809 And his brethren, men of valour, were two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David made rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king. 17810 Now the children of Israel after their number, to wit, the chief fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds, and their officers that served the king in any matter of the courses, which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year, of every course were twenty and four thousand. 17811 Over the first course for the first month was Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 17812 Of the children of Perez was the chief of all the captains of the host for the first month. 17813 And over the course of the second month was Dodai an Ahohite, and of his course was Mikloth also the ruler: in his course likewise were twenty and four thousand. 17814 The third captain of the host for the third month was Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a chief priest: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 17815 This is that Benaiah, who was mighty among the thirty, and above the thirty: and in his course was Ammizabad his son. 17816 The fourth captain for the fourth month was Asahel the brother of Joab, and Zebadiah his son after him: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 17817 The fifth captain for the fifth month was Shamhuth the Izrahite: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 17818 The sixth captain for the sixth month was Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 17819 The seventh captain for the seventh month was Helez the Pelonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 17820 The eighth captain for the eighth month was Sibbecai the Hushathite, of the Zarhites: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 17821 The ninth captain for the ninth month was Abiezer the Anetothite, of the Benjamites: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 17822 The tenth captain for the tenth month was Maharai the Netophathite, of the Zarhites: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 17823 The eleventh captain for the eleventh month was Benaiah the Pirathonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 17824 The twelfth captain for the twelfth month was Heldai the Netophathite, of Othniel: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. 17825 Furthermore over the tribes of Israel: the ruler of the Reubenites was Eliezer the son of Zichri: of the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maachah: 17826 Of the Levites, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel: of the Aaronites, Zadok: 17827 Of Judah, Elihu, one of the brethren of David: of Issachar, Omri the son of Michael: 17828 Of Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah: of Naphtali, Jerimoth the son of Azriel: 17829 Of the children of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Azaziah: of the half tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah: 17830 Of the half tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah: of Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner: 17831 Of Dan, Azareel the son of Jeroham. These were the princes of the tribes of Israel. 17832 But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under: because the LORD had said he would increase Israel like to the stars of the heavens. 17833 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he finished not, because there fell wrath for it against Israel; neither was the number put in the account of the chronicles of king David. 17834 And over the king's treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was Jehonathan the son of Uzziah: 17835 And over them that did the work of the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub: 17836 And over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: over the increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite: 17837 And over the olive trees and the sycomore trees that were in the low plains was Baalhanan the Gederite: and over the cellars of oil was Joash: 17838 And over the herds that fed in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite: and over the herds that were in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai: 17839 Over the camels also was Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the asses was Jehdeiah the Meronothite: 17840 And over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagerite. All these were the rulers of the substance which was king David's. 17841 Also Jonathan David's uncle was a counsellor, a wise man, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king's sons: 17842 And Ahithophel was the king's counsellor: and Hushai the Archite was the king's companion: 17843 And after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the general of the king's army was Joab. 17844 And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course, and the captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men, unto Jerusalem. 17845 Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building: 17846 But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house for my name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed blood. 17847 Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel: 17848 And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons,) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel. 17849 And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father. 17850 Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day. 17851 Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you for ever. 17852 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever. 17853 Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it. 17854 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat, 17855 And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things: 17856 Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD. 17857 He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; silver also for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service: 17858 Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, both for the candlestick, and also for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick. 17859 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread, for every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver: 17860 Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basons he gave gold by weight for every bason; and likewise silver by weight for every bason of silver: 17861 And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread out their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD. 17862 All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern. 17863 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD. 17864 And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment. 17865 Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God. 17866 Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance. 17867 Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house. 17868 Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses withal: 17869 The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD? 17870 Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work, offered willingly, 17871 And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron. 17872 And they with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite. 17873 Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy. 17874 Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. 17875 Thine, O LORD is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. 17876 Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. 17877 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. 17878 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee. 17879 For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding. 17880 O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee an house for thine holy name cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own. 17881 I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee. 17882 O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee: 17883 And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for the which I have made provision. 17884 And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king. 17885 And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that day, even a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel: 17886 And did eat and drink before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him unto the LORD to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be priest. 17887 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him. 17888 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king. 17889 And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel. 17890 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel. 17891 And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem. 17892 And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead. 17893 Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer, 17894 With all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries. 17895 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly. 17896 Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers. 17897 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness. 17898 But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 17899 Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it. 17900 And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it. 17901 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. 17902 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead. 17903 Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. 17904 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great? 17905 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: 17906 Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like. 17907 Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel. 17908 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. 17909 And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance. 17910 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price. 17911 And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means. 17912 And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an house for his kingdom. 17913 And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them. 17914 And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein, even so deal with me. 17915 Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel. 17916 And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods. 17917 But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him? 17918 Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide. 17919 Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants, 17920 Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great. 17921 And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil. 17922 Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the LORD hath loved his people, he hath made thee king over them. 17923 Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that might build an house for the LORD, and an house for his kingdom. 17924 And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father's, 17925 The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father. 17926 Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants: 17927 And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need: and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem. 17928 And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred. 17929 And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people a work. 17930 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. 17931 And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign. 17932 Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. 17933 And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold. 17934 And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains. 17935 And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim. 17936 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims on the walls. 17937 And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents. 17938 And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold. 17939 And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold. 17940 And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub. 17941 And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub. 17942 The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward. 17943 And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon. 17944 Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits. 17945 And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains. 17946 And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz. 17947 Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof. 17948 Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about. 17949 And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast. 17950 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. 17951 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. 17952 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. 17953 And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left. 17954 He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made an hundred basons of gold. 17955 Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass. 17956 And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south. 17957 And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basons. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God; 17958 To wit, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were on the top of the pillars; 17959 And four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were upon the pillars. 17960 He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases; 17961 One sea, and twelve oxen under it. 17962 The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass. 17963 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah. 17964 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out. 17965 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; 17966 Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold; 17967 And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect gold; 17968 And the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold. 17969 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. 17970 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. 17971 Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month. 17972 And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark. 17973 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. 17974 Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude. 17975 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: 17976 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above. 17977 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. 17978 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. 17979 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: 17980 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:) 17981 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; 17982 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. 17983 Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. 17984 But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever. 17985 And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood. 17986 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, 17987 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: 17988 But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel. 17989 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. 17990 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: 17991 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. 17992 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. 17993 And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel. 17994 And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands: 17995 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. 17996 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: 17997 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. 17998 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. 17999 Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David. 18000 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! 18001 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: 18002 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. 18003 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. 18004 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; 18005 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. 18006 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; 18007 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. 18008 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; 18009 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. 18010 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: 18011 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: 18012 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:) 18013 That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers. 18014 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; 18015 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. 18016 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; 18017 Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause. 18018 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; 18019 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; 18020 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: 18021 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. 18022 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. 18023 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. 18024 O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant. 18025 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. 18026 And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD's house. 18027 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. 18028 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD. 18029 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. 18030 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. 18031 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. 18032 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. 18033 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. 18034 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. 18035 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. 18036 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. 18037 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; 18038 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. 18039 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. 18040 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. 18041 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; 18042 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. 18043 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; 18044 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. 18045 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? 18046 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. 18047 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house, 18048 That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there. 18049 And Solomon went to Hamathzobah, and prevailed against it. 18050 And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath. 18051 Also he built Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars; 18052 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. 18053 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, 18054 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. 18055 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. 18056 And these were the chief of king Solomon's officers, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people. 18057 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. 18058 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch, 18059 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. 18060 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. 18061 And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures. 18062 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. 18063 Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom. 18064 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. 18065 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. 18066 And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not. 18067 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built, 18068 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. 18069 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: 18070 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. 18071 Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom. 18072 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. 18073 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. 18074 And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones. 18075 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. 18076 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. 18077 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold; 18078 Beside that which chapmen and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon. 18079 And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one target. 18080 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. 18081 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold. 18082 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: 18083 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. 18084 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. 18085 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. 18086 And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. 18087 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart. 18088 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. 18089 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. 18090 And he reigned over all the kings from the river even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt. 18091 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. 18092 And they brought unto Solomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all lands. 18093 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? 18094 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. 18095 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. 18096 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king. 18097 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, whither he fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt. 18098 And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spake to Rehoboam, saying, 18099 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. 18100 And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed. 18101 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? 18102 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. 18103 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. 18104 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? 18105 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. 18106 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. 18107 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. 18108 And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men, 18109 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. 18110 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. 18111 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. 18112 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 18113 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. 18114 And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day. 18115 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. 18116 But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying, 18117 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying, 18118 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. 18119 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah. 18120 He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa, 18121 And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam, 18122 And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph, 18123 And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah, 18124 And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities. 18125 And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine. 18126 And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side. 18127 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts. 18128 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: 18129 And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made. 18130 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. 18131 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. 18132 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; 18133 Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham. 18134 And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. 18135 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.) 18136 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king. 18137 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. 18138 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. 18139 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, 18140 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. 18141 And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem. 18142 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. 18143 Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous. 18144 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. 18145 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries. 18146 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. 18147 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. 18148 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. 18149 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. 18150 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. 18151 And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD. 18152 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. 18153 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead. 18154 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah. 18155 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. 18156 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. 18157 And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel; 18158 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? 18159 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord. 18160 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. 18161 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 your golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods. 18162 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. 18163 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: 18164 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. 18165 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. 18166 But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them. 18167 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. 18168 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. 18169 And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand. 18170 And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. 18171 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. 18172 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephraim with the towns thereof. 18173 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died. 18174 But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters. 18175 And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo. 18176 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. 18177 And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God: 18178 For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves: 18179 And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment. 18180 Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him. 18181 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. 18182 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. 18183 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. 18184 And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came unto Mareshah. 18185 Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. 18186 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 no man prevail against thee. 18187 So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. 18188 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. 18189 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. 18190 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem. 18191 And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded: 18192 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. 18193 Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law. 18194 But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them. 18195 And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries. 18196 And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity. 18197 Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded. 18198 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. 18199 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. 18200 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. 18201 And they offered unto the LORD the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep. 18202 And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul; 18203 That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. 18204 And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets. 18205 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. 18206 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. 18207 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days. 18208 And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels. 18209 And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa. 18210 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. 18211 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, 18212 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. 18213 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. 18214 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard it, that he left off building of Ramah, and let his work cease. 18215 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. 18216 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. 18217 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. 18218 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. 18219 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. 18220 And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 18221 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians. 18222 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign. 18223 And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds of spices prepared by the apothecaries' art: and they made a very great burning for him. 18224 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel. 18225 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. 18226 And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim; 18227 But sought to the Lord God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel. 18228 Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance. 18229 And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah. 18230 Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Benhail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah. 18231 And with them he sent Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests. 18232 And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people. 18233 And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat. 18234 Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats. 18235 And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store. 18236 And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem. 18237 And these are the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers: Of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the chief, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand. 18238 And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand. 18239 And next him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour. 18240 And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand. 18241 And next him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war. 18242 These waited on the king, beside those whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah. 18243 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab. 18244 And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramothgilead. 18245 And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war. 18246 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day. 18247 Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king's hand. 18248 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him? 18249 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. 18250 And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla. 18251 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. 18252 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed. 18253 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king. 18254 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of their's, and speak thou good. 18255 And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak. 18256 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. 18257 And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD? 18258 Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace. 18259 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil? 18260 Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left. 18261 And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner. 18262 Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? 18263 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. 18264 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. 18265 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? 18266 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself. 18267 Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son; 18268 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace. 18269 And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace, then hath not the LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people. 18270 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead. 18271 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and I will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle. 18272 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel. 18273 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him. 18274 For it came to pass, that, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again from pursuing him. 18275 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. 18276 And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time of the sun going down he died. 18277 And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem. 18278 And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD. 18279 Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek God. 18280 And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the people from Beersheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto the LORD God of their fathers. 18281 And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city, 18282 And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment. 18283 Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts. 18284 Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the LORD, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem. 18285 And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart. 18286 And what cause soever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in your cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the LORD, and so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass. 18287 And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king's matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and the LORD shall be with the good. 18288 It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle. 18289 Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazontamar, which is Engedi. 18290 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. 18291 And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the LORD: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD. 18292 And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court, 18293 And said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee? 18294 Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever? 18295 And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying, 18296 If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help. 18297 And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not; 18298 Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit. 18299 O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee. 18300 And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children. 18301 Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the LORD in the midst of the congregation; 18302 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's. 18303 To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel. 18304 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you. 18305 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD. 18306 And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high. 18307 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. 18308 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever. 18309 And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. 18310 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another. 18311 And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped. 18312 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much. 18313 And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day. 18314 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies. 18315 And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD. 18316 And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel. 18317 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about. 18318 And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. 18319 And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not from it, doing that which was right in the sight of the LORD. 18320 Howbeit the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers. 18321 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, who is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel. 18322 And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly: 18323 And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Eziongaber. 18324 Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish. 18325 Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead. 18326 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. 18327 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. 18328 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. 18329 Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 18330 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. 18331 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. 18332 In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king. 18333 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. 18334 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. 18335 Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah thereto. 18336 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, 18337 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: 18338 Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods: 18339 And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day. 18340 Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians: 18341 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. 18342 And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease. 18343 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. 18344 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. 18345 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. 18346 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. 18347 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly. 18348 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. 18349 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. 18350 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. 18351 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. 18352 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. 18353 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. 18354 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. 18355 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. 18356 And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land. 18357 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. 18358 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. 18359 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. 18360 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; 18361 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. 18362 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. 18363 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. 18364 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. 18365 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. 18366 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. 18367 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. 18368 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: 18369 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. 18370 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. 18371 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. 18372 And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD's people. 18373 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. 18374 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. 18375 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. 18376 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. 18377 And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword. 18378 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. 18379 And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest. 18380 And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters. 18381 And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD. 18382 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. 18383 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? 18384 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. 18385 And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD. 18386 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. 18387 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end. 18388 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. 18389 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. 18390 So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it. 18391 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. 18392 But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died. 18393 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. 18394 Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them. 18395 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. 18396 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear. 18397 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. 18398 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. 18399 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. 18400 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. 18401 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. 18402 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. 18403 And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess. 18404 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. 18405 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. 18406 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart. 18407 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father. 18408 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. 18409 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. 18410 He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver. 18411 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. 18412 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. 18413 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. 18414 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. 18415 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. 18416 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. 18417 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. 18418 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. 18419 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? 18420 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. 18421 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. 18422 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. 18423 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? 18424 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. 18425 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. 18426 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent. 18427 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. 18428 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. 18429 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years. 18430 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? 18431 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. 18432 And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah. 18433 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah. 18434 He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers. 18435 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. 18436 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did. 18437 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. 18438 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. 18439 And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gurbaal, and the Mehunims. 18440 And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly. 18441 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. 18442 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. 18443 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. 18444 The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour were two thousand and six hundred. 18445 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. 18446 And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones. 18447 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. 18448 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. 18449 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the LORD, that were valiant men: 18450 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. 18451 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. 18452 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. 18453 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. 18454 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write. 18455 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. 18456 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. 18457 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly. 18458 He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much. 18459 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers. 18460 He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both the second year, and the third. 18461 So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God. 18462 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 18463 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. 18464 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead. 18465 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father: 18466 For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim. 18467 Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel. 18468 He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. 18469 Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter. 18470 For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. 18471 And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah that was next to the king. 18472 And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria. 18473 But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the LORD God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth up unto heaven. 18474 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? 18475 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. 18476 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, 18477 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. 18478 So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation. 18479 And the men which were expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren: then they returned to Samaria. 18480 At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him. 18481 For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives. 18482 The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Bethshemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with the villages thereof, and Timnah with the villages thereof, Gimzo also and the villages thereof: and they dwelt there. 18483 For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the LORD. 18484 And Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not. 18485 For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the LORD, and out of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of Assyria: but he helped him not. 18486 And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the LORD: this is that king Ahaz. 18487 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. 18488 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. 18489 And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers. 18490 Now the rest of his acts and of all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 18491 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. 18492 Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah. 18493 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done. 18494 He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them. 18495 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the east street, 18496 And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place. 18497 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. 18498 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. 18499 Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes. 18500 For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this. 18501 Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the LORD God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us. 18502 My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense. 18503 Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites: and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah: 18504 And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah: 18505 And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel. 18506 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD. 18507 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron. 18508 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. 18509 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. 18510 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. 18511 Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD. 18512 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. 18513 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. 18514 And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them: 18515 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. 18516 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. 18517 And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets. 18518 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. 18519 And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offering was finished. 18520 And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped. 18521 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. 18522 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. 18523 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. 18524 And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep. 18525 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. 18526 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. 18527 And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly. 18528 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. 18529 For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month. 18530 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. 18531 And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation. 18532 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. 18533 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. 18534 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. 18535 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. 18536 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. 18537 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. 18538 Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem. 18539 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. 18540 And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation. 18541 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. 18542 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. 18543 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. 18544 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. 18545 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 18546 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. 18547 And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people. 18548 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. 18549 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. 18550 And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness. 18551 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. 18552 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. 18553 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. 18554 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. 18555 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. 18556 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. 18557 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. 18558 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. 18559 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. 18560 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. 18561 In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month. 18562 And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Israel. 18563 Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps. 18564 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. 18565 Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them, 18566 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. 18567 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. 18568 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. 18569 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: 18570 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; 18571 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; 18572 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: 18573 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. 18574 And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the LORD his God. 18575 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. 18576 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. 18577 And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem, 18578 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. 18579 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? 18580 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. 18581 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, 18582 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: 18583 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. 18584 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, 18585 Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem? 18586 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? 18587 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? 18588 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? 18589 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? 18590 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? 18591 And his servants spake yet more against the LORD God, and against his servant Hezekiah. 18592 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. 18593 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. 18594 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. 18595 And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven. 18596 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. 18597 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. 18598 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. 18599 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. 18600 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. 18601 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. 18602 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; 18603 Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks. 18604 Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him substance very much. 18605 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. 18606 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. 18607 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. 18608 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. 18609 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem: 18610 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. 18611 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. 18612 Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever. 18613 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD. 18614 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. 18615 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: 18616 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. 18617 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. 18618 And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken. 18619 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. 18620 And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, 18621 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. 18622 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. 18623 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. 18624 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. 18625 Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the LORD their God only. 18626 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. 18627 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. 18628 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead. 18629 Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem. 18630 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; 18631 And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more. 18632 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house. 18633 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. 18634 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years. 18635 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. 18636 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. 18637 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. 18638 And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem. 18639 And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks round about. 18640 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. 18641 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. 18642 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. 18643 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: 18644 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. 18645 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. 18646 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. 18647 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. 18648 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. 18649 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. 18650 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. 18651 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king. 18652 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes. 18653 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, 18654 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. 18655 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. 18656 And she answered them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me, 18657 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: 18658 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. 18659 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; 18660 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. 18661 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. 18662 Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. 18663 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. 18664 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. 18665 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. 18666 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. 18667 Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. 18668 And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the LORD, 18669 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, 18670 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. 18671 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. 18672 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. 18673 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. 18674 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. 18675 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. 18676 So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the king's commandment. 18677 And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites flayed them. 18678 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. 18679 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. 18680 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. 18681 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. 18682 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. 18683 And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days. 18684 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. 18685 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept. 18686 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. 18687 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. 18688 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. 18689 And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded. 18690 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. 18691 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. 18692 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to that which was written in the law of the LORD, 18693 And his deeds, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 18694 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem. 18695 Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. 18696 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. 18697 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. 18698 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. 18699 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon. 18700 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon. 18701 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. 18702 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. 18703 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. 18704 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. 18705 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. 18706 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. 18707 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. 18708 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: 18709 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. 18710 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. 18711 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. 18712 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. 18713 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: 18714 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. 18715 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, 18716 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. 18717 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, 18718 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. 18719 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. 18720 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. 18721 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. 18722 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. 18723 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; 18724 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. 18725 And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives, 18726 Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand. 18727 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. 18728 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; 18729 Which came with Zerubbabel: Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mizpar, Bigvai, Rehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel: 18730 The children of Parosh, two thousand an hundred seventy and two. 18731 The children of Shephatiah, three hundred seventy and two. 18732 The children of Arah, seven hundred seventy and five. 18733 The children of Pahathmoab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand eight hundred and twelve. 18734 The children of Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four. 18735 The children of Zattu, nine hundred forty and five. 18736 The children of Zaccai, seven hundred and threescore. 18737 The children of Bani, six hundred forty and two. 18738 The children of Bebai, six hundred twenty and three. 18739 The children of Azgad, a thousand two hundred twenty and two. 18740 The children of Adonikam, six hundred sixty and six. 18741 The children of Bigvai, two thousand fifty and six. 18742 The children of Adin, four hundred fifty and four. 18743 The children of Ater of Hezekiah, ninety and eight. 18744 The children of Bezai, three hundred twenty and three. 18745 The children of Jorah, an hundred and twelve. 18746 The children of Hashum, two hundred twenty and three. 18747 The children of Gibbar, ninety and five. 18748 The children of Bethlehem, an hundred twenty and three. 18749 The men of Netophah, fifty and six. 18750 The men of Anathoth, an hundred twenty and eight. 18751 The children of Azmaveth, forty and two. 18752 The children of Kirjatharim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred and forty and three. 18753 The children of Ramah and Gaba, six hundred twenty and one. 18754 The men of Michmas, an hundred twenty and two. 18755 The men of Bethel and Ai, two hundred twenty and three. 18756 The children of Nebo, fifty and two. 18757 The children of Magbish, an hundred fifty and six. 18758 The children of the other Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four. 18759 The children of Harim, three hundred and twenty. 18760 The children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred twenty and five. 18761 The children of Jericho, three hundred forty and five. 18762 The children of Senaah, three thousand and six hundred and thirty. 18763 The priests: the children of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred seventy and three. 18764 The children of Immer, a thousand fifty and two. 18765 The children of Pashur, a thousand two hundred forty and seven. 18766 The children of Harim, a thousand and seventeen. 18767 The Levites: the children of Jeshua and Kadmiel, of the children of Hodaviah, seventy and four. 18768 The singers: the children of Asaph, an hundred twenty and eight. 18769 The children of the porters: the children of Shallum, the children of Ater, the children of Talmon, the children of Akkub, the children of Hatita, the children of Shobai, in all an hundred thirty and nine. 18770 The Nethinims: the children of Ziha, the children of Hasupha, the children of Tabbaoth, 18771 The children of Keros, the children of Siaha, the children of Padon, 18772 The children of Lebanah, the children of Hagabah, the children of Akkub, 18773 The children of Hagab, the children of Shalmai, the children of Hanan, 18774 The children of Giddel, the children of Gahar, the children of Reaiah, 18775 The children of Rezin, the children of Nekoda, the children of Gazzam, 18776 The children of Uzza, the children of Paseah, the children of Besai, 18777 The children of Asnah, the children of Mehunim, the children of Nephusim, 18778 The children of Bakbuk, the children of Hakupha, the children of Harhur, 18779 The children of Bazluth, the children of Mehida, the children of Harsha, 18780 The children of Barkos, the children of Sisera, the children of Thamah, 18781 The children of Neziah, the children of Hatipha. 18782 The children of Solomon's servants: the children of Sotai, the children of Sophereth, the children of Peruda, 18783 The children of Jaalah, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel, 18784 The children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the children of Pochereth of Zebaim, the children of Ami. 18785 All the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's servants, were three hundred ninety and two. 18786 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: 18787 The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred fifty and two. 18788 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: 18789 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. 18790 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. 18791 The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore, 18792 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. 18793 Their horses were seven hundred thirty and six; their mules, two hundred forty and five; 18794 Their camels, four hundred thirty and five; their asses, six thousand seven hundred and twenty. 18795 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: 18796 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. 18797 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. 18798 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. 18799 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. 18800 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. 18801 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; 18802 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. 18803 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. 18804 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. 18805 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. 18806 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. 18807 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. 18808 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. 18809 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: 18810 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. 18811 Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity builded the temple unto the LORD God of Israel; 18812 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. 18813 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. 18814 Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building, 18815 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. 18816 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. 18817 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. 18818 Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this sort: 18819 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, 18820 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. 18821 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. 18822 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. 18823 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. 18824 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; 18825 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. 18826 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. 18827 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. 18828 The letter which ye sent unto us hath been plainly read before me. 18829 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. 18830 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. 18831 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. 18832 Take heed now that ye fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings? 18833 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. 18834 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. 18835 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. 18836 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. 18837 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? 18838 Then said we unto them after this manner, What are the names of the men that make this building? 18839 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. 18840 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: 18841 They sent a letter unto him, wherein was written thus; Unto Darius the king, all peace. 18842 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. 18843 Then asked we those elders, and said unto them thus, Who commanded you to build this house, and to make up these walls? 18844 We asked their names also, to certify thee, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief of them. 18845 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. 18846 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. 18847 But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon the same king Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God. 18848 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; 18849 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. 18850 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. 18851 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. 18852 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. 18853 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: 18854 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; 18855 With three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king's house: 18856 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. 18857 Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shetharboznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which are beyond the river, be ye far from thence: 18858 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. 18859 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. 18860 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: 18861 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. 18862 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. 18863 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. 18864 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. 18865 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. 18866 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. 18867 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. 18868 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. 18869 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. 18870 And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month. 18871 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. 18872 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, 18873 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. 18874 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, 18875 The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub, 18876 The son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth, 18877 The son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki, 18878 The son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest: 18879 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. 18880 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. 18881 And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king. 18882 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. 18883 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. 18884 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. 18885 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. 18886 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. 18887 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; 18888 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, 18889 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: 18890 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. 18891 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. 18892 The vessels also that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, those deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem. 18893 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. 18894 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, 18895 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. 18896 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? 18897 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. 18898 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. 18899 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. 18900 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: 18901 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. 18902 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. 18903 Of the sons of Phinehas; Gershom: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; Hattush. 18904 Of the sons of Shechaniah, of the sons of Pharosh; Zechariah: and with him were reckoned by genealogy of the males an hundred and fifty. 18905 Of the sons of Pahathmoab; Elihoenai the son of Zerahiah, and with him two hundred males. 18906 Of the sons of Shechaniah; the son of Jahaziel, and with him three hundred males. 18907 Of the sons also of Adin; Ebed the son of Jonathan, and with him fifty males. 18908 And of the sons of Elam; Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah, and with him seventy males. 18909 And of the sons of Shephatiah; Zebadiah the son of Michael, and with him fourscore males. 18910 Of the sons of Joab; Obadiah the son of Jehiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males. 18911 And of the sons of Shelomith; the son of Josiphiah, and with him an hundred and threescore males. 18912 And of the sons of Bebai; Zechariah the son of Bebai, and with him twenty and eight males. 18913 And of the sons of Azgad; Johanan the son of Hakkatan, and with him an hundred and ten males. 18914 And of the last sons of Adonikam, whose names are these, Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them threescore males. 18915 Of the sons also of Bigvai; Uthai, and Zabbud, and with them seventy males. 18916 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. 18917 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. 18918 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. 18919 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; 18920 And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty; 18921 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. 18922 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. 18923 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. 18924 So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us. 18925 Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them, 18926 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: 18927 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; 18928 Also twenty basons of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold. 18929 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. 18930 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. 18931 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. 18932 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. 18933 And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days. 18934 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; 18935 By number and by weight of every one: and all the weight was written at that time. 18936 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. 18937 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. 18938 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. 18939 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. 18940 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. 18941 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. 18942 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, 18943 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. 18944 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. 18945 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. 18946 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. 18947 And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments, 18948 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. 18949 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. 18950 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; 18951 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? 18952 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. 18953 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. 18954 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. 18955 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. 18956 Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it. 18957 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. 18958 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. 18959 And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem; 18960 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. 18961 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. 18962 And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel. 18963 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. 18964 Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do. 18965 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. 18966 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. 18967 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. 18968 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. 18969 And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month. 18970 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. 18971 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. 18972 And of the sons of Immer; Hanani, and Zebadiah. 18973 And of the sons of Harim; Maaseiah, and Elijah, and Shemaiah, and Jehiel, and Uzziah. 18974 And of the sons of Pashur; Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethaneel, Jozabad, and Elasah. 18975 Also of the Levites; Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah, (the same is Kelita,) Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer. 18976 Of the singers also; Eliashib: and of the porters; Shallum, and Telem, and Uri. 18977 Moreover of Israel: of the sons of Parosh; Ramiah, and Jeziah, and Malchiah, and Miamin, and Eleazar, and Malchijah, and Benaiah. 18978 And of the sons of Elam; Mattaniah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, and Abdi, and Jeremoth, and Eliah. 18979 And of the sons of Zattu; Elioenai, Eliashib, Mattaniah, and Jeremoth, and Zabad, and Aziza. 18980 Of the sons also of Bebai; Jehohanan, Hananiah, Zabbai, and Athlai. 18981 And of the sons of Bani; Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah, Jashub, and Sheal, and Ramoth. 18982 And of the sons of Pahathmoab; Adna, and Chelal, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattaniah, Bezaleel, and Binnui, and Manasseh. 18983 And of the sons of Harim; Eliezer, Ishijah, Malchiah, Shemaiah, Shimeon, 18984 Benjamin, Malluch, and Shemariah. 18985 Of the sons of Hashum; Mattenai, Mattathah, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh, and Shimei. 18986 Of the sons of Bani; Maadai, Amram, and Uel, 18987 Benaiah, Bedeiah, Chelluh, 18988 Vaniah, Meremoth, Eliashib, 18989 Mattaniah, Mattenai, and Jaasau, 18990 And Bani, and Binnui, Shimei, 18991 And Shelemiah, and Nathan, and Adaiah, 18992 Machnadebai, Shashai, Sharai, 18993 Azareel, and Shelemiah, Shemariah, 18994 Shallum, Amariah, and Joseph. 18995 Of the sons of Nebo; Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Jadau, and Joel, Benaiah. 18996 All these had taken strange wives: and some of them had wives by whom they had children. 18997 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, 18998 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. 18999 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. 19000 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, 19001 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: 19002 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. 19003 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. 19004 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations: 19005 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. 19006 Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand. 19007 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. 19008 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. 19009 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, 19010 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? 19011 Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven. 19012 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. 19013 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. 19014 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; 19015 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. 19016 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. 19017 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. 19018 So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days. 19019 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. 19020 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. 19021 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. 19022 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. 19023 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. 19024 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. 19025 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. 19026 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? 19027 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. 19028 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. 19029 And next unto him builded the men of Jericho. And next to them builded Zaccur the son of Imri. 19030 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. 19031 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. 19032 And next unto them the Tekoites repaired; but their nobles put not their necks to the work of their LORD. 19033 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. 19034 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. 19035 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. 19036 And next unto them repaired Rephaiah the son of Hur, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem. 19037 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. 19038 Malchijah the son of Harim, and Hashub the son of Pahathmoab, repaired the other piece, and the tower of the furnaces. 19039 And next unto him repaired Shallum the son of Halohesh, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem, he and his daughters. 19040 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. 19041 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. 19042 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. 19043 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. 19044 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. 19045 After him repaired their brethren, Bavai the son of Henadad, the ruler of the half part of Keilah. 19046 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. 19047 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. 19048 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. 19049 And after him repaired the priests, the men of the plain. 19050 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. 19051 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. 19052 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. 19053 Moreover the Nethinims dwelt in Ophel, unto the place over against the water gate toward the east, and the tower that lieth out. 19054 After them the Tekoites repaired another piece, over against the great tower that lieth out, even unto the wall of Ophel. 19055 From above the horse gate repaired the priests, every one over against his house. 19056 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. 19057 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. 19058 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. 19059 And between the going up of the corner unto the sheep gate repaired the goldsmiths and the merchants. 19060 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. 19061 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? 19062 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. 19063 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: 19064 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. 19065 So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work. 19066 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, 19067 And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it. 19068 Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them. 19069 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. 19070 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. 19071 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. 19072 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. 19073 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. 19074 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. 19075 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. 19076 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. 19077 For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me. 19078 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. 19079 In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us. 19080 So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared. 19081 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. 19082 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. 19083 And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews. 19084 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. 19085 Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth. 19086 There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards. 19087 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. 19088 And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words. 19089 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. 19090 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. 19091 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? 19092 I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury. 19093 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. 19094 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. 19095 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. 19096 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. 19097 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. 19098 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. 19099 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. 19100 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. 19101 Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people. 19102 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;) 19103 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. 19104 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? 19105 Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner. 19106 Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand; 19107 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. 19108 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. 19109 Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart. 19110 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. 19111 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. 19112 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. 19113 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. 19114 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. 19115 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. 19116 So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days. 19117 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. 19118 Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them. 19119 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. 19120 Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear. 19121 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, 19122 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. 19123 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. 19124 Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded. 19125 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, 19126 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; 19127 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; 19128 The children of Parosh, two thousand an hundred seventy and two. 19129 The children of Shephatiah, three hundred seventy and two. 19130 The children of Arah, six hundred fifty and two. 19131 The children of Pahathmoab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand and eight hundred and eighteen. 19132 The children of Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four. 19133 The children of Zattu, eight hundred forty and five. 19134 The children of Zaccai, seven hundred and threescore. 19135 The children of Binnui, six hundred forty and eight. 19136 The children of Bebai, six hundred twenty and eight. 19137 The children of Azgad, two thousand three hundred twenty and two. 19138 The children of Adonikam, six hundred threescore and seven. 19139 The children of Bigvai, two thousand threescore and seven. 19140 The children of Adin, six hundred fifty and five. 19141 The children of Ater of Hezekiah, ninety and eight. 19142 The children of Hashum, three hundred twenty and eight. 19143 The children of Bezai, three hundred twenty and four. 19144 The children of Hariph, an hundred and twelve. 19145 The children of Gibeon, ninety and five. 19146 The men of Bethlehem and Netophah, an hundred fourscore and eight. 19147 The men of Anathoth, an hundred twenty and eight. 19148 The men of Bethazmaveth, forty and two. 19149 The men of Kirjathjearim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred forty and three. 19150 The men of Ramah and Gaba, six hundred twenty and one. 19151 The men of Michmas, an hundred and twenty and two. 19152 The men of Bethel and Ai, an hundred twenty and three. 19153 The men of the other Nebo, fifty and two. 19154 The children of the other Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four. 19155 The children of Harim, three hundred and twenty. 19156 The children of Jericho, three hundred forty and five. 19157 The children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred twenty and one. 19158 The children of Senaah, three thousand nine hundred and thirty. 19159 The priests: the children of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred seventy and three. 19160 The children of Immer, a thousand fifty and two. 19161 The children of Pashur, a thousand two hundred forty and seven. 19162 The children of Harim, a thousand and seventeen. 19163 The Levites: the children of Jeshua, of Kadmiel, and of the children of Hodevah, seventy and four. 19164 The singers: the children of Asaph, an hundred forty and eight. 19165 The porters: the children of Shallum, the children of Ater, the children of Talmon, the children of Akkub, the children of Hatita, the children of Shobai, an hundred thirty and eight. 19166 The Nethinims: the children of Ziha, the children of Hashupha, the children of Tabbaoth, 19167 The children of Keros, the children of Sia, the children of Padon, 19168 The children of Lebana, the children of Hagaba, the children of Shalmai, 19169 The children of Hanan, the children of Giddel, the children of Gahar, 19170 The children of Reaiah, the children of Rezin, the children of Nekoda, 19171 The children of Gazzam, the children of Uzza, the children of Phaseah, 19172 The children of Besai, the children of Meunim, the children of Nephishesim, 19173 The children of Bakbuk, the children of Hakupha, the children of Harhur, 19174 The children of Bazlith, the children of Mehida, the children of Harsha, 19175 The children of Barkos, the children of Sisera, the children of Tamah, 19176 The children of Neziah, the children of Hatipha. 19177 The children of Solomon's servants: the children of Sotai, the children of Sophereth, the children of Perida, 19178 The children of Jaala, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel, 19179 The children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the children of Pochereth of Zebaim, the children of Amon. 19180 All the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's servants, were three hundred ninety and two. 19181 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. 19182 The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred forty and two. 19183 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. 19184 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. 19185 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. 19186 The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore, 19187 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. 19188 Their horses, seven hundred thirty and six: their mules, two hundred forty and five: 19189 Their camels, four hundred thirty and five: six thousand seven hundred and twenty asses. 19190 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. 19191 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. 19192 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. 19193 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. 19194 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. 19195 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. 19196 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. 19197 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. 19198 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: 19199 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. 19200 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. 19201 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. 19202 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. 19203 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. 19204 So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved. 19205 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. 19206 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. 19207 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: 19208 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. 19209 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. 19210 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. 19211 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. 19212 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. 19213 And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers. 19214 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. 19215 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. 19216 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. 19217 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. 19218 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; 19219 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: 19220 And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red sea; 19221 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. 19222 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. 19223 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. 19224 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: 19225 And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant: 19226 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. 19227 But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments, 19228 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. 19229 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; 19230 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. 19231 Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst. 19232 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. 19233 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. 19234 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. 19235 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. 19236 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. 19237 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. 19238 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. 19239 But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the land 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; 19240 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. 19241 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. 19242 Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God. 19243 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. 19244 Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly: 19245 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. 19246 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. 19247 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: 19248 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. 19249 And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto it. 19250 Now those that sealed were, Nehemiah, the Tirshatha, the son of Hachaliah, and Zidkijah, 19251 Seraiah, Azariah, Jeremiah, 19252 Pashur, Amariah, Malchijah, 19253 Hattush, Shebaniah, Malluch, 19254 Harim, Meremoth, Obadiah, 19255 Daniel, Ginnethon, Baruch, 19256 Meshullam, Abijah, Mijamin, 19257 Maaziah, Bilgai, Shemaiah: these were the priests. 19258 And the Levites: both Jeshua the son of Azaniah, Binnui of the sons of Henadad, Kadmiel; 19259 And their brethren, Shebaniah, Hodijah, Kelita, Pelaiah, Hanan, 19260 Micha, Rehob, Hashabiah, 19261 Zaccur, Sherebiah, Shebaniah, 19262 Hodijah, Bani, Beninu. 19263 The chief of the people; Parosh, Pahathmoab, Elam, Zatthu, Bani, 19264 Bunni, Azgad, Bebai, 19265 Adonijah, Bigvai, Adin, 19266 Ater, Hizkijah, Azzur, 19267 Hodijah, Hashum, Bezai, 19268 Hariph, Anathoth, Nebai, 19269 Magpiash, Meshullam, Hezir, 19270 Meshezabeel, Zadok, Jaddua, 19271 Pelatiah, Hanan, Anaiah, 19272 Hoshea, Hananiah, Hashub, 19273 Hallohesh, Pileha, Shobek, 19274 Rehum, Hashabnah, Maaseiah, 19275 And Ahijah, Hanan, Anan, 19276 Malluch, Harim, Baanah. 19277 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; 19278 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; 19279 And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of the land, not take their daughters for our sons: 19280 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. 19281 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; 19282 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. 19283 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: 19284 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: 19285 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: 19286 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. 19287 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. 19288 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. 19289 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. 19290 And the people blessed all the men, that willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem. 19291 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. 19292 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; 19293 And Maaseiah the son of Baruch, the son of Colhozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of Shiloni. 19294 All the sons of Perez that dwelt at Jerusalem were four hundred threescore and eight valiant men. 19295 And these are the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jesaiah. 19296 And after him Gabbai, Sallai, nine hundred twenty and eight. 19297 And Joel the son of Zichri was their overseer: and Judah the son of Senuah was second over the city. 19298 Of the priests: Jedaiah the son of Joiarib, Jachin. 19299 Seraiah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, was the ruler of the house of God. 19300 And their brethren that did the work of the house were eight hundred twenty and two: and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchiah. 19301 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, 19302 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. 19303 Also of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hashub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni; 19304 And Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the chief of the Levites, had the oversight of the outward business of the house of God. 19305 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. 19306 All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred fourscore and four. 19307 Moreover the porters, Akkub, Talmon, and their brethren that kept the gates, were an hundred seventy and two. 19308 And the residue of Israel, of the priests, and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inheritance. 19309 But the Nethinims dwelt in Ophel: and Ziha and Gispa were over the Nethinims. 19310 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. 19311 For it was the king's commandment concerning them, that a certain portion should be for the singers, due for every day. 19312 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. 19313 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, 19314 And at Jeshua, and at Moladah, and at Bethphelet, 19315 And at Hazarshual, and at Beersheba, and in the villages thereof, 19316 And at Ziklag, and at Mekonah, and in the villages thereof, 19317 And at Enrimmon, and at Zareah, and at Jarmuth, 19318 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. 19319 The children also of Benjamin from Geba dwelt at Michmash, and Aija, and Bethel, and in their villages. 19320 And at Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah, 19321 Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim, 19322 Hadid, Zeboim, Neballat, 19323 Lod, and Ono, the valley of craftsmen. 19324 And of the Levites were divisions in Judah, and in Benjamin. 19325 Now these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra, 19326 Amariah, Malluch, Hattush, 19327 Shechaniah, Rehum, Meremoth, 19328 Iddo, Ginnetho, Abijah, 19329 Miamin, Maadiah, Bilgah, 19330 Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah, 19331 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chief of the priests and of their brethren in the days of Jeshua. 19332 Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, which was over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren. 19333 Also Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, were over against them in the watches. 19334 And Jeshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim also begat Eliashib, and Eliashib begat Joiada, 19335 And Joiada begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat Jaddua. 19336 And in the days of Joiakim were priests, the chief of the fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah; 19337 Of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan; 19338 Of Melicu, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph; 19339 Of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai; 19340 Of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam; 19341 Of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin, of Moadiah, Piltai: 19342 Of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan; 19343 And of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi; 19344 Of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber; 19345 Of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethaneel. 19346 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. 19347 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. 19348 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. 19349 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the ward at the thresholds of the gates. 19350 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. 19351 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. 19352 And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi; 19353 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. 19354 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall. 19355 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: 19356 And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah, 19357 And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam, 19358 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah, 19359 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: 19360 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. 19361 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. 19362 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; 19363 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. 19364 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: 19365 And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets; 19366 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. 19367 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. 19368 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. 19369 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. 19370 For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God. 19371 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. 19372 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; 19373 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. 19374 Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude. 19375 And before this, Eliashib the priest, having the oversight of the chamber of the house of our God, was allied unto Tobiah: 19376 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. 19377 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: 19378 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. 19379 And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff to Tobiah out of the chamber. 19380 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. 19381 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. 19382 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. 19383 Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries. 19384 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. 19385 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. 19386 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. 19387 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. 19388 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? 19389 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. 19390 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. 19391 So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice. 19392 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. 19393 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. 19394 In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab: 19395 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. 19396 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. 19397 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. 19398 Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives? 19399 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. 19400 Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites. 19401 Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business; 19402 And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good. 19403 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:) 19404 That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace, 19405 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: 19406 When he shewed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and fourscore days. 19407 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; 19408 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. 19409 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. 19410 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. 19411 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus. 19412 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, 19413 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. 19414 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. 19415 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: 19416 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;) 19417 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? 19418 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. 19419 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. 19420 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. 19421 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. 19422 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. 19423 And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan: 19424 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. 19425 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. 19426 Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king: 19427 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: 19428 And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so. 19429 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; 19430 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. 19431 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. 19432 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. 19433 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. 19434 Esther had not shewed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not shew it. 19435 And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of her. 19436 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;) 19437 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. 19438 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. 19439 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. 19440 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. 19441 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. 19442 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. 19443 And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai sat in the king's gate. 19444 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. 19445 In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus. 19446 And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king thereof in Mordecai's name. 19447 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. 19448 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. 19449 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. 19450 Then the king's servants, which were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment? 19451 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. 19452 And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath. 19453 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. 19454 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. 19455 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. 19456 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. 19457 And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy. 19458 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. 19459 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. 19460 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. 19461 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. 19462 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. 19463 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; 19464 And came even before the king's gate: for none might enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth. 19465 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. 19466 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. 19467 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. 19468 So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the king's gate. 19469 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. 19470 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. 19471 And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai. 19472 Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai; 19473 All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or women, 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. 19474 And they told to Mordecai Esther's words. 19475 Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews. 19476 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? 19477 Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer, 19478 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. 19479 So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him. 19480 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. 19481 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. 19482 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. 19483 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. 19484 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. 19485 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. 19486 Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is; 19487 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. 19488 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. 19489 Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife. 19490 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. 19491 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. 19492 Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate. 19493 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. 19494 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. 19495 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. 19496 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. 19497 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. 19498 And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in. 19499 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? 19500 And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour, 19501 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: 19502 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. 19503 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. 19504 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. 19505 And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered. 19506 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. 19507 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. 19508 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen. 19509 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. 19510 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: 19511 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. 19512 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? 19513 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen. 19514 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. 19515 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 king's mouth, they covered Haman's face. 19516 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon. 19517 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified. 19518 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. 19519 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. 19520 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. 19521 Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king, 19522 And said, If it please the king, and if I have 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: 19523 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? 19524 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. 19525 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. 19526 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. 19527 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: 19528 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, 19529 Upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar. 19530 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. 19531 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. 19532 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. 19533 The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour. 19534 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. 19535 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;) 19536 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. 19537 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. 19538 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. 19539 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. 19540 And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men. 19541 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha, 19542 And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha, 19543 And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha, 19544 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. 19545 On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king. 19546 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. 19547 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. 19548 And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons. 19549 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. 19550 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, 19551 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. 19552 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. 19553 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. 19554 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, 19555 To stablish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly, 19556 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. 19557 And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them; 19558 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; 19559 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. 19560 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, 19561 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; 19562 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. 19563 Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim. 19564 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, 19565 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. 19566 And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book. 19567 And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea. 19568 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? 19569 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. 19570 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. 19571 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters. 19572 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. 19573 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. 19574 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. 19575 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. 19576 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. 19577 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? 19578 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? 19579 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. 19580 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. 19581 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. 19582 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: 19583 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them: 19584 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. 19585 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. 19586 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. 19587 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: 19588 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. 19589 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, 19590 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. 19591 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. 19592 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. 19593 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. 19594 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. 19595 And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. 19596 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. 19597 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life. 19598 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. 19599 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes. 19600 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. 19601 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. 19602 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. 19603 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. 19604 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. 19605 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. 19606 And Job spake, and said, 19607 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived. 19608 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. 19609 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. 19610 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. 19611 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein. 19612 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning. 19613 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: 19614 Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes. 19615 Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? 19616 Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck? 19617 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest, 19618 With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate places for themselves; 19619 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: 19620 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light. 19621 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. 19622 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. 19623 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master. 19624 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; 19625 Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; 19626 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave? 19627 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? 19628 For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. 19629 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. 19630 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came. 19631 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, 19632 If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking? 19633 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands. 19634 Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees. 19635 But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled. 19636 Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways? 19637 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off? 19638 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. 19639 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed. 19640 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken. 19641 The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad. 19642 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof. 19643 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men, 19644 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake. 19645 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up: 19646 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, 19647 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker? 19648 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly: 19649 How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth? 19650 They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it. 19651 Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom. 19652 Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn? 19653 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one. 19654 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation. 19655 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them. 19656 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance. 19657 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; 19658 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. 19659 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: 19660 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number: 19661 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields: 19662 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety. 19663 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. 19664 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong. 19665 They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night. 19666 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. 19667 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth. 19668 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: 19669 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole. 19670 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. 19671 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword. 19672 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh. 19673 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth. 19674 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. 19675 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin. 19676 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth. 19677 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season. 19678 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good. 19679 But Job answered and said, 19680 Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together! 19681 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up. 19682 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. 19683 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder? 19684 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg? 19685 The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat. 19686 Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for! 19687 Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off! 19688 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. 19689 What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life? 19690 Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass? 19691 Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me? 19692 To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty. 19693 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away; 19694 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid: 19695 What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place. 19696 The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish. 19697 The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them. 19698 They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed. 19699 For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid. 19700 Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance? 19701 Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty? 19702 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred. 19703 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove? 19704 Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind? 19705 Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend. 19706 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie. 19707 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it. 19708 Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things? 19709 Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling? 19710 As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work: 19711 So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me. 19712 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. 19713 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome. 19714 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope. 19715 O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good. 19716 The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not. 19717 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. 19718 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more. 19719 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. 19720 Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me? 19721 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaints; 19722 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions: 19723 So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life. 19724 I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity. 19725 What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him? 19726 And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment? 19727 How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle? 19728 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? 19729 And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be. 19730 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, 19731 How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind? 19732 Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice? 19733 If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression; 19734 If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty; 19735 If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous. 19736 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase. 19737 For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers: 19738 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:) 19739 Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart? 19740 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water? 19741 Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb. 19742 So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish: 19743 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web. 19744 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure. 19745 He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden. 19746 His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones. 19747 If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee. 19748 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow. 19749 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers: 19750 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing. 19751 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought. 19752 Then Job answered and said, 19753 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? 19754 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand. 19755 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered? 19756 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger. 19757 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. 19758 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. 19759 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. 19760 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. 19761 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number. 19762 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not. 19763 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou? 19764 If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him. 19765 How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him? 19766 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge. 19767 If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice. 19768 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. 19769 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness. 19770 If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead? 19771 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse. 19772 Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life. 19773 This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked. 19774 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent. 19775 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? 19776 Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good. 19777 They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey. 19778 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself: 19779 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent. 19780 If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain? 19781 If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean; 19782 Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me. 19783 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment. 19784 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both. 19785 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me: 19786 Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me. 19787 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. 19788 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me. 19789 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? 19790 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth? 19791 Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days, 19792 That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin? 19793 Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand. 19794 Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me. 19795 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again? 19796 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese? 19797 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews. 19798 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. 19799 And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee. 19800 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity. 19801 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; 19802 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me. 19803 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me. 19804 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! 19805 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave. 19806 Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little, 19807 Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; 19808 A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness. 19809 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said, 19810 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified? 19811 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed? 19812 For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes. 19813 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee; 19814 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. 19815 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? 19816 It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? 19817 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea. 19818 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him? 19819 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it? 19820 For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt. 19821 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him; 19822 If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles. 19823 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear: 19824 Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away: 19825 And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning. 19826 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety. 19827 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee. 19828 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. 19829 And Job answered and said, 19830 No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you. 19831 But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these? 19832 I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn. 19833 He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease. 19834 The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly. 19835 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: 19836 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. 19837 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this? 19838 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. 19839 Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat? 19840 With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. 19841 With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding. 19842 Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening. 19843 Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth. 19844 With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his. 19845 He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools. 19846 He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle. 19847 He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty. 19848 He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged. 19849 He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty. 19850 He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death. 19851 He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again. 19852 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. 19853 They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man. 19854 Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it. 19855 What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you. 19856 Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God. 19857 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value. 19858 O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom. 19859 Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips. 19860 Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him? 19861 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God? 19862 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him? 19863 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons. 19864 Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you? 19865 Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay. 19866 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will. 19867 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand? 19868 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him. 19869 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him. 19870 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears. 19871 Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified. 19872 Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost. 19873 Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee. 19874 Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid. 19875 Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me. 19876 How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin. 19877 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy? 19878 Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble? 19879 For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth. 19880 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. 19881 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten. 19882 Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. 19883 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. 19884 And doth thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee? 19885 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. 19886 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; 19887 Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day. 19888 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. 19889 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; 19890 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. 19891 But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? 19892 As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: 19893 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. 19894 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! 19895 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. 19896 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands. 19897 For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin? 19898 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity. 19899 And surely the mountains falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place. 19900 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. 19901 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away. 19902 His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them. 19903 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn. 19904 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said, 19905 Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind? 19906 Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good? 19907 Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God. 19908 For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty. 19909 Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee. 19910 Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills? 19911 Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself? 19912 What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us? 19913 With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father. 19914 Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee? 19915 Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at, 19916 That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth? 19917 What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous? 19918 Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight. 19919 How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water? 19920 I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare; 19921 Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it: 19922 Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them. 19923 The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor. 19924 A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him. 19925 He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword. 19926 He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand. 19927 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle. 19928 For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty. 19929 He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers: 19930 Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks. 19931 And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps. 19932 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth. 19933 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. 19934 Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence. 19935 It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green. 19936 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive. 19937 For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery. 19938 They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit. 19939 Then Job answered and said, 19940 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all. 19941 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest? 19942 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. 19943 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief. 19944 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased? 19945 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company. 19946 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. 19947 He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me. 19948 They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me. 19949 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked. 19950 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. 19951 His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground. 19952 He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant. 19953 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust. 19954 My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death; 19955 Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure. 19956 O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place. 19957 Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high. 19958 My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God. 19959 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour! 19960 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return. 19961 My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me. 19962 Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation? 19963 Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me? 19964 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them. 19965 He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail. 19966 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret. 19967 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow. 19968 Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite. 19969 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. 19970 But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you. 19971 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart. 19972 They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness. 19973 If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness. 19974 I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister. 19975 And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it? 19976 They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust. 19977 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, 19978 How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak. 19979 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight? 19980 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place? 19981 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine. 19982 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him. 19983 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down. 19984 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare. 19985 The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him. 19986 The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way. 19987 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet. 19988 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side. 19989 It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength. 19990 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors. 19991 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation. 19992 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off. 19993 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street. 19994 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world. 19995 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings. 19996 They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted. 19997 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God. 19998 Then Job answered and said, 19999 How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words? 20000 These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me. 20001 And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself. 20002 If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach: 20003 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net. 20004 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment. 20005 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths. 20006 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. 20007 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree. 20008 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies. 20009 His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle. 20010 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me. 20011 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. 20012 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. 20013 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth. 20014 My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body. 20015 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me. 20016 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me. 20017 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. 20018 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me. 20019 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh? 20020 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book! 20021 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever! 20022 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: 20023 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: 20024 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. 20025 But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me? 20026 Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment. 20027 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said, 20028 Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste. 20029 I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer. 20030 Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth, 20031 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment? 20032 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds; 20033 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he? 20034 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night. 20035 The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him. 20036 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods. 20037 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust. 20038 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue; 20039 Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth: 20040 Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him. 20041 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly. 20042 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him. 20043 He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter. 20044 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. 20045 Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not; 20046 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired. 20047 There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods. 20048 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him. 20049 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. 20050 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through. 20051 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him. 20052 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. 20053 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him. 20054 The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath. 20055 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God. 20056 But Job answered and said, 20057 Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations. 20058 Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on. 20059 As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled? 20060 Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth. 20061 Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh. 20062 Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power? 20063 Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes. 20064 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them. 20065 Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf. 20066 They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance. 20067 They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ. 20068 They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. 20069 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. 20070 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him? 20071 Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me. 20072 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger. 20073 They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away. 20074 God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it. 20075 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty. 20076 For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst? 20077 Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high. 20078 One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet. 20079 His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow. 20080 And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure. 20081 They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them. 20082 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me. 20083 For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked? 20084 Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens, 20085 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath. 20086 Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done? 20087 Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb. 20088 The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him. 20089 How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood? 20090 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, 20091 Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself? 20092 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect? 20093 Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment? 20094 Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite? 20095 For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing. 20096 Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry. 20097 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it. 20098 Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken. 20099 Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee; 20100 Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee. 20101 Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are! 20102 And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud? 20103 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven. 20104 Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden? 20105 Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood: 20106 Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them? 20107 Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me. 20108 The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn. 20109 Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth. 20110 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. 20111 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. 20112 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. 20113 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. 20114 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. 20115 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. 20116 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. 20117 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. 20118 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person. 20119 He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands. 20120 Then Job answered and said, 20121 Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. 20122 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat! 20123 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. 20124 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me. 20125 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me. 20126 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge. 20127 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: 20128 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: 20129 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. 