In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
field: 1001002
1
1
2
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
field: 1001003
1
1
3
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
field: 1001004
1
1
4
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
field: 1001005
1
1
5
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
field: 1001006
1
1
6
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
field: 1001007
1
1
7
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
field: 1001008
1
1
8
And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
field: 1001009
1
1
9
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
field: 1001010
1
1
10
And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
field: 1001011
1
1
11
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
field: 1001012
1
1
12
And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
field: 1001013
1
1
13
And the evening and the morning were the third day.
field: 1001014
1
1
14
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
field: 1001015
1
1
15
And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
field: 1001016
1
1
16
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
field: 1001017
1
1
17
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
field: 1001018
1
1
18
And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
field: 1001019
1
1
19
And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
field: 1001020
1
1
20
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
field: 1001021
1
1
21
And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
field: 1001022
1
1
22
And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
field: 1001023
1
1
23
And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
field: 1001024
1
1
24
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
field: 1001025
1
1
25
And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
field: 1001026
1
1
26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
field: 1001027
1
1
27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
field: 1001028
1
1
28
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
field: 1001029
1
1
29
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
field: 1001030
1
1
30
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
field: 1001031
1
1
31
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
field: 1002001
1
2
1
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
field: 1002002
1
2
2
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
field: 1002003
1
2
3
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
field: 1002004

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,
field: 1002005
1
2
5
And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
field: 1002006
1
2
6
But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
field: 1002007
1
2
7
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
field: 1002008
1
2
8
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
field: 1002009
1
2
9
And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
field: 1002010
1
2
10
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
field: 1002011
1
2
11
The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
field: 1002012
1
2
12
And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
field: 1002013
1
2
13
And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
field: 1002014
1
2
14
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
field: 1002015
1
2
15
And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
field: 1002016
1
2
16
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
field: 1002017
1
2
17
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
field: 1002018
1
2
18
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
field: 1002019
1
2
19
And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
field: 1002020
1
2
20
And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
field: 1002021
1
2
21
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
field: 1002022
1
2
22
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
field: 1002023
1
2
23
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
field: 1002024
1
2
24
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
field: 1002025
1
2
25
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
field: 1003001
1
3
1
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
field: 1003002
1
3
2
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
field: 1003003
1
3
3
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
field: 1003004
1
3
4
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
field: 1003005
1
3
5
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
field: 1003006
1
3
6
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
field: 1003007
1
3
7
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
field: 1003008
1
3
8
And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
field: 1003009
1
3
9
And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
field: 1003010
1
3
10
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
field: 1003011
1
3
11
And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
field: 1003012
1
3
12
And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
field: 1003013
1
3
13
And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
field: 1003014
1
3
14
And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
field: 1003015
1
3
15
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
field: 1003016
1
3
16
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
field: 1003017
1
3
17
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
field: 1003018
1
3
18
Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
field: 1003019
1
3
19
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
field: 1003020
1
3
20
And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
field: 1003021
1
3
21
Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
field: 1003022
1
3
22
And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
field: 1003023
1
3
23
Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
field: 1003024
1
3
24
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
field: 1004001
1

1
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
field: 1004002
1
4
2
And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
field: 1004003
1
4
3
And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
field: 1004004
1
4
4
And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
field: 1004005
1
4
5
But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
field: 1004006
1
4
6
And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
field: 1004007
1
4
7
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
field: 1004008
1
4
8
And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
field: 1004009
1
4
9
And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
field: 1004010
1
4
10
And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
field: 1004011
1
4
11
And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
field: 1004012
1
4
12
When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
field: 1004013
1
4
13
And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
field: 1004014
1
4
14
Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
field: 1004015
1
4
15
And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
field: 1004016
1
4
16
And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
field: 1004017
1
4
17
And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
field: 1004018
1
4
18
And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
field: 1004019
1
4
19
And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
field: 1004020
1
4
20
And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
field: 1004021
1
4
21
And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
field: 1004022
1
4
22
And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
field: 1004023
1
4
23
And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
field: 1004024
1
4
24
If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
field: 1004025
1
4
25
And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
field: 1004026
1
4
26
And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.

This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
field: 1005002
1
5
2
Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
field: 1005003
1

3
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:

And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
field: 1005024

24
And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
field: 1005025

And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech.

28
And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:

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.