20130 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. 20131 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. 20132 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth. 20133 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him. 20134 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him. 20135 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me: 20136 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face. 20137 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days? 20138 Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof. 20139 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge. 20140 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together. 20141 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. 20142 They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked. 20143 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold. 20144 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter. 20145 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor. 20146 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry; 20147 Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst. 20148 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them. 20149 They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof. 20150 The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief. 20151 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face. 20152 In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light. 20153 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. 20154 He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards. 20155 Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned. 20156 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. 20157 He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow. 20158 He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life. 20159 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways. 20160 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. 20161 And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth? 20162 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, 20163 Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places. 20164 Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise? 20165 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman? 20166 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight. 20167 How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm? 20168 But Job answered and said, 20169 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength? 20170 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is? 20171 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee? 20172 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof. 20173 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. 20174 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. 20175 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. 20176 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it. 20177 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end. 20178 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof. 20179 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud. 20180 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. 20181 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? 20182 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, 20183 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul; 20184 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; 20185 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. 20186 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. 20187 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live. 20188 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous. 20189 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul? 20190 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? 20191 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God? 20192 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal. 20193 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain? 20194 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty. 20195 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. 20196 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep. 20197 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay; 20198 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver. 20199 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh. 20200 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not. 20201 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night. 20202 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place. 20203 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand. 20204 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place. 20205 Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it. 20206 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone. 20207 He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death. 20208 The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men. 20209 As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire. 20210 The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold. 20211 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen: 20212 The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it. 20213 He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots. 20214 He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing. 20215 He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light. 20216 But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding? 20217 Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living. 20218 The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me. 20219 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof. 20220 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire. 20221 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold. 20222 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies. 20223 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold. 20224 Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding? 20225 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air. 20226 Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears. 20227 God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof. 20228 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven; 20229 To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure. 20230 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder: 20231 Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out. 20232 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. 20233 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, 20234 Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me; 20235 When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness; 20236 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle; 20237 When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me; 20238 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil; 20239 When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street! 20240 The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up. 20241 The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth. 20242 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth. 20243 When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me: 20244 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him. 20245 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. 20246 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem. 20247 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame. 20248 I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out. 20249 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth. 20250 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand. 20251 My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch. 20252 My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand. 20253 Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel. 20254 After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them. 20255 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain. 20256 If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down. 20257 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners. 20258 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. 20259 Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished? 20260 For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste. 20261 Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat. 20262 They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;) 20263 To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks. 20264 Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together. 20265 They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth. 20266 And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword. 20267 They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face. 20268 Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me. 20269 Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction. 20270 They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper. 20271 They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me. 20272 Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud. 20273 And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me. 20274 My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest. 20275 By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat. 20276 He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes. 20277 I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not. 20278 Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me. 20279 Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance. 20280 For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living. 20281 Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction. 20282 Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor? 20283 When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness. 20284 My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me. 20285 I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation. 20286 I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls. 20287 My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat. 20288 My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep. 20289 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid? 20290 For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high? 20291 Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity? 20292 Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps? 20293 If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit; 20294 Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity. 20295 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; 20296 Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out. 20297 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door; 20298 Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her. 20299 For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges. 20300 For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase. 20301 If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me; 20302 What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him? 20303 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb? 20304 If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail; 20305 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof; 20306 (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;) 20307 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering; 20308 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep; 20309 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate: 20310 Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone. 20311 For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure. 20312 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence; 20313 If I rejoice because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much; 20314 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness; 20315 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand: 20316 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above. 20317 If I rejoice at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him: 20318 Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul. 20319 If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied. 20320 The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller. 20321 If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom: 20322 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? 20323 Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book. 20324 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me. 20325 I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him. 20326 If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain; 20327 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life: 20328 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended. 20329 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. 20330 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. 20331 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. 20332 Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he. 20333 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled. 20334 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. 20335 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. 20336 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. 20337 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. 20338 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion. 20339 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say. 20340 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words: 20341 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man. 20342 Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches. 20343 They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking. 20344 When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;) 20345 I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion. 20346 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me. 20347 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles. 20348 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer. 20349 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man. 20350 For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away. 20351 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words. 20352 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth. 20353 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly. 20354 The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. 20355 If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up. 20356 Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay. 20357 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee. 20358 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying, 20359 I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me. 20360 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy, 20361 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths. 20362 Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man. 20363 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters. 20364 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. 20365 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; 20366 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, 20367 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. 20368 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. 20369 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain: 20370 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat. 20371 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out. 20372 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers. 20373 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness: 20374 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. 20375 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth: 20376 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. 20377 He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; 20378 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. 20379 Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man, 20380 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living. 20381 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak. 20382 If thou hast anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee. 20383 If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom. 20384 Furthermore Elihu answered and said, 20385 Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge. 20386 For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat. 20387 Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good. 20388 For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment. 20389 Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression. 20390 What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water? 20391 Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men. 20392 For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God. 20393 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. 20394 For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways. 20395 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. 20396 Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world? 20397 If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; 20398 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust. 20399 If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words. 20400 Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just? 20401 Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly? 20402 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. 20403 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. 20404 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. 20405 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. 20406 For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God. 20407 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead. 20408 Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed. 20409 He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others; 20410 Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways: 20411 So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted. 20412 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: 20413 That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared. 20414 Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more: 20415 That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more. 20416 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. 20417 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me. 20418 Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom. 20419 My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men. 20420 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God. 20421 Elihu spake moreover, and said, 20422 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's? 20423 For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin? 20424 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. 20425 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou. 20426 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? 20427 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? 20428 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man. 20429 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. 20430 But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; 20431 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? 20432 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. 20433 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. 20434 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him. 20435 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity: 20436 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge. 20437 Elihu also proceeded, and said, 20438 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf. 20439 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. 20440 For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee. 20441 Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom. 20442 He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor. 20443 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. 20444 And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction; 20445 Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded. 20446 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. 20447 If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. 20448 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. 20449 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them. 20450 They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean. 20451 He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression. 20452 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. 20453 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee. 20454 Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee. 20455 Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength. 20456 Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place. 20457 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction. 20458 Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him? 20459 Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity? 20460 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold. 20461 Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off. 20462 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out. 20463 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof: 20464 Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly. 20465 Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle? 20466 Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea. 20467 For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance. 20468 With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt. 20469 The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour. 20470 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place. 20471 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. 20472 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. 20473 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. 20474 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. 20475 For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. 20476 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. 20477 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. 20478 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north. 20479 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened. 20480 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud: 20481 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. 20482 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy. 20483 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. 20484 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? 20485 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? 20486 How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind? 20487 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? 20488 Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness. 20489 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up. 20490 And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them. 20491 Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty. 20492 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. 20493 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart. 20494 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 20495 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? 20496 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. 20497 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 20498 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 20499 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 20500 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? 20501 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? 20502 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, 20503 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, 20504 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed? 20505 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place; 20506 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? 20507 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment. 20508 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken. 20509 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth? 20510 Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death? 20511 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all. 20512 Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof, 20513 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof? 20514 Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great? 20515 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, 20516 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war? 20517 By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth? 20518 Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder; 20519 To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man; 20520 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth? 20521 Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew? 20522 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it? 20523 The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen. 20524 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? 20525 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? 20526 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? 20527 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? 20528 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go and say unto thee, Here we are? 20529 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart? 20530 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven, 20531 When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together? 20532 Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions, 20533 When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait? 20534 Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat. 20535 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve? 20536 Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth? 20537 They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows. 20538 Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them. 20539 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass? 20540 Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings. 20541 He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver. 20542 The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing. 20543 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? 20544 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? 20545 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? 20546 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn? 20547 Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich? 20548 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust, 20549 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them. 20550 She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not her's: her labour is in vain without fear; 20551 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding. 20552 What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider. 20553 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? 20554 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible. 20555 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men. 20556 He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword. 20557 The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield. 20558 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet. 20559 He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. 20560 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south? 20561 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high? 20562 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place. 20563 From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off. 20564 Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she. 20565 Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said, 20566 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it. 20567 Then Job answered the LORD, and said, 20568 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. 20569 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further. 20570 Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 20571 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. 20572 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? 20573 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? 20574 Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty. 20575 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him. 20576 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. 20577 Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret. 20578 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee. 20579 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. 20580 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. 20581 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. 20582 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. 20583 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. 20584 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. 20585 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. 20586 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. 20587 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. 20588 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares. 20589 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? 20590 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn? 20591 Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee? 20592 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever? 20593 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens? 20594 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants? 20595 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears? 20596 Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. 20597 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? 20598 None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me? 20599 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine. 20600 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. 20601 Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle? 20602 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about. 20603 His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal. 20604 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them. 20605 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. 20606 By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. 20607 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. 20608 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron. 20609 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth. 20610 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. 20611 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved. 20612 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone. 20613 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves. 20614 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon. 20615 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. 20616 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. 20617 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear. 20618 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire. 20619 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. 20620 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary. 20621 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. 20622 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride. 20623 Then Job answered the LORD, and said, 20624 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee. 20625 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. 20626 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. 20627 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. 20628 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. 20629 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. 20630 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. 20631 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. 20632 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. 20633 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. 20634 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. 20635 He had also seven sons and three daughters. 20636 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch. 20637 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. 20638 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations. 20639 So Job died, being old and full of days. 20640 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 20641 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 20642 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 20643 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 20644 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 20645 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. 20646 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 20647 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 20648 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 20649 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision. 20650 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. 20651 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 20652 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 20653 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 20654 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. 20655 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. 20656 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 20657 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. 20658 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me. 20659 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah. 20660 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. 20661 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. 20662 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. 20663 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about. 20664 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. 20665 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah. 20666 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. 20667 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah. 20668 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. 20669 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. 20670 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD. 20671 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. 20672 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. 20673 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. 20674 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. 20675 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. 20676 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. 20677 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. 20678 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 20679 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. 20680 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. 20681 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. 20682 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. 20683 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee. 20684 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. 20685 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. 20686 O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 20687 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. 20688 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long? 20689 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. 20690 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? 20691 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. 20692 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies. 20693 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. 20694 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. 20695 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly. 20696 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: 20697 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. 20698 O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; 20699 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:) 20700 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah. 20701 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded. 20702 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high. 20703 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me. 20704 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. 20705 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. 20706 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. 20707 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. 20708 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. 20709 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. 20710 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. 20711 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. 20712 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high. 20713 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. 20714 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. 20715 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 20716 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 20717 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 20718 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 20719 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 20720 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. 20721 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! 20722 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works. 20723 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. 20724 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. 20725 For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right. 20726 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. 20727 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. 20728 But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. 20729 And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. 20730 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 20731 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. 20732 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings. 20733 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble. 20734 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: 20735 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation. 20736 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. 20737 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 20738 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. 20739 For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. 20740 Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight. 20741 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah. 20742 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? 20743 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. 20744 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. 20745 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. 20746 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. 20747 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. 20748 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. 20749 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. 20750 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. 20751 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. 20752 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it. 20753 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. 20754 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it. 20755 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless. 20756 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none. 20757 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land. 20758 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: 20759 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress. 20760 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain? 20761 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. 20762 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? 20763 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. 20764 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. 20765 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. 20766 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright. 20767 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. 20768 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. 20769 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: 20770 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? 20771 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. 20772 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 20773 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. 20774 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. 20775 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? 20776 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? 20777 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; 20778 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved. 20779 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. 20780 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me. 20781 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. 20782 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 20783 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 20784 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. 20785 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous. 20786 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge. 20787 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. 20788 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 20789 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. 20790 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. 20791 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. 20792 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved. 20793 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. 20794 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; 20795 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. 20796 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. 20797 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. 20798 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. 20799 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. 20800 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 20801 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. 20802 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 20803 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. 20804 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips. 20805 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal. 20806 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. 20807 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. 20808 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. 20809 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech. 20810 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them. 20811 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, 20812 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about. 20813 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly. 20814 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth; 20815 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. 20816 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword: 20817 From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes. 20818 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. 20819 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. 20820 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. 20821 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. 20822 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. 20823 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. 20824 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. 20825 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. 20826 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 20827 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet. 20828 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. 20829 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. 20830 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire. 20831 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire. 20832 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. 20833 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. 20834 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. 20835 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me. 20836 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. 20837 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. 20838 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 20839 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. 20840 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me. 20841 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. 20842 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight. 20843 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright; 20844 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward. 20845 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks. 20846 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. 20847 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. 20848 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. 20849 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God? 20850 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. 20851 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places. 20852 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. 20853 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. 20854 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip. 20855 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed. 20856 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet. 20857 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. 20858 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me. 20859 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not. 20860 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets. 20861 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me. 20862 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. 20863 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places. 20864 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. 20865 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me. 20866 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man. 20867 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. 20868 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore. 20869 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 20870 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 20871 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 20872 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, 20873 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. 20874 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. 20875 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 20876 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 20877 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. 20878 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 20879 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. 20880 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. 20881 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. 20882 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. 20883 The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; 20884 Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; 20885 Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah. 20886 Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel. 20887 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions. 20888 Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. 20889 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. 20890 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. 20891 Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call. 20892 The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! 20893 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah. 20894 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. 20895 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever. 20896 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him. 20897 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance. 20898 For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. 20899 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. 20900 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them. 20901 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. 20902 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform. 20903 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them. 20904 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power. 20905 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? 20906 O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. 20907 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. 20908 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. 20909 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. 20910 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. 20911 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, 20912 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. 20913 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts. 20914 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly. 20915 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help. 20916 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. 20917 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion. 20918 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. 20919 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. 20920 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. 20921 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. 20922 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. 20923 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me. 20924 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. 20925 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. 20926 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. 20927 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel. 20928 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard. 20929 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. 20930 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. 20931 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. 20932 For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the nations. 20933 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul. 20934 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. 20935 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this. 20936 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 20937 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 20938 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 20939 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 20940 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 20941 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. 20942 The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 20943 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. 20944 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? 20945 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 20946 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 20947 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. 20948 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 20949 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 20950 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 20951 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah. 20952 Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. 20953 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. 20954 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. 20955 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. 20956 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. 20957 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old. 20958 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD. 20959 Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. 20960 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. 20961 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. 20962 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. 20963 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. 20964 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. 20965 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. 20966 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. 20967 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted. 20968 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses. 20969 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. 20970 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. 20971 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. 20972 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. 20973 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. 20974 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide. 20975 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. 20976 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth. 20977 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. 20978 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked. 20979 I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD: 20980 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works. 20981 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth. 20982 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men: 20983 In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes. 20984 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me. 20985 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD. 20986 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 20987 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 20988 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. 20989 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. 20990 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. 20991 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD. 20992 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. 20993 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. 20994 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. 20995 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. 20996 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. 20997 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. 20998 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 20999 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. 21000 Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. 21001 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. 21002 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts. 21003 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert. 21004 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up. 21005 Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. 21006 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. 21007 The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. 21008 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever. 21009 Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 21010 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. 21011 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters. 21012 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. 21013 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. 21014 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. 21015 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire. 21016 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. 21017 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory. 21018 The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever. 21019 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace. 21020 I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. 21021 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. 21022 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. 21023 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. 21024 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. 21025 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. 21026 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. 21027 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication. 21028 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? 21029 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper. 21030 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; 21031 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. 21032 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. 21033 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me. 21034 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me. 21035 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength. 21036 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth. 21037 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD. 21038 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities; 21039 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room. 21040 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly. 21041 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed. 21042 I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me. 21043 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel. 21044 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life. 21045 But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God. 21046 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. 21047 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake. 21048 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave. 21049 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. 21050 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! 21051 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. 21052 Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city. 21053 For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee. 21054 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. 21055 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD. 21056 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 21057 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. 21058 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. 21059 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah. 21060 I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. 21061 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. 21062 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. 21063 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. 21064 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee. 21065 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about. 21066 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. 21067 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. 21068 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. 21069 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. 21070 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth. 21071 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. 21072 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. 21073 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. 21074 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 21075 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. 21076 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. 21077 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. 21078 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. 21079 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. 21080 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. 21081 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works. 21082 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. 21083 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. 21084 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; 21085 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. 21086 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield. 21087 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. 21088 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. 21089 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 21090 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. 21091 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. 21092 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. 21093 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. 21094 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. 21095 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. 21096 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 21097 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. 21098 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. 21099 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. 21100 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? 21101 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 21102 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. 21103 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. 21104 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 21105 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 21106 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 21107 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. 21108 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. 21109 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. 21110 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. 21111 Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. 21112 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. 21113 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. 21114 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. 21115 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them. 21116 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them. 21117 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul. 21118 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall. 21119 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation. 21120 All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him? 21121 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not. 21122 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul. 21123 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. 21124 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother. 21125 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not: 21126 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth. 21127 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions. 21128 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people. 21129 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. 21130 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land. 21131 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it. 21132 This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me. 21133 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord. 21134 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me. 21135 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up. 21136 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me. 21137 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. 21138 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long. 21139 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. 21140 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. 21141 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. 21142 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil. 21143 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. 21144 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. 21145 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. 21146 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. 21147 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. 21148 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart. 21149 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me. 21150 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise. 21151 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 21152 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 21153 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 21154 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 21155 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 21156 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 21157 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. 21158 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. 21159 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. 21160 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. 21161 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. 21162 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. 21163 The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming. 21164 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. 21165 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. 21166 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. 21167 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous. 21168 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. 21169 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. 21170 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. 21171 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. 21172 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. 21173 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. 21174 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. 21175 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. 21176 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. 21177 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. 21178 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. 21179 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. 21180 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. 21181 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. 21182 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. 21183 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. 21184 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. 21185 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. 21186 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. 21187 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. 21188 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. 21189 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble. 21190 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him. 21191 O lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 21192 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore. 21193 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. 21194 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. 21195 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness. 21196 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. 21197 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh. 21198 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. 21199 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. 21200 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. 21201 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. 21202 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long. 21203 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. 21204 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs. 21205 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. 21206 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. 21207 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me. 21208 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. 21209 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. 21210 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is. 21211 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me. 21212 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation. 21213 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me. 21214 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred. 21215 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue, 21216 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am. 21217 Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah. 21218 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. 21219 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee. 21220 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish. 21221 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it. 21222 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand. 21223 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. 21224 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. 21225 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more. 21226 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 21227 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. 21228 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. 21229 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 21230 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. 21231 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. 21232 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, 21233 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. 21234 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. 21235 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation. 21236 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. 21237 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. 21238 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me. 21239 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. 21240 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. 21241 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified. 21242 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. 21243 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. 21244 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. 21245 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. 21246 I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. 21247 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish? 21248 And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it. 21249 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt. 21250 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more. 21251 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. 21252 But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them. 21253 By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. 21254 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever. 21255 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. 21256 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. 21257 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? 21258 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? 21259 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. 21260 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. 21261 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. 21262 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. 21263 Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. 21264 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 21265 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? 21266 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. 21267 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. 21268 For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 21269 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. 21270 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. 21271 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. 21272 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old. 21273 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. 21274 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. 21275 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob. 21276 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. 21277 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. 21278 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. 21279 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah. 21280 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. 21281 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves. 21282 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen. 21283 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price. 21284 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. 21285 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. 21286 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, 21287 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. 21288 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. 21289 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; 21290 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. 21291 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; 21292 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. 21293 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. 21294 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever. 21295 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression? 21296 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth. 21297 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake. 21298 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. 21299 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. 21300 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. 21301 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 21302 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. 21303 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. 21304 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 21305 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. 21306 Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. 21307 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house; 21308 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him. 21309 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour. 21310 The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. 21311 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee. 21312 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace. 21313 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth. 21314 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever. 21315 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 21316 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 21317 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. 21318 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. 21319 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. 21320 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. 21321 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. 21322 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth. 21323 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. 21324 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. 21325 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. 21326 O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. 21327 For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth. 21328 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. 21329 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah. 21330 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet. 21331 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises. 21332 For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding. 21333 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness. 21334 The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted. 21335 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. 21336 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. 21337 God is known in her palaces for a refuge. 21338 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together. 21339 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away. 21340 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail. 21341 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. 21342 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah. 21343 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple. 21344 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness. 21345 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments. 21346 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof. 21347 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following. 21348 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death. 21349 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world: 21350 Both low and high, rich and poor, together. 21351 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding. 21352 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp. 21353 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about? 21354 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; 21355 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: 21356 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) 21357 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. 21358 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others. 21359 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names. 21360 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish. 21361 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah. 21362 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. 21363 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah. 21364 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; 21365 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him. 21366 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. 21367 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. 21368 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish. 21369 The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. 21370 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. 21371 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. 21372 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people. 21373 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. 21374 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah. 21375 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God. 21376 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me. 21377 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds. 21378 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. 21379 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. 21380 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. 21381 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? 21382 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: 21383 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. 21384 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? 21385 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee. 21386 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. 21387 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. 21388 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son. 21389 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. 21390 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. 21391 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God. 21392 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 21393 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 21394 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 21395 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. 21396 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 21397 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 21398 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 21399 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 21400 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 21401 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 21402 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 21403 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 21404 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 21405 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. 21406 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. 21407 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 21408 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 21409 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 21410 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar. 21411 Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually. 21412 The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. 21413 Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah. 21414 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue. 21415 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah. 21416 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him: 21417 Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness. 21418 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. 21419 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints. 21420 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. 21421 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. 21422 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 21423 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God. 21424 There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them. 21425 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. 21426 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength. 21427 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. 21428 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah. 21429 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul. 21430 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth. 21431 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good. 21432 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies. 21433 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication. 21434 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise; 21435 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. 21436 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me. 21437 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. 21438 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest. 21439 Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah. 21440 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest. 21441 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city. 21442 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it. 21443 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets. 21444 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: 21445 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. 21446 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. 21447 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them. 21448 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me. 21449 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. 21450 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me. 21451 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. 21452 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant. 21453 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. 21454 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. 21455 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. 21456 Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. 21457 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High. 21458 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. 21459 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. 21460 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. 21461 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. 21462 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God. 21463 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? 21464 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. 21465 In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word. 21466 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. 21467 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. 21468 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? 21469 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. 21470 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me. 21471 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. 21472 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. 21473 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth. 21474 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah. 21475 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. 21476 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. 21477 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations. 21478 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds. 21479 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth. 21480 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? 21481 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. 21482 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. 21483 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; 21484 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely. 21485 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD. 21486 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces. 21487 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun. 21488 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath. 21489 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 21490 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth. 21491 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me. 21492 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men. 21493 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD. 21494 They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold. 21495 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah. 21496 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. 21497 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear? 21498 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. 21499 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence. 21500 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies. 21501 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield. 21502 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak. 21503 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah. 21504 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. 21505 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied. 21506 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. 21507 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy. 21508 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again. 21509 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. 21510 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. 21511 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. 21512 That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me. 21513 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 21514 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; 21515 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me. 21516 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? 21517 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies? 21518 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. 21519 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies. 21520 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. 21521 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 21522 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. 21523 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah. 21524 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. 21525 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations. 21526 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him. 21527 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows. 21528 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. 21529 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. 21530 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence. 21531 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah. 21532 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. 21533 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. 21534 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. 21535 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. 21536 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. 21537 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them. 21538 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. 21539 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work. 21540 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; 21541 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. 21542 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. 21543 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. 21544 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: 21545 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. 21546 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. 21547 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. 21548 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth. 21549 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes. 21550 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. 21551 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. 21552 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: 21553 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: 21554 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. 21555 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? 21556 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. 21557 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. 21558 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away. 21559 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. 21560 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory. 21561 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed. 21562 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. 21563 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. 21564 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. 21565 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea: 21566 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power: 21567 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people. 21568 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. 21569 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it. 21570 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof. 21571 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. 21572 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. 21573 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing. 21574 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: 21575 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. 21576 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. 21577 All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah. 21578 Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men. 21579 He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him. 21580 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah. 21581 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: 21582 Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved. 21583 For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. 21584 Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. 21585 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place. 21586 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows, 21587 Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble. 21588 I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah. 21589 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul. 21590 I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. 21591 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: 21592 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. 21593 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me. 21594 God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. 21595 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations. 21596 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. 21597 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah. 21598 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. 21599 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. 21600 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him. 21601 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. 21602 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. 21603 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice. 21604 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. 21605 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. 21606 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. 21607 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah: 21608 The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel. 21609 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary. 21610 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor. 21611 The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. 21612 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil. 21613 Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold. 21614 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon. 21615 The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan. 21616 Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever. 21617 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place. 21618 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them. 21619 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. 21620 He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death. 21621 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses. 21622 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea: 21623 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same. 21624 They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. 21625 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels. 21626 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel. 21627 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali. 21628 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us. 21629 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee. 21630 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war. 21631 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God. 21632 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah: 21633 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice. 21634 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds. 21635 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God. 21636 Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul. 21637 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. 21638 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. 21639 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away. 21640 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. 21641 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. 21642 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face. 21643 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children. 21644 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me. 21645 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. 21646 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them. 21647 They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards. 21648 But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation. 21649 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. 21650 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. 21651 Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. 21652 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily. 21653 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies. 21654 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee. 21655 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none. 21656 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. 21657 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. 21658 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake. 21659 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. 21660 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents. 21661 For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. 21662 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. 21663 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. 21664 But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high. 21665 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. 21666 This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs. 21667 The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God. 21668 For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners. 21669 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein. 21670 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession. 21671 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein. 21672 MAKE HASTE, O GOD, TO DELIVER ME; MAKE HASTE TO HELP ME, O LORD. 21673 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt. 21674 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha. 21675 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified. 21676 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying. 21677 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. 21678 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me. 21679 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress. 21680 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. 21681 For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth. 21682 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee. 21683 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. 21684 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day. 21685 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. 21686 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together, 21687 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him. 21688 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help. 21689 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt. 21690 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. 21691 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof. 21692 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. 21693 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. 21694 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come. 21695 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee! 21696 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. 21697 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. 21698 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. 21699 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. 21700 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt. 21701 Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son. 21702 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. 21703 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness. 21704 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. 21705 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. 21706 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth. 21707 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. 21708 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. 21709 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. 21710 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. 21711 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him. 21712 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper. 21713 He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. 21714 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight. 21715 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised. 21716 There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. 21717 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed. 21718 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. 21719 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen. 21720 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. 21721 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart. 21722 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. 21723 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 21724 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm. 21725 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men. 21726 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment. 21727 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. 21728 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily. 21729 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. 21730 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them. 21731 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? 21732 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. 21733 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency. 21734 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. 21735 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children. 21736 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; 21737 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. 21738 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. 21739 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors. 21740 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. 21741 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. 21742 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. 21743 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. 21744 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. 21745 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. 21746 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. 21747 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. 21748 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works. 21749 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? 21750 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. 21751 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. 21752 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs. 21753 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. 21754 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers. 21755 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground. 21756 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. 21757 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long. 21758 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever? 21759 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom. 21760 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth. 21761 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters. 21762 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness. 21763 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers. 21764 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun. 21765 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter. 21766 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name. 21767 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever. 21768 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. 21769 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name. 21770 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily. 21771 Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually. 21772 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare. 21773 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly. 21774 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah. 21775 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: 21776 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck. 21777 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. 21778 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. 21779 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. 21780 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. 21781 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted. 21782 In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel. 21783 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. 21784 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah. 21785 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. 21786 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands. 21787 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep. 21788 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? 21789 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still, 21790 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah. 21791 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. 21792 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared. 21793 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth. 21794 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. 21795 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. 21796 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. 21797 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. 21798 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. 21799 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. 21800 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? 21801 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore? 21802 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. 21803 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. 21804 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. 21805 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. 21806 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? 21807 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. 21808 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. 21809 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled. 21810 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. 21811 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. 21812 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. 21813 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. 21814 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 21815 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: 21816 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. 21817 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. 21818 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: 21819 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: 21820 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: 21821 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. 21822 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. 21823 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law; 21824 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them. 21825 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. 21826 He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap. 21827 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. 21828 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths. 21829 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. 21830 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness. 21831 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust. 21832 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? 21833 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? 21834 Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; 21835 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation: 21836 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, 21837 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. 21838 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full. 21839 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind. 21840 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: 21841 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. 21842 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire; 21843 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths, 21844 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel. 21845 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works. 21846 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble. 21847 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God. 21848 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer. 21849 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. 21850 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant. 21851 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. 21852 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. 21853 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert! 21854 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. 21855 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy. 21856 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan. 21857 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink. 21858 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. 21859 He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust. 21860 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost. 21861 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. 21862 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. 21863 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; 21864 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham: 21865 But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. 21866 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. 21867 And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased. 21868 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. 21869 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies: 21870 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow. 21871 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images. 21872 When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: 21873 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men; 21874 And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand. 21875 He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance. 21876 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage. 21877 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation. 21878 Then the LORD awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine. 21879 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach. 21880 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: 21881 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. 21882 And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever. 21883 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: 21884 From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. 21885 So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands. 21886 O god, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps. 21887 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. 21888 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them. 21889 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us. 21890 How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire? 21891 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name. 21892 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place. 21893 O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low. 21894 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. 21895 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. 21896 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die; 21897 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord. 21898 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations. 21899 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth. 21900 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us. 21901 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. 21902 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? 21903 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. 21904 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves. 21905 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. 21906 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. 21907 Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. 21908 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars. 21909 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river. 21910 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her? 21911 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. 21912 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; 21913 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself. 21914 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. 21915 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. 21916 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. 21917 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. 21918 Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. 21919 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. 21920 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. 21921 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob. 21922 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. 21923 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots. 21924 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. 21925 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; 21926 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. 21927 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. 21928 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. 21929 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels. 21930 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! 21931 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. 21932 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever. 21933 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee. 21934 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. 21935 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. 21936 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. 21937 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. 21938 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. 21939 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. 21940 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. 21941 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations. 21942 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. 21943 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 21944 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. 21945 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. 21946 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: 21947 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; 21948 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; 21949 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. 21950 Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: 21951 Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. 21952 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: 21953 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. 21954 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. 21955 As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; 21956 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. 21957 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD. 21958 Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: 21959 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth. 21960 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! 21961 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. 21962 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. 21963 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. 21964 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. 21965 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. 21966 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. 21967 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. 21968 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. 21969 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. 21970 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. 21971 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. 21972 Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. 21973 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. 21974 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. 21975 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease. 21976 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? 21977 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? 21978 Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. 21979 I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. 21980 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. 21981 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. 21982 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. 21983 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. 21984 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps. 21985 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. 21986 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. 21987 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. 21988 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. 21989 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. 21990 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. 21991 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. 21992 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. 21993 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. 21994 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. 21995 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. 21996 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore. 21997 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. 21998 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them. 21999 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. 22000 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. 22001 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me. 22002 His foundation is in the holy mountains. 22003 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. 22004 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah. 22005 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there. 22006 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her. 22007 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah. 22008 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee. 22009 O lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: 22010 Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; 22011 For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. 22012 I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength: 22013 Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. 22014 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. 22015 Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah. 22016 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. 22017 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee. 22018 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah. 22019 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction? 22020 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? 22021 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee. 22022 LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me? 22023 I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. 22024 Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off. 22025 They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together. 22026 Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness. 22027 I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. 22028 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 22029 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, 22030 Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. 22031 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. 22032 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? 22033 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. 22034 O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee? 22035 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. 22036 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm. 22037 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. 22038 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. 22039 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. 22040 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. 22041 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. 22042 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. 22043 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. 22044 For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king. 22045 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. 22046 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: 22047 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. 22048 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. 22049 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. 22050 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. 22051 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. 22052 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. 22053 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. 22054 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. 22055 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. 22056 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; 22057 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; 22058 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 22059 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. 22060 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. 22061 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. 22062 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. 22063 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah. 22064 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. 22065 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. 22066 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. 22067 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours. 22068 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. 22069 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle. 22070 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. 22071 The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah. 22072 How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? 22073 Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? 22074 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. 22075 Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth? 22076 Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; 22077 Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. 22078 Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen. 22079 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. 22080 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. 22081 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. 22082 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. 22083 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up. 22084 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth. 22085 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. 22086 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. 22087 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. 22088 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. 22089 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. 22090 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. 22091 Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants. 22092 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 22093 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. 22094 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. 22095 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. 22096 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 22097 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 22098 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 22099 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 22100 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 22101 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 22102 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 22103 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 22104 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 22105 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 22106 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 22107 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 22108 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 22109 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 22110 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 22111 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. 22112 IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH: 22113 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, 22114 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. 22115 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. 22116 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. 22117 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. 22118 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: 22119 But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. 22120 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. 22121 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. 22122 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. 22123 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 22124 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. 22125 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; 22126 To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. 22127 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. 22128 Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. 22129 The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. 22130 The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea. 22131 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever. 22132 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself. 22133 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. 22134 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? 22135 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? 22136 They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. 22137 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. 22138 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. 22139 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? 22140 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? 22141 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? 22142 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. 22143 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law; 22144 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked. 22145 For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. 22146 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. 22147 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? 22148 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. 22149 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. 22150 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. 22151 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? 22152 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. 22153 But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. 22154 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off. 22155 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. 22156 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. 22157 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. 22158 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. 22159 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. 22160 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. 22161 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, 22162 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 22163 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. 22164 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: 22165 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest. 22166 O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth. 22167 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day. 22168 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people. 22169 For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. 22170 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. 22171 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. 22172 Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 22173 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts. 22174 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth. 22175 Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously. 22176 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof. 22177 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice 22178 Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth. 22179 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. 22180 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. 22181 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about. 22182 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled. 22183 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 22184 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory. 22185 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods. 22186 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD. 22187 For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. 22188 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. 22189 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. 22190 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. 22191 O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. 22192 The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen. 22193 He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. 22194 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. 22195 Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm. 22196 With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King. 22197 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 22198 Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together 22199 Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity. 22200 The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved. 22201 The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people. 22202 Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy. 22203 The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob. 22204 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy. 22205 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them. 22206 He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them. 22207 Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions. 22208 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy. 22209 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. 22210 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 22211 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. 22212 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 22213 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. 22214 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. 22215 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. 22216 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. 22217 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. 22218 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. 22219 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. 22220 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. 22221 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD. 22222 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee. 22223 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. 22224 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth. 22225 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread. 22226 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin. 22227 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert. 22228 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top. 22229 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me. 22230 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping. 22231 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down. 22232 My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass. 22233 But thou, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations. 22234 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. 22235 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof. 22236 So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory. 22237 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. 22238 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer. 22239 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD. 22240 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth; 22241 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death; 22242 To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem; 22243 When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD. 22244 He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days. 22245 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations. 22246 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. 22247 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: 22248 But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end. 22249 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee. 22250 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 22251 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 22252 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 22253 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 22254 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. 22255 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. 22256 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. 22257 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 22258 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. 22259 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 22260 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 22261 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. 22262 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. 22263 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. 22264 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. 22265 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. 22266 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; 22267 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. 22268 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. 22269 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. 22270 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. 22271 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul. 22272 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. 22273 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: 22274 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: 22275 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: 22276 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. 22277 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. 22278 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. 22279 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. 22280 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. 22281 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. 22282 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. 22283 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. 22284 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. 22285 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; 22286 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart. 22287 The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; 22288 Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. 22289 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies. 22290 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. 22291 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. 22292 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God. 22293 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens. 22294 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. 22295 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. 22296 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. 22297 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. 22298 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. 22299 That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. 22300 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. 22301 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. 22302 The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works. 22303 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. 22304 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. 22305 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD. 22306 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. 22307 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. 22308 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. 22309 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. 22310 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. 22311 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; 22312 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. 22313 He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth. 22314 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. 22315 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; 22316 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: 22317 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: 22318 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it. 22319 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people; 22320 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; 22321 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. 22322 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread. 22323 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: 22324 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: 22325 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. 22326 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. 22327 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance: 22328 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom. 22329 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. 22330 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies. 22331 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants. 22332 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen. 22333 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. 22334 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word. 22335 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. 22336 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings. 22337 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts. 22338 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land. 22339 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts. 22340 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number, 22341 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground. 22342 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength. 22343 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. 22344 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them. 22345 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night. 22346 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 22347 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river. 22348 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. 22349 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: 22350 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people; 22351 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD. 22352 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 22353 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise? 22354 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times. 22355 Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation; 22356 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. 22357 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. 22358 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. 22359 Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known. 22360 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness. 22361 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. 22362 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left. 22363 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise. 22364 They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: 22365 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. 22366 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. 22367 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD. 22368 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram. 22369 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked. 22370 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image. 22371 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. 22372 They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt; 22373 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea. 22374 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. 22375 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word: 22376 But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD. 22377 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness: 22378 To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands. 22379 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. 22380 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them. 22381 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed. 22382 And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore. 22383 They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: 22384 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips. 22385 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them: 22386 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. 22387 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. 22388 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, 22389 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. 22390 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. 22391 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. 22392 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them. 22393 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand. 22394 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. 22395 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: 22396 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. 22397 He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives. 22398 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. 22399 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD. 22400 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 22401 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; 22402 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. 22403 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. 22404 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. 22405 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. 22406 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. 22407 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 22408 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. 22409 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; 22410 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: 22411 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. 22412 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. 22413 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. 22414 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 22415 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder. 22416 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. 22417 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. 22418 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. 22419 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. 22420 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 22421 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing. 22422 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; 22423 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. 22424 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. 22425 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. 22426 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end. 22427 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. 22428 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. 22429 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. 22430 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 22431 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. 22432 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; 22433 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. 22434 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. 22435 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation; 22436 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase. 22437 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease. 22438 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. 22439 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way. 22440 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock. 22441 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. 22442 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD. 22443 O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. 22444 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. 22445 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. 22446 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. 22447 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth; 22448 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me. 22449 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 22450 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; 22451 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph. 22452 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? 22453 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts? 22454 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. 22455 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies. 22456 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; 22457 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. 22458 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. 22459 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer. 22460 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. 22461 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. 22462 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. 22463 Let his days be few; and let another take his office. 22464 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. 22465 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. 22466 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour. 22467 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children. 22468 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out. 22469 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. 22470 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. 22471 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. 22472 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. 22473 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. 22474 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. 22475 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul. 22476 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. 22477 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. 22478 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. 22479 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. 22480 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads. 22481 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy: 22482 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it. 22483 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice. 22484 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. 22485 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude. 22486 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul. 22487 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. 22488 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. 22489 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. 22490 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. 22491 The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. 22492 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. 22493 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head. 22494 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. 22495 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. 22496 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 22497 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion. 22498 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. 22499 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. 22500 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. 22501 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. 22502 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. 22503 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. 22504 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. 22505 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. 22506 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 22507 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. 22508 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. 22509 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. 22510 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. 22511 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies. 22512 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. 22513 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish. 22514 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. 22515 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. 22516 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised. 22517 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. 22518 Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, 22519 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! 22520 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; 22521 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. 22522 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. 22523 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; 22524 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. 22525 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. 22526 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. 22527 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? 22528 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs? 22529 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; 22530 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters. 22531 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake. 22532 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? 22533 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. 22534 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. 22535 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: 22536 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: 22537 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. 22538 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them. 22539 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. 22540 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. 22541 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield. 22542 The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. 22543 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. 22544 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. 22545 Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. 22546 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. 22547 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. 22548 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD. 22549 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. 22550 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. 22551 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. 22552 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. 22553 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. 22554 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. 22555 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. 22556 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. 22557 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. 22558 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: 22559 I said in my haste, All men are liars. 22560 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me? 22561 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. 22562 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. 22563 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. 22564 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds. 22565 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD. 22566 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. 22567 In the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. 22568 O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. 22569 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD. 22570 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. 22571 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 22572 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 22573 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 22574 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. 22575 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? 22576 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. 22577 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. 22578 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. 22579 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. 22580 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 22581 They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 22582 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. 22583 The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. 22584 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. 22585 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. 22586 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. 22587 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. 22588 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD: 22589 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. 22590 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. 22591 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. 22592 This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. 22593 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 22594 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. 22595 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. 22596 God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. 22597 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee. 22598 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 22599 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. 22600 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. 22601 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. 22602 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. 22603 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! 22604 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. 22605 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. 22606 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. 22607 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. 22608 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. 22609 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. 22610 Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. 22611 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. 22612 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. 22613 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. 22614 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. 22615 Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word. 22616 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. 22617 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me. 22618 My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times. 22619 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments. 22620 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies. 22621 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. 22622 Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors. 22623 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. 22624 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes. 22625 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. 22626 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word. 22627 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. 22628 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me. 22629 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame. 22630 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. 22631 Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end. 22632 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. 22633 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. 22634 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. 22635 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way. 22636 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear. 22637 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good. 22638 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness. 22639 Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word. 22640 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. 22641 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. 22642 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. 22643 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. 22644 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. 22645 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. 22646 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes. 22647 Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. 22648 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me. 22649 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law. 22650 I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself. 22651 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law. 22652 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. 22653 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. 22654 This I had, because I kept thy precepts. 22655 Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words. 22656 I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word. 22657 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. 22658 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. 22659 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law. 22660 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments. 22661 I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts. 22662 The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes. 22663 Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word. 22664 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. 22665 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. 22666 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. 22667 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart. 22668 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law. 22669 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. 22670 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. 22671 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments. 22672 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word. 22673 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. 22674 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. 22675 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight. 22676 Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts. 22677 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies. 22678 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed. 22679 My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word. 22680 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me? 22681 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes. 22682 How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? 22683 The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law. 22684 All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. 22685 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts. 22686 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth. 22687 For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. 22688 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. 22689 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants. 22690 Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. 22691 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me. 22692 I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts. 22693 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies. 22694 I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. 22695 O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day. 22696 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 22697 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 22698 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. 22699 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. 22700 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. 22701 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! 22702 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. 22703 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 22704 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. 22705 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word. 22706 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments. 22707 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. 22708 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. 22709 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. 22710 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end. 22711 I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. 22712 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. 22713 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. 22714 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. 22715 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. 22716 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. 22717 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. 22718 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. 22719 I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. 22720 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. 22721 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness. 22722 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. 22723 I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. 22724 It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law. 22725 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. 22726 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. 22727 Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. 22728 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. 22729 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments. 22730 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name. 22731 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. 22732 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. 22733 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. 22734 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law. 22735 Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments. 22736 Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful. 22737 My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. 22738 Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. 22739 I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts. 22740 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. 22741 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights. 22742 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. 22743 I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes. 22744 I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. 22745 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. 22746 Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word. 22747 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment. 22748 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. 22749 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth. 22750 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever. 22751 Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law. 22752 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word. 22753 Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes. 22754 Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments. 22755 Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies. 22756 I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word. 22757 Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness. 22758 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. 22759 Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. 22760 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. 22761 I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. 22762 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments. 22763 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. 22764 LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments. 22765 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly. 22766 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee. 22767 Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word. 22768 Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word. 22769 My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes. 22770 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness. 22771 Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts. 22772 I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight. 22773 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me. 22774 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments. 22775 In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. 22776 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. 22777 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? 22778 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. 22779 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! 22780 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. 22781 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war. 22782 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 22783 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. 22784 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 22785 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 22786 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. 22787 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 22788 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 22789 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. 22790 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. 22791 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. 22792 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: 22793 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD. 22794 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. 22795 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. 22796 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. 22797 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. 22798 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good. 22799 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. 22800 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us. 22801 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. 22802 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud. 22803 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; 22804 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: 22805 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: 22806 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: 22807 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. 22808 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. 22809 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. 22810 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. 22811 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. 22812 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. 22813 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity. 22814 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts. 22815 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel. 22816 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. 22817 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. 22818 The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. 22819 Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south. 22820 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 22821 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. 22822 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. 22823 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. 22824 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. 22825 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. 22826 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. 22827 Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways. 22828 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. 22829 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. 22830 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD. 22831 The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. 22832 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel. 22833 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: 22834 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. 22835 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. 22836 The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. 22837 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. 22838 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up: 22839 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. 22840 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD. 22841 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. 22842 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. 22843 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? 22844 But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. 22845 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. 22846 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. 22847 Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. 22848 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities. 22849 Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. 22850 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. 22851 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever. 22852 Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions: 22853 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob; 22854 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; 22855 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids, 22856 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob. 22857 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood. 22858 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool. 22859 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength. 22860 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy. 22861 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed. 22862 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. 22863 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. 22864 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. 22865 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. 22866 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. 22867 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. 22868 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. 22869 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish. 22870 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 22871 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 22872 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. 22873 Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD. 22874 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD. 22875 The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion. 22876 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD. 22877 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God. 22878 Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant. 22879 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure. 22880 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. 22881 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. 22882 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries. 22883 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. 22884 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants. 22885 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings; 22886 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan: 22887 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people. 22888 Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations. 22889 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants. 22890 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. 22891 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; 22892 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths. 22893 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them. 22894 Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron: 22895 Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD. 22896 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. 22897 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 22898 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever. 22899 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever. 22900 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever. 22901 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever. 22902 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever. 22903 To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever: 22904 The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever: 22905 The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever. 22906 To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever: 22907 And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever: 22908 With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever. 22909 To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever: 22910 And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endureth for ever: 22911 But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever. 22912 To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth for ever. 22913 To him which smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever: 22914 And slew famous kings: for his mercy endureth for ever: 22915 Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy endureth for ever: 22916 And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endureth for ever: 22917 And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy endureth for ever: 22918 Even an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth for ever. 22919 Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth for ever: 22920 And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever. 22921 Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever. 22922 O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever. 22923 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. 22924 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 22925 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. 22926 How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land? 22927 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. 22928 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. 22929 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. 22930 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. 22931 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. 22932 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. 22933 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 22934 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. 22935 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth. 22936 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD. 22937 Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. 22938 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. 22939 The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands. 22940 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. 22941 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 22942 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 22943 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. 22944 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. 22945 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. 22946 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 22947 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 22948 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 22949 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 22950 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. 22951 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. 22952 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. 22953 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 22954 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 22955 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. 22956 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 22957 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. 22958 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. 22959 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. 22960 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? 22961 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. 22962 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 22963 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. 22964 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; 22965 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war. 22966 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah. 22967 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. 22968 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah. 22969 I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. 22970 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. 22971 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah. 22972 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. 22973 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again. 22974 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. 22975 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor. 22976 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence. 22977 Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. 22978 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. 22979 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. 22980 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties. 22981 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities. 22982 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. 22983 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth. 22984 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. 22985 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity. 22986 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape. 22987 I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication. 22988 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. 22989 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me. 22990 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. 22991 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living. 22992 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. 22993 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me. 22994 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness. 22995 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. 22996 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. 22997 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. 22998 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. 22999 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. 23000 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. 23001 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. 23002 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. 23003 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. 23004 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. 23005 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant. 23006 Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: 23007 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. 23008 LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him! 23009 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away. 23010 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. 23011 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. 23012 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children; 23013 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 23014 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. 23015 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword. 23016 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood: 23017 That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace: 23018 That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets: 23019 That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets. 23020 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD. 23021 I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. 23022 Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. 23023 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. 23024 One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. 23025 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. 23026 And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness. 23027 They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness. 23028 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. 23029 The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. 23030 All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee. 23031 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; 23032 To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. 23033 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. 23034 The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. 23035 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. 23036 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. 23037 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. 23038 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. 23039 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. 23040 The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy. 23041 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever. 23042 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. 23043 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. 23044 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 23045 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. 23046 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: 23047 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever: 23048 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners: 23049 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: 23050 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. 23051 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD. 23052 Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. 23053 The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. 23054 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. 23055 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. 23056 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. 23057 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground. 23058 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God: 23059 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. 23060 He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry. 23061 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. 23062 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. 23063 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. 23064 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee. 23065 He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. 23066 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly. 23067 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes. 23068 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold? 23069 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow. 23070 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. 23071 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD. 23072 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights. 23073 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. 23074 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. 23075 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. 23076 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created. 23077 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass. 23078 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: 23079 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word: 23080 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: 23081 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl: 23082 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth: 23083 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children: 23084 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven. 23085 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD. 23086 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. 23087 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. 23088 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. 23089 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. 23090 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. 23091 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; 23092 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 23093 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 23094 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD. 23095 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. 23096 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. 23097 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. 23098 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. 23099 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. 23100 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD. 23101 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; 23102 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; 23103 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; 23104 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. 23105 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: 23106 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. 23107 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. 23108 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: 23109 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck. 23110 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. 23111 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: 23112 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: 23113 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: 23114 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: 23115 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: 23116 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. 23117 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. 23118 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. 23119 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof. 23120 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: 23121 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, 23122 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23123 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. 23124 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 23125 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 23126 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 23127 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 23128 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 23129 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 23130 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 23131 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 23132 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. 23133 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. 23134 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; 23135 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; 23136 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; 23137 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; 23138 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. 23139 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. 23140 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. 23141 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. 23142 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. 23143 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; 23144 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: 23145 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; 23146 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; 23147 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; 23148 Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths: 23149 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; 23150 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. 23151 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. 23152 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life. 23153 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous. 23154 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. 23155 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it. 23156 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: 23157 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. 23158 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: 23159 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. 23160 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 23161 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 23162 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. 23163 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. 23164 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: 23165 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. 23166 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: 23167 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. 23168 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. 23169 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. 23170 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. 23171 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. 23172 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. 23173 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her. 23174 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens. 23175 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew. 23176 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: 23177 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck. 23178 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble. 23179 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. 23180 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. 23181 For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. 23182 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. 23183 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee. 23184 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee. 23185 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm. 23186 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways. 23187 For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous. 23188 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just. 23189 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly. 23190 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools. 23191 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. 23192 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. 23193 For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. 23194 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. 23195 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. 23196 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. 23197 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. 23198 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. 23199 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee. 23200 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many. 23201 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths. 23202 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. 23203 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life. 23204 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. 23205 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. 23206 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall. 23207 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. 23208 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. 23209 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. 23210 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 23211 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 23212 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23213 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. 23214 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. 23215 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. 23216 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. 23217 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil. 23218 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: 23219 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge. 23220 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: 23221 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. 23222 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. 23223 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them. 23224 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. 23225 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: 23226 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: 23227 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger; 23228 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, 23229 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; 23230 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me! 23231 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly. 23232 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. 23233 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. 23234 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee. 23235 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. 23236 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. 23237 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? 23238 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings. 23239 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. 23240 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray. 23241 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, 23242 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. 23243 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. 23244 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. 23245 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. 23246 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: 23247 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, 23248 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. 23249 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? 23250 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: 23251 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man. 23252 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. 23253 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; 23254 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. 23255 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. 23256 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 23257 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 23258 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 23259 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. 23260 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: 23261 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. 23262 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. 23263 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: 23264 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. 23265 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. 23266 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life. 23267 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? 23268 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? 23269 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. 23270 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; 23271 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. 23272 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. 23273 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. 23274 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 23275 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts. 23276 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. 23277 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. 23278 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. 23279 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: 23280 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words. 23281 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, 23282 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, 23283 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, 23284 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: 23285 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. 23286 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house: 23287 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) 23288 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, 23289 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows. 23290 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. 23291 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. 23292 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 23293 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. 23294 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey: 23295 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed. 23296 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. 23297 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; 23298 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. 23299 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. 23300 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. 23301 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. 23302 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death. 23303 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? 23304 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths. 23305 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors. 23306 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man. 23307 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. 23308 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things. 23309 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. 23310 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them. 23311 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge. 23312 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. 23313 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. 23314 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. 23315 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. 23316 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. 23317 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. 23318 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. 23319 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. 23320 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. 23321 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. 23322 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: 23323 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures. 23324 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. 23325 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. 23326 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. 23327 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: 23328 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. 23329 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: 23330 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: 23331 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: 23332 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; 23333 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men. 23334 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. 23335 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. 23336 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. 23337 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD. 23338 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death. 23339 Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: 23340 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table. 23341 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city, 23342 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, 23343 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled. 23344 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding. 23345 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. 23346 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. 23347 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. 23348 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. 23349 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased. 23350 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it. 23351 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing. 23352 For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city, 23353 To call passengers who go right on their ways: 23354 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, 23355 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. 23356 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell. 23357 The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. 23358 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death. 23359 The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked. 23360 He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. 23361 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame. 23362 Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. 23363 The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot. 23364 The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall. 23365 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. 23366 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall. 23367 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. 23368 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. 23369 In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding. 23370 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction. 23371 The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty. 23372 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin. 23373 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth. 23374 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. 23375 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. 23376 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth. 23377 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom. 23378 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. 23379 It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom. 23380 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted. 23381 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation. 23382 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him. 23383 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. 23384 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. 23385 The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. 23386 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth. 23387 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out. 23388 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness. 23389 A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight. 23390 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. 23391 The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. 23392 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death. 23393 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. 23394 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness. 23395 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth. 23396 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead. 23397 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered. 23398 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting. 23399 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. 23400 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace. 23401 A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter. 23402 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. 23403 He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure. 23404 A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches. 23405 The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh. 23406 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward. 23407 As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death. 23408 They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight. 23409 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. 23410 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion. 23411 The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath. 23412 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. 23413 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. 23414 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it. 23415 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him. 23416 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch. 23417 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart. 23418 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. 23419 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner. 23420 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. 23421 A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn. 23422 A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved. 23423 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones. 23424 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit. 23425 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. 23426 The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand. 23427 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised. 23428 He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread. 23429 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. 23430 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding. 23431 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit. 23432 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble. 23433 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him. 23434 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. 23435 A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame. 23436 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit. 23437 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. 23438 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. 23439 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy. 23440 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. 23441 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight. 23442 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. 23443 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. 23444 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. 23445 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them. 23446 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious. 23447 In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death. 23448 A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke. 23449 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence. 23450 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. 23451 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. 23452 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame. 23453 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner. 23454 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches. 23455 The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke. 23456 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out. 23457 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom. 23458 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. 23459 Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. 23460 Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded. 23461 The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. 23462 Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard. 23463 Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly. 23464 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health. 23465 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. 23466 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil. 23467 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. 23468 Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed. 23469 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. 23470 Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment. 23471 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. 23472 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want. 23473 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. 23474 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him. 23475 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them. 23476 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox. 23477 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies. 23478 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth. 23479 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge. 23480 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit. 23481 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour. 23482 The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy. 23483 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. 23484 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 23485 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness. 23486 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself. 23487 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going. 23488 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. 23489 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated. 23490 The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. 23491 The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous. 23492 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends. 23493 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he. 23494 Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good. 23495 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury. 23496 The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly. 23497 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies. 23498 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. 23499 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. 23500 In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince. 23501 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly. 23502 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones. 23503 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor. 23504 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death. 23505 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known. 23506 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. 23507 The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame. 23508 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. 23509 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. 23510 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. 23511 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. 23512 A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. 23513 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. 23514 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so. 23515 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. 23516 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. 23517 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die. 23518 Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men? 23519 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise. 23520 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. 23521 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness. 23522 All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast. 23523 Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith. 23524 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. 23525 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife. 23526 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain. 23527 A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother. 23528 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly. 23529 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established. 23530 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it! 23531 The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath. 23532 The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow. 23533 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words. 23534 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live. 23535 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things. 23536 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous. 23537 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat. 23538 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. 23539 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. 23540 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility. 23541 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD. 23542 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits. 23543 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. 23544 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. 23545 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. 23546 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil. 23547 When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. 23548 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right. 23549 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. 23550 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment. 23551 A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of the bag are his work. 23552 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness. 23553 Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right. 23554 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it. 23555 In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain. 23556 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver! 23557 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul. 23558 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. 23559 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. 23560 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he. 23561 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning. 23562 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly. 23563 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips. 23564 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. 23565 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 23566 He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him. 23567 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. 23568 A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends. 23569 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good. 23570 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass. 23571 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness. 23572 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. 23573 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD. 23574 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife. 23575 A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren. 23576 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts. 23577 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue. 23578 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. 23579 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. 23580 Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. 23581 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. 23582 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. 23583 A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool. 23584 An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. 23585 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly. 23586 Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. 23587 The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with. 23588 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD. 23589 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it? 23590 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. 23591 A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend. 23592 He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction. 23593 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief. 23594 He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy. 23595 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. 23596 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment. 23597 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth. 23598 A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him. 23599 Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity. 23600 He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. 23601 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. 23602 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom. 23603 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. 23604 When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach. 23605 The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook. 23606 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment. 23607 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. 23608 A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. 23609 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. 23610 He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster. 23611 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. 23612 The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit. 23613 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility. 23614 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. 23615 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? 23616 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge. 23617 A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men. 23618 He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him. 23619 The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty. 23620 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle. 23621 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. 23622 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. 23623 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD. 23624 The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly. 23625 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. 23626 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. 23627 Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth. 23628 The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD. 23629 Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour. 23630 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape. 23631 Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts. 23632 All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him. 23633 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good. 23634 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish. 23635 Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes. 23636 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression. 23637 The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass. 23638 A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping. 23639 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD. 23640 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger. 23641 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die. 23642 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. 23643 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying. 23644 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again. 23645 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. 23646 There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand. 23647 The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar. 23648 The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil. 23649 A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again. 23650 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge. 23651 He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach. 23652 Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge. 23653 An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity. 23654 Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools. 23655 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. 23656 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul. 23657 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling. 23658 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing. 23659 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out. 23660 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find? 23661 The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him. 23662 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes. 23663 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin? 23664 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD. 23665 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right. 23666 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them. 23667 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread. 23668 It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth. 23669 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel. 23670 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman. 23671 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel. 23672 Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war. 23673 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips. 23674 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness. 23675 An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed. 23676 Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee. 23677 Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good. 23678 Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way? 23679 It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry. 23680 A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them. 23681 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly. 23682 Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy. 23683 The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head. 23684 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly. 23685 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. 23686 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts. 23687 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. 23688 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin. 23689 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want. 23690 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death. 23691 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment. 23692 The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right. 23693 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. 23694 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes. 23695 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge. 23696 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness. 23697 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard. 23698 A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath. 23699 It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. 23700 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead. 23701 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich. 23702 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright. 23703 It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman. 23704 There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up. 23705 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour. 23706 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof. 23707 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. 23708 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath. 23709 The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour. 23710 He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not. 23711 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind? 23712 A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly. 23713 A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way. 23714 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD. 23715 The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD. 23716 A GOOD name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold. 23717 The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all. 23718 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. 23719 By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life. 23720 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them. 23721 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. 23722 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. 23723 He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail. 23724 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor. 23725 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease. 23726 He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend. 23727 The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor. 23728 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets. 23729 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein. 23730 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. 23731 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want. 23732 Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge. 23733 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips. 23734 That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee. 23735 Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, 23736 That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee? 23737 Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate: 23738 For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them. 23739 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: 23740 Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul. 23741 Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts. 23742 If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee? 23743 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. 23744 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men. 23745 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee: 23746 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. 23747 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat. 23748 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. 23749 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. 23750 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: 23751 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. 23752 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words. 23753 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words. 23754 Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless: 23755 For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee. 23756 Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge. 23757 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. 23758 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell. 23759 My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine. 23760 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things. 23761 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. 23762 For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off. 23763 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way. 23764 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: 23765 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags. 23766 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old. 23767 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. 23768 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him. 23769 Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice. 23770 My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways. 23771 For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit. 23772 She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men. 23773 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? 23774 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. 23775 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. 23776 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. 23777 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. 23778 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. 23779 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again. 23780 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. 23781 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief. 23782 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: 23783 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. 23784 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. 23785 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety. 23786 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate. 23787 He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person. 23788 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men. 23789 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. 23790 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; 23791 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works? 23792 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: 23793 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off. 23794 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place: 23795 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. 23796 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: 23797 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him. 23798 Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked: 23799 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out. 23800 My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change: 23801 For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both? 23802 These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment. 23803 He that saith unto the wicked, Thou are righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him: 23804 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them. 23805 Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer. 23806 Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house. 23807 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips. 23808 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work. 23809 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; 23810 And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. 23811 Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction. 23812 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: 23813 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man. 23814 These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out. 23815 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. 23816 The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable. 23817 Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer. 23818 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness. 23819 Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men: 23820 For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen. 23821 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame. 23822 Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another: 23823 Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away. 23824 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. 23825 As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear. 23826 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters. 23827 Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain. 23828 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone. 23829 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it. 23830 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee. 23831 A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow. 23832 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint. 23833 As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart. 23834 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: 23835 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee. 23836 The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue. 23837 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house. 23838 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. 23839 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring. 23840 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory. 23841 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. 23842 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool. 23843 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come. 23844 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back. 23845 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. 23846 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. 23847 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage. 23848 The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools. 23849 As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool. 23850 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools. 23851 The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors. 23852 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly. 23853 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him. 23854 The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets. 23855 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed. 23856 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth. 23857 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason. 23858 He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears. 23859 As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death, 23860 So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport? 23861 Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. 23862 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife. 23863 The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. 23864 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross. 23865 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; 23866 When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart. 23867 Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation. 23868 Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him. 23869 A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin. 23870 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. 23871 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips. 23872 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both. 23873 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy? 23874 Open rebuke is better than secret love. 23875 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. 23876 The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. 23877 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place. 23878 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel. 23879 Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off. 23880 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me. 23881 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished. 23882 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman. 23883 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him. 23884 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. 23885 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself. 23886 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. 23887 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured. 23888 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. 23889 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. 23890 As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise. 23891 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him. 23892 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. 23893 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? 23894 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. 23895 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. 23896 And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens. 23897 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. 23898 For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged. 23899 A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food. 23900 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them. 23901 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things. 23902 Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich. 23903 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father. 23904 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. 23905 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. 23906 Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession. 23907 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. 23908 When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden. 23909 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. 23910 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. 23911 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people. 23912 The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days. 23913 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him. 23914 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. 23915 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough. 23916 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. 23917 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress. 23918 He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him. 23919 He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue. 23920 Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer. 23921 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat. 23922 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. 23923 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. 23924 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase. 23925 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. 23926 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. 23927 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance. 23928 The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it. 23929 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet. 23930 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice. 23931 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it. 23932 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath. 23933 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest. 23934 The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul. 23935 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards. 23936 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. 23937 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes. 23938 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever. 23939 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. 23940 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall. 23941 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. 23942 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. 23943 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer. 23944 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him. 23945 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length. 23946 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression. 23947 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. 23948 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not. 23949 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. 23950 Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD. 23951 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked. 23952 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal, 23953 Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man. 23954 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy. 23955 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? 23956 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 23957 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. 23958 Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die: 23959 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: 23960 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain. 23961 Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty. 23962 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother. 23963 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. 23964 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up. 23965 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men. 23966 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough: 23967 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough. 23968 The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it. 23969 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: 23970 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid. 23971 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness. 23972 For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear: 23973 For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat; 23974 For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress. 23975 There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise: 23976 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer; 23977 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks; 23978 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands; 23979 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces. 23980 There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going: 23981 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any; 23982 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up. 23983 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth. 23984 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife. 23985 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him. 23986 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows? 23987 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings. 23988 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: 23989 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted. 23990 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. 23991 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more. 23992 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. 23993 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. 23994 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. 23995 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. 23996 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. 23997 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. 23998 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. 23999 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. 24000 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. 24001 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. 24002 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. 24003 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. 24004 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. 24005 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. 24006 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. 24007 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. 24008 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. 24009 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. 24010 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. 24011 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. 24012 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. 24013 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. 24014 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. 24015 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates. 24016 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. 24017 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. 24018 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? 24019 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. 24020 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. 24021 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. 24022 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. 24023 All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. 24024 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. 24025 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. 24026 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. 24027 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem. 24028 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. 24029 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. 24030 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered. 24031 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. 24032 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. 24033 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. 24034 I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity. 24035 I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it? 24036 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. 24037 I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards: 24038 I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits: 24039 I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees: 24040 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: 24041 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. 24042 So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me. 24043 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. 24044 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. 24045 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. 24046 Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness. 24047 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. 24048 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. 24049 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. 24050 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. 24051 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. 24052 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. 24053 Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun. 24054 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. 24055 For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun? 24056 For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity. 24057 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. 24058 For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I? 24059 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. 24060 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 24061 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 24062 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 24063 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 24064 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 24065 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 24066 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 24067 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. 24068 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? 24069 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. 24070 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. 24071 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 24072 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. 24073 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. 24074 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past. 24075 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. 24076 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. 24077 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. 24078 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. 24079 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. 24080 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? 24081 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? 24082 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. 24083 Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive. 24084 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. 24085 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. 24086 The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh. 24087 Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit. 24088 Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun. 24089 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. 24090 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. 24091 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. 24092 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? 24093 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. 24094 Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished. 24095 For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor. 24096 I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead. 24097 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. 24098 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. 24099 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. 24100 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words. 24101 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. 24102 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. 24103 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? 24104 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God. 24105 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. 24106 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field. 24107 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. 24108 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? 24109 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. 24110 There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt. 24111 But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand. 24112 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. 24113 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? 24114 All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness. 24115 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. 24116 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. 24117 For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart. 24118 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men: 24119 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. 24120 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. 24121 For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness. 24122 Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other. 24123 Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place? 24124 All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled. 24125 For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living? 24126 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit. 24127 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. 24128 Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better? 24129 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? 24130 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth. 24131 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. 24132 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better. 24133 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth. 24134 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools. 24135 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity. 24136 Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart. 24137 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. 24138 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. 24139 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this. 24140 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 24141 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. 24142 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked? 24143 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. 24144 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. 24145 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself ? 24146 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? 24147 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. 24148 Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city. 24149 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. 24150 Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee: 24151 For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others. 24152 All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me. 24153 That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out? 24154 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: 24155 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. 24156 Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account: 24157 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. 24158 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions. 24159 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. 24160 I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God. 24161 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. 24162 Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou? 24163 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment. 24164 Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him. 24165 For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be? 24166 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. 24167 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. 24168 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. 24169 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. 24170 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: 24171 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. 24172 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. 24173 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. 24174 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:) 24175 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. 24176 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. 24177 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. 24178 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. 24179 For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. 24180 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. 24181 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. 24182 Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. 24183 Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment. 24184 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. 24185 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. 24186 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. 24187 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. 24188 This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me: 24189 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: 24190 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. 24191 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard. 24192 The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools. 24193 Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good. 24194 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. 24195 A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left. 24196 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. 24197 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences. 24198 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler: 24199 Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place. 24200 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth. 24201 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. 24202 Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby. 24203 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. 24204 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better. 24205 The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. 24206 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. 24207 A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him? 24208 The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city. 24209 Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning! 24210 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! 24211 By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through. 24212 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things. 24213 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. 24214 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. 24215 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. 24216 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. 24217 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. 24218 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. 24219 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. 24220 Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun: 24221 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. 24222 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. 24223 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity. 24224 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; 24225 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: 24226 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, 24227 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; 24228 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: 24229 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. 24230 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. 24231 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity. 24232 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. 24233 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth. 24234 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. 24235 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. 24236 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 24237 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. 24238 The song of songs, which is Solomon's. 24239 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine. 24240 Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee. 24241 Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee. 24242 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. 24243 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. 24244 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? 24245 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. 24246 I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots. 24247 Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold. 24248 We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver. 24249 While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof. 24250 A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts. 24251 My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi. 24252 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes. 24253 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green. 24254 The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir. 24255 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. 24256 As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. 24257 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. 24258 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. 24259 Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love. 24260 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me. 24261 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. 24262 The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. 24263 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. 24264 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. 24265 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; 24266 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; 24267 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. 24268 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. 24269 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. 24270 My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies. 24271 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. 24272 By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. 24273 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. 24274 The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth? 24275 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. 24276 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. 24277 Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant? 24278 Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel. 24279 They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night. 24280 King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon. 24281 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. 24282 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. 24283 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. 24284 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. 24285 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. 24286 Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men. 24287 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies. 24288 Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense. 24289 Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee. 24290 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. 24291 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. 24292 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! 24293 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. 24294 A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed. 24295 Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard, 24296 Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices: 24297 A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon. 24298 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. 24299 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. 24300 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. 24301 I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them? 24302 My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him. 24303 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. 24304 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. 24305 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. 24306 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love. 24307 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? 24308 My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. 24309 His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven. 24310 His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set. 24311 His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh. 24312 His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires. 24313 His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. 24314 His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem. 24315 Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee. 24316 My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies. 24317 I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies. 24318 Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners. 24319 Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead. 24320 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. 24321 As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks. 24322 There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number. 24323 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. 24324 Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners? 24325 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. 24326 Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib. 24327 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. 24328 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. 24329 Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies. 24330 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins. 24331 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. 24332 Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries. 24333 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights! 24334 This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes. 24335 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; 24336 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. 24337 I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me. 24338 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages. 24339 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. 24340 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. 24341 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. 24342 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. 24343 His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me. 24344 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please. 24345 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. 24346 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. 24347 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. 24348 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? 24349 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. 24350 I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour. 24351 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. 24352 My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred. 24353 Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear it. 24354 Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices. 24355 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. 24356 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. 24357 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. 24358 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. 24359 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. 24360 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. 24361 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. 24362 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. 24363 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah. 24364 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. 24365 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. 24366 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? 24367 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. 24368 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. 24369 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. 24370 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 24371 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. 24372 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. 24373 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 24374 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. 24375 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers. 24376 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water: 24377 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. 24378 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: 24379 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin: 24380 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. 24381 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness. 24382 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed. 24383 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen. 24384 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water. 24385 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. 24386 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. 24387 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. 24388 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. 24389 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. 24390 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD. 24391 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. 24392 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: 24393 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: 24394 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not. 24395 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty. 24396 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. 24397 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: 24398 And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, 24399 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, 24400 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, 24401 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. 24402 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. 24403 And the idols he shall utterly abolish. 24404 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. 24405 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; 24406 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. 24407 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ? 24408 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. 24409 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient, 24410 The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator. 24411 And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. 24412 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. 24413 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: 24414 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. 24415 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. 24416 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. 24417 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. 24418 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him. 24419 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. 24420 The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people. 24421 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. 24422 What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts. 24423 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: 24424 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. 24425 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, 24426 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, 24427 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, 24428 The rings, and nose jewels, 24429 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins, 24430 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails. 24431 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. 24432 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war. 24433 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground. 24434 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. 24435 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. 24436 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: 24437 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. 24438 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. 24439 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. 24440 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: 24441 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. 24442 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard. 24443 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? 24444 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: 24445 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. 24446 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. 24447 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! 24448 In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant. 24449 Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah. 24450 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! 24451 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. 24452 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. 24453 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. 24454 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: 24455 But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness. 24456 Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat. 24457 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope: 24458 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! 24459 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! 24460 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! 24461 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: 24462 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! 24463 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. 24464 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. 24465 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: 24466 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: 24467 Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind: 24468 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. 24469 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. 24470 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. 24471 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. 24472 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 24473 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 24474 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. 24475 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: 24476 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. 24477 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. 24478 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 24479 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. 24480 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, 24481 And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land. 24482 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. 24483 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. 24484 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. 24485 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; 24486 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. 24487 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying, 24488 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: 24489 Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass. 24490 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. 24491 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. 24492 Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying, 24493 Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. 24494 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD. 24495 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? 24496 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. 24497 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. 24498 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. 24499 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. 24500 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. 24501 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. 24502 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. 24503 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep; 24504 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. 24505 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. 24506 With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns. 24507 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. 24508 Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz. 24509 And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah. 24510 And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz. 24511 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. 24512 The LORD spake also unto me again, saying, 24513 Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son; 24514 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: 24515 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. 24516 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. 24517 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. 24518 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, 24519 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. 24520 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. 24521 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. 24522 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. 24523 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. 24524 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. 24525 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. 24526 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? 24527 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. 24528 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. 24529 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness. 24530 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. 24531 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. 24532 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. 24533 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. 24534 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. 24535 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. 24536 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. 24537 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel. 24538 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart, 24539 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars. 24540 Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together; 24541 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. 24542 For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts. 24543 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day. 24544 The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail. 24545 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed. 24546 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. 24547 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. 24548 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother. 24549 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm: 24550 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. 24551 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; 24552 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless! 24553 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory? 24554 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. 24555 O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation. 24556 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. 24557 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few. 24558 For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings? 24559 Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus? 24560 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria; 24561 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols? 24562 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks. 24563 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man: 24564 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped. 24565 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood. 24566 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire. 24567 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day; 24568 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer fainteth. 24569 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them. 24570 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 24571 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. 24572 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness. 24573 For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land. 24574 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt. 24575 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction. 24576 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt. 24577 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. 24578 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages: 24579 They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled. 24580 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth. 24581 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee. 24582 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. 24583 Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled. 24584 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one. 24585 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 24586 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; 24587 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: 24588 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. 24589 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. 24590 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. 24591 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 24592 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. 24593 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. 24594 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. 24595 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. 24596 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. 24597 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim. 24598 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them. 24599 And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod. 24600 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt. 24601 And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me. 24602 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. 24603 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. 24604 And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted. 24605 Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. 24606 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee. 24607 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see. 24608 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles. 24609 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness. 24610 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle. 24611 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land. 24612 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. 24613 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt: 24614 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. 24615 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. 24616 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. 24617 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. 24618 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. 24619 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. 24620 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land. 24621 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword. 24622 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished. 24623 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it. 24624 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children. 24625 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. 24626 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there. 24627 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there. 24628 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged. 24629 For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. 24630 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors. 24631 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve, 24632 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! 24633 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers. 24634 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth. 24635 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing. 24636 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us. 24637 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. 24638 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? 24639 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. 24640 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 24641 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 24642 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 24643 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 24644 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 24645 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? 24646 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. 24647 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. 24648 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned. 24649 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. 24650 For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD. 24651 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts. 24652 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: 24653 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders. 24654 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. 24655 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? 24656 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden. 24657 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent. 24658 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant. 24659 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times. 24660 What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it. 24661 The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; 24662 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off. 24663 In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly. 24664 And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him. 24665 My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee unto Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction. 24666 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing. 24667 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows. 24668 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beerelim. 24669 For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land. 24670 Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion. 24671 For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon. 24672 Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth. 24673 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land. 24674 And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness. 24675 We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so. 24676 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken. 24677 For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea. 24678 Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen. 24679 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. 24680 Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kirharesh. 24681 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail. 24682 This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that time. 24683 But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble. 24684 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. 24685 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. 24686 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts. 24687 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean. 24688 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim. 24689 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel. 24690 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel. 24691 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images. 24692 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation. 24693 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips: 24694 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow. 24695 Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! 24696 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind. 24697 And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us. 24698 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia: 24699 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled! 24700 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye. 24701 For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. 24702 For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches. 24703 They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them. 24704 In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion. 24705 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. 24706 And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom. 24707 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards. 24708 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts. 24709 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up. 24710 And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither. 24711 The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more. 24712 The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish. 24713 Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded. 24714 And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish. 24715 Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings? 24716 Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt. 24717 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof. 24718 The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit. 24719 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do. 24720 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. 24721 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. 24722 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction. 24723 In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD. 24724 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. 24725 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. 24726 And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them. 24727 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. 24728 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land: 24729 Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance. 24730 In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it; 24731 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. 24732 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; 24733 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. 24734 And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory. 24735 And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape? 24736 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. 24737 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. 24738 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. 24739 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me. 24740 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield. 24741 For thus hath the LORD said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth. 24742 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: 24743 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: 24744 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. 24745 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. 24746 The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? 24747 The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come. 24748 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim. 24749 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled. 24750 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war. 24751 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: 24752 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. 24753 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops? 24754 Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle. 24755 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. 24756 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. 24757 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. 24758 And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield. 24759 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. 24760 And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest. 24761 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. 24762 And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall. 24763 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. 24764 And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth: 24765 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. 24766 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. 24767 Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say, 24768 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? 24769 Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee. 24770 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. 24771 And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down. 24772 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah: 24773 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. 24774 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. 24775 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. 24776 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. 24777 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. 24778 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. 24779 Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished. 24780 And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her revenue; and she is a mart of nations. 24781 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. 24782 As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre. 24783 Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle. 24784 Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn. 24785 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth? 24786 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. 24787 Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength. 24788 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. 24789 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. 24790 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. 24791 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste. 24792 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. 24793 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered. 24794 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. 24795 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. 24796 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. 24797 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. 24798 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word. 24799 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish. 24800 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. 24801 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. 24802 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh. 24803 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth. 24804 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it. 24805 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in. 24806 There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone. 24807 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction. 24808 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. 24809 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea. 24810 Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea. 24811 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. 24812 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. 24813 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. 24814 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. 24815 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. 24816 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. 24817 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. 24818 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. 24819 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. 24820 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. 24821 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee. 24822 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. 24823 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. 24824 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. 24825 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. 24826 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. 24827 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. 24828 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. 24829 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. 24830 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. 24831 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. 24832 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. 24833 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. 24834 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: 24835 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. 24836 The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. 24837 The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. 24838 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. 24839 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. 24840 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. 24841 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. 24842 LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. 24843 O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. 24844 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. 24845 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. 24846 LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them. 24847 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. 24848 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. 24849 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. 24850 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. 24851 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. 24852 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. 24853 In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine. 24854 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. 24855 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. 24856 Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me. 24857 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. 24858 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? 24859 In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. 24860 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. 24861 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. 24862 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. 24863 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. 24864 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. 24865 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! 24866 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. 24867 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet: 24868 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. 24869 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, 24870 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate. 24871 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. 24872 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean. 24873 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. 24874 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 24875 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 24876 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. 24877 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. 24878 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. 24879 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: 24880 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. 24881 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. 24882 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. 24883 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. 24884 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. 24885 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. 24886 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. 24887 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech. 24888 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground? 24889 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? 24890 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him. 24891 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. 24892 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. 24893 This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working. 24894 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices. 24895 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel. 24896 And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee. 24897 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. 24898 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. 24899 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. 24900 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. 24901 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. 24902 Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. 24903 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. 24904 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: 24905 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. 24906 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: 24907 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. 24908 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? 24909 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? 24910 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? 24911 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. 24912 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. 24913 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off: 24914 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. 24915 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. 24916 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. 24917 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine. 24918 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: 24919 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! 24920 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion. 24921 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes. 24922 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. 24923 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. 24924 For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still. 24925 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: 24926 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD: 24927 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: 24928 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. 24929 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon: 24930 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. 24931 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. 24932 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. 24933 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. 24934 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. 24935 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. 24936 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. 24937 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: 24938 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. 24939 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. 24940 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. 24941 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. 24942 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. 24943 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. 24944 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: 24945 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. 24946 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. 24947 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. 24948 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod. 24949 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. 24950 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. 24951 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! 24952 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. 24953 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. 24954 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. 24955 As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it. 24956 Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted. 24957 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. 24958 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. 24959 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. 24960 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. 24961 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. 24962 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken. 24963 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly. 24964 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful. 24965 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. 24966 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. 24967 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand. 24968 Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech. 24969 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come. 24970 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins. 24971 They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine. 24972 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city: 24973 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; 24974 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. 24975 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field. 24976 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. 24977 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places; 24978 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place. 24979 Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass. 24980 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. 24981 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. 24982 At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered. 24983 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. 24984 The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness. 24985 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure. 24986 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly. 24987 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man. 24988 The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits. 24989 Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself. 24990 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you. 24991 And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire. 24992 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might. 24993 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? 24994 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; 24995 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. 24996 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off. 24997 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers? 24998 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. 24999 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. 25000 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. 25001 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us. 25002 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. 25003 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity. 25004 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. 25005 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. 25006 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. 25007 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. 25008 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment. 25009 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. 25010 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. 25011 For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion. 25012 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch. 25013 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. 25014 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. 25015 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing. 25016 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. 25017 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. 25018 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. 25019 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. 25020 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. 25021 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. 25022 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. 25023 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. 25024 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. 25025 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 25026 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. 25027 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. 25028 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. 25029 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: 25030 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. 25031 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. 25032 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. 25033 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. 25034 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? 25035 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? 25036 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. 25037 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? 25038 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. 25039 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? 25040 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. 25041 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. 25042 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? 25043 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. 25044 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you. 25045 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. 25046 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; 25047 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. 25048 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? 25049 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? 25050 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? 25051 But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not. 25052 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. 25053 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. 25054 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. 25055 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. 25056 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. 25057 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 25058 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. 25059 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. 25060 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish. 25061 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, 25062 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. 25063 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered? 25064 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? 25065 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? 25066 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. 25067 And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying, 25068 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. 25069 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. 25070 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries, 25071 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. 25072 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. 25073 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: 25074 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. 25075 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. 25076 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. 25077 I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places. 25078 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. 25079 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. 25080 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me. 25081 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. 25082 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. 25083 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward: 25084 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. 25085 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. 25086 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD. 25087 For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake. 25088 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. 25089 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. 25090 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. 25091 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. 25092 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, 25093 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. 25094 Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying, 25095 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. 25096 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city. 25097 And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken; 25098 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. 25099 The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness: 25100 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. 25101 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. 25102 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. 25103 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. 25104 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. 25105 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. 25106 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. 25107 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. 25108 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. 25109 The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth. 25110 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. 25111 For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover. 25112 Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD? 25113 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. 25114 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. 25115 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. 25116 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. 25117 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of hosts: 25118 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. 25119 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. 25120 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. 25121 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. 25122 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. 25123 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. 25124 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: 25125 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. 25126 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: 25127 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. 25128 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. 25129 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! 25130 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. 25131 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. 25132 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? 25133 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him? 25134 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? 25135 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. 25136 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering. 25137 All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity. 25138 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him? 25139 The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains. 25140 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. 25141 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? 25142 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: 25143 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. 25144 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. 25145 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. 25146 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. 25147 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? 25148 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. 25149 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 25150 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 25151 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. 25152 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. 25153 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. 25154 He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet. 25155 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he. 25156 The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came. 25157 They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage. 25158 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. 