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
field: 1006002
1
6
2
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
field: 1006003

3
And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
field: 1006004
1

4
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
field: 1006005
1
6
5
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
field: 1006006
1
6
6
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
field: 1006007
1

7
And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

1

9
These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
field: 1006010
1
6
10
And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
field: 1006011

The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
field: 1006013

And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
field: 1006015
1

15
And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
field: 1006016
1
6
16
A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
field: 1006017

17
And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
field: 1006018

18
But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
field: 1006019
1

19
And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
field: 1006020
1

20
Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
field: 1006021

21
And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.

Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
field: 1007001

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.
field: 1007002
1

2
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
field: 1007003
1
7
3
Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
field: 1007004

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.
field: 1007005
1

5
And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
field: 1007006
1
7
6
And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
field: 1007007
1
7
7
And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
field: 1007008
1
7
8
Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
field: 1007009
1
7
9
There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
field: 1007010
1
7
10
And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
field: 1007011
1
7
11
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
field: 1007012
1
7
12
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
field: 1007013
1
7
13
In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
field: 1007014
1
7
14
They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
field: 1007015
1
7
15
And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
field: 1007016
1
7
16
And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
field: 1007017
1
7
17
And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
field: 1007018
1
7
18
And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
field: 1007019
1
7
19
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
field: 1007020
1
7
20
Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
field: 1007021
1
7
21
And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
field: 1007022
1
7
22
All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
field: 1007023
1
7
23
And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
field: 1007024
1
7
24
And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
field: 1008001
1
8
1
And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;
field: 1008002
1
8
2
The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
field: 1008003
1
8
3
And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
field: 1008004
1
8
4
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
field: 1008005
1
8
5
And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
field: 1008006
1
8
6
And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
field: 1008007
1
8
7
And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
field: 1008008
1
8
8
Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
field: 1008009
1
8
9
But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
field: 1008010
1
8
10
And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
field: 1008011
1
8
11
And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
field: 1008012
1
8
12
And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
field: 1008013
1
8
13
And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
field: 1008014
1
8
14
And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
field: 1008015
1
8
15
And God spake unto Noah, saying,
field: 1008016
1
8
16
Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
field: 1008017
1
8
17
Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
field: 1008018
1
8
18
And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
field: 1008019
1
8
19
Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
field: 1008020
1
8
20
And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
field: 1008021
1
8
21
And the LORD smelled a sweet savor; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
field: 1008022
1
8
22
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
field: 1009001
1
9
1
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
field: 1009002
1
9
2
And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
field: 1009003
1
9
3
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
field: 1009004
1
9
4
But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
field: 1009005
1
9
5
And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
field: 1009006
1
9
6
Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
field: 1009007
1
9
7
And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
field: 1009008
1
9
8
And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
field: 1009009
1
9
9
And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
field: 1009010
1
9
10
And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
field: 1009011
1
9
11
And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
field: 1009012
1
9
12
And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
field: 1009013
1
9
13
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
field: 1009014
1
9
14
And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
field: 1009015
1
9
15
And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
field: 1009016
1
9
16
And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
field: 1009017
1
9
17
And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
field: 1009018
1
9
18
And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
field: 1009019
1
9
19
These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
field: 1009020
1
9
20
And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
field: 1009021
1
9
21
And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
field: 1009022
1
9
22
And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
field: 1009023
1
9
23
And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
field: 1009024
1
9
24
And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
field: 1009025
1
9
25
And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
field: 1009026
1
9
26
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
field: 1009027
1
9
27
God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
field: 1009028
1
9
28
And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
field: 1009029
1
9
29
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
field: 1010001
1
10
1
Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
field: 1010002
1
10
2
The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
field: 1010003
1
10
3
And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
field: 1010004
1
10
4
And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
field: 1010005
1
10
5
By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
field: 1010006
1
10
6
And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
field: 1010007
1
10
7
And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
field: 1010008
1
10
8
And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
field: 1010009
1
10
9
He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
field: 1010010
1
10
10
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
field: 1010011
1
10
11
Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
field: 1010012
1
10
12
And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
field: 1010013
1
10
13
And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
field: 1010014
1
10
14
And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
field: 1010015
1
10
15
And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth,
field: 1010016
1
10
16
And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
field: 1010017
1
10
17
And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
field: 1010018
1
10
18
And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
field: 1010019
1
10
19
And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
field: 1010020
1
10
20
These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
field: 1010021
1
10
21
Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
field: 1010022
1
10
22
The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
field: 1010023
1
10
23
And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
field: 1010024
1
10
24
And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
field: 1010025
1
10
25
And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
field: 1010026
1
10
26
And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
field: 1010027
1
10
27
And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
field: 1010028
1
10
28
And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
field: 1010029
1
10
29
And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
field: 1010030
1
10
30
And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.
field: 1010031
1
10
31
These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
field: 1010032
1
10
32
These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
field: 1011001
1
11
1
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
field: 1011002
1
11
2
And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
field: 1011003
1
11
3
And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
field: 1011004
1
11
4
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
field: 1011005
1
11
5
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
field: 1011006
1
11
6
And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
field: 1011007
1
11
7
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
field: 1011008
1
11
8
So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
field: 1011009
1
11
9
Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
field: 1011010
1
11
10
These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
field: 1011011
1
11
11
And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
field: 1011012
1
11
12
And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
field: 1011013
1
11
13
And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
field: 1011014
1
11
14
And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
field: 1011015
1
11
15
And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
field: 1011016
1
11
16
And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
field: 1011017
1
11
17
And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
field: 1011018
1
11
18
And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
field: 1011019
1
11
19
And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
field: 1011020
1
11
20
And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
field: 1011021
1
11
21
And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
field: 1011022
1
11
22
And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
field: 1011023
1
11
23
And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
field: 1011024
1
11
24
And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
field: 1011025
1
11
25
And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
field: 1011026
1
11
26
And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
field: 1011027
1
11
27
Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
field: 1011028
1
11
28
And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
field: 1011029
1
11
29
And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
field: 1011030
1
11
30
But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
field: 1011031
1
11
31
And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
field: 1011032
1
11
32
And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.

Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee:
field: 1012002
1
12
2
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
field: 1012003
1
12
3
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
field: 1012004
1
12
4
So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
field: 1012005
1
12
5
And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
field: 1012006
1
12
6
And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
field: 1012007
1
12
7
And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
field: 1012008
1
12
8
And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
field: 1012009
1
12
9
And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
field: 1012010
1
12
10
And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
field: 1012011
1
12
11
And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:
field: 1012012
1
12
12
Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
field: 1012013
1
12
13
Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
field: 1012014
1
12
14
And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
field: 1012015
1
12
15
The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
field: 1012016
1
12
16
And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
field: 1012017
1
12
17
And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
field: 1012018
1
12
18
And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
field: 1012019
1
12
19
Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
field: 1012020
1
12
20
And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
field: 1013001
1
13
1
And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
field: 1013002
1
13
2
And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
field: 1013003
1
13
3
And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
field: 1013004
1
13
4
Unto the place of the altar, which he had make there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
field: 1013005
1
13
5
And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
field: 1013006
1
13
6
And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
field: 1013007
1
13
7
And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
field: 1013008
1
13
8
And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
field: 1013009
1
13
9
Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
field: 1013010
1
13
10
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
field: 1013011
1
13
11
Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
field: 1013012
1
13
12
Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
field: 1013013
1
13
13
But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
field: 1013014
1
13
14
And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
field: 1013015
1
13
15
For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
field: 1013016
1
13
16
And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
field: 1013017
1
13
17
Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
field: 1013018
1
13
18
Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
field: 1014001
1
14
1
And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
field: 1014002
1
14
2
That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
field: 1014003
1
14
3
All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
field: 1014004
1
14
4
Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
field: 1014005
1
14
5
And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emins in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
field: 1014006
1
14
6
And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness.
field: 1014007
1
14
7
And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezontamar.
field: 1014008
1
14
8
And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;
field: 1014009
1
14
9
With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.
field: 1014010
1
14
10
And the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
field: 1014011
1
14
11
And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
field: 1014012
1
14
12
And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
field: 1014013
1
14
13
And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.
field: 1014014
1
14
14
And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.
field: 1014015
1
14
15
And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
field: 1014016
1
14
16
And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
field: 1014017
1
14
17
And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.
field: 1014018
1
14
18
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
field: 1014019
1
14
19
And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
field: 1014020
1
14
20
And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
field: 1014021
1
14
21
And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.
field: 1014022
1
14
22
And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,
field: 1014023
1
14
23
That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
field: 1014024
1
14
24
Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
field: 1015001
1
15
1
After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
field: 1015002
1
15
2
And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
field: 1015003
1
15
3
And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
field: 1015004
1
15
4
And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
field: 1015005
1
15
5
And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
field: 1015006
1
15
6
And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
field: 1015007
1
15
7
And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
field: 1015008
1
15
8
And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
field: 1015009
1
15
9
And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
field: 1015010
1
15
10
And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
field: 1015011
1
15
11
And when the fowls came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
field: 1015012
1
15
12
And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
field: 1015013
1
15
13
And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
field: 1015014
1
15
14
And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
field: 1015015
1
15
15
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
field: 1015016
1
15
16
But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
field: 1015017
1
15
17
And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
field: 1015018
1
15
18
In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
field: 1015019
1
15
19
The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
field: 1015020
1
15
20
And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaim,
field: 1015021
1
15
21
And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
field: 1016001
1
16
1
Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
field: 1016002
1
16
2
And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
field: 1016003
1
16
3
And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
field: 1016004
1
16
4
And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
field: 1016005
1
16
5
And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.
field: 1016006
1
16
6
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.
field: 1016007
1
16
7
And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
field: 1016008
1
16
8
And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
field: 1016009
1
16
9
And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
field: 1016010
1
16
10
And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
field: 1016011
1
16
11
And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
field: 1016012
1
16
12
And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
field: 1016013
1
16
13
And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
field: 1016014
1
16
14
Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
field: 1016015
1
16
15
And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
field: 1016016
1
16
16
And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
field: 1017001
1
17
1
And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
field: 1017002
1
17
2
And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
field: 1017003
1
17
3
And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
field: 1017004
1
17
4
As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
field: 1017005
1
17
5
Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
field: 1017006
1
17
6
And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
field: 1017007
1
17
7
And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
field: 1017008
1
17
8
And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
field: 1017009
1
17
9
And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
field: 1017010
1
17
10
This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
field: 1017011
1
17
11
And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
field: 1017012
1
17
12
And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
field: 1017013
1
17
13
He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
field: 1017014
1
17
14
And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.
field: 1017015
1
17
15
And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
field: 1017016
1
17
16
And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.
field: 1017017
1
17
17
Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
field: 1017018
1
17
18
And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
field: 1017019
1
17
19
And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
field: 1017020
1
17
20
And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
field: 1017021
1
17
21
But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
field: 1017022
1
17
22
And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
field: 1017023
1
17
23
And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.
field: 1017024
1
17
24
And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
field: 1017025
1
17
25
And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
field: 1017026
1
17
26
In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.
field: 1017027
1
17
27
And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
field: 1018001
1
18
1
And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
field: 1018002
1
18
2
And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
field: 1018003
1
18
3
And said, My LORD, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
field: 1018004
1
18
4
Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
field: 1018005
1
18
5
And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
field: 1018006
1
18
6
And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.
field: 1018007
1
18
7
And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
field: 1018008
1
18
8
And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.
field: 1018009
1
18
9
And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
field: 1018010
1
18
10
And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.
field: 1018011
1
18
11
Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
field: 1018012
1
18
12
Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
field: 1018013
1