25159 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. 25160 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. 25161 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. 25162 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. 25163 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. 25164 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. 25165 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. 25166 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. 25167 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. 25168 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. 25169 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. 25170 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: 25171 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. 25172 Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob. 25173 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. 25174 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. 25175 Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you. 25176 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. 25177 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. 25178 The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings. 25179 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. 25180 Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion. 25181 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. 25182 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. 25183 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. 25184 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. 25185 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: 25186 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; 25187 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. 25188 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. 25189 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. 25190 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. 25191 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. 25192 Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands. 25193 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. 25194 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. 25195 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. 25196 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. 25197 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. 25198 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. 25199 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? 25200 Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not. 25201 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable. 25202 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. 25203 Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come? 25204 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. 25205 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. 25206 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. 25207 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. 25208 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. 25209 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. 25210 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; 25211 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; 25212 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. 25213 Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. 25214 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. 25215 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. 25216 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. 25217 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. 25218 Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it? 25219 Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships. 25220 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. 25221 Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; 25222 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. 25223 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 25224 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. 25225 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. 25226 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise. 25227 But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel. 25228 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. 25229 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. 25230 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. 25231 Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified. 25232 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. 25233 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches. 25234 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen: 25235 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. 25236 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: 25237 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses. 25238 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. 25239 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. 25240 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them. 25241 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. 25242 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. 25243 Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing? 25244 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. 25245 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. 25246 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. 25247 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. 25248 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. 25249 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: 25250 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. 25251 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand. 25252 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? 25253 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? 25254 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. 25255 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee. 25256 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. 25257 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; 25258 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish; 25259 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: 25260 That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers: 25261 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. 25262 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; 25263 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: 25264 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. 25265 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. 25266 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: 25267 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. 25268 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. 25269 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. 25270 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? 25271 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth? 25272 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 25273 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. 25274 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts. 25275 Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God. 25276 Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. 25277 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols. 25278 But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end. 25279 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. 25280 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. 25281 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. 25282 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. 25283 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 25284 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. 25285 Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. 25286 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory. 25287 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. 25288 They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity. 25289 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: 25290 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. 25291 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like? 25292 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. 25293 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. 25294 Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors. 25295 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, 25296 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: 25297 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. 25298 Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness: 25299 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. 25300 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. 25301 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers. 25302 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man. 25303 As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel. 25304 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms. 25305 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. 25306 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. 25307 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: 25308 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. 25309 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. 25310 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. 25311 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. 25312 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. 25313 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. 25314 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. 25315 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. 25316 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name. 25317 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. 25318 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass; 25319 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. 25320 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. 25321 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. 25322 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. 25323 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. 25324 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. 25325 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. 25326 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last. 25327 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. 25328 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. 25329 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous. 25330 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. 25331 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. 25332 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: 25333 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. 25334 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. 25335 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. 25336 There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked. 25337 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. 25338 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; 25339 And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified. 25340 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. 25341 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. 25342 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. 25343 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. 25344 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; 25345 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. 25346 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. 25347 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted. 25348 Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim. 25349 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. 25350 But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. 25351 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. 25352 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. 25353 Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee. 25354 Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth. 25355 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. 25356 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. 25357 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? 25358 Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders. 25359 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me. 25360 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? 25361 But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. 25362 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob. 25363 Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away. 25364 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. 25365 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering. 25366 The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. 25367 The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. 25368 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. 25369 For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. 25370 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. 25371 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. 25372 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. 25373 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. 25374 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. 25375 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him. 25376 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. 25377 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. 25378 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. 25379 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. 25380 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. 25381 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. 25382 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? 25383 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? 25384 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. 25385 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; 25386 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? 25387 The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail. 25388 But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name. 25389 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. 25390 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. 25391 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. 25392 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? 25393 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. 25394 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine: 25395 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: 25396 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. 25397 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. 25398 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion. 25399 For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money. 25400 For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. 25401 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. 25402 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. 25403 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! 25404 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. 25405 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. 25406 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. 25407 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. 25408 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. 25409 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. 25410 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: 25411 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. 25412 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? 25413 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. 25414 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. 25415 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 25416 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. 25417 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. 25418 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. 25419 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. 25420 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. 25421 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. 25422 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. 25423 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. 25424 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. 25425 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; 25426 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. 25427 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. 25428 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. 25429 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. 25430 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. 25431 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. 25432 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. 25433 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. 25434 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. 25435 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. 25436 And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children. 25437 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. 25438 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. 25439 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. 25440 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. 25441 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. 25442 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. 25443 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. 25444 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. 25445 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. 25446 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 25447 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. 25448 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 25449 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 25450 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: 25451 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. 25452 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. 25453 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. 25454 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. 25455 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. 25456 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. 25457 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; 25458 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. 25459 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; 25460 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. 25461 The Lord GOD, which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him. 25462 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest. 25463 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 25464 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. 25465 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. 25466 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. 25467 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness. 25468 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore. 25469 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. 25470 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks? 25471 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? 25472 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice. 25473 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. 25474 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. 25475 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. 25476 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? 25477 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee. 25478 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; 25479 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people. 25480 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. 25481 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. 25482 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. 25483 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners. 25484 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. 25485 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. 25486 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked. 25487 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. 25488 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. 25489 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. 25490 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. 25491 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? 25492 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? 25493 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? 25494 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. 25495 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; 25496 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: 25497 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. 25498 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. 25499 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: 25500 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. 25501 Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 25502 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. 25503 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. 25504 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. 25505 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. 25506 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. 25507 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. 25508 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. 25509 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. 25510 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. 25511 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. 25512 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; 25513 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. 25514 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. 25515 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. 25516 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. 25517 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. 25518 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence. 25519 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. 25520 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. 25521 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. 25522 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 25523 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. 25524 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. 25525 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. 25526 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. 25527 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD. 25528 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory. 25529 Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows? 25530 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee. 25531 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee. 25532 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought. 25533 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted. 25534 The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious. 25535 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee; The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. 25536 Whereas thou has been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. 25537 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob. 25538 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness. 25539 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. 25540 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. 25541 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. 25542 Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. 25543 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time. 25544 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 25545 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 25546 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. 25547 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. 25548 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. 25549 But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves. 25550 For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them. 25551 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. 25552 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed. 25553 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. 25554 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations. 25555 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. 25556 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name. 25557 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. 25558 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. 25559 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee. 25560 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, 25561 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. 25562 The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured: 25563 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness. 25564 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people. 25565 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. 25566 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken. 25567 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. 25568 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? 25569 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. 25570 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. 25571 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. 25572 And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth. 25573 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses. 25574 For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour. 25575 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. 25576 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. 25577 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? 25578 That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name? 25579 That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble? 25580 As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name. 25581 Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained? 25582 Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting. 25583 O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance. 25584 The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary. 25585 We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name. 25586 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, 25587 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! 25588 When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. 25589 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. 25590 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. 25591 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. 25592 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. 25593 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. 25594 Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people. 25595 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. 25596 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste. 25597 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore? 25598 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. 25599 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; 25600 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; 25601 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; 25602 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. 25603 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom, 25604 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. 25605 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. 25606 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. 25607 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. 25608 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. 25609 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. 25610 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: 25611 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit. 25612 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: 25613 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. 25614 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. 25615 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. 25616 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. 25617 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. 25618 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 25619 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. 25620 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. 25621 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. 25622 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. 25623 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? 25624 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. 25625 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. 25626 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. 25627 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. 25628 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies. 25629 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. 25630 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. 25631 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. 25632 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: 25633 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. 25634 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. 25635 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. 25636 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. 25637 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. 25638 For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many. 25639 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. 25640 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. 25641 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. 25642 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. 25643 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD. 25644 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. 25645 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. 25646 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. 25647 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin: 25648 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. 25649 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. 25650 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 25651 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. 25652 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. 25653 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. 25654 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. 25655 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. 25656 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. 25657 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. 25658 Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it. 25659 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. 25660 Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land. 25661 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. 25662 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. 25663 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. 25664 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. 25665 And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee. 25666 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 25667 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. 25668 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. 25669 Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel: 25670 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? 25671 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? 25672 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. 25673 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. 25674 Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children's children will I plead. 25675 For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing. 25676 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. 25677 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD. 25678 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. 25679 Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled? 25680 The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant. 25681 Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head. 25682 Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way? 25683 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? 25684 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. 25685 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. 25686 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? 25687 For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD. 25688 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; 25689 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. 25690 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. 25691 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. 25692 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. 25693 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. 25694 Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD. 25695 In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion. 25696 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? 25697 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number. 25698 Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways. 25699 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. 25700 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. 25701 Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria. 25702 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. 25703 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. 25704 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. 25705 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. 25706 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth? 25707 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. 25708 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. 25709 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. 25710 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. 25711 And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks. 25712 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD. 25713 And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah. 25714 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. 25715 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. 25716 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: 25717 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. 25718 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. 25719 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. 25720 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. 25721 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. 25722 Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD. 25723 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. 25724 Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God. 25725 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. 25726 For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters. 25727 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. 25728 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. 25729 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. 25730 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns. 25731 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. 25732 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. 25733 Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction. 25734 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. 25735 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us. 25736 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. 25737 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. 25738 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, 25739 Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them. 25740 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. 25741 O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee? 25742 For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim. 25743 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. 25744 As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD. 25745 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. 25746 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. 25747 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment. 25748 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet? 25749 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. 25750 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. 25751 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. 25752 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. 25753 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. 25754 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. 25755 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. 25756 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. 25757 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. 25758 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. 25759 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. 25760 And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely. 25761 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. 25762 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. 25763 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. 25764 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. 25765 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. 25766 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife. 25767 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 25768 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. 25769 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD. 25770 They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine: 25771 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them. 25772 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. 25773 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. 25774 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men. 25775 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. 25776 Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you. 25777 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 your's. 25778 Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying, 25779 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not: 25780 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? 25781 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. 25782 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. 25783 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you. 25784 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men. 25785 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. 25786 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. 25787 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 25788 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; 25789 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? 25790 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. 25791 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman. 25792 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. 25793 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. 25794 Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces. 25795 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. 25796 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. 25797 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited. 25798 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. 25799 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. 25800 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. 25801 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. 25802 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. 25803 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. 25804 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. 25805 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. 25806 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken. 25807 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. 25808 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. 25809 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. 25810 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. 25811 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. 25812 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. 25813 We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail. 25814 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side. 25815 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. 25816 I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way. 25817 They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters. 25818 The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away. 25819 Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them. 25820 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 25821 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. 25822 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. 25823 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these. 25824 For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour; 25825 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: 25826 Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever. 25827 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. 25828 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; 25829 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? 25830 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. 25831 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. 25832 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; 25833 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. 25834 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim. 25835 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. 25836 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 25837 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. 25838 Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? 25839 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. 25840 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh. 25841 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: 25842 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. 25843 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. 25844 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: 25845 Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers. 25846 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. 25847 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. 25848 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. 25849 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. 25850 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. 25851 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. 25852 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. 25853 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. 25854 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: 25855 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. 25856 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. 25857 Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return? 25858 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return. 25859 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. 25860 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. 25861 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. 25862 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? 25863 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. 25864 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. 25865 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. 25866 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. 25867 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. 25868 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble! 25869 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. 25870 For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD. 25871 When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me. 25872 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? 25873 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. 25874 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me. 25875 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered? 25876 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! 25877 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. 25878 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. 25879 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. 25880 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. 25881 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD. 25882 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? 25883 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. 25884 Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 25885 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. 25886 And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant. 25887 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? 25888 And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein; 25889 But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them: 25890 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. 25891 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. 25892 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: 25893 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. 25894 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. 25895 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. 25896 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. 25897 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. 25898 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: 25899 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD. 25900 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised; 25901 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. 25902 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: 25903 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. 25904 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. 25905 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. 25906 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. 25907 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might. 25908 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. 25909 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities. 25910 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. 25911 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. 25912 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. 25913 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. 25914 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. 25915 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. 25916 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. 25917 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. 25918 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress. 25919 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. 25920 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it. 25921 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. 25922 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered. 25923 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. 25924 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. 25925 O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing. 25926 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. 25927 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD saying, 25928 Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem; 25929 And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant, 25930 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: 25931 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. 25932 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. 25933 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. 25934 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. 25935 And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 25936 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. 25937 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. 25938 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. 25939 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. 25940 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. 25941 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. 25942 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. 25943 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. 25944 And the LORD hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then thou shewedst me their doings. 25945 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. 25946 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. 25947 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: 25948 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: 25949 And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation. 25950 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? 25951 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. 25952 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. 25953 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. 25954 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? 25955 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. 25956 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. 25957 Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it. 25958 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. 25959 Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. 25960 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. 25961 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. 25962 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. 25963 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. 25964 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. 25965 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. 25966 But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD. 25967 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. 25968 So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my loins. 25969 And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, 25970 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. 25971 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me. 25972 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. 25973 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. 25974 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 25975 Thus saith the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem. 25976 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. 25977 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. 25978 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? 25979 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. 25980 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. 25981 Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken. 25982 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. 25983 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. 25984 Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory. 25985 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. 25986 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock? 25987 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? 25988 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. 25989 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil. 25990 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness. 25991 This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood. 25992 Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear. 25993 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? 25994 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth. 25995 Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up. 25996 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. 25997 Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads. 25998 Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass. 25999 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. 26000 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. 26001 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? 26002 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. 26003 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. 26004 Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for their good. 26005 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. 26006 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. 26007 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. 26008 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. 26009 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. 26010 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. 26011 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. 26012 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! 26013 We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee. 26014 Do not abhor us, for thy name's sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us. 26015 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. 26016 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. 26017 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. 26018 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. 26019 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. 26020 For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest? 26021 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. 26022 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. 26023 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. 26024 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. 26025 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. 26026 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. 26027 Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel? 26028 Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders. 26029 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. 26030 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. 26031 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. 26032 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. 26033 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? 26034 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. 26035 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. 26036 And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible. 26037 The word of the LORD came also unto me, saying, 26038 Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place. 26039 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; 26040 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. 26041 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 lovingkindness and mercies. 26042 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: 26043 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. 26044 Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink. 26045 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. 26046 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? 26047 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; 26048 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: 26049 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. 26050 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; 26051 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. 26052 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. 26053 For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes. 26054 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. 26055 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. 26056 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? 26057 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. 26058 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; 26059 Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills. 26060 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. 26061 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. 26062 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 26063 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. 26064 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 26065 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. 26066 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 26067 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. 26068 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. 26069 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. 26070 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. 26071 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. 26072 Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now. 26073 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. 26074 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil. 26075 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. 26076 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; 26077 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: 26078 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; 26079 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. 26080 But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction. 26081 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; 26082 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. 26083 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. 26084 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. 26085 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 26086 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. 26087 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 26088 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. 26089 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 26090 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. 26091 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; 26092 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. 26093 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; 26094 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. 26095 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. 26096 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. 26097 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. 26098 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? 26099 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; 26100 To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head. 26101 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. 26102 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. 26103 Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me. 26104 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. 26105 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. 26106 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. 26107 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. 26108 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; 26109 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, 26110 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. 26111 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; 26112 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: 26113 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. 26114 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. 26115 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. 26116 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. 26117 Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee, 26118 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. 26119 Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet: 26120 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. 26121 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, 26122 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. 26123 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. 26124 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. 26125 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. 26126 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. 26127 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. 26128 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. 26129 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. 26130 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. 26131 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. 26132 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. 26133 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. 26134 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. 26135 Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers. 26136 Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed. 26137 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad. 26138 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; 26139 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. 26140 Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame? 26141 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, 26142 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. 26143 Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah: 26144 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. 26145 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. 26146 And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence. 26147 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. 26148 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. 26149 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. 26150 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. 26151 And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of the LORD; 26152 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. 26153 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? 26154 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. 26155 Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word, 26156 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: 26157 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. 26158 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. 26159 But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation. 26160 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. 26161 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. 26162 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? 26163 Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them. 26164 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. 26165 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: 26166 But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more. 26167 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; 26168 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. 26169 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? 26170 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD. 26171 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. 26172 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! 26173 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem. 26174 Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed. 26175 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. 26176 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. 26177 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! 26178 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; 26179 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. 26180 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. 26181 But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return. 26182 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? 26183 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD. 26184 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. 26185 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. 26186 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. 26187 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. 26188 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. 26189 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. 26190 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. 26191 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; 26192 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. 26193 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. 26194 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. 26195 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD. 26196 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. 26197 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err. 26198 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. 26199 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. 26200 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. 26201 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. 26202 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? 26203 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. 26204 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. 26205 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. 26206 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. 26207 Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? 26208 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. 26209 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. 26210 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; 26211 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. 26212 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. 26213 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? 26214 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour. 26215 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. 26216 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. 26217 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. 26218 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. 26219 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? 26220 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. 26221 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What hath the LORD spoken? 26222 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; 26223 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: 26224 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten. 26225 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. 26226 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. 26227 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. 26228 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 26229 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. 26230 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. 26231 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. 26232 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: 26233 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. 26234 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. 26235 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; 26236 The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, 26237 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. 26238 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. 26239 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: 26240 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. 26241 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. 26242 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words, 26243 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. 26244 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. 26245 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. 26246 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. 26247 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. 26248 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. 26249 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. 26250 And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. 26251 Then took I the cup at the LORD's hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me: 26252 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; 26253 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people; 26254 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, 26255 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon, 26256 And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea, 26257 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners, 26258 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert, 26259 And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes, 26260 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. 26261 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. 26262 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. 26263 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. 26264 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. 26265 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. 26266 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. 26267 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. 26268 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. 26269 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape. 26270 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. 26271 And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD. 26272 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. 26273 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from the LORD, saying, 26274 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: 26275 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. 26276 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, 26277 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; 26278 Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth. 26279 So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD. 26280 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. 26281 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. 26282 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. 26283 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. 26284 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. 26285 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. 26286 As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you. 26287 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. 26288 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. 26289 Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying, 26290 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. 26291 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. 26292 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. 26293 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; 26294 And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt. 26295 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. 26296 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. 26297 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 26298 Thus saith the LORD to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck, 26299 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; 26300 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; 26301 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. 26302 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. 26303 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. 26304 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. 26305 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: 26306 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. 26307 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. 26308 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. 26309 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? 26310 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. 26311 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. 26312 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. 26313 Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste? 26314 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. 26315 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. 26316 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; 26317 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; 26318 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. 26319 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, 26320 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. 26321 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: 26322 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. 26323 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, 26324 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. 26325 Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people; 26326 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. 26327 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. 26328 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it. 26329 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. 26330 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, 26331 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. 26332 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. 26333 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. 26334 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. 26335 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month. 26336 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; 26337 (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;) 26338 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, 26339 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; 26340 Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them; 26341 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. 26342 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. 26343 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. 26344 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD. 26345 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. 26346 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. 26347 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 26348 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 26349 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. 26350 Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon; 26351 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; 26352 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. 26353 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: 26354 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. 26355 Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon: 26356 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; 26357 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; 26358 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. 26359 Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying, 26360 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, 26361 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. 26362 Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you? 26363 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. 26364 And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet. 26365 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying, 26366 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: 26367 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. 26368 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 26369 Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book. 26370 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. 26371 And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah. 26372 For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. 26373 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? 26374 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. 26375 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: 26376 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them. 26377 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. 26378 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 I will not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished. 26379 For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous. 26380 There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines. 26381 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. 26382 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. 26383 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. 26384 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. 26385 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. 26386 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. 26387 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. 26388 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. 26389 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. 26390 Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. 26391 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he hath done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it. 26392 At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. 26393 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. 26394 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. 26395 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. 26396 Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things. 26397 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. 26398 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. 26399 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. 26400 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. 26401 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. 26402 For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he. 26403 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. 26404 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. 26405 And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD. 26406 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. 26407 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. 26408 And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border. 26409 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. 26410 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. 26411 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. 26412 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. 26413 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. 26414 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. 26415 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks. 26416 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul. 26417 Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me. 26418 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. 26419 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. 26420 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. 26421 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. 26422 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: 26423 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: 26424 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. 26425 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. 26426 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: 26427 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. 26428 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. 26429 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. 26430 And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath. 26431 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. 26432 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. 26433 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. 26434 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; 26435 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; 26436 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. 26437 And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 26438 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. 26439 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. 26440 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. 26441 And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances. 26442 So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open: 26443 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. 26444 And I charged Baruch before them, saying, 26445 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. 26446 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land. 26447 Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the LORD, saying, 26448 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: 26449 Thou shewest lovingkindness 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, 26450 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: 26451 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; 26452 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; 26453 And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey; 26454 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: 26455 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. 26456 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. 26457 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying, 26458 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? 26459 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: 26460 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. 26461 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. 26462 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, 26463 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. 26464 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. 26465 But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it. 26466 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. 26467 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; 26468 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: 26469 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God: 26470 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: 26471 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. 26472 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. 26473 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. 26474 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. 26475 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. 26476 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, 26477 Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name; 26478 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. 26479 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; 26480 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. 26481 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth. 26482 And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first. 26483 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. 26484 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. 26485 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, 26486 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. 26487 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. 26488 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. 26489 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. 26490 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. 26491 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. 26492 For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; 26493 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. 26494 And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying, 26495 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; 26496 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. 26497 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. 26498 Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, 26499 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. 26500 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; 26501 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. 26502 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, 26503 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: 26504 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. 26505 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: 26506 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. 26507 Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem, 26508 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. 26509 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; 26510 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. 26511 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. 26512 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. 26513 Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 26514 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, 26515 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. 26516 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: 26517 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. 26518 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. 26519 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, 26520 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; 26521 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. 26522 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. 26523 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. 26524 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying, 26525 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. 26526 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; 26527 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: 26528 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. 26529 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: 26530 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. 26531 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; 26532 Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed: 26533 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us. 26534 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. 26535 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying, 26536 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. 26537 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. 26538 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. 26539 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: 26540 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. 26541 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: 26542 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. 26543 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, 26544 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. 26545 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. 26546 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. 26547 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of the LORD: 26548 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. 26549 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. 26550 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. 26551 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. 26552 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. 26553 When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the LORD, 26554 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. 26555 Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people. 26556 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. 26557 And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears. 26558 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. 26559 And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth? 26560 Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book. 26561 Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be. 26562 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. 26563 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. 26564 Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him. 26565 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. 26566 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words. 26567 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. 26568 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. 26569 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, 26570 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. 26571 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? 26572 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. 26573 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. 26574 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. 26575 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. 26576 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. 26577 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. 26578 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison. 26579 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. 26580 Then came the word of the LORD unto the prophet Jeremiah saying, 26581 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. 26582 And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire. 26583 Thus saith the LORD; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart. 26584 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. 26585 And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army, 26586 Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself thence in the midst of the people. 26587 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. 26588 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. 26589 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. 26590 When Jeremiah was entered into the dungeon, and into the cabins, and Jeremiah had remained there many days; 26591 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. 26592 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? 26593 Where are now your prophets which prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land? 26594 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. 26595 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. 26596 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, 26597 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. 26598 Thus saith the LORD, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which shall take it. 26599 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. 26600 Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand: for the king is not he that can do any thing against you. 26601 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. 26602 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; 26603 Ebedmelech went forth out of the king's house, and spake to the king saying, 26604 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. 26605 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. 26606 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. 26607 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. 26608 So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison. 26609 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. 26610 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? 26611 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. 26612 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: 26613 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. 26614 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. 26615 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. 26616 But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that the LORD hath shewed me: 26617 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. 26618 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. 26619 Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die. 26620 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: 26621 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. 26622 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. 26623 So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and he was there when Jerusalem was taken. 26624 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. 26625 And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up. 26626 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. 26627 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. 26628 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. 26629 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. 26630 Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon. 26631 And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem. 26632 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. 26633 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. 26634 Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying, 26635 Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee. 26636 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rabsaris, and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon's princes; 26637 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. 26638 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 26639 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. 26640 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. 26641 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. 26642 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. 26643 And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said unto him, The LORD thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place. 26644 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. 26645 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. 26646 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. 26647 Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land. 26648 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; 26649 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. 26650 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. 26651 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. 26652 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; 26653 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. 26654 Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, 26655 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. 26656 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? 26657 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. 26658 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. 26659 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. 26660 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. 26661 And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it, 26662 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. 26663 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. 26664 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. 26665 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. 26666 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. 26667 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. 26668 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, 26669 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. 26670 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. 26671 So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah. 26672 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites. 26673 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: 26674 And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt, 26675 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. 26676 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, 26677 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:) 26678 That the LORD thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do. 26679 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. 26680 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. 26681 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. 26682 And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah. 26683 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, 26684 And said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him; 26685 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. 26686 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. 26687 And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land. 26688 But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the LORD your God, 26689 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: 26690 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; 26691 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. 26692 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. 26693 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. 26694 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. 26695 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. 26696 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. 26697 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. 26698 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, 26699 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: 26700 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. 26701 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. 26702 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; 26703 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. 26704 So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: thus came they even to Tahpanhes. 26705 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying, 26706 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; 26707 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. 26708 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. 26709 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. 26710 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. 26711 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, 26712 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, 26713 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. 26714 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. 26715 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods. 26716 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. 26717 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; 26718 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? 26719 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? 26720 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. 26721 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. 26722 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. 26723 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: 26724 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. 26725 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, 26726 As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee. 26727 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. 26728 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. 26729 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? 26730 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, 26731 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? 26732 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. 26733 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. 26734 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: 26735 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. 26736 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. 26737 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. 26738 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 their's. 26739 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: 26740 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. 26741 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, 26742 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch: 26743 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. 26744 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. 26745 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. 26746 The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles; 26747 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. 26748 Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle. 26749 Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines. 26750 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. 26751 Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates. 26752 Who is this that cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers? 26753 Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof. 26754 Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow. 26755 For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates. 26756 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured. 26757 The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both together. 26758 The word that the LORD spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt. 26759 Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword shall devour round about thee. 26760 Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them. 26761 He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword. 26762 They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed. 26763 As I live, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come. 26764 O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant. 26765 Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction cometh; it cometh out of the north. 26766 Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation. 26767 The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood. 26768 They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable. 26769 The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north. 26770 The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him: 26771 And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the LORD. 26772 But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid. 26773 Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished. 26774 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza. 26775 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl. 26776 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands; 26777 Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor. 26778 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself? 26779 O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still. 26780 How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it. 26781 Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed. 26782 There shall be no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee. 26783 A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction. 26784 Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard. 26785 For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction. 26786 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness. 26787 For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together. 26788 And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken. 26789 Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein. 26790 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood. 26791 Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed. 26792 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles. 26793 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence. 26794 How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war? 26795 Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts. 26796 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast. 26797 All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod! 26798 Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holds. 26799 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done? 26800 Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled, 26801 And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath, 26802 And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim, 26803 And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon, 26804 And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near. 26805 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD. 26806 Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himself against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision. 26807 For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy. 26808 O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth. 26809 We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart. 26810 I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it. 26811 Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres. 26812 O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage. 26813 And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab, and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting. 26814 From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate. 26815 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods. 26816 Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches that he hath gotten are perished. 26817 For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth. 26818 There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the LORD. 26819 They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him. 26820 For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab. 26821 Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs. 26822 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the LORD. 26823 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD. 26824 He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD. 26825 They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones. 26826 Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives. 26827 Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab. 26828 Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the LORD; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities? 26829 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith the LORD. 26830 Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and his priests and his princes together. 26831 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me? 26832 Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts, from all those that be about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth. 26833 And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the LORD. 26834 Concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished? 26835 Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will visit him. 26836 If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough. 26837 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not. 26838 Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me. 26839 For thus saith the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and art thou he that shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink of it. 26840 For I have sworn by myself, saith the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes. 26841 I have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, saying, Gather ye together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle. 26842 For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, and despised among men. 26843 Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD. 26844 Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof. 26845 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it. 26846 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me? 26847 Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them. 26848 The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea. 26849 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs. 26850 Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet. 26851 Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail. 26852 How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy! 26853 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts. 26854 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad. 26855 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the LORD; Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east. 26856 Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Fear is on every side. 26857 Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you. 26858 Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the LORD, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone. 26859 And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them that are in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the LORD. 26860 And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it. 26861 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, 26862 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might. 26863 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come. 26864 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them: 26865 And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the LORD. 26866 But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD. 26867 The word that the LORD spake against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet. 26868 Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces. 26869 For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast. 26870 In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God. 26871 They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten. 26872 My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace. 26873 All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers. 26874 Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks. 26875 For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain. 26876 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the LORD. 26877 Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls; 26878 Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. 26879 Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues. 26880 Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the LORD. 26881 Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her. 26882 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land. 26883 Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones. 26884 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria. 26885 And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead. 26886 In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve. 26887 Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded thee. 26888 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction. 26889 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations! 26890 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD. 26891 The LORD hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord GOD of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans. 26892 Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left. 26893 Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation. 26894 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple. 26895 Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel. 26896 Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD. 26897 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee. 26898 And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him. 26899 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go. 26900 Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon. 26901 A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men. 26902 A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed. 26903 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed. 26904 A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols. 26905 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation. 26906 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein. 26907 Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. 26908 They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon. 26909 The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail. 26910 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me? 26911 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them. 26912 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations. 26913 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind; 26914 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. 26915 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. 26916 Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets. 26917 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. 26918 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. 26919 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. 26920 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed. 26921 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. 26922 The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God. 26923 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. 26924 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. 26925 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness. 26926 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. 26927 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. 26928 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. 26929 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. 26930 They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. 26931 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. 26932 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; 26933 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; 26934 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; 26935 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. 26936 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. 26937 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. 26938 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. 26939 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. 26940 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. 26941 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. 26942 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. 26943 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, 26944 And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted. 26945 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. 26946 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. 26947 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. 26948 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. 26949 And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant. 26950 They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions' whelps. 26951 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. 26952 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats. 26953 How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations! 26954 The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof. 26955 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. 26956 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. 26957 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD. 26958 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. 26959 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. 26960 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. 26961 As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth. 26962 Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind. 26963 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. 26964 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. 26965 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. 26966 A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans: 26967 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: 26968 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. 26969 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. 26970 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. 26971 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. 26972 So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon. 26973 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words; 26974 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. 26975 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: 26976 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. 26977 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. 26978 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. 26979 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. 26980 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. 26981 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. 26982 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. 26983 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. 26984 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. 26985 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. 26986 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah. 26987 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. 26988 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, 26989 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: 26990 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about. 26991 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. 26992 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen. 26993 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. 26994 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. 26995 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. 26996 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. 26997 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. 26998 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. 26999 And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about. 27000 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door: 27001 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. 27002 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah. 27003 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. 27004 This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty: 27005 In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons: 27006 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. 27007 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. 27008 And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon, 27009 And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life. 27010 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. 27011 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! 27012 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. 27013 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. 27014 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. 27015 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. 27016 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. 27017 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. 27018 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. 27019 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. 27020 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. 27021 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. 27022 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. 27023 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. 27024 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. 27025 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. 27026 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. 27027 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. 27028 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. 27029 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. 27030 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. 27031 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. 27032 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. 27033 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! 27034 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. 27035 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. 27036 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. 27037 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. 27038 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. 27039 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. 27040 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. 27041 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. 27042 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. 27043 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. 27044 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. 27045 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? 27046 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. 27047 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? 27048 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. 27049 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. 27050 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. 27051 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. 27052 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? 27053 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. 27054 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. 27055 I AM the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. 27056 He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light. 27057 Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day. 27058 My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones. 27059 He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail. 27060 He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old. 27061 He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy. 27062 Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer. 27063 He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked. 27064 He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places. 27065 He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate. 27066 He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow. 27067 He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins. 27068 I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day. 27069 He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood. 27070 He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes. 27071 And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity. 27072 And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD: 27073 Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. 27074 My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me. 27075 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 27076 It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 27077 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 27078 The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. 27079 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 27080 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. 27081 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke of his youth. 27082 He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him. 27083 He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope. 27084 He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach. 27085 For the LORD will not cast off for ever: 27086 But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. 27087 For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. 27088 To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth. 27089 To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High, 27090 To subvert a man in his cause, the LORD approveth not. 27091 Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? 27092 Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good? 27093 Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? 27094 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD. 27095 Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens. 27096 We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned. 27097 Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied. 27098 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through. 27099 Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people. 27100 All our enemies have opened their mouths against us. 27101 Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction. 27102 Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people. 27103 Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission. 27104 Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven. 27105 Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city. 27106 Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause. 27107 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me. 27108 Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off. 27109 I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon. 27110 Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry. 27111 Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not. 27112 O LORD, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life. 27113 O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause. 27114 Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me. 27115 Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me; 27116 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day. 27117 Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick. 27118 Render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands. 27119 Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them. 27120 Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD. 27121 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. 27122 The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter! 27123 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. 27124 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. 27125 They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills. 27126 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. 27127 Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire: 27128 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. 27129 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. 27130 The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people. 27131 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. 27132 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. 27133 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, 27134 They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments. 27135 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. 27136 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. 27137 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. 27138 They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come. 27139 Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness. 27140 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. 27141 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. 27142 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. 27143 Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach. 27144 Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens. 27145 We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows. 27146 We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us. 27147 Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest. 27148 We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread. 27149 Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities. 27150 Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand. 27151 We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness. 27152 Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine. 27153 They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah. 27154 Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured. 27155 They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood. 27156 The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick. 27157 The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning. 27158 The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned! 27159 For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim. 27160 Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it. 27161 Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation. 27162 Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time? 27163 Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old. 27164 But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us. 27165 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. 27166 In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity, 27167 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. 27168 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. 27169 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. 27170 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. 27171 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. 27172 And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. 27173 Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward. 27174 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. 27175 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. 27176 And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went. 27177 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. 27178 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning. 27179 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces. 27180 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. 27181 When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went. 27182 As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four. 27183 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. 27184 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. 27185 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. 27186 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. 27187 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. 27188 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. 27189 And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings. 27190 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. 27191 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. 27192 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. 27193 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. 27194 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. 27195 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. 27196 For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD. 27197 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. 27198 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. 27199 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious. 27200 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. 27201 And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein; 27202 And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe. 27203 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel. 27204 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll. 27205 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. 27206 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them. 27207 For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel; 27208 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. 27209 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. 27210 Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads. 27211 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. 27212 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. 27213 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. 27214 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. 27215 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. 27216 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. 27217 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. 27218 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27219 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. 27220 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. 27221 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. 27222 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. 27223 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. 27224 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. 27225 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. 27226 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. 27227 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: 27228 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. 27229 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. 27230 Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, even Jerusalem: 27231 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. 27232 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. 27233 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. 27234 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. 27235 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. 27236 Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it. 27237 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. 27238 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. 27239 And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it. 27240 Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink. 27241 And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight. 27242 And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them. 27243 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. 27244 Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith. 27245 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: 27246 That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away for their iniquity. 27247 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. 27248 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. 27249 Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts. 27250 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. 27251 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. 27252 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. 27253 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; 27254 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. 27255 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. 27256 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. 27257 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. 27258 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. 27259 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. 27260 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. 27261 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. 27262 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: 27263 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. 27264 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27265 Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them, 27266 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. 27267 And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain men before your idols. 27268 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. 27269 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. 27270 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 27271 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. 27272 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. 27273 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. 27274 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. 27275 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. 27276 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. 27277 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. 27278 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27279 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. 27280 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. 27281 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. 27282 Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come. 27283 An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come. 27284 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. 27285 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. 27286 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. 27287 Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded. 27288 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of their's: neither shall there be wailing for them. 27289 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. 27290 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. 27291 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. 27292 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. 27293 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. 27294 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water. 27295 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. 27296 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. 27297 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. 27298 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. 27299 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. 27300 Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence. 27301 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. 27302 Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none. 27303 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. 27304 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. 27305 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. 27306 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. 27307 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. 27308 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain. 27309 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. 27310 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. 27311 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall. 27312 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. 27313 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. 27314 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. 27315 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. 27316 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. 27317 He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do. 27318 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. 27319 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. 27320 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. 27321 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. 27322 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. 27323 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. 27324 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. 27325 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; 27326 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. 27327 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: 27328 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. 27329 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. 27330 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? 27331 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. 27332 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head. 27333 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. 27334 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. 27335 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. 27336 Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court. 27337 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. 27338 And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh. 27339 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. 27340 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. 27341 And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under their wings. 27342 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. 27343 And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel. 27344 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. 27345 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. 27346 As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel. 27347 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. 27348 And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar. 27349 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. 27350 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. 27351 Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims. 27352 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. 27353 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. 27354 Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings. 27355 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. 27356 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. 27357 Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city: 27358 Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh. 27359 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man. 27360 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. 27361 Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain. 27362 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. 27363 Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord GOD. 27364 And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you. 27365 Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 27366 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: 27367 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. 27368 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? 27369 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27370 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. 27371 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. 27372 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. 27373 And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence. 27374 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: 27375 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. 27376 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. 27377 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. 27378 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. 27379 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. 27380 Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shewed me. 27381 The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying, 27382 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. 27383 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. 27384 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. 27385 Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby. 27386 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. 27387 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. 27388 And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying, 27389 Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou? 27390 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. 27391 Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity. 27392 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. 27393 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. 27394 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. 27395 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries. 27396 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. 27397 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 27398 Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness; 27399 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. 27400 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. 27401 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27402 Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth? 27403 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. 27404 For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel. 27405 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. 27406 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying. 27407 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. 27408 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. 27409 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27410 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; 27411 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! 27412 O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. 27413 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. 27414 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. 27415 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? 27416 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD. 27417 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. 27418 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: 27419 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. 27420 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it? 27421 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. 27422 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. 27423 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; 27424 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. 27425 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, 27426 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? 27427 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? 27428 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. 27429 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. 27430 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: 27431 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. 27432 Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me. 27433 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27434 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? 27435 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; 27436 That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols. 27437 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. 27438 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: 27439 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. 27440 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. 27441 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; 27442 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. 27443 The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, 27444 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: 27445 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. 27446 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: 27447 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. 27448 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: 27449 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. 27450 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: 27451 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. 27452 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? 27453 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. 27454 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. 27455 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27456 Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest? 27457 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon? 27458 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? 27459 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? 27460 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. 27461 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. 27462 And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD. 27463 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27464 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations, 27465 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. 27466 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. 27467 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. 27468 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. 27469 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. 27470 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. 27471 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil. 27472 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. 27473 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck. 27474 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head. 27475 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. 27476 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. 27477 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. 27478 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. 27479 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, 27480 And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them. 27481 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. 27482 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, 27483 That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them? 27484 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. 27485 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the LORD GOD;) 27486 That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street. 27487 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. 27488 Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger. 27489 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. 27490 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. 27491 Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied therewith. 27492 How weak is thine heart, saith the LORD GOD, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman; 27493 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; 27494 But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband! 27495 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. 27496 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. 27497 Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD: 27498 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; 27499 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. 27500 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. 27501 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. 27502 They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords. 27503 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. 27504 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. 27505 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. 27506 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter. 27507 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. 27508 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. 27509 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. 27510 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. 27511 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. 27512 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good. 27513 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. 27514 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. 27515 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: 27516 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. 27517 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. 27518 For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride, 27519 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. 27520 Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith the LORD. 27521 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. 27522 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant. 27523 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. 27524 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: 27525 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. 27526 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27527 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel; 27528 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: 27529 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. 27530 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. 27531 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. 27532 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. 27533 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. 27534 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. 27535 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. 27536 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27537 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; 27538 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: 27539 That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand. 27540 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? 27541 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. 27542 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: 27543 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. 27544 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. 27545 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. 27546 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. 27547 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: 27548 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. 27549 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. 27550 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying, 27551 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? 27552 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel. 27553 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. 27554 But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right, 27555 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, 27556 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; 27557 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, 27558 Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD. 27559 If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth the like to any one of these things, 27560 And that doeth not any of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife, 27561 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, 27562 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. 27563 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, 27564 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, 27565 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, 27566 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. 27567 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. 27568 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. 27569 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. 27570 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. 27571 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 27572 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? 27573 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. 27574 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? 27575 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. 27576 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. 27577 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 27578 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? 27579 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. 27580 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? 27581 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. 27582 Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, 27583 And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions. 27584 And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men. 27585 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt. 27586 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. 27587 And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men. 27588 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. 27589 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit. 27590 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. 27591 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. 27592 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. 27593 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. 27594 And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground. 27595 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. 27596 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. 27597 Then came the word of the LORD unto me, saying, 27598 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. 27599 Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers: 27600 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; 27601 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: 27602 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. 27603 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. 27604 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. 27605 Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness. 27606 And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them. 27607 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. 27608 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. 27609 But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out. 27610 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; 27611 Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols. 27612 Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness. 27613 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: 27614 I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; 27615 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. 27616 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. 27617 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. 27618 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; 27619 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. 27620 Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live; 27621 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. 27622 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. 27623 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. 27624 Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name whereof is called Bamah unto this day. 27625 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? 27626 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. 27627 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. 27628 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: 27629 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. 27630 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face. 27631 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. 27632 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant: 27633 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. 27634 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. 27635 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. 27636 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. 27637 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. 27638 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. 27639 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. 27640 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27641 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; 27642 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. 27643 And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched. 27644 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables? 27645 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27646 Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel, 27647 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. 27648 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: 27649 That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more. 27650 Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes. 27651 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. 27652 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27653 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished: 27654 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. 27655 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. 27656 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. 27657 Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD. 27658 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. 27659 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. 27660 Go thee one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set. 27661 I will also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it. 27662 The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying, 27663 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. 27664 Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced. 27665 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. 27666 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. 27667 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. 27668 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. 27669 And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end, 27670 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. 27671 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. 27672 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: 27673 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. 27674 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. 27675 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. 27676 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. 27677 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27678 Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations. 27679 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. 27680 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. 27681 Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, which art infamous and much vexed. 27682 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood. 27683 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. 27684 Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths. 27685 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. 27686 In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution. 27687 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. 27688 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. 27689 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. 27690 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. 27691 And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee. 27692 And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD. 27693 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27694 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. 27695 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. 27696 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. 27697 Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst therof. 27698 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. 27699 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27700 Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation. 27701 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. 27702 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. 27703 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. 27704 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. 27705 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. 27706 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. 27707 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. 27708 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 27709 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother: 27710 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. 27711 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. 27712 And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours, 27713 Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses. 27714 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. 27715 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. 27716 Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted. 27717 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. 27718 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. 27719 She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men. 27720 Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way, 27721 And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion, 27722 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: 27723 And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea. 27724 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. 27725 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. 27726 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. 27727 For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses. 27728 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth. 27729 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; 27730 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. 27731 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. 27732 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. 27733 They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels. 27734 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. 27735 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: 27736 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. 27737 I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols. 27738 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand. 27739 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. 27740 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria. 27741 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. 27742 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. 27743 The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations; 27744 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. 27745 Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths. 27746 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. 27747 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, 27748 And satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil. 27749 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. 27750 Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries, Will they now commit whoredoms with her, and she with them? 27751 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. 27752 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. 27753 For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled. 27754 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. 27755 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness. 27756 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. 27757 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, 27758 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. 27759 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: 27760 Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones. 27761 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. 27762 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. 27763 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; 27764 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. 27765 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great. 27766 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned. 27767 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. 27768 She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire. 27769 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. 27770 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. 27771 Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27772 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. 27773 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. 27774 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. 27775 And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so? 27776 Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27777 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. 27778 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men. 27779 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. 27780 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. 27781 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, 27782 That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears? 27783 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. 27784 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 27785 Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them; 27786 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; 27787 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. 27788 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. 27789 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; 27790 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. 27791 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen; 27792 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, 27793 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. 27794 And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the LORD. 27795 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; 27796 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. 27797 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. 27798 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; 27799 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. 27800 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. 27801 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, 27802 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: 27803 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. 27804 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. 27805 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. 27806 And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the LORD. 27807 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. 27808 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. 27809 And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers. 27810 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. 27811 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. 27812 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. 27813 And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard. 27814 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. 27815 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? 27816 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. 27817 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! 27818 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. 27819 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; 27820 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; 27821 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. 27822 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 27823 Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus; 27824 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. 27825 Thy borders are in the midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty. 27826 They have made all thy ship boards of fir trees of Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee. 27827 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. 27828 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. 27829 The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise men, O Tyrus, that were in thee, were thy pilots. 27830 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. 27831 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. 27832 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. 27833 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. 27834 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy merchants: they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market. 27835 They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and horsemen and mules. 27836 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. 27837 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. 27838 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. 27839 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. 27840 Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy fairs: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy market. 27841 Dedan was thy merchant in precious clothes for chariots. 27842 Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they occupied with thee in lambs, and rams, and goats: in these were they thy merchants. 27843 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. 27844 Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad, were thy merchants. 27845 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. 27846 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. 27847 Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas. 27848 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. 27849 The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots. 27850 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; 27851 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: 27852 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. 27853 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? 27854 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. 27855 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. 27856 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. 27857 The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt be any more. 27858 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 27859 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: 27860 Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee: 27861 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: 27862 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches: 27863 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God; 27864 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. 27865 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. 27866 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. 27867 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. 27868 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27869 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. 27870 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. 27871 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. 27872 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 27873 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. 27874 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. 27875 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. 27876 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. 27877 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27878 Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it, 27879 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. 27880 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. 27881 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. 27882 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. 27883 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. 27884 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27885 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt: 27886 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. 27887 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. 27888 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. 27889 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. 27890 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. 27891 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee. 27892 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. 27893 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. 27894 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years. 27895 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. 27896 Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered: 27897 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. 27898 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. 27899 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. 27900 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, 27901 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: 27902 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. 27903 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. 27904 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. 27905 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 27906 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day! 27907 For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen. 27908 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. 27909 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. 27910 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. 27911 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. 27912 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. 27913 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. 27914 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon. 27915 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. 27916 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. 27917 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. 27918 And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No. 27919 And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No. 27920 And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph shall have distresses daily. 27921 The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall go into captivity. 27922 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. 27923 Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am the LORD. 27924 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, 27925 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. 27926 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. 27927 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. 27928 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. 27929 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. 27930 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD. 27931 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, 27932 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness? 27933 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. 27934 The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent her little rivers unto all the trees of the field. 27935 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. 27936 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. 27937 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters. 27938 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. 27939 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. 27940 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; 27941 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. 27942 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. 27943 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches: 27944 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. 27945 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. 27946 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. 27947 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. 27948 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. 27949 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, 27950 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. 27951 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. 27952 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. 27953 And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height. 27954 I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee. 27955 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. 27956 All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD. 27957 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. 27958 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. 27959 For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee. 27960 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. 27961 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. 27962 Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord GOD. 27963 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. 27964 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. 27965 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, 27966 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. 27967 Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised. 27968 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. 27969 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. 27970 Asshur is there and all her company: his graves are about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword: 27971 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. 27972 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. 27973 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. 27974 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. 27975 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. 27976 Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them that are slain with the sword. 27977 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. 27978 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. 27979 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. 27980 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. 27981 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 27982 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: 27983 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; 27984 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. 27985 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. 27986 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. 27987 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. 27988 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. 27989 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. 27990 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? 27991 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? 27992 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. 27993 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. 27994 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; 27995 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. 27996 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. 27997 Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal. 27998 When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby. 27999 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby. 28000 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. 28001 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. 28002 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. 28003 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 28004 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. 28005 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? 28006 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land? 28007 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. 28008 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. 28009 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. 28010 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. 28011 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. 28012 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. 28013 And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them. 28014 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 28015 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? 28016 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock. 28017 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. 28018 And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered. 28019 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. 28020 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; 28021 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; 28022 Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; 28023 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. 28024 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. 28025 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. 28026 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. 28027 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. 28028 I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD. 28029 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. 28030 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. 28031 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? 28032 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. 28033 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle. 28034 Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad; 28035 Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle. 28036 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. 28037 And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it. 28038 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. 28039 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. 28040 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. 28041 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. 28042 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. 28043 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. 28044 And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord GOD. 28045 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 28046 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it, 28047 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. 28048 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD. 28049 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: 28050 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. 28051 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth. 28052 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. 28053 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 28054 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there: 28055 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. 28056 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. 28057 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them. 28058 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate. 28059 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. 28060 Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD: 28061 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession: 28062 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: 28063 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; 28064 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. 28065 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: 28066 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame. 28067 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. 28068 For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown: 28069 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: 28070 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. 28071 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. 28072 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations: 28073 Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord GOD. 28074 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. 28075 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 28076 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. 28077 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: 28078 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. 28079 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. 28080 But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went. 28081 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. 28082 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. 28083 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. 28084 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. 28085 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. 28086 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. 28087 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. 28088 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. 28089 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. 28090 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. 28091 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. 28092 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. 28093 And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by. 28094 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. 28095 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. 28096 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. 28097 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. 28098 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, 28099 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. 28100 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. 28101 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. 28102 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: 28103 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. 28104 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. 28105 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. 28106 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. 28107 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. 28108 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. 28109 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. 28110 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, 28111 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. 28112 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 28113 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: 28114 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand. 28115 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these? 28116 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. 28117 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes. 28118 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: 28119 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. 28120 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. 28121 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. 28122 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. 28123 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. 28124 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 28125 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore. 28126 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 28127 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 28128 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 28129 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: 28130 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: 28131 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. 28132 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. 28133 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. 28134 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. 28135 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: 28136 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, 28137 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. 28138 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? 28139 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? 28140 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: 28141 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. 28142 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? 28143 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. 28144 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; 28145 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. 28146 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. 28147 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. 28148 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. 28149 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: 28150 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: 28151 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. 28152 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. 28153 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. 28154 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. 28155 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. 28156 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken. 28157 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: 28158 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. 28159 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. 28160 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land. 28161 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. 28162 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. 28163 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. 28164 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land. 28165 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. 28166 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. 28167 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. 28168 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. 28169 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. 28170 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward. 28171 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. 28172 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them. 28173 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; 28174 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. 28175 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; 28176 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. 28177 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. 28178 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. 28179 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. 28180 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. 28181 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. 28182 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. 28183 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. 28184 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. 28185 He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed. 28186 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward. 28187 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. 28188 And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits. 28189 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. 28190 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. 28191 He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate. 28192 And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits. 28193 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. 28194 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. 28195 And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates was the lower pavement. 28196 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. 28197 And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof. 28198 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. 28199 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. 28200 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. 28201 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. 28202 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. 28203 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. 28204 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. 28205 And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures; 28206 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. 28207 And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad. 28208 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. 28209 And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures. 28210 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. 28211 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. 28212 And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to these measures; 28213 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. 28214 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. 28215 And the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering. 28216 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. 28217 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. 28218 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. 28219 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. 28220 And within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering. 28221 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. 28222 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. 28223 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. 28224 So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house. 28225 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. 28226 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. 28227 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. 28228 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. 28229 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. 28230 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. 28231 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. 28232 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. 28233 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. 28234 I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits. 28235 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. 28236 And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side. 28237 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. 28238 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. 28239 So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long; 28240 Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits. 28241 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; 28242 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; 28243 To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure. 28244 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; 28245 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. 28246 From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made, and on the wall of the temple. 28247 The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other. 28248 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. 28249 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors. 28250 And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door. 28251 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. 28252 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. 28253 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. 28254 Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits. 28255 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. 28256 And before the chambers was a walk to ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north. 28257 Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building. 28258 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. 28259 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. 28260 For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits. 28261 And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court. 28262 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. 28263 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. 28264 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. 28265 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. 28266 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. 28267 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. 28268 He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. 28269 He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. 28270 He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed. 28271 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. 28272 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. 28273 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east: 28274 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. 28275 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. 28276 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east. 28277 So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house. 28278 And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me. 28279 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. 28280 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. 28281 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. 28282 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. 28283 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. 28284 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. 28285 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. 28286 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. 28287 So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and upward shall be four horns. 28288 And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof. 28289 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. 28290 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. 28291 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. 28292 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. 28293 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. 28294 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. 28295 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. 28296 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. 28297 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. 28298 Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves. 28299 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. 28300 Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut. 28301 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. 28302 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. 28303 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. 28304 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. 28305 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, 28306 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. 28307 And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves. 28308 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. 28309 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. 28310 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. 28311 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. 28312 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. 28313 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. 28314 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: 28315 They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge. 28316 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. 28317 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. 28318 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. 28319 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads. 28320 Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court. 28321 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. 28322 And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. 28323 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. 28324 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. 28325 And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days. 28326 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. 28327 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. 28328 They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering: and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs. 28329 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. 28330 The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast. 28331 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. 28332 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. 28333 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. 28334 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. 28335 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. 28336 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. 28337 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. 28338 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. 28339 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. 28340 Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath. 28341 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. 28342 And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs: twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh. 28343 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: 28344 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: 28345 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. 28346 All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the prince in Israel. 28347 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. 28348 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: 28349 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. 28350 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. 28351 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. 28352 And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering. 28353 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. 28354 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. 28355 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. 28356 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. 28357 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. 28358 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. 28359 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. 28360 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. 28361 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. 28362 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. 28363 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. 28364 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. 28365 And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth. 28366 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. 28367 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. 28368 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. 28369 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. 28370 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat offering, and the oil, every morning for a continual burnt offering. 28371 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. 28372 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. 28373 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. 28374 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. 28375 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. 28376 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. 28377 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. 28378 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. 28379 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. 28380 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. 28381 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. 28382 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. 28383 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. 28384 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. 28385 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. 28386 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. 28387 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. 28388 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. 28389 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. 28390 But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt. 28391 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. 28392 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. 28393 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. 28394 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; 28395 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran. 28396 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. 28397 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. 28398 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. 28399 The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side. 28400 So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel. 28401 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. 28402 And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD. 28403 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. 28404 And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Asher. 28405 And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Naphtali. 28406 And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Manasseh. 28407 And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Ephraim. 28408 And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Reuben. 28409 And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Judah. 28410 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. 28411 The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth. 28412 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. 28413 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. 28414 And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites. 28415 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. 28416 And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the LORD. 28417 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. 28418 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. 28419 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. 28420 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. 28421 And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel. 28422 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. 28423 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. 28424 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. 28425 As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin shall have a portion. 28426 And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon shall have a portion. 28427 And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar a portion. 28428 And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, Zebulun a portion. 28429 And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, Gad a portion. 28430 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. 28431 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. 28432 And these are the goings out of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures. 28433 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. 28434 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. 28435 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. 28436 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. 28437 It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there. 28438 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it. 28439 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. 28440 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; 28441 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. 28442 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. 28443 Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: 28444 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. 28445 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. 28446 Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs. 28447 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. 28448 Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 28449 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink. 28450 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. 28451 So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days. 28452 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. 28453 Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse. 28454 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. 28455 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. 28456 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. 28457 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. 28458 And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus. 28459 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him. 28460 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. 28461 And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream. 28462 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. 28463 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. 28464 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. 28465 They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it. 28466 The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me. 28467 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. 28468 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. 28469 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. 28470 For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon. 28471 And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain. 28472 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: 28473 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. 28474 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation. 28475 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions: 28476 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. 28477 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. 28478 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: 28479 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: 28480 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. 28481 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. 28482 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. 28483 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. 28484 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? 28485 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; 28486 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; 28487 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. 28488 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. 28489 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. 28490 This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, 28491 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. 28492 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. 28493 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. 28494 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king. 28495 Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. 28496 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. 28497 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. 28498 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. 28499 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. 28500 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. 28501 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. 28502 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. 28503 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. 28504 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him. 28505 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. 28506 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. 28507 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. 28508 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. 28509 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. 28510 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. 28511 Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages, 28512 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: 28513 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. 28514 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. 28515 Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews. 28516 They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever. 28517 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: 28518 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. 28519 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. 28520 Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king. 28521 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? 28522 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? 28523 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. 28524 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. 28525 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. 28526 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. 28527 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. 28528 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. 28529 Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flames of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. 28530 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 28531 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. 28532 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. 28533 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. 28534 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. 28535 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. 28536 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. 28537 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon. 28538 Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you. 28539 I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me. 28540 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. 28541 I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace: 28542 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me. 28543 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. 28544 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. 28545 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, 28546 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. 28547 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. 28548 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth: 28549 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. 28550 I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven; 28551 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: 28552 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: 28553 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. 28554 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. 28555 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. 28556 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. 28557 The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth; 28558 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: 28559 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. 28560 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; 28561 This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king: 28562 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. 28563 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. 28564 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. 28565 All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar. 28566 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon. 28567 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? 28568 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. 28569 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. 28570 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. 28571 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: 28572 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? 28573 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. 28574 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. 28575 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand. 28576 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. 28577 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. 28578 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. 28579 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. 28580 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. 28581 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. 28582 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. 28583 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied. 28584 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: 28585 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; 28586 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. 28587 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? 28588 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. 28589 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: 28590 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. 28591 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. 28592 O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour: 28593 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. 28594 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: 28595 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. 28596 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this; 28597 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: 28598 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written. 28599 And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. 28600 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. 28601 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. 28602 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. 28603 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. 28604 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. 28605 And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old. 28606 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom; 28607 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. 28608 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. 28609 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. 28610 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. 28611 Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever. 28612 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. 28613 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. 28614 Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree. 28615 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. 28616 Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. 28617 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. 28618 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. 28619 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. 28620 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. 28621 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. 28622 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. 28623 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. 28624 Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions. 28625 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? 28626 Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. 28627 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. 28628 Then was the king exceedingly 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. 28629 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. 28630 Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you. 28631 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. 28632 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. 28633 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian. 28634 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. 28635 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. 28636 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. 28637 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. 28638 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. 28639 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. 28640 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. 28641 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. 28642 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. 28643 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. 28644 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. 28645 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time. 28646 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. 28647 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. 28648 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. 28649 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. 28650 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth. 28651 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. 28652 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; 28653 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. 28654 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; 28655 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. 28656 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. 28657 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. 28658 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. 28659 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. 28660 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. 28661 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. 28662 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. 28663 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. 28664 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. 28665 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. 28666 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. 28667 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. 28668 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. 28669 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. 28670 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. 28671 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. 28672 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down. 28673 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. 28674 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? 28675 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. 28676 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. 28677 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision. 28678 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. 28679 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. 28680 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. 28681 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. 28682 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. 28683 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power. 28684 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. 28685 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. 28686 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. 28687 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. 28688 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. 28689 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; 28690 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. 28691 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: 28692 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; 28693 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments: 28694 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. 28695 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. 28696 O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. 28697 To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; 28698 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. 28699 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. 28700 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. 28701 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. 28702 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. 28703 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. 28704 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. 28705 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. 28706 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. 28707 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. 28708 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; 28709 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. 28710 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. 28711 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. 28712 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. 28713 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. 28714 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. 28715 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. 28716 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. 28717 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks. 28718 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. 28719 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel; 28720 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: 28721 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. 28722 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. 28723 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. 28724 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. 28725 And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. 28726 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. 28727 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. 28728 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. 28729 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. 28730 And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb. 28731 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. 28732 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. 28733 Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me, 28734 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. 28735 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. 28736 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. 28737 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him. 28738 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. 28739 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will. 28740 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. 28741 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. 28742 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. 28743 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: 28744 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. 28745 So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land. 28746 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. 28747 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. 28748 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. 28749 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. 28750 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. 28751 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. 28752 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. 28753 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. 28754 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. 28755 Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found. 28756 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. 28757 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. 28758 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. 28759 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people. 28760 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. 28761 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. 28762 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain. 28763 And both of 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. 28764 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. 28765 At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter. 28766 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. 28767 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. 28768 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. 28769 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. 28770 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 28771 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. 28772 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. 28773 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. 28774 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. 28775 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. 28776 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. 28777 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. 28778 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 28779 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. 28780 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. 28781 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. 28782 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. 28783 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. 28784 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. 28785 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. 28786 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. 28787 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? 28788 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. 28789 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? 28790 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 28791 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. 28792 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. 28793 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. 28794 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. 28795 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. 28796 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. 28797 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son. 28798 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. 28799 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel, in the valley of Jezreel. 28800 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. 28801 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. 28802 Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son. 28803 Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God. 28804 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. 28805 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. 28806 Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah. 28807 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; 28808 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. 28809 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms. 28810 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. 28811 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths. 28812 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. 28813 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. 28814 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. 28815 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand. 28816 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts. 28817 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. 28818 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. 28819 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her. 28820 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. 28821 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali. 28822 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name. 28823 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. 28824 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. 28825 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD. 28826 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; 28827 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel. 28828 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. 28829 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. 28830 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley: 28831 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. 28832 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: 28833 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. 28834 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. 28835 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. 28836 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. 28837 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest. 28838 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother. 28839 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. 28840 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. 28841 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity. 28842 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings. 28843 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. 28844 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart. 28845 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. 28846 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. 28847 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. 28848 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. 28849 For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place. 28850 Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone. 28851 Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye. 28852 The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices. 28853 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. 28854 And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all. 28855 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled. 28856 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. 28857 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. 28858 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. 28859 They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions. 28860 Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin. 28861 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be. 28862 The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water. 28863 Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment. 28864 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness. 28865 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. 28866 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. 28867 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. 28868 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. 28869 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. 28870 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. 28871 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. 28872 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. 28873 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. 28874 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me. 28875 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood. 28876 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness. 28877 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled. 28878 Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people. 28879 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. 28880 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. 28881 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies. 28882 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. 28883 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners. 28884 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. 28885 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. 28886 Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned. 28887 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not. 28888 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. 28889 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria. 28890 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. 28891 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. 28892 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. 28893 Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me. 28894 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. 28895 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. 28896 Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee. 28897 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. 28898 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. 28899 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency? 28900 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. 28901 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. 28902 Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure. 28903 For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers. 28904 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. 28905 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin. 28906 I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing. 28907 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. 28908 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. 28909 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. 28910 The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her. 28911 They shall not dwell in the LORD's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria. 28912 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. 28913 What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD? 28914 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. 28915 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. 28916 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. 28917 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins. 28918 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. 28919 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception. 28920 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! 28921 Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer. 28922 Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. 28923 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. 28924 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. 28925 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations. 28926 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. 28927 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images. 28928 For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us? 28929 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field. 28930 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. 28931 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. 28932 As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water. 28933 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. 28934 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. 28935 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. 28936 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. 28937 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. 28938 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. 28939 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. 28940 So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off. 28941 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. 28942 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images. 28943 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them. 28944 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. 28945 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return. 28946 And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels. 28947 And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him. 28948 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. 28949 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. 28950 They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west. 28951 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. 28952 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. 28953 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. 28954 The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him. 28955 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God: 28956 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; 28957 Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial. 28958 Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on thy God continually. 28959 He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress. 28960 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. 28961 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. 28962 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets. 28963 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. 28964 And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep. 28965 And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved. 28966 Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his LORD return unto him. 28967 When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died. 28968 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. 28969 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. 28970 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. 28971 I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought. 28972 According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me. 28973 Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them: 28974 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. 28975 O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help. 28976 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? 28977 I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath. 28978 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid. 28979 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. 28980 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. 28981 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. 28982 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. 28983 O israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. 28984 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. 28985 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. 28986 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him. 28987 I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. 28988 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon. 28989 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. 28990 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. 28991 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. 28992 The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel. 28993 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? 28994 Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation. 28995 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. 28996 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. 28997 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. 28998 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. 28999 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth. 29000 The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD's ministers, mourn. 29001 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth. 29002 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. 29003 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. 29004 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. 29005 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, 29006 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come. 29007 Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God? 29008 The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered. 29009 How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate. 29010 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. 29011 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. 29012 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; 29013 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. 29014 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. 29015 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. 29016 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. 29017 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness. 29018 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: 29019 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. 29020 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. 29021 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: 29022 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? 29023 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 29024 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. 29025 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? 29026 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: 29027 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. 29028 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? 29029 Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people. 29030 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: 29031 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. 29032 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things. 29033 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. 29034 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. 29035 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. 29036 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. 29037 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. 29038 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. 29039 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: 29040 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. 29041 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 29042 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come. 29043 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. 29044 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, 29045 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. 29046 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. 29047 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; 29048 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things: 29049 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. 29050 Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head: 29051 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. 29052 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: 29053 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. 29054 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD. 29055 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. 29056 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. 29057 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. 29058 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. 29059 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. 29060 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. 29061 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 out of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim. 29062 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. 29063 But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. 29064 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion. 29065 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. 29066 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. 29067 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: 29068 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad. 29069 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. 29070 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: 29071 But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof: 29072 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. 29073 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: 29074 But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall devour the palaces thereof. 29075 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: 29076 But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah. 29077 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: 29078 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: 29079 And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the LORD. 29080 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: 29081 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: 29082 And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD. 29083 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: 29084 But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem. 29085 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; 29086 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: 29087 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. 29088 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. 29089 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. 29090 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. 29091 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not. 29092 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves. 29093 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself: 29094 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. 29095 And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD. 29096 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, 29097 You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. 29098 Can two walk together, except they be agreed? 29099 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? 29100 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? 29101 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? 29102 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. 29103 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy? 29104 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. 29105 For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces. 29106 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. 29107 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. 29108 Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts, 29109 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. 29110 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. 29111 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. 29112 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. 29113 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. 29114 Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years: 29115 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. 29116 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. 29117 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. 29118 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. 29119 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. 29120 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. 29121 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. 29122 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel. 29123 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. 29124 Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel. 29125 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up. 29126 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. 29127 For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live: 29128 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. 29129 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. 29130 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth, 29131 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: 29132 That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress. 29133 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly. 29134 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. 29135 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. 29136 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time. 29137 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. 29138 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. 29139 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. 29140 And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD. 29141 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. 29142 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. 29143 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? 29144 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. 29145 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. 29146 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. 29147 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. 29148 Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? 29149 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. 29150 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts. 29151 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! 29152 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? 29153 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near; 29154 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; 29155 That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David; 29156 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph. 29157 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed. 29158 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. 29159 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die. 29160 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. 29161 For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts. 29162 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: 29163 Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength? 29164 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. 29165 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. 29166 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. 29167 The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD. 29168 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. 29169 Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small. 29170 The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD. 29171 Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand. 29172 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: 29173 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. 29174 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. 29175 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land. 29176 Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there: 29177 But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court. 29178 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: 29179 And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel. 29180 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. 29181 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. 29182 Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit. 29183 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. 29184 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. 29185 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, 29186 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? 29187 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat? 29188 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. 29189 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. 29190 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: 29191 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. 29192 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: 29193 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. 29194 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. 29195 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. 29196 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. 29197 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down: 29198 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: 29199 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. 29200 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. 29201 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. 29202 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? 29203 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. 29204 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. 29205 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us. 29206 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: 29207 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. 29208 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. 29209 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. 29210 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. 29211 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. 29212 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised. 29213 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? 29214 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. 29215 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? 29216 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up! 29217 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; that they eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him. 29218 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? 29219 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. 29220 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. 29221 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. 29222 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. 29223 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; 29224 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. 29225 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. 29226 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. 29227 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. 29228 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. 29229 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. 29230 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. 29231 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD's. 29232 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 29233 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. 29234 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. 29235 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. 29236 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. 29237 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. 29238 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. 29239 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? 29240 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. 29241 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. 29242 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. 29243 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. 29244 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them. 29245 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. 29246 So they look up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging. 29247 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows. 29248 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. 29249 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly, 29250 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. 29251 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. 29252 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. 29253 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head. 29254 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. 29255 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple. 29256 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. 29257 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD. 29258 And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. 29259 And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying, 29260 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. 29261 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. 29262 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. 29263 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. 29264 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. 29265 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: 29266 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. 29267 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? 29268 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. 29269 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. 29270 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. 29271 Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live. 29272 Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry? 29273 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. 29274 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. 29275 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered. 29276 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. 29277 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. 29278 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: 29279 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more then sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle? 29280 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. 29281 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. 29282 For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth. 29283 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. 29284 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? 29285 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. 29286 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. 29287 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. 29288 For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem. 29289 Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust. 29290 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. 29291 For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem. 29292 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. 29293 Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel. 29294 Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel. 29295 Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee. 29296 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. 29297 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. 29298 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. 29299 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. 29300 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD. 29301 Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame. 29302 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? 29303 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. 29304 The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever. 29305 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction. 29306 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. 29307 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. 29308 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. 29309 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? 29310 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; 29311 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. 29312 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. 29313 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. 29314 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. 29315 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God. 29316 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. 29317 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. 29318 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. 29319 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. 29320 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. 29321 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. 29322 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. 29323 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. 29324 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. 29325 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. 29326 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; 29327 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. 29328 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. 29329 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. 29330 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. 29331 Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion. 29332 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. 29333 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. 29334 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. 29335 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. 29336 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. 29337 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. 29338 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. 29339 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. 29340 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. 29341 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. 29342 Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off. 29343 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: 29344 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds: 29345 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers: 29346 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. 29347 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities. 29348 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard. 29349 Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice. 29350 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. 29351 O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me. 29352 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. 29353 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. 29354 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? 29355 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? 29356 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? 29357 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. 29358 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable? 29359 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights? 29360 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth. 29361 Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins. 29362 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. 29363 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. 29364 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. 29365 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. 29366 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. 29367 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. 29368 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. 29369 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. 29370 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. 29371 Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me. 29372 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. 29373 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. 29374 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. 29375 In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed. 29376 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. 29377 Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings. 29378 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. 29379 According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things. 29380 The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf. 29381 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. 29382 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. 29383 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. 29384 Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old. 29385 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. 29386 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. 29387 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. 29388 He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. 29389 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. 29390 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. 29391 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. 29392 But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies. 29393 What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time. 29394 For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry. 29395 There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counsellor. 29396 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. 29397 For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder. 29398 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. 29399 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. 29400 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. 29401 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. 29402 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. 29403 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. 29404 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. 29405 The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved. 29406 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. 29407 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. 29408 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. 29409 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. 29410 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? 29411 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. 29412 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. 29413 Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not; 29414 The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots. 29415 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: 29416 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. 29417 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. 29418 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock. 29419 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? 29420 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? 29421 Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers. 29422 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. 29423 Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy. 29424 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. 29425 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. 29426 Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln. 29427 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. 29428 Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and fleeth away. 29429 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. 29430 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. 29431 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? 29432 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see. 29433 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save! 29434 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. 29435 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth. 29436 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days which ye will not believe, though it be told you. 29437 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 their's. 29438 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves. 29439 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. 29440 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand. 29441 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. 29442 Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god. 29443 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. 29444 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? 29445 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them? 29446 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. 29447 Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous. 29448 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations? 29449 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. 29450 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. 29451 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. 29452 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. 29453 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: 29454 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! 29455 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them? 29456 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. 29457 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! 29458 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul. 29459 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it. 29460 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity! 29461 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? 29462 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. 29463 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! 29464 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. 29465 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. 29466 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? 29467 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. 29468 But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him. 29469 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth. 29470 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. 29471 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. 29472 And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power. 29473 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet. 29474 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. 29475 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble. 29476 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? 29477 Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers. 29478 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. 29479 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. 29480 Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger. 29481 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. 29482 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. 29483 Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through the heap of great waters. 29484 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. 29485 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: 29486 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. 29487 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. 29488 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. 29489 I will utterly consume all [things] from off the land, saith the LORD. 29490 I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD. 29491 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; 29492 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; 29493 And them that are turned back from the LORD; and [those] that have not sought the LORD, nor inquired for him. 29494 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. 29495 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. 29496 In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit. 29497 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. 29498 Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off. 29499 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. 29500 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. 29501 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. 29502 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, 29503 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers. 29504 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. 29505 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. 29506 Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired; 29507 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. 29508 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. 29509 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up. 29510 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. 29511 And the sea coast shall be dwellings [and] cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks. 29512 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. 29513 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. 29514 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. 29515 This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified [themselves] against the people of the LORD of hosts. 29516 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. 29517 Ye Ethiopians also, ye [shall be] slain by my sword. 29518 And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, [and] dry like a wilderness. 29519 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. 29520 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. 29521 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city! 29522 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God. 29523 Her princes within her [are] roaring lions; her judges [are] evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow. 29524 Her prophets [are] light [and] treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law. 29525 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. 29526 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. 29527 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. 29528 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. 29529 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. 29530 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, [even] the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering. 29531 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. 29532 I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD. 29533 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. 29534 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. 29535 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. 29536 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: [and to] Zion, Let not thine hands be slack. 29537 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. 29538 I will gather [them that are] sorrowful for the solemn assembly, [who] are of thee, [to whom] the reproach of it [was] a burden. 29539 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. 29540 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. 29541 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, 29542 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. 29543 Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying, 29544 Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste? 29545 Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. 29546 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. 29547 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. 29548 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. 29549 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. 29550 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit. 29551 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. 29552 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. 29553 Then spake Haggai the LORD's messenger in the LORD's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD. 29554 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, 29555 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king. 29556 In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying, 29557 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, 29558 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? 29559 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: 29560 According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not. 29561 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; 29562 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. 29563 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. 29564 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. 29565 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, 29566 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying, 29567 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. 29568 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. 29569 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. 29570 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: 29571 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. 29572 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. 29573 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. 29574 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. 29575 And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying, 29576 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth; 29577 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. 29578 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. 29579 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, 29580 The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers. 29581 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. 29582 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. 29583 Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever? 29584 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. 29585 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, 29586 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. 29587 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. 29588 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. 29589 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. 29590 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? 29591 And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words. 29592 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. 29593 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. 29594 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. 29595 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. 29596 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns. 29597 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. 29598 And the LORD shewed me four carpenters. 29599 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. 29600 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand. 29601 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. 29602 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him, 29603 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: 29604 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. 29605 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. 29606 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. 29607 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. 29608 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. 29609 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. 29610 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. 29611 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again. 29612 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation. 29613 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. 29614 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? 29615 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. 29616 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. 29617 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. 29618 And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying, 29619 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. 29620 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. 29621 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. 29622 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree. 29623 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep. 29624 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: 29625 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. 29626 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord? 29627 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 29628 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. 29629 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. 29630 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 29631 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. 29632 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. 29633 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? 29634 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? 29635 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 29636 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth. 29637 Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll. 29638 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. 29639 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. 29640 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. 29641 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. 29642 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. 29643 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah. 29644 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. 29645 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. 29646 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? 29647 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. 29648 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. 29649 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; 29650 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses. 29651 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord? 29652 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. 29653 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. 29654 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. 29655 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. 29656 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 29657 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; 29658 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest; 29659 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: 29660 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. 29661 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. 29662 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. 29663 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; 29664 When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regemmelech, and their men, to pray before the LORD, 29665 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? 29666 Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying, 29667 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? 29668 And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves? 29669 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? 29670 And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying, 29671 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: 29672 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. 29673 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. 29674 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. 29675 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: 29676 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. 29677 Again the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying, 29678 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury. 29679 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. 29680 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. 29681 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. 29682 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. 29683 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country; 29684 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. 29685 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. 29686 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. 29687 But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts. 29688 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. 29689 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. 29690 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: 29691 So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not. 29692 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: 29693 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. 29694 And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying, 29695 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. 29696 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities: 29697 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. 29698 Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD. 29699 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. 29700 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. 29701 And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise. 29702 And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets. 29703 Behold, the LORD will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire. 29704 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. 29705 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines. 29706 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. 29707 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. 29708 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. 29709 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. 29710 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water. 29711 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee; 29712 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. 29713 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. 29714 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. 29715 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. 29716 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids. 29717 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. 29718 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. 29719 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. 29720 Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together. 29721 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. 29722 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. 29723 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. 29724 I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased. 29725 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. 29726 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. 29727 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. 29728 And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD. 29729 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars. 29730 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. 29731 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. 29732 Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter; 29733 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. 29734 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. 29735 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. 29736 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me. 29737 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. 29738 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. 29739 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. 29740 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. 29741 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. 29742 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. 29743 And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd. 29744 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. 29745 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. 29746 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. 29747 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. 29748 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. 29749 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. 29750 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. 29751 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. 29752 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. 29753 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. 29754 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. 29755 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. 29756 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon. 29757 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; 29758 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart; 29759 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart. 29760 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. 29761 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. 29762 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. 29763 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: 29764 But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth. 29765 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. 29766 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. 29767 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. 29768 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. 29769 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 29770 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. 29771 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 29772 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. 29773 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. 29774 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: 29775 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. 29776 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. 29777 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. 29778 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. 29779 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. 29780 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. 29781 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. 29782 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. 29783 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. 29784 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. 29785 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. 29786 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. 29787 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 29788 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. 29789 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. 29790 The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi. 29791 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, 29792 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. 29793 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. 29794 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel. 29795 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? 29796 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. 29797 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. 29798 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. 29799 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. 29800 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. 29801 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. 29802 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. 29803 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. 29804 And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. 29805 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. 29806 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. 29807 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. 29808 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. 29809 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. 29810 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. 29811 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. 29812 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. 29813 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? 29814 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. 29815 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. 29816 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. 29817 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. 29818 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. 29819 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. 29820 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? 29821 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. 29822 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: 29823 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. 29824 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years. 29825 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. 29826 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. 29827 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? 29828 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 29829 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 29830 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. 29831 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. 29832 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts. 29833 Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee? 29834 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? 29835 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered. 29836 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. 29837 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. 29838 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. 29839 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. 29840 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. 29841 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. 29842 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. 29843 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 29844 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. 29845 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 29846 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; 29847 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; 29848 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; 29849 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; 29850 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; 29851 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; 29852 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; 29853 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; 29854 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; 29855 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: 29856 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; 29857 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; 29858 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; 29859 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; 29860 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 29861 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. 29862 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. 29863 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 29864 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. 29865 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 29866 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 29867 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. 29868 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 29869 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. 29870 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, 29871 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. 29872 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 29873 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. 29874 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 29875 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. 29876 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. 29877 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. 29878 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. 29879 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 29880 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. 29881 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. 29882 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. 29883 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: 29884 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. 29885 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. 29886 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, 29887 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. 29888 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 29889 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. 29890 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. 29891 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: 29892 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. 29893 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 29894 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 29895 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. 29896 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. 29897 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, 29898 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. 29899 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? 29900 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: 29901 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. 29902 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. 29903 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: 29904 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. 29905 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 29906 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 29907 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. 29908 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: 29909 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 29910 Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 29911 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 29912 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 29913 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. 29914 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 29915 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. 29916 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 29917 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; 29918 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 29919 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. 29920 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. 29921 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; 29922 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim: 29923 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, 29924 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; 29925 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. 29926 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 29927 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. 29928 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 29929 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. 29930 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. 29931 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him. 29932 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. 29933 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. 29934 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan. 29935 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 29936 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 29937 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 29938 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 29939 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 29940 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 29941 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 29942 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 29943 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 29944 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 29945 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 29946 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 29947 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. 29948 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 29949 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. 29950 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 29951 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 29952 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. 29953 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. 29954 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. 29955 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 29956 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. 29957 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 29958 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 29959 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. 29960 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. 29961 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 29962 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 29963 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. 29964 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. 29965 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 29966 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. 29967 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: 29968 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 29969 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 29970 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 29971 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. 29972 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 29973 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. 29974 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. 29975 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 29976 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 29977 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 29978 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; 29979 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. 29980 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 29981 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 29982 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. 29983 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. 29984 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. 29985 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 29986 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. 29987 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. 29988 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. 29989 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 29990 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 29991 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 29992 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 29993 Give us this day our daily bread. 29994 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 29995 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. 29996 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 29997 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 29998 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. 29999 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; 30000 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. 30001 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 30002 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 30003 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 30004 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 30005 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! 30006 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. 30007 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? 30008 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? 30009 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 30010 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 30011 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30012 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? 30013 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 30014 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 30015 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 30016 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. 30017 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 30018 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 30019 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 30020 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? 30021 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. 30022 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. 30023 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 30024 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 30025 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 30026 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 30027 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? 30028 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. 30029 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: 30030 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 30031 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 30032 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 30033 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 30034 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 30035 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 30036 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 30037 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. 30038 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? 30039 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 30040 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: 30041 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. 30042 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: 30043 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. 30044 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: 30045 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. 30046 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. 30047 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 30048 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 30049 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. 30050 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 30051 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. 30052 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 30053 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. 30054 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. 30055 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. 30056 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. 30057 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 30058 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. 30059 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. 30060 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. 30061 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: 30062 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. 30063 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. 30064 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 30065 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. 30066 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 30067 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. 30068 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. 30069 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 30070 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. 30071 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. 30072 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! 30073 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. 30074 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? 30075 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. 30076 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. 30077 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. 30078 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. 30079 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. 30080 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city. 30081 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. 30082 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. 30083 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? 30084 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? 30085 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. 30086 And he arose, and departed to his house. 30087 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men. 30088 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. 30089 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. 30090 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? 30091 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. 30092 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. 30093 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? 30094 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. 30095 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. 30096 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. 30097 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. 30098 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples. 30099 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: 30100 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. 30101 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. 30102 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, 30103 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. 30104 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose. 30105 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land. 30106 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us. 30107 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. 30108 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. 30109 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. 30110 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country. 30111 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil. 30112 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. 30113 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils. 30114 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. 30115 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. 30116 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 30117 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. 30118 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. 30119 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; 30120 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; 30121 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. 30122 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: 30123 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 30124 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 30125 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. 30126 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, 30127 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. 30128 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. 30129 And when ye come into an house, salute it. 30130 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. 30131 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. 30132 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. 30133 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. 30134 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; 30135 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. 30136 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. 30137 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. 30138 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. 30139 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. 30140 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. 30141 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. 30142 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? 30143 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. 30144 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. 30145 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. 30146 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30147 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 30148 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. 30149 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 30150 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. 30151 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 30152 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. 30153 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. 30154 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. 30155 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 30156 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. 30157 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 30158 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. 30159 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. 30160 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. 30161 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, 30162 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? 30163 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: 30164 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. 30165 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. 30166 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? 30167 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. 30168 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. 30169 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 30170 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. 30171 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. 30172 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 30173 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. 30174 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 30175 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, 30176 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. 30177 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. 30178 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. 30179 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: 30180 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. 30181 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. 30182 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. 30183 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee. 30184 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. 30185 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 30186 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. 30187 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 30188 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. 30189 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. 30190 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. 30191 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. 30192 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him; 30193 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? 30194 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? 30195 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. 30196 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. 30197 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day. 30198 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue: 30199 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. 30200 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? 30201 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days. 30202 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other. 30203 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. 30204 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all; 30205 And charged them that they should not make him known: 30206 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, 30207 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. 30208 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. 30209 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. 30210 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust. 30211 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. 30212 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? 30213 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. 30214 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: 30215 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? 30216 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. 30217 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. 30218 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. 30219 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. 30220 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. 30221 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. 30222 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. 30223 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 30224 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. 30225 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 30226 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. 30227 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. 30228 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: 30229 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. 30230 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. 30231 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. 30232 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 30233 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. 30234 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. 30235 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. 30236 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. 30237 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 30238 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 30239 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. 30240 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side. 30241 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. 30242 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; 30243 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: 30244 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: 30245 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 30246 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: 30247 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. 30248 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. 30249 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 30250 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. 30251 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. 30252 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 30253 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: 30254 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. 30255 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 30256 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. 30257 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. 30258 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. 30259 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; 30260 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. 30261 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. 30262 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. 30263 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 30264 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 30265 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 30266 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? 30267 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 30268 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30269 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. 30270 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: 30271 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. 30272 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. 30273 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: 30274 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. 30275 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. 30276 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 30277 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 30278 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 30279 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 30280 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; 30281 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 30282 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. 30283 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. 30284 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: 30285 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. 30286 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: 30287 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. 30288 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, 30289 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 30290 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 30291 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. 30292 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence. 30293 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? 30294 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 30295 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? 30296 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. 30297 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. 30298 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, 30299 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. 30300 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife. 30301 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. 30302 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. 30303 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. 30304 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. 30305 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger. 30306 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. 30307 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. 30308 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. 30309 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus. 30310 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. 30311 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. 30312 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. 30313 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. 30314 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 30315 He said, Bring them hither to me. 30316 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. 30317 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. 30318 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children. 30319 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. 30320 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. 30321 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 30322 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 30323 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 30324 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 30325 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 30326 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30327 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 30328 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 30329 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. 30330 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. 30331 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. 30332 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; 30333 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole. 30334 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 30335 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 30336 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 30337 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 30338 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 30339 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. 30340 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 30341 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 30342 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 30343 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 30344 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. 30345 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? 30346 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 30347 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. 30348 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. 30349 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? 30350 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 30351 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 30352 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 30353 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. 30354 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 30355 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. 30356 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 30357 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 30358 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 30359 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 30360 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 30361 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. 30362 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there. 30363 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: 30364 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. 30365 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. 30366 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? 30367 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. 30368 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 30369 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. 30370 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full. 30371 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children. 30372 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala. 30373 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. 30374 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 30375 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? 30376 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. 30377 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 30378 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 30379 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. 30380 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? 30381 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 30382 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 30383 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? 30384 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. 30385 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? 30386 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 30387 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 30388 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 30389 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. 30390 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. 30391 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. 30392 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. 30393 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. 30394 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. 30395 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. 30396 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. 30397 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 30398 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? 30399 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. 30400 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. 30401 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 30402 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 30403 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. 30404 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. 30405 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. 30406 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. 30407 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 30408 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. 30409 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. 30410 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? 30411 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. 30412 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. 30413 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. 30414 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying, 30415 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. 30416 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. 30417 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. 30418 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. 30419 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 30420 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. 30421 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. 30422 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: 30423 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry. 30424 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? 30425 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? 30426 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. 30427 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. 30428 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 30429 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 30430 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. 30431 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 30432 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 30433 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. 30434 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! 30435 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. 30436 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. 30437 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. 30438 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. 30439 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? 30440 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. 30441 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. 30442 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. 30443 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. 30444 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. 30445 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. 30446 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. 30447 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. 30448 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 30449 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. 30450 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. 30451 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. 30452 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. 30453 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 30454 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. 30455 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. 30456 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 30457 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. 30458 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. 30459 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: 30460 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? 30461 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. 30462 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses. 30463 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; 30464 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. 30465 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? 30466 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 30467 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? 30468 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 30469 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 30470 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. 30471 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. 30472 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. 30473 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. 30474 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. 30475 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. 30476 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. 30477 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence. 30478 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 30479 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. 30480 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, 30481 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 30482 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? 30483 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. 30484 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. 30485 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 30486 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. 30487 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? 30488 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. 30489 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? 30490 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. 30491 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. 30492 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first. 30493 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. 30494 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 30495 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 30496 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. 30497 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. 30498 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? 30499 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. 30500 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. 30501 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 30502 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. 30503 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, 30504 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. 30505 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? 30506 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. 30507 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? 30508 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. 30509 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, 30510 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, 30511 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again. 30512 Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. 30513 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. 30514 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. 30515 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. 30516 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren. 30517 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. 30518 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 30519 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: 30520 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. 30521 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him. 30522 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. 30523 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. 30524 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you? 30525 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. 30526 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him. 30527 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, 30528 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. 30529 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. 30530 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, 30531 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. 30532 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, 30533 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon. 30534 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. 30535 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. 30536 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? 30537 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. 30538 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, 30539 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. 30540 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. 30541 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, 30542 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? 30543 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there. 30544 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. 30545 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. 30546 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! 30547 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. 30548 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. 30549 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? 30550 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. 30551 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? 30552 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet. 30553 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. 30554 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. 30555 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. 30556 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. 30557 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. 30558 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. 30559 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: 30560 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. 30561 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 30562 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. 30563 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 30564 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. 30565 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. 30566 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 30567 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. 30568 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? 30569 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 30570 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 30571 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. 30572 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet. 30573 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 30574 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 30575 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. 30576 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. 30577 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 30578 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. 30579 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 30580 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 30581 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 30582 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. 30583 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: 30584 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 30585 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. 30586 For many are called, but few are chosen. 30587 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. 30588 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. 30589 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? 30590 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 30591 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. 30592 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? 30593 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. 30594 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way. 30595 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 30596 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 30597 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: 30598 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. 30599 And last of all the woman died also. 30600 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. 30601 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30602 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. 30603 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 30604 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. 30605 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine. 30606 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 30607 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 30608 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 30609 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. 30610 This is the first and great commandment. 30611 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 30612 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. 30613 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 30614 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David. 30615 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 30616 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 30617 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? 30618 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions. 30619 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, 30620 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 30621 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 30622 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. 30623 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 30624 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, 30625 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 30626 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 30627 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 30628 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 30629 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 30630 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. 30631 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. 30632 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. 30633 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. 30634 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! 30635 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? 30636 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. 30637 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? 30638 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. 30639 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. 30640 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. 30641 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. 30642 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 30643 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. 30644 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. 30645 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. 30646 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. 30647 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 30648 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. 30649 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. 30650 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 30651 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? 30652 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: 30653 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. 30654 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. 30655 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! 30656 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 30657 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. 30658 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 30659 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. 30660 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? 30661 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 30662 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 30663 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. 30664 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 30665 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 30666 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. 30667 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 30668 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 30669 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 30670 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 30671 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. 30672 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:) 30673 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 30674 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 30675 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 30676 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 30677 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 30678 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 30679 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 30680 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 30681 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. 30682 Behold, I have told you before. 30683 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. 30684 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. 30685 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 30686 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: 30687 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. 30688 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. 30689 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 30690 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 30691 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 30692 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 30693 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 30694 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 30695 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, 30696 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 30697 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 30698 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 30699 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 30700 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. 30701 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 30702 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 30703 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 30704 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 30705 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 30706 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 30707 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, 30708 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 30709 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 30710 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 30711 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 30712 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 30713 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 30714 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 30715 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 30716 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 30717 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. 30718 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. 30719 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 30720 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 30721 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. 30722 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. 30723 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. 30724 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. 30725 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. 30726 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. 30727 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. 30728 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. 30729 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. 30730 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. 30731 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. 30732 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: 30733 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 30734 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: 30735 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. 30736 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. 30737 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. 30738 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 30739 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: 30740 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: 30741 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 30742 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: 30743 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: 30744 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 30745 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 30746 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 30747 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 30748 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. 30749 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: 30750 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 30751 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. 30752 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? 30753 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. 30754 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. 30755 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples, 30756 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. 30757 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, 30758 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him. 30759 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people. 30760 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 30761 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. 30762 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? 30763 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. 30764 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. 30765 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. 30766 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. 30767 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. 30768 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, 30769 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. 30770 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him. 30771 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? 30772 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. 30773 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover. 30774 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. 30775 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 30776 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? 30777 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. 30778 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. 30779 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said. 30780 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. 30781 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 30782 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 30783 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. 30784 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. 30785 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. 30786 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. 30787 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended. 30788 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. 30789 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. 30790 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. 30791 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. 30792 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. 30793 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. 30794 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? 30795 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 30796 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. 30797 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. 30798 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 30799 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. 30800 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me. 30801 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. 30802 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. 30803 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him. 30804 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him. 30805 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. 30806 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. 30807 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? 30808 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? 30809 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. 30810 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled. 30811 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. 30812 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end. 30813 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death; 30814 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, 30815 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. 30816 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? 30817 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. 30818 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. 30819 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. 30820 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death. 30821 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, 30822 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee? 30823 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. 30824 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. 30825 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. 30826 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man. 30827 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. 30828 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. 30829 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. 30830 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: 30831 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. 30832 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, 30833 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. 30834 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. 30835 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. 30836 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 30837 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. 30838 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; 30839 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me. 30840 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. 30841 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 30842 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? 30843 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly. 30844 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would. 30845 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. 30846 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? 30847 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. 30848 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. 30849 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. 30850 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. 30851 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. 30852 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. 30853 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. 30854 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. 30855 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. 30856 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. 30857 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 30858 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! 30859 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. 30860 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. 30861 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. 30862 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, 30863 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. 30864 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. 30865 And sitting down they watched him there; 30866 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 30867 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left. 30868 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, 30869 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. 30870 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, 30871 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. 30872 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. 30873 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. 30874 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. 30875 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? 30876 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias. 30877 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. 30878 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him. 30879 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 30880 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; 30881 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 30882 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 30883 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. 30884 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: 30885 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children. 30886 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: 30887 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 30888 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 30889 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. 30890 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. 30891 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, 30892 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. 30893 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. 30894 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. 30895 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch. 30896 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. 30897 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. 30898 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 30899 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. 30900 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 30901 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 30902 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. 30903 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. 30904 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. 30905 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. 30906 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. 30907 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, 30908 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. 30909 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. 30910 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day. 30911 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 30912 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 30913 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 30914 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 30915 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. 30916 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; 30917 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 30918 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 30919 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 30920 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. 30921 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; 30922 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. 30923 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. 30924 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. 30925 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: 30926 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 30927 And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness. 30928 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him. 30929 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 30930 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 30931 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. 30932 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. 30933 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him. 30934 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. 30935 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him. 30936 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught. 30937 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. 30938 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 30939 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. 30940 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. 30941 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. 30942 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. 30943 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee. 30944 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30945 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her. 30946 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. 30947 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. 30948 And all the city was gathered together at the door. 30949 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. 30950 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. 30951 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him. 30952 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee. 30953 And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth. 30954 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils. 30955 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. 30956 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. 30957 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. 30958 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; 30959 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. 30960 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. 30961 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. 30962 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. 30963 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. 30964 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. 30965 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. 30966 But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 30967 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? 30968 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? 30969 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? 30970 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,) 30971 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. 30972 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. 30973 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them. 30974 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. 30975 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. 30976 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? 30977 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. 30978 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? 30979 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. 30980 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. 30981 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. 30982 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. 30983 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. 30984 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? 30985 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? 30986 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? 30987 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 30988 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. 30989 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. 30990 And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him. 30991 And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth. 30992 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. 30993 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. 30994 And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. 30995 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea, 30996 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. 30997 And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him. 30998 For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues. 30999 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. 31000 And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known. 31001 And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him. 31002 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 31003 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils: 31004 And Simon he surnamed Peter; 31005 And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder: 31006 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite, 31007 And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house. 31008 And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. 31009 And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself. 31010 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils. 31011 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? 31012 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 31013 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 31014 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 31015 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. 31016 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: 31017 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation. 31018 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit. 31019 There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him. 31020 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. 31021 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? 31022 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 31023 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother. 31024 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. 31025 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, 31026 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: 31027 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. 31028 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: 31029 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 31030 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 31031 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. 31032 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 31033 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. 31034 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: 31035 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. 31036 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? 31037 The sower soweth the word. 31038 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. 31039 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 31040 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. 31041 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 31042 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. 31043 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. 31044 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? 31045 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. 31046 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 31047 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. 31048 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath. 31049 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 31050 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 31051 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. 31052 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. 31053 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? 31054 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: 31055 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. 31056 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. 31057 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples. 31058 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. 31059 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. 31060 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. 31061 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? 31062 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. 31063 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? 31064 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? 31065 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. 31066 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 31067 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: 31068 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. 31069 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. 31070 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, 31071 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. 31072 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. 31073 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. 31074 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. 31075 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. 31076 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. 31077 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. 31078 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. 31079 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. 31080 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine. 31081 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts. 31082 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him. 31083 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. 31084 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel. 31085 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. 31086 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet, 31087 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. 31088 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him. 31089 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 31090 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 31091 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 31092 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 31093 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. 31094 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? 31095 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 31096 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 31097 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 31098 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. 31099 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? 31100 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. 31101 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. 31102 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly. 31103 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. 31104 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. 31105 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. 31106 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment. 31107 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat. 31108 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him. 31109 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? 31110 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. 31111 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. 31112 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 31113 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching. 31114 And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits; 31115 And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse: 31116 But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats. 31117 And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place. 31118 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. 31119 And they went out, and preached that men should repent. 31120 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them. 31121 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. 31122 Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets. 31123 But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead. 31124 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. 31125 For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife. 31126 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not: 31127 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. 31128 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; 31129 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. 31130 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. 31131 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. 31132 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. 31133 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. 31134 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison, 31135 And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother. 31136 And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb. 31137 And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. 31138 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. 31139 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately. 31140 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. 31141 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. 31142 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: 31143 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. 31144 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? 31145 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes. 31146 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass. 31147 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties. 31148 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. 31149 And they did all eat, and were filled. 31150 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. 31151 And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men. 31152 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. 31153 And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray. 31154 And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. 31155 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. 31156 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out: 31157 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. 31158 And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered. 31159 For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened. 31160 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore. 31161 And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him, 31162 And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. 31163 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. 31164 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem. 31165 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault. 31166 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. 31167 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. 31168 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? 31169 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. 31170 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 31171 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. 31172 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 31173 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: 31174 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. 31175 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 31176 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. 31177 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: 31178 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. 31179 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 31180 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. 31181 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; 31182 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? 31183 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 31184 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 31185 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 31186 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. 31187 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. 31188 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet: 31189 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. 31190 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. 31191 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. 31192 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. 31193 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed. 31194 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. 31195 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. 31196 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; 31197 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. 31198 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. 31199 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; 31200 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak. 31201 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them, 31202 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat: 31203 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far. 31204 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness? 31205 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. 31206 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. 31207 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them. 31208 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. 31209 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away. 31210 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha. 31211 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him. 31212 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. 31213 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side. 31214 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf. 31215 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. 31216 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread. 31217 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? 31218 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? 31219 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve. 31220 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven. 31221 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand? 31222 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. 31223 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. 31224 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. 31225 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly. 31226 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town. 31227 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? 31228 And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets. 31229 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ. 31230 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him. 31231 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. 31232 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. 31233 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. 31234 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. 31235 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. 31236 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 31237 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 31238 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. 31239 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. 31240 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. 31241 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. 31242 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. 31243 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. 31244 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid. 31245 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. 31246 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves. 31247 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. 31248 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean. 31249 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come? 31250 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. 31251 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. 31252 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them. 31253 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. 31254 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them? 31255 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; 31256 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. 31257 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. 31258 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. 31259 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. 31260 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. 31261 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 31262 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. 31263 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. 31264 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. 31265 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. 31266 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? 31267 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. 31268 And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it. 31269 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. 31270 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him. 31271 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way? 31272 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest. 31273 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. 31274 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, 31275 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. 31276 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. 31277 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. 31278 For he that is not against us is on our part. 31279 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. 31280 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. 31281 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: 31282 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 31283 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: 31284 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 31285 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: 31286 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 31287 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. 31288 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. 31289 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. 31290 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. 31291 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? 31292 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 31293 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. 31294 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 31295 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 31296 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 31297 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 31298 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. 31299 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 31300 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. 31301 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. 31302 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. 31303 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. 31304 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them. 31305 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? 31306 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. 31307 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. 31308 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. 31309 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. 31310 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. 31311 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 31312 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! 31313 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. 31314 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? 31315 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. 31316 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. 31317 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, 31318 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. 31319 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first. 31320 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, 31321 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: 31322 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. 31323 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. 31324 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you? 31325 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. 31326 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? 31327 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: 31328 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. 31329 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John. 31330 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. 31331 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: 31332 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. 31333 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. 31334 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. 31335 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. 31336 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. 31337 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. 31338 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. 31339 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. 31340 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. 31341 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, 31342 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. 31343 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. 31344 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. 31345 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt? 31346 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go. 31347 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. 31348 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way. 31349 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: 31350 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. 31351 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. 31352 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 31353 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. 31354 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. 31355 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; 31356 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. 31357 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. 31358 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. 31359 And when even was come, he went out of the city. 31360 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 31361 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 31362 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 31363 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. 31364 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 31365 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. 31366 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. 31367 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, 31368 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things? 31369 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. 31370 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me. 31371 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him? 31372 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed. 31373 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. 31374 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. 31375 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. 31376 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. 31377 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. 31378 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some. 31379 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. 31380 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's. 31381 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. 31382 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. 31383 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: 31384 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 31385 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. 31386 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. 31387 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? 31388 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. 31389 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's. 31390 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. 31391 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, 31392 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. 31393 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. 31394 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise. 31395 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also. 31396 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. 31397 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? 31398 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. 31399 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? 31400 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err. 31401 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? 31402 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 31403 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. 31404 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. 31405 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: 31406 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. 31407 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. 31408 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David? 31409 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. 31410 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly. 31411 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, 31412 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: 31413 Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation. 31414 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. 31415 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 31416 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: 31417 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. 31418 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! 31419 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. 31420 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 31421 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? 31422 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: 31423 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 31424 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. 31425 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. 31426 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. 31427 And the gospel must first be published among all nations. 31428 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. 31429 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. 31430 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. 31431 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: 31432 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: 31433 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. 31434 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 31435 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. 31436 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. 31437 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. 31438 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: 31439 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. 31440 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. 31441 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 31442 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 31443 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 31444 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. 31445 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: 31446 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. 31447 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. 31448 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 31449 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 31450 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 31451 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. 31452 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: 31453 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 31454 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. 31455 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. 31456 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people. 31457 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. 31458 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? 31459 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her. 31460 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. 31461 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. 31462 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. 31463 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. 31464 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them. 31465 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him. 31466 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? 31467 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. 31468 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? 31469 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us. 31470 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 31471 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. 31472 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me. 31473 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I? 31474 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish. 31475 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. 31476 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. 31477 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. 31478 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. 31479 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. 31480 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. 31481 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. 31482 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee. 31483 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. 31484 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. 31485 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. 31486 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray. 31487 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy; 31488 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch. 31489 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. 31490 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. 31491 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour? 31492 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. 31493 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words. 31494 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him. 31495 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. 31496 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand. 31497 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. 31498 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. 31499 And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him. 31500 And they laid their hands on him, and took him. 31501 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 31502 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me? 31503 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled. 31504 And they all forsook him, and fled. 31505 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: 31506 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked. 31507 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. 31508 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. 31509 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none. 31510 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together. 31511 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying, 31512 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. 31513 But neither so did their witness agree together. 31514 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? 31515 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? 31516 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. 31517 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? 31518 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. 31519 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. 31520 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest: 31521 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth. 31522 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew. 31523 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. 31524 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. 31525 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak. 31526 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. 31527 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. 31528 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto them, Thou sayest it. 31529 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing. 31530 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee. 31531 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled. 31532 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired. 31533 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. 31534 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them. 31535 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? 31536 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy. 31537 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. 31538 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? 31539 And they cried out again, Crucify him. 31540 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him. 31541 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. 31542 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band. 31543 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head, 31544 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews! 31545 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him. 31546 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. 31547 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. 31548 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. 31549 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. 31550 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. 31551 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. 31552 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 31553 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. 31554 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors. 31555 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, 31556 Save thyself, and come down from the cross. 31557 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save. 31558 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. 31559 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 31560 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? 31561 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. 31562 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. 31563 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. 31564 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. 31565 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. 31566 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; 31567 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem. 31568 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, 31569 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. 31570 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. 31571 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. 31572 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. 31573 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid. 31574 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. 31575 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. 31576 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? 31577 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. 31578 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. 31579 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. 31580 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. 31581 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. 31582 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. 31583 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. 31584 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not. 31585 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country. 31586 And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them. 31587 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. 31588 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 31589 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 31590 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 31591 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. 31592 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 31593 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. 31594 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, 31595 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; 31596 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, 31597 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. 31598 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. 31599 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 31600 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. 31601 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course, 31602 According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord. 31603 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense. 31604 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 31605 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. 31606 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. 31607 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. 31608 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. 31609 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. 31610 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. 31611 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years. 31612 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. 31613 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. 31614 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple. 31615 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. 31616 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house. 31617 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying, 31618 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men. 31619 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 31620 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 31621 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. 31622 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. 31623 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31624 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 31625 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: 31626 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 31627 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 31628 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. 31629 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. 31630 For with God nothing shall be impossible. 31631 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. 31632 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; 31633 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. 31634 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: 31635 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 31636 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 31637 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 31638 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. 31639 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 31640 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 31641 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 31642 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. 31643 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. 31644 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 31645 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 31646 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. 31647 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; 31648 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. 31649 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house. 31650 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son. 31651 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her. 31652 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. 31653 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John. 31654 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. 31655 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called. 31656 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all. 31657 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God. 31658 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea. 31659 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. 31660 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, 31661 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, 31662 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; 31663 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 31664 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 31665 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 31666 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 31667 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, 31668 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. 31669 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; 31670 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, 31671 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, 31672 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. 31673 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel. 31674 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. 31675 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 31676 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 31677 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:) 31678 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 31679 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 31680 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. 31681 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 31682 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. 31683 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 31684 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 31685 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 31686 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 31687 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 31688 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. 31689 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 31690 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. 31691 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 31692 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. 31693 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. 31694 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. 31695 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; 31696 (As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) 31697 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. 31698 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. 31699 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 31700 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, 31701 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, 31702 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: 31703 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, 31704 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; 31705 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. 31706 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. 31707 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; 31708 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. 31709 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; 31710 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. 31711 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. 31712 And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth. 31713 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. 31714 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. 31715 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 31716 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. 31717 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 31718 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 31719 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. 31720 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. 31721 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. 31722 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? 31723 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. 31724 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. 31725 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. 31726 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, 31727 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. 31728 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; 31729 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. 31730 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; 31731 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. 31732 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? 31733 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. 31734 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. 31735 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? 31736 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. 31737 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? 31738 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. 31739 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. 31740 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not; 31741 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: 31742 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. 31743 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people. 31744 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, 31745 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison. 31746 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 31747 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. 31748 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, 31749 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, 31750 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, 31751 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, 31752 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, 31753 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, 31754 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, 31755 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, 31756 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, 31757 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, 31758 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, 31759 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, 31760 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, 31761 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, 31762 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, 31763 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God. 31764 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 31765 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. 31766 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. 31767 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. 31768 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 31769 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. 31770 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. 31771 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. 31772 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: 31773 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: 31774 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 31775 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 31776 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. 31777 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. 31778 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. 31779 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. 31780 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, 31781 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, 31782 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 31783 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. 31784 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 31785 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? 31786 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. 31787 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. 31788 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; 31789 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. 31790 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. 31791 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 31792 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. 31793 But he passing through the midst of them went his way, 31794 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. 31795 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power. 31796 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, 31797 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. 31798 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. 31799 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. 31800 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about. 31801 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. 31802 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. 31803 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. 31804 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. 31805 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. 31806 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent. 31807 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee. 31808 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, 31809 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. 31810 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. 31811 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 31812 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. 31813 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. 31814 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. 31815 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 31816 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: 31817 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. 31818 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him. 31819 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. 31820 And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him. 31821 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. 31822 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. 31823 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed. 31824 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. 31825 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. 31826 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. 31827 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. 31828 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone? 31829 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts? 31830 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? 31831 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. 31832 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. 31833 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day. 31834 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. 31835 And he left all, rose up, and followed him. 31836 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. 31837 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners? 31838 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. 31839 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 31840 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? 31841 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? 31842 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. 31843 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. 31844 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. 31845 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. 31846 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better. 31847 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. 31848 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? 31849 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; 31850 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? 31851 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. 31852 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. 31853 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him. 31854 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. 31855 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? 31856 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. 31857 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus. 31858 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. 31859 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles; 31860 Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, 31861 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes, 31862 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor. 31863 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; 31864 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. 31865 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. 31866 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. 31867 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. 31868 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. 31869 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. 31870 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. 31871 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. 31872 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. 31873 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, 31874 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. 31875 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. 31876 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. 31877 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. 31878 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. 31879 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. 31880 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. 31881 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. 31882 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. 31883 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: 31884 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. 31885 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? 31886 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. 31887 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 31888 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. 31889 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 31890 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. 31891 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. 31892 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 31893 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 31894 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. 31895 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. 31896 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum. 31897 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die. 31898 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. 31899 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this: 31900 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. 31901 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: 31902 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. 31903 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. 31904 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. 31905 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick. 31906 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. 31907 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. 31908 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. 31909 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. 31910 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother. 31911 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. 31912 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about. 31913 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things. 31914 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? 31915 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? 31916 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. 31917 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. 31918 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. 31919 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? 31920 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. 31921 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. 31922 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 31923 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. 31924 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. 31925 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him. 31926 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? 31927 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. 31928 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. 31929 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! 31930 But wisdom is justified of all her children. 31931 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. 31932 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, 31933 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. 31934 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. 31935 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. 31936 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. 31937 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? 31938 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. 31939 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. 31940 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. 31941 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. 31942 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. 31943 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. 31944 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? 31945 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. 31946 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, 31947 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, 31948 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance. 31949 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable: 31950 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. 31951 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. 31952 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. 31953 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. 31954 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? 31955 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. 31956 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 31957 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. 31958 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. 31959 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. 31960 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. 31961 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. 31962 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. 31963 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. 31964 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. 31965 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. 31966 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it. 31967 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. 31968 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. 31969 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. 31970 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. 31971 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. 31972 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. 31973 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. 31974 (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.) 31975 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. 31976 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. 31977 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. 31978 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. 31979 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country. 31980 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. 31981 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed. 31982 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. 31983 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, 31984 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. 31985 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him. 31986 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: 31987 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him. 31988 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, 31989 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. 31990 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? 31991 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. 31992 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. 31993 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. 31994 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. 31995 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. 31996 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. 31997 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. 31998 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. 31999 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. 32000 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. 32001 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done. 32002 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. 32003 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. 32004 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece. 32005 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart. 32006 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. 32007 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where. 32008 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; 32009 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. 32010 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him. 32011 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. 32012 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. 32013 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. 32014 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. 32015 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company. 32016 And they did so, and made them all sit down. 32017 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. 32018 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets. 32019 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? 32020 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again. 32021 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God. 32022 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing; 32023 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. 32024 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. 32025 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 32026 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? 32027 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. 32028 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. 32029 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. 32030 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. 32031 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: 32032 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. 32033 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. 32034 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. 32035 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud. 32036 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. 32037 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. 32038 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him. 32039 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child. 32040 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. 32041 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not. 32042 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither. 32043 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. 32044 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, 32045 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men. 32046 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. 32047 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. 32048 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him, 32049 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. 32050 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. 32051 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us. 32052 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, 32053 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. 32054 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. 32055 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? 32056 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 32057 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village. 32058 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. 32059 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. 32060 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 32061 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 32062 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. 32063 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. 32064 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. 32065 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. 32066 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. 32067 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. 32068 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. 32069 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. 32070 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. 32071 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: 32072 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. 32073 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, 32074 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. 32075 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. 32076 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. 32077 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. 32078 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell. 32079 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me. 32080 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 32081 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 32082 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. 32083 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. 32084 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. 32085 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. 32086 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: 32087 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. 32088 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 32089 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 32090 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. 32091 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 32092 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 32093 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. 32094 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32095 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 32096 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 32097 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. 32098 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. 32099 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? 32100 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. 32101 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. 32102 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. 32103 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. 32104 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: 32105 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. 32106 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. 32107 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. 32108 Give us day by day our daily bread. 32109 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. 32110 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; 32111 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? 32112 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. 32113 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. 32114 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. 32115 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 32116 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? 32117 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 32118 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? 32119 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. 32120 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils. 32121 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven. 32122 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. 32123 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. 32124 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. 32125 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. 32126 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: 32127 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. 32128 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. 32129 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. 32130 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. 32131 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. 32132 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. 32133 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. 32134 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. 32135 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. 32136 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. 32137 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. 32138 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. 32139 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. 32140 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. 32141 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. 32142 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat. 32143 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner. 32144 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. 32145 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also? 32146 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you. 32147 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. 32148 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. 32149 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. 32150 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also. 32151 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. 32152 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 32153 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres. 32154 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: 32155 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; 32156 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. 32157 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. 32158 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: 32159 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him. 32160 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. 32161 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 32162 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. 32163 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. 32164 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. 32165 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? 32166 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. 32167 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: 32168 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. 32169 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. 32170 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: 32171 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say. 32172 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. 32173 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 32174 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. 32175 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 32176 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 32177 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. 32178 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. 32179 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? 32180 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. 32181 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. 32182 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. 32183 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? 32184 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? 32185 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? 32186 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. 32187 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? 32188 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 32189 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 32190 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. 32191 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 32192 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. 32193 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 32194 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; 32195 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. 32196 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. 32197 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. 32198 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. 32199 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. 32200 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all? 32201 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? 32202 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 32203 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. 32204 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; 32205 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. 32206 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. 32207 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. 32208 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? 32209 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! 32210 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 32211 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 32212 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. 32213 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. 32214 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. 32215 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? 32216 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? 32217 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. 32218 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite. 32219 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 32220 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? 32221 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 32222 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? 32223 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 32224 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. 32225 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? 32226 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: 32227 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. 32228 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. 32229 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. 32230 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. 32231 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. 32232 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. 32233 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? 32234 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? 32235 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. 32236 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? 32237 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. 32238 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? 32239 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. 32240 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. 32241 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, 32242 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 32243 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: 32244 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. 32245 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. 32246 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. 32247 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. 32248 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last. 32249 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee. 32250 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. 32251 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. 32252 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! 32253 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. 32254 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. 32255 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy. 32256 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? 32257 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go; 32258 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? 32259 And they could not answer him again to these things. 32260 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them. 32261 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; 32262 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. 32263 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. 32264 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. 32265 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. 32266 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: 32267 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. 32268 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. 32269 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: 32270 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. 32271 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. 32272 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. 32273 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. 32274 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. 32275 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. 32276 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. 32277 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper. 32278 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, 32279 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. 32280 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 32281 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? 32282 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, 32283 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. 32284 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? 32285 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. 32286 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. 32287 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? 32288 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. 32289 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. 32290 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. 32291 And he spake this parable unto them, saying, 32292 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? 32293 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 32294 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. 32295 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. 32296 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? 32297 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. 32298 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. 32299 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 32300 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. 32301 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. 32302 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 32303 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 32304 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 32305 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! 32306 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 32307 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 32308 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. 32309 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. 32310 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: 32311 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: 32312 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. 32313 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. 32314 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. 32315 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. 32316 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. 32317 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: 32318 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. 32319 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. 32320 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. 32321 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. 32322 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. 32323 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. 32324 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. 32325 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? 32326 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. 32327 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. 32328 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. 32329 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. 32330 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. 32331 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? 32332 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? 32333 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. 32334 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. 32335 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. 32336 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. 32337 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. 32338 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. 32339 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 32340 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 32341 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 32342 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; 32343 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 32344 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. 32345 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. 32346 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. 32347 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 32348 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 32349 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 32350 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 32351 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. 32352 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! 32353 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. 32354 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. 32355 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. 32356 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. 32357 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. 32358 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? 32359 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? 32360 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. 32361 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. 32362 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 32363 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 32364 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 32365 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. 32366 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 32367 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 32368 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 32369 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. 32370 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. 32371 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: 32372 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. 32373 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. 32374 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. 32375 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. 32376 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. 32377 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 32378 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. 32379 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 32380 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 32381 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. 32382 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. 32383 Remember Lot's wife. 32384 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. 32385 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. 32386 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 32387 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 32388 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. 32389 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; 32390 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 32391 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 32392 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 32393 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 32394 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 32395 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 32396 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? 32397 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 32398 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 32399 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. 32400 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 32401 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. 32402 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. 32403 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 32404 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. 32405 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. 32406 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 32407 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God. 32408 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. 32409 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. 32410 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. 32411 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. 32412 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 32413 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. 32414 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved? 32415 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. 32416 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee. 32417 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, 32418 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. 32419 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. 32420 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: 32421 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. 32422 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken. 32423 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: 32424 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. 32425 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. 32426 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. 32427 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. 32428 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, 32429 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. 32430 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. 32431 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God. 32432 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 32433 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. 32434 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. 32435 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. 32436 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. 32437 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. 32438 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. 32439 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. 32440 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 32441 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. 32442 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. 32443 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 32444 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. 32445 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. 32446 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. 32447 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 32448 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 32449 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 32450 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. 32451 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: 32452 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. 32453 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: 32454 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? 32455 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 32456 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 32457 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. 32458 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. 32459 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. 32460 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, 32461 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. 32462 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. 32463 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. 32464 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? 32465 And they said, The Lord hath need of him. 32466 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. 32467 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. 32468 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; 32469 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 32470 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 32471 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. 32472 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 32473 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. 32474 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, 32475 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. 32476 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; 32477 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. 32478 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, 32479 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him. 32480 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, 32481 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority? 32482 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me: 32483 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? 32484 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not? 32485 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet. 32486 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was. 32487 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. 32488 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. 32489 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. 32490 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty. 32491 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out. 32492 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. 32493 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. 32494 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? 32495 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid. 32496 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? 32497 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 32498 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. 32499 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. 32500 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: 32501 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no? 32502 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me? 32503 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's. 32504 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's. 32505 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace. 32506 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him, 32507 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. 32508 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children. 32509 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless. 32510 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died. 32511 Last of all the woman died also. 32512 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife. 32513 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 32514 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 32515 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. 32516 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. 32517 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him. 32518 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said. 32519 And after that they durst not ask him any question at all. 32520 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son? 32521 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 32522 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 32523 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son? 32524 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples, 32525 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; 32526 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation. 32527 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. 32528 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 32529 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 32530 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. 32531 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, 32532 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. 32533 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? 32534 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. 32535 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. 32536 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 32537 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. 32538 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. 32539 And it shall turn to you for a testimony. 32540 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: 32541 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. 32542 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. 32543 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. 32544 But there shall not an hair of your head perish. 32545 In your patience possess ye your souls. 32546 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 32547 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. 32548 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 32549 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. 32550 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. 32551 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; 32552 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. 32553 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 32554 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. 32555 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; 32556 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. 32557 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. 32558 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. 32559 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 32560 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. 32561 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 32562 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. 32563 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. 32564 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him. 32565 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. 32566 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. 32567 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 32568 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. 32569 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. 32570 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude. 32571 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. 32572 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. 32573 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? 32574 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. 32575 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? 32576 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. 32577 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 32578 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 32579 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 32580 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 32581 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 32582 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 32583 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. 32584 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. 32585 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. 32586 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! 32587 And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. 32588 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. 32589 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. 32590 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. 32591 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. 32592 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. 32593 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; 32594 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 32595 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32596 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. 32597 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. 32598 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. 32599 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. 32600 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. 32601 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. 32602 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. 32603 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. 32604 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. 32605 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 32606 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. 32607 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. 32608 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. 32609 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, 32610 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. 32611 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. 32612 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? 32613 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? 32614 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. 32615 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. 32616 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? 32617 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. 32618 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off. 32619 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. 32620 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. 32621 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. 32622 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. 32623 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. 32624 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew. 32625 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. 32626 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. 32627 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. 32628 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? 32629 And many other things blasphemously spake they against him. 32630 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, 32631 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: 32632 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. 32633 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. 32634 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. 32635 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth. 32636 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. 32637 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. 32638 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it. 32639 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man. 32640 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place. 32641 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean. 32642 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. 32643 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. 32644 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. 32645 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. 32646 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. 32647 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves. 32648 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 32649 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: 32650 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. 32651 I will therefore chastise him, and release him. 32652 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) 32653 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: 32654 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) 32655 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. 32656 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. 32657 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. 32658 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. 32659 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. 32660 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. 32661 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. 32662 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. 32663 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. 32664 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. 32665 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. 32666 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? 32667 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. 32668 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. 32669 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. 32670 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. 32671 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, 32672 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. 32673 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 32674 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 32675 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 32676 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 32677 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 32678 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. 32679 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 32680 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. 32681 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. 32682 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. 32683 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. 32684 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things. 32685 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just: 32686 (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. 32687 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. 32688 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. 32689 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. 32690 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. 32691 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment. 32692 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. 32693 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. 32694 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. 32695 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: 32696 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? 32697 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 32698 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. 32699 And they remembered his words, 32700 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. 32701 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. 32702 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not. 32703 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. 32704 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. 32705 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 32706 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. 32707 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. 32708 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? 32709 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? 32710 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: 32711 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. 32712 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. 32713 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; 32714 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. 32715 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. 32716 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 32717 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 32718 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. 32719 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. 32720 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. 32721 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. 32722 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. 32723 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? 32724 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, 32725 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. 32726 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. 32727 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 32728 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. 32729 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 32730 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. 32731 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. 32732 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? 32733 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. 32734 And he took it, and did eat before them. 32735 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. 32736 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 32737 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 32738 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 32739 And ye are witnesses of these things. 32740 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. 32741 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. 32742 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. 32743 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: 32744 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen. 32745 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 32746 The same was in the beginning with God. 32747 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 32748 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 32749 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 32750 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 32751 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 32752 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 32753 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 32754 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 32755 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 32756 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: 32757 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 32758 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. 32759 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. 32760 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 32761 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 32762 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. 32763 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? 32764 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. 32765 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. 32766 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? 32767 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. 32768 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. 32769 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? 32770 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; 32771 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. 32772 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. 32773 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. 32774 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. 32775 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. 32776 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. 32777 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. 32778 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. 32779 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; 32780 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! 32781 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 32782 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? 32783 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. 32784 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 32785 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. 32786 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. 32787 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. 32788 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 32789 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. 32790 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. 32791 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! 32792 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. 32793 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. 32794 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. 32795 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. 32796 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 32797 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 32798 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 32799 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 32800 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 32801 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 32802 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 32803 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 32804 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, 32805 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. 32806 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. 32807 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days. 32808 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 32809 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: 32810 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; 32811 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise. 32812 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up. 32813 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? 32814 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 32815 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? 32816 But he spake of the temple of his body. 32817 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. 32818 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. 32819 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, 32820 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man. 32821 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 32822 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. 32823 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. 32824 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? 32825 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. 32826 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 32827 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 32828 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. 32829 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 32830 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? 32831 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 32832 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 32833 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 32834 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 32835 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 32836 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. 32837 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 32838 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. 32839 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 32840 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 32841 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. 32842 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. 32843 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. 32844 For John was not yet cast into prison. 32845 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. 32846 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. 32847 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. 32848 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. 32849 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. 32850 He must increase, but I must decrease. 32851 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. 32852 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony. 32853 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. 32854 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. 32855 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. 32856 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. 32857 When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, 32858 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,) 32859 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. 32860 And he must needs go through Samaria. 32861 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. 32862 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. 32863 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. 32864 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) 32865 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. 32866 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. 32867 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? 32868 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? 32869 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 32870 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. 32871 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. 32872 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. 32873 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: 32874 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. 32875 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 32876 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 32877 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 32878 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 32879 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. 32880 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 32881 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 32882 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. 32883 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? 32884 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, 32885 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? 32886 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him. 32887 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. 32888 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. 32889 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? 32890 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 32891 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. 32892 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. 32893 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. 32894 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours. 32895 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. 32896 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. 32897 And many more believed because of his own word; 32898 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. 32899 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee. 32900 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. 32901 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. 32902 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. 32903 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. 32904 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. 32905 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. 32906 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. 32907 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. 32908 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. 32909 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. 32910 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee. 32911 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 32912 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. 32913 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 32914 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. 32915 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. 32916 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? 32917 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. 32918 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 32919 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. 32920 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. 32921 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. 32922 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? 32923 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place. 32924 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. 32925 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole. 32926 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. 32927 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. 32928 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. 32929 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. 32930 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. 32931 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. 32932 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 32933 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. 32934 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. 32935 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. 32936 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 32937 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 32938 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 32939 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. 32940 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. 32941 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. 32942 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. 32943 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth. 32944 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. 32945 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. 32946 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. 32947 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. 32948 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. 32949 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 32950 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. 32951 I receive not honour from men. 32952 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. 32953 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. 32954 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? 32955 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. 32956 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me. 32957 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? 32958 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 32959 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased. 32960 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. 32961 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. 32962 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? 32963 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. 32964 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. 32965 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, 32966 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? 32967 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. 32968 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. 32969 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. 32970 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. 32971 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. 32972 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. 32973 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, 32974 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. 32975 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. 32976 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. 32977 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. 32978 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. 32979 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; 32980 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:) 32981 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. 32982 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? 32983 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. 32984 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. 32985 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 32986 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. 32987 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? 32988 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. 32989 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. 32990 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 32991 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. 32992 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. 32993 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. 32994 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 32995 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 32996 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. 32997 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. 32998 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. 32999 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? 33000 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. 33001 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. 33002 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. 33003 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. 33004 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 33005 I am that bread of life. 33006 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 33007 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 33008 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. 33009 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 33010 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. 33011 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 33012 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 33013 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 33014 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 33015 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. 33016 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. 33017 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? 33018 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? 33019 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? 33020 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 33021 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. 33022 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. 33023 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 33024 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 33025 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 33026 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. 33027 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? 33028 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve. 33029 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. 33030 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand. 33031 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. 33032 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. 33033 For neither did his brethren believe in him. 33034 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. 33035 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. 33036 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come. 33037 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee. 33038 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. 33039 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? 33040 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. 33041 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews. 33042 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. 33043 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? 33044 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 33045 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. 33046 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. 33047 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me? 33048 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee? 33049 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel. 33050 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. 33051 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? 33052 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. 33053 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? 33054 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? 33055 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. 33056 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. 33057 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me. 33058 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. 33059 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? 33060 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. 33061 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me. 33062 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come. 33063 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? 33064 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? 33065 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. 33066 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 33067 (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.) 33068 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. 33069 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? 33070 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? 33071 So there was a division among the people because of him. 33072 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him. 33073 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? 33074 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. 33075 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? 33076 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? 33077 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. 33078 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) 33079 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? 33080 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. 33081 And every man went unto his own house. 33082 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 33083 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. 33084 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 33085 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 33086 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 33087 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. 33088 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. 33089 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 33090 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. 33091 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? 33092 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. 33093 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. 33094 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. 33095 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. 33096 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. 33097 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 33098 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. 33099 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. 33100 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. 33101 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. 33102 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. 33103 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. 33104 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. 33105 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. 33106 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. 33107 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. 33108 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. 33109 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. 33110 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. 33111 As he spake these words, many believed on him. 33112 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 33113 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33114 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 33115 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 33116 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 33117 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 33118 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. 33119 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. 33120 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. 33121 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. 33122 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. 33123 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. 33124 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 33125 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. 33126 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 33127 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 33128 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. 33129 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? 33130 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. 33131 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. 33132 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. 33133 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. 33134 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? 33135 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: 33136 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. 33137 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. 33138 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 33139 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. 33140 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. 33141 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. 33142 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 33143 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. 33144 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 33145 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 33146 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, 33147 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. 33148 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? 33149 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. 33150 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? 33151 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. 33152 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not. 33153 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. 33154 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. 33155 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. 33156 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. 33157 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet. 33158 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. 33159 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? 33160 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: 33161 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. 33162 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. 33163 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. 33164 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. 33165 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. 33166 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? 33167 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? 33168 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples. 33169 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is. 33170 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. 33171 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. 33172 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. 33173 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. 33174 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. 33175 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? 33176 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? 33177 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. 33178 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. 33179 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. 33180 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? 33181 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. 33182 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. 33183 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 33184 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 33185 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 33186 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 33187 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. 33188 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 33189 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 33190 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 33191 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. 33192 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 33193 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. 33194 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 33195 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 33196 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 33197 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. 33198 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 33199 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. 33200 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. 33201 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? 33202 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind? 33203 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. 33204 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. 33205 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. 33206 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. 33207 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 33208 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 33209 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 33210 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 33211 I and my Father are one. 33212 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 33213 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33214 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. 33215 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 33216 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 33217 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? 33218 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 33219 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. 33220 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, 33221 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode. 33222 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. 33223 And many believed on him there. 33224 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. 33225 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) 33226 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. 33227 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. 33228 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. 33229 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. 33230 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. 33231 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? 33232 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. 33233 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. 33234 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. 33235 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. 33236 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. 33237 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. 33238 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him. 33239 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him. 33240 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already. 33241 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: 33242 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. 33243 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house. 33244 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 33245 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. 33246 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. 33247 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 33248 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 33249 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? 33250 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world. 33251 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. 33252 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him. 33253 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him. 33254 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. 33255 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. 33256 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled. 33257 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. 33258 Jesus wept. 33259 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! 33260 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? 33261 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. 33262 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. 33263 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? 33264 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. 33265 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. 33266 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 33267 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. 33268 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. 33269 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. 33270 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. 33271 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. 33272 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, 33273 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. 33274 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; 33275 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad. 33276 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death. 33277 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. 33278 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves. 33279 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? 33280 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. 33281 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. 33282 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. 33283 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. 33284 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him, 33285 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? 33286 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. 33287 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. 33288 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always. 33289 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. 33290 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death; 33291 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus. 33292 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 33293 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. 33294 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, 33295 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. 33296 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. 33297 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record. 33298 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle. 33299 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him. 33300 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: 33301 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. 33302 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. 33303 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. 33304 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. 33305 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 33306 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. 33307 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. 33308 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. 33309 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. 33310 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. 33311 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. 33312 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. 33313 This he said, signifying what death he should die. 33314 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? 33315 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. 33316 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. 33317 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: 33318 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? 33319 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, 33320 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. 33321 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. 33322 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: 33323 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. 33324 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. 33325 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. 33326 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 33327 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. 33328 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. 33329 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. 33330 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. 33331 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. 33332 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; 33333 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; 33334 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. 33335 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. 33336 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? 33337 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. 33338 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. 33339 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. 33340 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. 33341 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. 33342 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? 33343 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. 33344 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. 33345 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. 33346 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. 33347 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. 33348 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. 33349 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. 33350 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 33351 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. 33352 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. 33353 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. 33354 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. 33355 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? 33356 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. 33357 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. 33358 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him. 33359 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. 33360 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night. 33361 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 33362 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him. 33363 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. 33364 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 33365 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. 33366 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. 33367 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake. 33368 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. 33369 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 33370 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. 33371 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. 33372 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 33373 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 33374 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 33375 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. 33376 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 33377 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? 33378 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. 33379 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. 33380 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. 33381 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 33382 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 33383 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 33384 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 33385 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. 33386 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 33387 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 33388 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 33389 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. 33390 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 33391 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. 33392 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. 33393 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 33394 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. 33395 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. 33396 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. 33397 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. 33398 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. 33399 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. 33400 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 33401 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. 33402 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 33403 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. 33404 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. 33405 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. 33406 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 33407 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 33408 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 33409 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. 33410 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 33411 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 33412 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 33413 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 33414 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. 33415 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. 33416 These things I command you, that ye love one another. 33417 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 33418 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. 33419 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. 33420 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. 33421 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. 33422 He that hateth me hateth my Father also. 33423 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. 33424 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. 33425 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: 33426 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. 33427 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. 33428 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. 33429 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. 33430 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. 33431 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? 33432 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. 33433 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. 33434 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 33435 Of sin, because they believe not on me; 33436 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 33437 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. 33438 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 33439 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. 33440 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 33441 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 33442 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. 33443 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? 33444 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith. 33445 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? 33446 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. 33447 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. 33448 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. 33449 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. 33450 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. 33451 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. 33452 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: 33453 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. 33454 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. 33455 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. 33456 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. 33457 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? 33458 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. 33459 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. 33460 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: 33461 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 33462 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 33463 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. 33464 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 33465 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. 33466 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. 33467 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. 33468 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 33469 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. 33470 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. 33471 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. 33472 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 33473 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. 33474 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 33475 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 33476 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 33477 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 33478 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 33479 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 33480 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. 33481 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 33482 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. 33483 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. 33484 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. 33485 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. 33486 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. 33487 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. 33488 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. 33489 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? 33490 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 33491 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. 33492 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. 33493 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: 33494 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none. 33495 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. 33496 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? 33497 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, 33498 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year. 33499 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. 33500 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. 33501 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. 33502 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. 33503 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. 33504 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine. 33505 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. 33506 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said. 33507 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? 33508 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me? 33509 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest. 33510 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. 33511 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? 33512 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew. 33513 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. 33514 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man? 33515 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee. 33516 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: 33517 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die. 33518 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? 33519 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? 33520 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? 33521 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. 33522 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. 33523 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. 33524 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? 33525 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber. 33526 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. 33527 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, 33528 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. 33529 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. 33530 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! 33531 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. 33532 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. 33533 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; 33534 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. 33535 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? 33536 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. 33537 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. 33538 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. 33539 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! 33540 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. 33541 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. 33542 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: 33543 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. 33544 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. 33545 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. 33546 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. 33547 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written. 33548 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. 33549 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. 33550 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. 33551 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 33552 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. 33553 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. 33554 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. 33555 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. 33556 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. 33557 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. 33558 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: 33559 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. 33560 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. 33561 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. 33562 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced. 33563 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. 33564 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. 33565 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. 33566 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. 33567 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand. 33568 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. 33569 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. 33570 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. 33571 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. 33572 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. 33573 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, 33574 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. 33575 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. 33576 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. 33577 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home. 33578 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, 33579 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. 33580 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. 33581 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. 33582 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. 33583 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. 33584 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. 33585 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her. 33586 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. 33587 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. 33588 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 33589 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: 33590 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. 33591 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 33592 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. 33593 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. 33594 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. 33595 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God. 33596 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. 33597 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 33598 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. 33599 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. 33600 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. 33601 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. 33602 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. 33603 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. 33604 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. 33605 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. 33606 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. 33607 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. 33608 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught. 33609 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. 33610 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. 33611 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. 33612 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead. 33613 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. 33614 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. 33615 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. 33616 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdest 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. 33617 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. 33618 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? 33619 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? 33620 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. 33621 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? 33622 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true. 33623 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. 33624 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 33625 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: 33626 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: 33627 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. 33628 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. 33629 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? 33630 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. 33631 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. 33632 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 33633 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 33634 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. 33635 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey. 33636 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. 33637 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. 33638 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,) 33639 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. 33640 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. 33641 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. 33642 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. 33643 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. 33644 Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 33645 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. 33646 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 33647 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen, 33648 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. 33649 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. 33650 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 33651 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 33652 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 33653 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 33654 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 33655 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 33656 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 33657 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 33658 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 33659 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 33660 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 33661 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 33662 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine. 33663 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: 33664 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. 33665 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 33666 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: 33667 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 33668 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: 33669 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: 33670 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 33671 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: 33672 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: 33673 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. 33674 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: 33675 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: 33676 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 33677 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. 33678 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. 33679 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; 33680 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. 33681 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. 33682 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. 33683 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 33684 Until I make thy foes thy footstool. 33685 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. 33686 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? 33687 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. 33688 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. 33689 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. 33690 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. 33691 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 33692 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 33693 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 33694 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 33695 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, 33696 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. 33697 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 33698 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; 33699 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. 33700 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. 33701 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. 33702 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. 33703 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 33704 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. 33705 And all the people saw him walking and praising God: 33706 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. 33707 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. 33708 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? 33709 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. 33710 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; 33711 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. 33712 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. 33713 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. 33714 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. 33715 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. 33716 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: 33717 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. 33718 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. 33719 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. 33720 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days. 33721 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. 33722 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. 33723 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them, 33724 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 33725 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide. 33726 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand. 33727 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes, 33728 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. 33729 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this? 33730 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, 33731 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; 33732 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. 33733 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 33734 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 33735 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. 33736 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. 33737 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, 33738 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. 33739 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. 33740 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. 33741 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. 33742 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. 33743 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. 33744 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed. 33745 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. 33746 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: 33747 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? 33748 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. 33749 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, 33750 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. 33751 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, 33752 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. 33753 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. 33754 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. 33755 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 33756 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, 33757 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. 33758 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, 33759 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet. 33760 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 33761 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. 33762 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? 33763 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. 33764 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. 33765 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. 33766 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 33767 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. 33768 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. 33769 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. 33770 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things. 33771 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. 33772 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them. 33773 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.) 33774 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. 33775 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. 33776 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, 33777 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison. 33778 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said, 33779 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life. 33780 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. 33781 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and told, 33782 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. 33783 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. 33784 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people. 33785 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned. 33786 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them, 33787 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. 33788 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. 33789 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. 33790 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. 33791 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. 33792 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them. 33793 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; 33794 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men. 33795 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. 33796 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. 33797 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: 33798 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God. 33799 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. 33800 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. 33801 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ. 33802 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. 33803 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. 33804 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. 33805 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. 33806 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: 33807 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. 33808 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. 33809 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. 33810 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. 33811 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake. 33812 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God. 33813 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, 33814 And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law: 33815 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us. 33816 And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel. 33817 Then said the high priest, Are these things so? 33818 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, 33819 And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee. 33820 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. 33821 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. 33822 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. 33823 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. 33824 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. 33825 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him, 33826 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. 33827 Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance. 33828 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first. 33829 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh. 33830 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls. 33831 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers, 33832 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. 33833 But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt, 33834 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph. 33835 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. 33836 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months: 33837 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son. 33838 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. 33839 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel. 33840 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian: 33841 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not. 33842 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? 33843 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us? 33844 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday? 33845 Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons. 33846 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. 33847 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, 33848 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. 33849 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground. 33850 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. 33851 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. 33852 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. 33853 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. 33854 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: 33855 To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt, 33856 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. 33857 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. 33858 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? 33859 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. 33860 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. 33861 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; 33862 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. 33863 But Solomon built him an house. 33864 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, 33865 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? 33866 Hath not my hand made all these things? 33867 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. 33868 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: 33869 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. 33870 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. 33871 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, 33872 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. 33873 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 33874 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. 33875 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 33876 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. 33877 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. 33878 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. 33879 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. 33880 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. 33881 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. 33882 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 33883 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. 33884 And there was great joy in that city. 33885 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: 33886 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. 33887 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. 33888 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. 33889 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. 33890 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 33891 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 33892 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 33893 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. 33894 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, 33895 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. 33896 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. 33897 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. 33898 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. 33899 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. 33900 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the LORD for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me. 33901 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. 33902 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. 33903 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, 33904 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. 33905 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 33906 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 33907 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. 33908 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: 33909 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. 33910 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? 33911 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 33912 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? 33913 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. 33914 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. 33915 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. 33916 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. 33917 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 33918 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. 33919 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: 33920 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 33921 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. 33922 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. 33923 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man. 33924 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. 33925 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink. 33926 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. 33927 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, 33928 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight. 33929 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: 33930 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name. 33931 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: 33932 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake. 33933 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. 33934 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. 33935 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus. 33936 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. 33937 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? 33938 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. 33939 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him: 33940 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him. 33941 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket. 33942 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. 33943 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. 33944 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem. 33945 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him. 33946 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus. 33947 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. 33948 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda. 33949 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy. 33950 And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately. 33951 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord. 33952 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. 33953 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. 33954 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. 33955 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. 33956 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. 33957 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive. 33958 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord. 33959 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner. 33960 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, 33961 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway. 33962 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. 33963 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. 33964 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter: 33965 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do. 33966 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; 33967 And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa. 33968 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: 33969 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 33970 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 33971 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 33972 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 33973 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 33974 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. 33975 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven. 33976 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, 33977 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there. 33978 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. 33979 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them. 33980 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? 33981 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. 33982 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him. 33983 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and he had called together his kinsmen and near friends. 33984 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. 33985 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man. 33986 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together. 33987 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. 33988 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? 33989 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, 33990 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. 33991 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. 33992 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. 33993 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 33994 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. 33995 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:) 33996 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; 33997 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. 33998 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: 33999 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; 34000 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. 34001 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. 34002 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 34003 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 34004 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. 34005 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 34006 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? 34007 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. 34008 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God. 34009 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him, 34010 Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them. 34011 But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying, 34012 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: 34013 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. 34014 And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat. 34015 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth. 34016 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. 34017 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven. 34018 And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me. 34019 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house: 34020 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; 34021 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved. 34022 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. 34023 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. 34024 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? 34025 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life. 34026 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. 34027 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. 34028 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord. 34029 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. 34030 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. 34031 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord. 34032 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: 34033 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. 34034 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch. 34035 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. 34036 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea: 34037 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul. 34038 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. 34039 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. 34040 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.) 34041 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. 34042 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. 34043 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. 34044 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. 34045 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. 34046 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. 34047 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. 34048 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. 34049 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. 34050 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda. 34051 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. 34052 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel. 34053 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished. 34054 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. 34055 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter. 34056 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. 34057 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. 34058 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. 34059 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. 34060 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. 34061 But the word of God grew and multiplied. 34062 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark. 34063 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. 34064 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. 34065 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. 34066 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. 34067 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. 34068 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus: 34069 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. 34070 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. 34071 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him. 34072 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? 34073 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. 34074 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord. 34075 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem. 34076 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down. 34077 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. 34078 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience. 34079 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. 34080 And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness. 34081 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot. 34082 And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet. 34083 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. 34084 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will. 34085 Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus: 34086 When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 34087 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. 34088 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. 34089 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. 34090 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain. 34091 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre. 34092 But God raised him from the dead: 34093 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people. 34094 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers, 34095 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. 34096 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. 34097 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 34098 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: 34099 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. 34100 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: 34101 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. 34102 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets; 34103 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. 34104 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. 34105 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. 34106 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God. 34107 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. 34108 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. 34109 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. 34110 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. 34111 And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region. 34112 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. 34113 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium. 34114 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost. 34115 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. 34116 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren. 34117 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. 34118 But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles. 34119 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, 34120 They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about: 34121 And there they preached the gospel. 34122 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked: 34123 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, 34124 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked. 34125 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. 34126 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. 34127 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. 34128 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, 34129 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: 34130 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways. 34131 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. 34132 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them. 34133 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. 34134 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. 34135 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, 34136 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. 34137 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. 34138 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia. 34139 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia: 34140 And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled. 34141 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. 34142 And there they abode long time with the disciples. 34143 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. 34144 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. 34145 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. 34146 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. 34147 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. 34148 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. 34149 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. 34150 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; 34151 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 34152 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? 34153 But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. 34154 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. 34155 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me: 34156 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. 34157 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, 34158 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: 34159 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. 34160 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. 34161 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: 34162 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. 34163 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day. 34164 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: 34165 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. 34166 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: 34167 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 34168 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 34169 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. 34170 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; 34171 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. 34172 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle: 34173 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation. 34174 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them. 34175 And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles. 34176 Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still. 34177 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also. 34178 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. 34179 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark. 34180 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work. 34181 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; 34182 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God. 34183 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches. 34184 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: 34185 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium. 34186 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. 34187 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. 34188 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily. 34189 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, 34190 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. 34191 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. 34192 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. 34193 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. 34194 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis; 34195 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. 34196 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. 34197 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. 34198 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. 34199 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: 34200 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. 34201 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. 34202 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, 34203 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, 34204 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans. 34205 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them. 34206 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: 34207 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. 34208 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 34209 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. 34210 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. 34211 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 34212 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 34213 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 34214 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 34215 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. 34216 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. 34217 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house. 34218 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go. 34219 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. 34220 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. 34221 And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans. 34222 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city. 34223 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. 34224 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews: 34225 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures, 34226 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. 34227 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. 34228 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. 34229 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; 34230 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus. 34231 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things. 34232 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go. 34233 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 34234 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. 34235 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few. 34236 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. 34237 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still. 34238 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. 34239 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. 34240 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. 34241 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. 34242 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is? 34243 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean. 34244 (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.) 34245 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. 34246 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. 34247 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; 34248 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 34249 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; 34250 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: 34251 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. 34252 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. 34253 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 34254 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. 34255 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter. 34256 So Paul departed from among them. 34257 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them. 34258 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; 34259 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. 34260 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. 34261 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. 34262 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. 34263 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. 34264 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. 34265 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. 34266 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: 34267 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city. 34268 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. 34269 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat, 34270 Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law. 34271 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: 34272 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. 34273 And he drave them from the judgment seat. 34274 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. 34275 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. 34276 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews. 34277 When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not; 34278 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. 34279 And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch. 34280 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. 34281 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. 34282 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. 34283 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. 34284 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: 34285 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ. 34286 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, 34287 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. 34288 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. 34289 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. 34290 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 34291 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. 34292 And all the men were about twelve. 34293 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. 34294 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. 34295 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. 34296 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: 34297 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. 34298 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. 34299 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. 34300 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? 34301 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. 34302 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. 34303 And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. 34304 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. 34305 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed. 34306 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. 34307 So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season. 34308 And the same time there arose no small stir about that way. 34309 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen; 34310 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth. 34311 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: 34312 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. 34313 And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. 34314 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. 34315 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not. 34316 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. 34317 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused: and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together. 34318 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. 34319 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. 34320 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? 34321 Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly. 34322 For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess. 34323 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. 34324 But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly. 34325 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. 34326 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly. 34327 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia. 34328 And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece, 34329 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. 34330 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. 34331 These going before tarried for us at Troas. 34332 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. 34333 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. 34334 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together. 34335 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. 34336 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. 34337 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. 34338 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted. 34339 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. 34340 And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene. 34341 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. 34342 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. 34343 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church. 34344 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, 34345 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: 34346 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, 34347 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. 34348 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: 34349 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. 34350 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. 34351 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. 34352 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 34353 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. 34354 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. 34355 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 34356 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 34357 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. 34358 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. 34359 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel. 34360 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. 34361 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. 34362 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all. 34363 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him, 34364 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. 34365 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: 34366 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth. 34367 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. 34368 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem. 34369 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. 34370 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again. 34371 And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day. 34372 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. 34373 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy. 34374 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus. 34375 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. 34376 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. 34377 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. 34378 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done. 34379 And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem. 34380 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. 34381 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly. 34382 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present. 34383 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry. 34384 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: 34385 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. 34386 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come. 34387 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them; 34388 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. 34389 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. 34390 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. 34391 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, 34392 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. 34393 (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.) 34394 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. 34395 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar. 34396 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. 34397 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. 34398 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. 34399 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people. 34400 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him. 34401 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? 34402 Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers? 34403 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. 34404 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, 34405 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you. 34406 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,) 34407 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. 34408 And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women. 34409 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. 34410 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. 34411 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 34412 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. 34413 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. 34414 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. 34415 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. 34416 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there, 34417 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him. 34418 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. 34419 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard. 34420 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. 34421 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; 34422 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me. 34423 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee: 34424 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. 34425 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles. 34426 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. 34427 And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air, 34428 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. 34429 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? 34430 When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman. 34431 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea. 34432 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born. 34433 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. 34434 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. 34435 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day. 34436 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth. 34437 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? 34438 And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest? 34439 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. 34440 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. 34441 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided. 34442 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both. 34443 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. 34444 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. 34445 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. 34446 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. 34447 And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy. 34448 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. 34449 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. 34450 And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul. 34451 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. 34452 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. 34453 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? 34454 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. 34455 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. 34456 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. 34457 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; 34458 And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor. 34459 And he wrote a letter after this manner: 34460 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting. 34461 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. 34462 And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council: 34463 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. 34464 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. 34465 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris. 34466 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle: 34467 Who, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him. 34468 And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia; 34469 I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall. 34470 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. 34471 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, 34472 We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness. 34473 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words. 34474 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: 34475 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law. 34476 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands, 34477 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him. 34478 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so. 34479 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: 34480 Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship. 34481 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: 34482 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me. 34483 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: 34484 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. 34485 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offence toward God, and toward men. 34486 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings. 34487 Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult. 34488 Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me. 34489 Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council, 34490 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. 34491 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. 34492 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. 34493 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. 34494 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. 34495 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. 34496 But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound. 34497 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem. 34498 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him, 34499 And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him. 34500 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither. 34501 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. 34502 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. 34503 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. 34504 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. 34505 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? 34506 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. 34507 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. 34508 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go. 34509 And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Caesarea to salute Festus. 34510 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: 34511 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him. 34512 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. 34513 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. 34514 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed: 34515 But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive. 34516 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. 34517 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. 34518 Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him. 34519 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. 34520 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. 34521 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. 34522 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. 34523 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him. 34524 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself: 34525 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: 34526 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. 34527 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews; 34528 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee. 34529 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God, unto our fathers: 34530 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. 34531 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead? 34532 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. 34533 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. 34534 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. 34535 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, 34536 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. 34537 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. 34538 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. 34539 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; 34540 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, 34541 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. 34542 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: 34543 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. 34544 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me. 34545 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: 34546 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. 34547 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. 34548 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. 34549 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. 34550 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. 34551 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. 34552 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. 34553 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them: 34554 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds. 34555 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar. 34556 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. 34557 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. 34558 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. 34559 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. 34560 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. 34561 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein. 34562 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; 34563 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea. 34564 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them, 34565 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. 34566 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul. 34567 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. 34568 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete. 34569 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon. 34570 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive. 34571 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat: 34572 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. 34573 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship; 34574 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. 34575 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. 34576 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. 34577 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. 34578 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, 34579 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. 34580 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. 34581 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island. 34582 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; 34583 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms. 34584 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day. 34585 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, 34586 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. 34587 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off. 34588 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. 34589 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. 34590 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. 34591 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat. 34592 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls. 34593 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea. 34594 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. 34595 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. 34596 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. 34597 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape. 34598 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: 34599 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. 34600 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita. 34601 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. 34602 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. 34603 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. 34604 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. 34605 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. 34606 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. 34607 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. 34608 So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed: 34609 Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary. 34610 And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux. 34611 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days. 34612 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: 34613 Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome. 34614 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. 34615 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. 34616 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. 34617 Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me. 34618 But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of. 34619 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. 34620 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. 34621 But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against. 34622 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. 34623 And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not. 34624 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, 34625 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: 34626 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. 34627 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it. 34628 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves. 34629 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, 34630 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him. 34631 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, 34632 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) 34633 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 34634 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: 34635 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: 34636 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: 34637 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. 34638 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. 34639 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; 34640 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. 34641 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; 34642 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. 34643 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. 34644 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. 34645 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 34646 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. 34647 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. 34648 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 34649 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 34650 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: 34651 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. 34652 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 34653 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. 34654 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 34655 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. 34656 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: 34657 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. 34658 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; 34659 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 34660 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 34661 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 34662 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. 34663 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. 34664 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. 34665 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? 34666 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? 34667 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; 34668 Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 34669 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: 34670 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 34671 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 34672 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: 34673 For there is no respect of persons with God. 34674 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; 34675 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 34676 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: 34677 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;) 34678 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. 34679 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, 34680 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; 34681 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, 34682 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. 34683 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 34684 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? 34685 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? 34686 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. 34687 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. 34688 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? 34689 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? 34690 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 34691 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. 34692 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? 34693 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. 34694 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? 34695 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. 34696 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) 34697 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? 34698 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? 34699 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. 34700 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; 34701 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 34702 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 34703 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 34704 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 34705 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 34706 Their feet are swift to shed blood: 34707 Destruction and misery are in their ways: 34708 And the way of peace have they not known: 34709 There is no fear of God before their eyes. 34710 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. 34711 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. 34712 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 34713 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: 34714 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 34715 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 34716 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; 34717 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 34718 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 34719 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 34720 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 34721 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 34722 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. 34723 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 34724 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 34725 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 34726 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 34727 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 34728 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 34729 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 34730 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 34731 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. 34732 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. 34733 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: 34734 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. 34735 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. 34736 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: 34737 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. 34738 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, 34739 (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. 34740 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. 34741 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: 34742 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 34743 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 34744 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 34745 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; 34746 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 34747 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. 34748 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 34749 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 34750 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 34751 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 34752 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. 34753 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 34754 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 34755 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 34756 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 34757 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. 34758 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. 34759 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: 34760 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 34761 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. 34762 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. 34763 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. 34764 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.) 34765 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. 34766 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 34767 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 34768 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. 34769 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 34770 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 34771 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 34772 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. 34773 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 34774 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. 34775 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 34776 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 34777 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 34778 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 34779 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 34780 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 34781 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. 34782 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 34783 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 34784 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? 34785 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. 34786 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 34787 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. 34788 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 34789 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. 34790 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 34791 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 34792 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? 34793 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. 34794 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. 34795 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. 34796 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. 34797 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. 34798 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. 34799 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. 34800 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. 34801 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. 34802 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. 34803 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. 34804 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. 34805 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 34806 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 34807 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 34808 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 34809 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. 34810 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 34811 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 34812 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 34813 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 34814 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. 34815 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 34816 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. 34817 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 34818 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 34819 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: 34820 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 34821 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. 34822 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 34823 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 34824 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 34825 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. 34826 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 34827 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. 34828 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 34829 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. 34830 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 34831 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. 34832 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 34833 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. 34834 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. 34835 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 34836 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 34837 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 34838 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 34839 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. 34840 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? 34841 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. 34842 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. 34843 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. 34844 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. 34845 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. 34846 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. 34847 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 34848 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? 34849 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 34850 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. 34851 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 34852 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 34853 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 34854 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 34855 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. 34856 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, 34857 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 34858 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: 34859 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; 34860 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. 34861 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 34862 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 34863 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. 34864 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son. 34865 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; 34866 (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;) 34867 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. 34868 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. 34869 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 34870 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. 34871 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. 34872 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. 34873 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 34874 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? 34875 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? 34876 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? 34877 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: 34878 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 34879 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? 34880 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. 34881 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. 34882 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: 34883 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. 34884 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. 34885 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 34886 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 34887 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; 34888 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 34889 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 34890 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 34891 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. 34892 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 34893 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 34894 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:) 34895 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 34896 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; 34897 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. 34898 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 34899 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 34900 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. 34901 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 34902 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? 34903 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! 34904 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 34905 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 34906 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. 34907 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. 34908 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. 34909 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people. 34910 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. 34911 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, 34912 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. 34913 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. 34914 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 34915 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. 34916 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. 34917 (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. 34918 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: 34919 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. 34920 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. 34921 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? 34922 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 34923 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. 34924 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? 34925 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 34926 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; 34927 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 34928 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 34929 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 34930 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 34931 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. 34932 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. 34933 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? 34934 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. 34935 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: 34936 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. 34937 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes. 34938 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 34939 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: 34940 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. 34941 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. 34942 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! 34943 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? 34944 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? 34945 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. 34946 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. 34947 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. 34948 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. 34949 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 34950 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. 34951 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 34952 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; 34953 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. 34954 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 34955 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 34956 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 34957 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 34958 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. 34959 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 34960 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 34961 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. 34962 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 34963 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 34964 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 34965 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. 34966 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. 34967 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. 34968 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 34969 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: 34970 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. 34971 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 34972 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 34973 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. 34974 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 34975 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. 34976 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. 34977 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. 34978 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. 34979 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 34980 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. 34981 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. 34982 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 34983 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. 34984 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. 34985 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 34986 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. 34987 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. 34988 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. 34989 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 34990 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. 34991 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 34992 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 34993 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. 34994 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. 34995 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 34996 Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 34997 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 34998 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. 34999 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. 35000 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. 35001 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. 35002 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. 35003 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. 35004 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 35005 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. 35006 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. 35007 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. 35008 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 35009 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 35010 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God. 35011 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: 35012 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. 35013 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. 35014 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people. 35015 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. 35016 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. 35017 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. 35018 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, 35019 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. 35020 I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God. 35021 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, 35022 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. 35023 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation: 35024 But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand. 35025 For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you. 35026 But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you; 35027 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. 35028 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints. 35029 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem. 35030 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. 35031 When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain. 35032 And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ. 35033 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; 35034 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; 35035 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed. 35036 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen. 35037 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea: 35038 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. 35039 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: 35040 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. 35041 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ. 35042 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us. 35043 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. 35044 Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord. 35045 Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved. 35046 Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus' household. 35047 Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord. 35048 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord. 35049 Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. 35050 Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren which are with them. 35051 Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them. 35052 Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you. 35053 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 35054 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. 35055 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. 35056 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. 35057 Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you. 35058 I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord. 35059 Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother. 35060 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. 35061 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, 35062 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: 35063 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. 35064 Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ the will of God, and Sosthenes [our] brother, 35065 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: 35066 Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ. 35067 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 35068 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; 7 35069 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: 35070 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming 35071 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that ye may be] Christ. 35072 God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 35073 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. 35074 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. 35075 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. 35076 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? 35077 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; 35078 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. 35079 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. 35080 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. 35081 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 35082 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 35083 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? 35084 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. 35085 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 35086 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 35087 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 35088 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 35089 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]: 35090 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; 35091 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: 35092 That no flesh should glory in his presence. 35093 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 35094 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 35095 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 35096 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 35097 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 35098 And my speech and my preaching [was] not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 35099 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 35100 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: 35101 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, [even] the hidden [wisdom], which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 35102 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known [it], they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 35103 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. 35104 But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 35105 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. 35106 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. 35107 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. 35108 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. 35109 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 35110 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 35111 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, [even] as unto babes in Christ. 35112 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. 35113 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? 35114 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I [am] of Apollos; are ye not carnal? 35115 Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 35116 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 35117 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 35118 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 35119 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, [ye are] God's building. 35120 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. 35121 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 35122 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 35123 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. 35124 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 35125 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 35126 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 35127 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are. 35128 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. 35129 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 35130 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 35131 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; 35132 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; 35133 And ye are Christ's; and Christ [is] God's. 35134 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 35135 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. 35136 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. 35137 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. 35138 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. 35139 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. 35140 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]? 35141 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. 35142 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. 35143 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. 35144 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; 35145 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: 35146 Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, [and are] the offscouring of all things unto this day. 35147 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn [you]. 35148 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. 35149 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. 35150 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. 35151 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you. 35152 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. 35153 For the kingdom of God [is] not in word, but in power. 35154 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and [in] the spirit of meekness? 35155 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. 35156 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. 35157 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, 35158 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 35159 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. 35160 Your glorying [is] not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 35161 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: 35162 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. 35163 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 35164 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. 35165 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. 35166 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 35167 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person. 35168 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 35169 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? 35170 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 35171 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. 35172 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? 35173 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. 35174 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? 35175 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that [your] brethren. 35176 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, 35177 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 35178 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. 35179 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. 35180 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. 35181 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. 35182 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. 35183 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 35184 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 35185 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 35186 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? 35187 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 35188 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman. 35189 Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 35190 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 35191 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. 35192 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. 35193 But I speak this by permission, [and] not of commandment. 35194 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. 35195 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. 35196 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. 35197 And unto the married I command, [yet] not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from [her] husband: 35198 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to [her] husband: and let not the husband put away [his] wife. 35199 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. 35200 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 35201 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. 35202 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. 35203 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save [thy] husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save [thy] wife? 35204 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. 35205 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised. 35206 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. 35207 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called. 35208 Art thou called [being] a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use [it] rather. 35209 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. 35210 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. 35211 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God. 35212 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. 35213 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, [I say], that [it is] good for a man so to be. 35214 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. 35215 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. 35216 But this I say, brethren, the time [is] short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none; 35217 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; 35218 And they that use this world, as not abusing [it]: for the fashion of this world passeth away. 35219 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: 35220 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please [his] wife. 35221 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. 35222 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. 35223 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. 35224 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. 35225 So then he that giveth [her] in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth [her] not in marriage doeth better. 35226 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. 35227 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God. 35228 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 35229 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 35230 But if any man love God, the same is known of him. 35231 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. 35232 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) 35233 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. 35234 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. 35235 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. 35236 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 35237 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; 35238 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 35239 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 35240 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. 35241 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? 35242 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. 35243 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this, 35244 Have we not power to eat and to drink? 35245 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? 35246 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working? 35247 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? 35248 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? 35249 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? 35250 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. 35251 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, [is it] a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? 35252 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. 35253 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? 35254 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel. 35255 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. 35256 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! 35257 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. 35258 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. 35259 For though I be free from all [men], yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. 35260 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; 35261 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. 35262 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. 35263 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with [you]. 35264 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 35265 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. 35266 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 35267 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. 35268 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; 35269 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 35270 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 35271 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 35272 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. 35273 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 35274 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. 35275 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 35276 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. 35277 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. 35278 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. 35279 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 35280 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]. 35281 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. 35282 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. 35283 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? 35284 For we [being] many are one bread, [and] one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. 35285 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 35286 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? 35287 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. 35288 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. 35289 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? 35290 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. 35291 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's [wealth]. 35292 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, [that] eat, asking no question for conscience sake: 35293 For the earth [is] the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. 35294 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. 35295 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that showed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth [is] the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: 35296 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another [man's] conscience? 35297 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? 35298 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 35299 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: 35300 Even as I please all [men] in all [things], not seeking mine own profit, but the [profit] of many, that they may be saved. 35301 Be ye followers of me, even as I also [am] of Christ. 35302 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered [them] to you. 35303 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. 35304 Every man praying or prophesying, having [his] head covered, dishonoureth his head. 35305 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. 35306 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. 35307 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. 35308 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. 35309 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 35310 For this cause ought the woman to have power on [her] head because of the angels. 35311 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. 35312 For as the woman [is] of the man, even so [is] the man also by the woman; but all things of God. 35313 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? 35314 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? 35315 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for [her] hair is given her for a covering. 35316 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. 35317 Now in this that I declare [unto you] I praise [you] not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. 35318 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. 35319 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. 35320 When ye come together therefore into one place, [this] is not to eat the Lord's supper. 35321 For in eating every one taketh before [other] his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. 35322 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. 35323 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: 35324 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. 35325 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. 35326 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come. 35327 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. 35328 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of [that] bread, and drink of [that] cup. 35329 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 35330 For this cause many [are] weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 35331 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 35332 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. 35333 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. 35334 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. 35335 Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 35336 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 35337 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. 35338 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 35339 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 35340 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 35341 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 35342 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 35343 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 35344 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: 35345 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 35346 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. 35347 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. 35348 For the body is not one member, but many. 35349 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 35350 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? 35351 If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling? 35352 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 35353 And if they were all one member, where [were] the body? 35354 But now [are they] many members, yet but one body. 35355 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. 35356 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 35357 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. 35358 For our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that [part] which lacked: 35359 That there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another. 35360 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 35361 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 35362 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. 35363 [Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all workers of miracles? 35364 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 35365 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a more excellent way. 35366 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. 35367 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. 35368 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. 35369 Charity suffereth long, [and] is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 35370 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 35371 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 35372 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 35373 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. 35374 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 35375 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 35376 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. 35377 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. 35378 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity. 35379 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual [gifts], but rather that ye may prophesy. 35380 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. 35381 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men [to] edification, and exhortation, and comfort. 35382 He that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 35383 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. 35384 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? 35385 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? 35386 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? 35387 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. 35388 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them [is] without signification. 35389 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. 35390 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual [gifts], seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. 35391 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue pray that he may interpret. 35392 For if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 35393 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. 35394 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? 35395 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. 35396 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: 35397 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. 35398 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. 35399 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. 35400 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. 35401 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? 35402 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: 35403 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. 35404 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. 35405 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. 35406 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 35407 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. 35408 If [any thing] be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 35409 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 35410 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 35411 For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 35412 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. 35413 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. 35414 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? 35415 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. 35416 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. 35417 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. 35418 Let all things be done decently and in order. 35419 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 35420 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 35421 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 35422 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 35423 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 35424 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. 35425 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 35426 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. 35427 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 35428 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. 35429 Therefore whether [it were] I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. 35430 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 35431 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 35432 And if Christ be not risen, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also vain. 35433 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. 35434 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 35435 And if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins. 35436 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 35437 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 35438 But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become the firstfruits of them that slept. 35439 For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead. 35440 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 35441 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 35442 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. 35443 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 35444 The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death. 35445 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. 35446 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. 35447 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? 35448 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? 35449 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. 35450 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. 35451 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 35452 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak [this] to your shame. 35453 But some [man] will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? 35454 [Thou] fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: 35455 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]: 35456 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. 35457 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. 35458 [There are] also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial [is] one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial [is] another. 35459 [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. 35460 So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 35461 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 35462 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 35463 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit. 35464 Howbeit that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 35465 The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from heaven. 35466 As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly. 35467 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 35468 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 35469 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 35470 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. 35471 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality. 35472 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. 35473 O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory? 35474 fThe sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law. 35475 But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 35476 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. 35477 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. 35478 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. 35479 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by [your] letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem. 35480 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me. 35481 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia. 35482 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go. 35483 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit. 35484 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. 35485 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and [there are] many adversaries. 35486 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]. 35487 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. 35488 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. 35489 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. 35490 Let all your things be done with charity. 35491 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,) 35492 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with [us], and laboureth. 35493 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied. 35494 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such. 35495 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. 35496 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss. 35497 The salutation of [me] Paul with mine own hand. 35498 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. 35499 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. 35500 My love [be] with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. 35501 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: 35502 Grace [be] to you and peace from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ. 35503 Blessed [be] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 35504 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. 35505 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. 35506 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. 35507 And our hope of you [is] stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so [shall ye be] also of the consolation. 35508 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: 35509 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: 35510 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver [us]; 35511 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. 35512 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. 35513 For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end; 35514 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. 35515 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit; 35516 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. 35517 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? 35518 But [as] God [is] true, our word toward you was not yea and nay. 35519 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. 35520 For all the promises of God in him [are] yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. 35521 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, [is] God; 35522 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 35523 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth. 35524 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand. 35525 But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness. 35526 For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me? 35527 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. 35528 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. 35529 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all. 35530 Sufficient to such a man [is] this punishment, which [was inflicted] of many. 35531 So that contrariwise ye [ought] rather to forgive [him], and comfort [him], lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. 35532 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm [your] love toward him. 35533 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things. 35534 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; 35535 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 35536 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to [preach] Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord, 35537 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. 35538 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. 35539 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: 35540 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? 35541 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. 35542 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some [others], epistles of commendation to you, or [letters] of commendation from you? 35543 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: 35544 [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 fleshly tables of the heart. 35545 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: 35546 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency [is] of God; 35547 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. 35548 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: 35549 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 35550 For if the ministration of condemnation [be] glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. 35551 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. 35552 For if that which is done away [was] glorious, much more that which remaineth [is] glorious. 35553 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: 35554 And not as Moses, [which] put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: 35555 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which [veil] is done away in Christ. 35556 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart. 35557 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away. 35558 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty. 35559 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. 35560 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 35561 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. 35562 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 35563 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. 35564 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 35565 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. 35566 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 35567 [We are] troubled on every side, yet not distressed; [we are] perplexed, but not in despair; 35568 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 35569 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. 35570 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. 35571 So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 35572 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; 35573 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present [us] with you. 35574 For all things [are] for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 35575 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward [man] is renewed day by day. 35576 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory; 35577 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. 35578 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. 35579 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 35580 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 35581 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. 35582 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing [is] God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 35583 Therefore [we are] always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 35584 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 35585 We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 35586 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 35587 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. 35588 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. 35589 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. 35590 For whether we be beside ourselves, [it is] to God: or whether we be sober, [it is] for your cause. 35591 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 35592 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. 35593 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. 35594 Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 35595 And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 35596 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. 35597 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. 35598 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. 35599 We then, [as] workers together [with him], beseech [you] also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 35600 (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.) 35601 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: 35602 But in all [things] approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 35603 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; 35604 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, 35605 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 35606 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and [yet] true; 35607 As unknown, and [yet] well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; 35608 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and [yet] possessing all things. 35609 O [ye] Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. 35610 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. 35611 Now for a recompense in the same, (I speak as unto [my] children,) be ye also enlarged. 35612 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 35613 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 35614 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. 35615 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you, 35616 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 35617 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. 35618 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man. 35619 I speak not [this] to condemn [you]: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with [you]. 35620 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. 35621 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. 35622 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus; 35623 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. 35624 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. 35625 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. 35626 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 35627 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. 35628 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. 35629 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. 35630 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. 35631 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. 35632 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all [things]. 35633 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia; 35634 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. 35635 For to [their] power, I bear record, yea, and beyond [their] power [they were] willing of themselves; 35636 Praying us with much entreaty that we would receive the gift, and [take upon us] the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. 35637 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. 35638 Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also. 35639 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. 35640 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love. 35641 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. 35642 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. 35643 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. 35644 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. 35645 For [I mean] not that other men be eased, and ye burdened: 35646 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: 35647 As it is written, He that [had gathered] much had nothing over; and he that [had gathered] little had no lack. 35648 But thanks [be] to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you. 35649 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you. 35650 And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise [is] in the gospel throughout all the churches; 35651 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: 35652 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us: 35653 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. 35654 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. 35655 Whether [any do inquire] of Titus, [he is] my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren [be inquired of, they are] the messengers of the churches, [and] the glory of Christ. 35656 Wherefore show ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf. 35657 For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: 35658 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. 35659 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: 35660 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. 35661 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up before hand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as [a matter of] bounty, and not as [of] covetousness. 35662 But this [I say], He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 35663 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 35664 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: 35665 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. 35666 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;) 35667 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. 35668 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; 35669 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]; 35670 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you. 35671 Thanks [be] unto God for his unspeakable gift. 35672 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: 35673 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. 35674 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 35675 (For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 35676 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; 35677 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. 35678 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. 35679 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: 35680 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters. 35681 For [his] letters, say they, [are] weighty and powerful; but [his] bodily presence [is] weak, and [his] speech contemptible. 35682 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. 35683 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. 35684 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. 35685 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: 35686 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, 35687 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. 35688 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 35689 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth. 35690 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in [my] folly: and indeed bear with me. 35691 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. 35692 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 35693 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]. 35694 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles. 35695 But though [I be] rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been thoroughly made manifest among you in all things. 35696 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely? 35697 I robbed other churches, taking wages [of them], to do you service. 35698 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]. 35699 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia. 35700 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth. 35701 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. 35702 For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 35703 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 35704 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. 35705 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. 35706 That which I speak, I speak [it] not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting. 35707 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also. 35708 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye [yourselves] are wise. 35709 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. 35710 I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also. 35711 Are they Hebrews? so [am] I. Are they Israelites? so [am] I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so [am] I. 35712 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. 35713 Of the Jews five times received I forty [stripes] save one. 35714 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; 35715 [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; 35716 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. 35717 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. 35718 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not? 35719 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities. 35720 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not. 35721 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me: 35722 And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands. 35723 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. 35724 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. 35725 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) 35726 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 35727 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. 35728 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. 35729 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. 35730 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 35731 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. 35732 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. 35733 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. 35734 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. 35735 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. 35736 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. 35737 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. 35738 But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile. 35739 Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you? 35740 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? 35741 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. 35742 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: 35743 [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. 35744 This [is] the third [time] I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. 35745 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: 35746 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you. 35747 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. 35748 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? 35749 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates. 35750 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. 35751 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 35752 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, [even] your perfection. 35753 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. 35754 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. 35755 Greet one another with an holy kiss. 35756 All the saints salute you. 35757 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, [be] with you all. Amen. 35758 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) 35759 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: 35760 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 35761 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: 35762 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 35763 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 35764 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 35765 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. 35766 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. 35767 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. 35768 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 35769 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. 35770 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: 35771 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. 35772 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, 35773 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: 35774 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. 35775 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. 35776 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. 35777 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not. 35778 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia; 35779 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ: 35780 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed. 35781 And they glorified God in me. 35782 Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also. 35783 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. 35784 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised: 35785 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: 35786 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you. 35787 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: 35788 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; 35789 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) 35790 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. 35791 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do. 35792 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. 35793 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. 35794 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. 35795 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? 35796 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 35797 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. 35798 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. 35799 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 35800 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. 35801 I am crucified with Christ: neverthless 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. 35802 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. 35803 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? 35804 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 35805 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? 35806 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. 35807 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? 35808 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 35809 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 35810 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. 35811 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 35812 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. 35813 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. 35814 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. 35815 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: 35816 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. 35817 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. 35818 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. 35819 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. 35820 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. 35821 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. 35822 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. 35823 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. 35824 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. 35825 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 35826 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 35827 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 35828 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 35829 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 35830 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. 35831 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. 35832 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 35833 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 35834 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 35835 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 35836 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 35837 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 35838 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. 35839 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. 35840 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? 35841 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 35842 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. 35843 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all. 35844 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first. 35845 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. 35846 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. 35847 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? 35848 They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them. 35849 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you. 35850 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, 35851 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you. 35852 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? 35853 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. 35854 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. 35855 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. 35856 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. 35857 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. 35858 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. 35859 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. 35860 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. 35861 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. 35862 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free. 35863 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 35864 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. 35865 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. 35866 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. 35867 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 35868 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. 35869 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? 35870 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. 35871 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. 35872 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. 35873 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased. 35874 I would they were even cut off which trouble you. 35875 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 35876 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 35877 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 35878 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 35879 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. 35880 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 35881 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 35882 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 35883 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. 35884 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 35885 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 35886 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 35887 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 35888 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. 35889 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. 35890 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 35891 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 35892 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 35893 For every man shall bear his own burden. 35894 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 35895 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 35896 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. 35897 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 35898 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. 35899 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. 35900 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. 35901 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 35902 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. 35903 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 35904 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. 35905 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. 35906 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. 35907 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: 35908 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 35909 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 35910 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: 35911 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 35912 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 35913 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 35914 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 35915 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 35916 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: 35917 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: 35918 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 35919 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, 35920 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. 35921 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 35922 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 35923 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: 35924 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, 35925 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 35926 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 35927 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: 35928 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 35929 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. 35930 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 35931 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: 35932 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. 35933 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 35934 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 35935 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 35936 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 35937 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 35938 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 35939 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 35940 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; 35941 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: 35942 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 35943 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 35944 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; 35945 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 35946 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 35947 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 35948 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 35949 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 35950 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 35951 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. 35952 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 35953 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: 35954 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 35955 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 35956 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; 35957 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: 35958 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. 35959 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; 35960 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: 35961 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, 35962 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: 35963 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. 35964 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. 35965 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 35966 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 35967 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 35968 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 35969 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 35970 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. 35971 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, 35972 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. 35973 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 35974 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 35975 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 35976 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 35977 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 35978 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 35979 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 35980 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 35981 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 35982 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 35983 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 35984 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 35985 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: 35986 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; 35987 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 35988 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. 35989 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 35990 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: 35991 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 35992 But ye have not so learned Christ; 35993 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 35994 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 35995 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 35996 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 35997 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 35998 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 35999 Neither give place to the devil. 36000 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. 36001 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. 36002 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 36003 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 36004 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. 36005 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 36006 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. 36007 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 36008 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 36009 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. 36010 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 36011 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 36012 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 36013 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 36014 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 36015 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 36016 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 36017 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 36018 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 36019 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 36020 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 36021 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 36022 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 36023 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 36024 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 36025 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 36026 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 36027 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. 36028 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 36029 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 36030 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 36031 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. 36032 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 36033 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 36034 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 36035 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. 36036 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 36037 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. 36038 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 36039 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; 36040 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. 36041 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. 36042 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; 36043 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; 36044 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: 36045 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. 36046 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. 36047 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 36048 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 36049 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. 36050 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. 36051 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 36052 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 36053 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 36054 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 36055 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 36056 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, 36057 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. 36058 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: 36059 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts. 36060 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 36061 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. 36062 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: 36063 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 36064 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, 36065 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, 36066 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; 36067 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: 36068 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. 36069 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. 36070 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; 36071 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ. 36072 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. 36073 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; 36074 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; 36075 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 36076 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: 36077 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 36078 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 36079 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 36080 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 36081 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. 36082 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 36083 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. 36084 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 36085 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. 36086 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; 36087 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again. 36088 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; 36089 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. 36090 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; 36091 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me. 36092 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 36093 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 36094 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 36095 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 36096 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 36097 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 36098 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 36099 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 36100 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 36101 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 36102 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 36103 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. 36104 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 36105 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 36106 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; 36107 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. 36108 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. 36109 For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me. 36110 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. 36111 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. 36112 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's. 36113 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel. 36114 Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me. 36115 But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly. 36116 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. 36117 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick. 36118 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. 36119 I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful. 36120 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation: 36121 Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me. 36122 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. 36123 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. 36124 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 36125 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: 36126 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; 36127 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 36128 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 36129 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, 36130 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: 36131 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 36132 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 36133 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. 36134 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, 36135 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 36136 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. 36137 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. 36138 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 36139 (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: 36140 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 36141 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 36142 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. 36143 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. 36144 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. 36145 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. 36146 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. 36147 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 36148 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 36149 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 36150 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. 36151 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. 36152 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. 36153 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 36154 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. 36155 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 36156 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. 36157 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. 36158 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. 36159 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. 36160 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. 36161 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 36162 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 36163 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you. 36164 All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household. 36165 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. 36166 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother, 36167 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. 36168 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 36169 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints, 36170 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; 36171 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: 36172 As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ; 36173 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit. 36174 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; 36175 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 36176 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; 36177 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 36178 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 36179 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 36180 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 36181 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: 36182 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 36183 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. 36184 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 36185 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. 36186 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 36187 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 36188 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; 36189 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: 36190 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; 36191 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 36192 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: 36193 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 36194 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. 36195 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; 36196 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; 36197 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 36198 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. 36199 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. 36200 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 36201 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 36202 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. 36203 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 36204 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 36205 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: 36206 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. 36207 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 36208 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; 36209 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 36210 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: 36211 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 36212 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, 36213 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. 36214 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, 36215 (Touch not; taste not; handle not; 36216 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? 36217 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. 36218 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 36219 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 36220 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 36221 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 36222 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 36223 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 36224 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them. 36225 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 36226 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 36227 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 36228 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 36229 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 36230 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 36231 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 36232 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 36233 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. 36234 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. 36235 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 36236 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. 36237 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. 36238 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. 36239 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God; 36240 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 36241 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. 36242 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. 36243 Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven. 36244 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; 36245 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: 36246 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak. 36247 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. 36248 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. 36249 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord: 36250 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts; 36251 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here. 36252 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;) 36253 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. 36254 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. 36255 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis. 36256 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you. 36257 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house. 36258 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. 36259 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it. 36260 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen. 36261 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. 36262 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 36263 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; 36264 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 36265 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. 36266 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost. 36267 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia. 36268 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. 36269 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; 36270 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. 36271 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain: 36272 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. 36273 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: 36274 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. 36275 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness: 36276 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. 36277 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children: 36278 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. 36279 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. 36280 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe: 36281 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children, 36282 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. 36283 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. 36284 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: 36285 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: 36286 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. 36287 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. 36288 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us. 36289 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? 36290 For ye are our glory and joy. 36291 Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone; 36292 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: 36293 That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto. 36294 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. 36295 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. 36296 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: 36297 Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith: 36298 For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. 36299 For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God; 36300 Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith? 36301 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you. 36302 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: 36303 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. 36304 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. 36305 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. 36306 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 36307 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 36308 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: 36309 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. 36310 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. 36311 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. 36312 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another. 36313 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; 36314 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; 36315 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. 36316 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. 36317 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 36318 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. 36319 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: 36320 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. 36321 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 36322 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 36323 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 36324 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. 36325 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 36326 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 36327 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 36328 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 36329 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. 36330 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 36331 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 36332 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. 36333 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; 36334 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves. 36335 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. 36336 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 36337 Rejoice evermore. 36338 Pray without ceasing. 36339 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 36340 Quench not the Spirit. 36341 Despise not prophesyings. 36342 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 36343 Abstain from all appearance of evil. 36344 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. 36345 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. 36346 Brethren, pray for us. 36347 Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss. 36348 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren. 36349 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. 36350 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: 36351 Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 36352 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; 36353 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: 36354 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: 36355 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 36356 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 36357 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 36358 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 36359 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. 36360 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: 36361 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. 36362 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 36363 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. 36364 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; 36365 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. 36366 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 36367 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 36368 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 36369 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: 36370 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 36371 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 36372 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 36373 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 36374 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: 36375 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 36376 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 36377 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, 36378 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. 36379 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: 36380 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. 36381 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. 36382 And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. 36383 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. 36384 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. 36385 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; 36386 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: 36387 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. 36388 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 36389 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. 36390 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. 36391 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing. 36392 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. 36393 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother. 36394 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all. 36395 The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write. 36396 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. 36397 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, [which is] our hope; 36398 Unto Timothy, [my] own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. 36399 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, 36400 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: [so do]. 36401 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and [of] a good conscience, and [of] faith unfeigned: 36402 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; 36403 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. 36404 But we know that the law [is] good, if a man use it lawfully; 36405 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, 36406 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; 36407 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. 36408 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; 36409 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did [it] ignorantly in unbelief. 36410 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 36411 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. 36412 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. 36413 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, [be] honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 36414 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; 36415 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 36416 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme. 36417 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men; 36418 For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 36419 For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 36420 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 36421 For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 36422 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 36423 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. 36424 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 36425 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; 36426 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. 36427 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 36428 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 36429 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 36430 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 36431 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. 36432 This [is] a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 36433 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 36434 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 36435 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 36436 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 36437 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 36438 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 36439 Likewise [must] the deacons [be] grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 36440 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 36441 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being [found] blameless. 36442 Even so [must their] wives [be] grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. 36443 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 36444 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. 36445 These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 36446 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. 36447 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. 36448 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; 36449 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 36450 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. 36451 For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 36452 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 36453 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. 36454 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself [rather] unto godliness. 36455 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. 36456 This [is] a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. 36457 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. 36458 These things command and teach. 36459 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. 36460 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 36461 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 36462 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 36463 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. 36464 Rebuke not an elder, but entreat [him] as a father; [and] the younger men as brethren; 36465 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity. 36466 Honour widows that are widows indeed. 36467 But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to show piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. 36468 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. 36469 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. 36470 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless. 36471 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. 36472 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man, 36473 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. 36474 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry; 36475 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. 36476 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. 36477 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 36478 For some are already turned aside after Satan. 36479 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. 36480 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 36481 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer [is] worthy of his reward. 36482 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. 36483 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 36484 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. 36485 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure. 36486 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. 36487 Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some [men] they follow after. 36488 Likewise also the good works [of some] are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid. 36489 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. 36490 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. 36491 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; 36492 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 36493 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 36494 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 36495 For we brought nothing into [this] world, [and it is] certain we can carry nothing out. 36496 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 36497 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. 36498 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. 36499 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 36500 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. 36501 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; 36502 That thou keep [this] commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 36503 Which in his times he shall show, [who is] the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 36504 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. 36505 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; 36506 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 36507 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 36508 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane [and] vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 36509 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace [be] with thee. Amen. 36510 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, 36511 To Timothy, [my] dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 36512 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; 36513 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; 36514 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. 36515 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. 36516 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 36517 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; 36518 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, 36519 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: 36520 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. 36521 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. 36522 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 36523 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us. 36524 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. 36525 The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain: 36526 But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found [me]. 36527 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. 36528 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 36529 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. 36530 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 36531 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. 36532 And if a man also strive for masteries, [yet] is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 36533 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. 36534 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. 36535 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 36536 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, [even] unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. 36537 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. 36538 [It is] a faithful saying: For if we be dead with [him], we shall also live with [him]: 36539 If we suffer, we shall also reign with [him]: if we deny [him], he also will deny us: 36540 If we believe not, [yet] he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. 36541 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. 36542 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 36543 But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 36544 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 36545 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. 36546 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. 36547 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. 36548 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. 36549 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 36550 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 36551 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all [men], apt to teach, patient, 36552 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 36553 And [that] they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. 36554 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 36555 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 36556 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 36557 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 36558 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 36559 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 36560 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 36561 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 36562 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all [men], as theirs also was. 36563 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 36564 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. 36565 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 36566 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 36567 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned [them]; 36568 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. 36569 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 36570 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 36571 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; 36572 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 36573 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; 36574 And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 36575 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. 36576 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 36577 I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I have kept the faith: 36578 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. 36579 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: 36580 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. 36581 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry. 36582 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus. 36583 The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring [with thee], and the books, [but] especially the parchments. 36584 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: 36585 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words. 36586 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. 36587 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. 36588 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. 36589 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. 36590 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick. 36591 Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren. 36592 The Lord Jesus Christ [be] with thy spirit. Grace [be] with you. Amen. 36593 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; 36594 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie promised before the world began; 36595 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; 36596 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. 36597 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: 36598 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. 36599 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; 36600 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; 36601 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. 36602 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: 36603 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. 36604 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. 36605 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 36606 Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. 36607 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. 36608 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. 36609 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: 36610 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 36611 The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 36612 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 36613 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. 36614 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. 36615 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, 36616 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. 36617 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; 36618 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. 36619 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 36620 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 36621 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 36622 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. 36623 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. 36624 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, 36625 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. 36626 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 36627 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 36628 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; 36629 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 36630 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 36631 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. 36632 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 36633 A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject; 36634 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. 36635 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter. 36636 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them. 36637 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful. 36638 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen. 36639 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy [our] brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer, 36640 And to [our] beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house: 36641 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 36642 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 36643 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 36644 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. 36645 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. 36646 Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient, 36647 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. 36648 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: 36649 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me: 36650 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels: 36651 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel: 36652 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. 36653 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; 36654 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? 36655 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. 36656 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth [thee] ought, put that on mine account; 36657 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. 36658 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord. 36659 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say. 36660 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you. 36661 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus; 36662 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers. 36663 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Amen. 36664 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 36665 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; 36666 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: 36667 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 36668 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? 36669 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. 36670 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 36671 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. 36672 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 36673 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: 36674 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; 36675 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. 36676 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? 36677 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? 36678 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. 36679 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; 36680 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; 36681 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? 36682 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. 36683 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? 36684 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: 36685 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. 36686 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. 36687 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. 36688 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, 36689 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. 36690 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. 36691 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; 36692 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 36693 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 36694 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. 36695 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. 36696 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; 36697 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. 36698 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. 36699 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. 36700 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; 36701 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. 36702 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, 36703 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 36704 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. 36705 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. 36706 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) 36707 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 36708 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 36709 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 36710 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 36711 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. 36712 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? 36713 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? 36714 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. 36715 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. 36716 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. 36717 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. 36718 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. 36719 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. 36720 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: 36721 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. 36722 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. 36723 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 36724 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 36725 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. 36726 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. 36727 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. 36728 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. 36729 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. 36730 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. 36731 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: 36732 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. 36733 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. 36734 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. 36735 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. 36736 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 36737 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; 36738 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 36739 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; 36740 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec. 36741 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. 36742 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. 36743 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 36744 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. 36745 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, 36746 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 36747 And this will we do, if God permit. 36748 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, 36749 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 36750 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. 36751 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: 36752 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. 36753 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. 36754 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. 36755 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 36756 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 36757 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, 36758 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. 36759 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. 36760 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. 36761 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: 36762 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: 36763 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; 36764 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 36765 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; 36766 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; 36767 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. 36768 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. 36769 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: 36770 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. 36771 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. 36772 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. 36773 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. 36774 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him. 36775 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? 36776 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. 36777 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. 36778 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. 36779 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, 36780 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. 36781 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 36782 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. 36783 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. 36784 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: 36785 (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:) 36786 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. 36787 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: 36788 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 36789 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. 36790 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 36791 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. 36792 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. 36793 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; 36794 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. 36795 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. 36796 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: 36797 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. 36798 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. 36799 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. 36800 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: 36801 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. 36802 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: 36803 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. 36804 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 36805 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. 36806 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. 36807 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. 36808 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; 36809 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; 36810 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. 36811 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. 36812 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: 36813 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: 36814 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; 36815 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. 36816 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; 36817 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. 36818 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: 36819 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? 36820 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. 36821 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 36822 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. 36823 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. 36824 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, 36825 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. 36826 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. 36827 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. 36828 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. 36829 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: 36830 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; 36831 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. 36832 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 36833 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. 36834 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. 36835 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 36836 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 36837 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 36838 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 36839 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 36840 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 36841 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; 36842 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 36843 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 36844 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 36845 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 36846 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 36847 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 36848 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, 36849 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; 36850 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 36851 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. 36852 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 36853 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 36854 And having an high priest over the house of God; 36855 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. 36856 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 36857 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 36858 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. 36859 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 36860 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 36861 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 36862 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? 36863 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. 36864 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. 36865 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions; 36866 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used. 36867 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. 36868 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. 36869 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 36870 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 36871 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 36872 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. 36873 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 36874 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 36875 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. 36876 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. 36877 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. 36878 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. 36879 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. 36880 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. 36881 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: 36882 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 36883 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. 36884 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. 36885 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. 36886 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 36887 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. 36888 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. 36889 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 36890 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 36891 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. 36892 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. 36893 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. 36894 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. 36895 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. 36896 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; 36897 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 36898 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. 36899 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 36900 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. 36901 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned. 36902 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days. 36903 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace. 36904 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: 36905 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions. 36906 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. 36907 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: 36908 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: 36909 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; 36910 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. 36911 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: 36912 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. 36913 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, 36914 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. 36915 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 36916 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. 36917 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: 36918 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 36919 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 36920 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 36921 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? 36922 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. 36923 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. 36924 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; 36925 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. 36926 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 36927 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; 36928 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. 36929 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. 36930 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, 36931 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: 36932 (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: 36933 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) 36934 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, 36935 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, 36936 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things that that of Abel. 36937 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: 36938 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 36939 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. 36940 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 36941 For our God is a consuming fire. 36942 Let brotherly love continue. 36943 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. 36944 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. 36945 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. 36946 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. 36947 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. 36948 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. 36949 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. 36950 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. 36951 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. 36952 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. 36953 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. 36954 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. 36955 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. 36956 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. 36957 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 36958 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. 36959 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. 36960 But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. 36961 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, 36962 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. 36963 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words. 36964 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you. 36965 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you. 36966 Grace be with you all. Amen. 36967 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 36968 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 36969 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 36970 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 36971 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. 36972 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. 36973 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 36974 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. 36975 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: 36976 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. 36977 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. 36978 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. 36979 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: 36980 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 36981 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 36982 Do not err, my beloved brethren. 36983 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. 36984 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. 36985 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 36986 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 36987 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 36988 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 36989 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: 36990 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 36991 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. 36992 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. 36993 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. 36994 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 36995 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; 36996 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: 36997 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? 36998 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? 36999 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? 37000 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? 37001 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 37002 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 37003 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 37004 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. 37005 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. 37006 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. 37007 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 37008 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 37009 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? 37010 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 37011 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. 37012 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 37013 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 37014 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 37015 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 37016 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. 37017 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 37018 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 37019 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. 37020 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. 37021 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. 37022 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. 37023 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. 37024 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! 37025 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. 37026 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: 37027 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 37028 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 37029 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 37030 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? 37031 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. 37032 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. 37033 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 37034 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 37035 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 37036 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. 37037 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. 37038 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 37039 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. 37040 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 37041 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. 37042 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 37043 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 37044 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 37045 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 37046 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 37047 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. 37048 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. 37049 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? 37050 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: 37051 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. 37052 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. 37053 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. 37054 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. 37055 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 37056 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. 37057 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. 37058 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. 37059 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. 37060 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you. 37061 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. 37062 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 37063 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. 37064 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. 37065 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. 37066 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. 37067 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 37068 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: 37069 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. 37070 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. 37071 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. 37072 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. 37073 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; 37074 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. 37075 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 37076 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. 37077 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, 37078 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 37079 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 37080 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 37081 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: 37082 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: 37083 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 37084 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 37085 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. 37086 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. 37087 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; 37088 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 37089 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 37090 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 37091 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: 37092 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; 37093 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 37094 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 37095 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. 37096 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: 37097 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 37098 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: 37099 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. 37100 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings, 37101 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 37102 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 37103 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 37104 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. 37105 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. 37106 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, 37107 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. 37108 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; 37109 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. 37110 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; 37111 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. 37112 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 37113 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. 37114 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: 37115 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. 37116 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. 37117 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. 37118 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 37119 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. 37120 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 37121 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 37122 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: 37123 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. 37124 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. 37125 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; 37126 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. 37127 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 37128 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. 37129 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: 37130 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. 37131 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. 37132 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 37133 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 37134 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: 37135 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 37136 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. 37137 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? 37138 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; 37139 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: 37140 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. 37141 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. 37142 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: 37143 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 37144 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. 37145 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: 37146 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. 37147 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; 37148 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. 37149 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: 37150 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: 37151 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. 37152 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. 37153 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. 37154 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. 37155 Use hospitality one to another without grudging. 37156 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 37157 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. 37158 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 37159 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. 37160 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. 37161 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. 37162 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 37163 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? 37164 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 37165 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. 37166 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: 37167 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; 37168 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. 37169 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. 37170 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. 37171 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 37172 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 37173 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 37174 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 37175 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. 37176 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 37177 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. 37178 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son. 37179 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen. 37180 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: 37181 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 37182 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: 37183 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. 37184 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 37185 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 37186 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 37187 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. 37188 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 37189 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 37190 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 37191 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. 37192 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; 37193 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. 37194 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. 37195 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. 37196 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. 37197 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 37198 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: 37199 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 37200 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. 37201 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. 37202 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 37203 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. 37204 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; 37205 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; 37206 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; 37207 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 37208 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 37209 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 37210 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. 37211 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 37212 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; 37213 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; 37214 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 37215 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; 37216 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. 37217 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 37218 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. 37219 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. 37220 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. 37221 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. 37222 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. 37223 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 37224 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: 37225 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 37226 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. 37227 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: 37228 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 37229 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. 37230 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. 37231 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. 37232 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. 37233 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 37234 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? 37235 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 37236 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 37237 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; 37238 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. 37239 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. 37240 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. 37241 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; 37242 (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;) 37243 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. 37244 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. 37245 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. 37246 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 37247 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. 37248 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 37249 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 37250 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. 37251 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: 37252 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 37253 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 37254 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 37255 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 37256 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 37257 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. 37258 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. 37259 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 37260 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. 37261 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. 37262 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. 37263 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. 37264 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. 37265 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. 37266 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. 37267 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. 37268 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. 37269 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. 37270 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 37271 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. 37272 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 37273 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 37274 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. 37275 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 37276 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 37277 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. 37278 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. 37279 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him. 37280 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. 37281 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. 37282 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 37283 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 37284 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 37285 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 37286 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 37287 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. 37288 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. 37289 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. 37290 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 37291 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. 37292 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. 37293 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 37294 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 37295 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. 37296 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? 37297 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 37298 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 37299 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 37300 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. 37301 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 37302 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. 37303 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. 37304 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 37305 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 37306 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. 37307 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. 37308 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 37309 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. 37310 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 37311 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 37312 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. 37313 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 37314 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 37315 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 37316 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 37317 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 37318 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 37319 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. 37320 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. 37321 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. 37322 We love him, because he first loved us. 37323 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? 37324 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. 37325 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. 37326 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 37327 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 37328 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 37329 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 37330 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. 37331 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 37332 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 37333 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. 37334 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. 37335 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 37336 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 37337 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. 37338 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 37339 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 37340 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. 37341 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. 37342 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. 37343 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. 37344 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. 37345 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. 37346 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; 37347 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. 37348 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. 37349 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. 37350 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. 37351 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. 37352 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. 37353 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 37354 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. 37355 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 37356 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. 37357 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. 37358 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen. 37359 The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth. 37360 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 37361 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. 37362 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 37363 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers; 37364 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: 37365 Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles. 37366 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth. 37367 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. 37368 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. 37369 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. 37370 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. 37371 I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee: 37372 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. 37373 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: 37374 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. 37375 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. 37376 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. 37377 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. 37378 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. 37379 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. 37380 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. 37381 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. 37382 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. 37383 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. 37384 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; 37385 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. 37386 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 37387 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. 37388 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. 37389 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 37390 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 37391 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. 37392 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 37393 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 37394 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 37395 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. 37396 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, 37397 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. 37398 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: 37399 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. 37400 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. 37401 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; 37402 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, 37403 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 37404 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. 37405 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. 37406 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. 37407 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 37408 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. 37409 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 37410 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. 37411 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 37412 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 37413 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. 37414 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: 37415 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. 37416 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; 37417 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. 37418 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; 37419 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: 37420 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 37421 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 37422 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. 37423 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate. 37424 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. 37425 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; 37426 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. 37427 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. 37428 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. 37429 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; 37430 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. 37431 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. 37432 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate. 37433 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 37434 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. 37435 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; 37436 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. 37437 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. 37438 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 37439 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 37440 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. 37441 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. 37442 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. 37443 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: 37444 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. 37445 And I will give him the morning star. 37446 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. 37447 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. 37448 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. 37449 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. 37450 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. 37451 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. 37452 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. 37453 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; 37454 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. 37455 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. 37456 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. 37457 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 37458 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. 37459 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. 37460 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; 37461 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 37462 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 37463 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: 37464 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. 37465 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 37466 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. 37467 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. 37468 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. 37469 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. 37470 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. 37471 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. 37472 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. 37473 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. 37474 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. 37475 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. 37476 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. 37477 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, 37478 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, 37479 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. 37480 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. 37481 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 37482 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 37483 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 37484 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. 37485 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. 37486 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 37487 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. 37488 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; 37489 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 37490 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; 37491 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. 37492 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. 37493 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever. 37494 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. 37495 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. 37496 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 37497 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. 37498 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. 37499 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. 37500 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 37501 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. 37502 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: 37503 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? 37504 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. 37505 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; 37506 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. 37507 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 37508 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; 37509 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: 37510 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? 37511 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. 37512 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, 37513 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. 37514 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. 37515 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. 37516 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. 37517 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. 37518 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. 37519 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; 37520 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. 37521 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, 37522 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. 37523 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 37524 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. 37525 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. 37526 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 37527 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. 37528 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. 37529 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. 37530 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. 37531 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. 37532 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. 37533 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. 37534 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. 37535 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; 37536 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. 37537 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; 37538 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. 37539 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. 37540 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! 37541 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. 37542 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. 37543 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. 37544 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. 37545 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. 37546 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 37547 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. 37548 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 37549 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. 37550 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. 37551 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. 37552 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter. 37553 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 37554 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. 37555 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. 37556 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. 37557 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. 37558 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. 37559 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. 37560 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: 37561 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. 37562 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: 37563 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, 37564 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. 37565 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. 37566 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, 37567 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: 37568 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. 37569 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. 37570 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. 37571 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. 37572 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings. 37573 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. 37574 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. 37575 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. 37576 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. 37577 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. 37578 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. 37579 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. 37580 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. 37581 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. 37582 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. 37583 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. 37584 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. 37585 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. 37586 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. 37587 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. 37588 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 37589 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. 37590 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. 37591 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. 37592 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: 37593 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 37594 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. 37595 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. 37596 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. 37597 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. 37598 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 37599 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 37600 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. 37601 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. 37602 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. 37603 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. 37604 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. 37605 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. 37606 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. 37607 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. 37608 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. 37609 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. 37610 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. 37611 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. 37612 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? 37613 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. 37614 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 37615 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. 37616 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. 37617 If any man have an ear, let him hear. 37618 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. 37619 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. 37620 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. 37621 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 37622 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. 37623 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. 37624 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: 37625 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. 37626 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. 37627 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. 37628 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: 37629 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. 37630 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. 37631 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. 37632 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, 37633 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. 37634 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. 37635 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, 37636 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: 37637 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. 37638 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. 37639 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. 37640 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. 37641 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. 37642 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. 37643 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 37644 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. 37645 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. 37646 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. 37647 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. 37648 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. 37649 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. 37650 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. 37651 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: 37652 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. 37653 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. 37654 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. 37655 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. 37656 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. 37657 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. 37658 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. 37659 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. 37660 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. 37661 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. 37662 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 37663 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. 37664 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, 37665 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. 37666 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. 37667 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. 37668 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. 37669 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 37670 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. 37671 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. 37672 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. 37673 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. 37674 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 37675 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. 37676 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: 37677 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. 37678 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. 37679 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: 37680 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 37681 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. 37682 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. 37683 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. 37684 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 37685 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. 37686 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. 37687 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. 37688 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. 37689 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. 37690 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 37691 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. 37692 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. 37693 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. 37694 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 37695 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. 37696 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. 37697 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. 37698 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 37699 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. 37700 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. 37701 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. 37702 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, 37703 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. 37704 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: 37705 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, 37706 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. 37707 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. 37708 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 37709 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! 37710 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, 37711 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 37712 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. 37713 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. 37714 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. 37715 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; 37716 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. 37717 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. 37718 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: 37719 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. 37720 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. 37721 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. 37722 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. 37723 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. 37724 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. 37725 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. 37726 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. 37727 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. 37728 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. 37729 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. 37730 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 37731 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 37732 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. 37733 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 37734 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; 37735 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. 37736 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. 37737 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. 37738 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. 37739 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 37740 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 37741 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. 37742 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. 37743 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 37744 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. 37745 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 37746 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. 37747 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. 37748 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. 37749 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. 37750 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. 37751 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. 37752 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 37753 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. 37754 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. 37755 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 37756 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. 37757 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. 37758 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. 37759 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. 37760 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 37761 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. 37762 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. 37763 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, 37764 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 37765 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: 37766 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. 37767 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 37768 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. 37769 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. 37770 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. 37771 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. 37772 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; 37773 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. 37774 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. 37775 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 37776 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. 37777 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. 37778 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. 37779 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. 37780 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. 37781 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. 37782 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. 37783 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: 37784 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 37785 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. 37786 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. 37787 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. 37788 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. 37789 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. 37790 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. 37791 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. 37792 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 37793 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 37794 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. 37795 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 37796 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. 37797 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. 37798 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: 37799 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. 37800 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 37801 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