13
And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
field: 1018014
1
18
14
Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
field: 1018015
1
18
15
Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
field: 1018016
1
18
16
And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
field: 1018017
1
18
17
And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
field: 1018018
1
18
18
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
field: 1018019
1
18
19
For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
field: 1018020
1
18
20
And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
field: 1018021
1
18
21
I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
field: 1018022
1
18
22
And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
field: 1018023
1
18
23
And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
field: 1018024
1
18
24
Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
field: 1018025
1
18
25
That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
field: 1018026
1
18
26
And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
field: 1018027
1
18
27
And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes:
field: 1018028
1
18
28
Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
field: 1018029
1
18
29
And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.
field: 1018030
1
18
30
And he said unto him, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
field: 1018031
1
18
31
And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.
field: 1018032
1
18
32
And he said, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.
field: 1018033
1
18
33
And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
field: 1019001
1
19
1
And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
field: 1019002
1
19
2
And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
field: 1019003
1
19
3
And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
field: 1019004
1
19
4
But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
field: 1019005
1
19
5
And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
field: 1019006
1
19
6
And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
field: 1019007
1
19
7
And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
field: 1019008
1
19
8
Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
field: 1019009
1
19
9
And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
field: 1019010
1
19
10
But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
field: 1019011
1
19
11
And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
field: 1019012
1
19
12
And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
field: 1019013
1
19
13
For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
field: 1019014
1
19
14
And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
field: 1019015
1
19
15
And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
field: 1019016
1
19
16
And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
field: 1019017
1
19
17
And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
field: 1019018
1
19
18
And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my LORD:
field: 1019019
1
19
19
Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast showed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
field: 1019020
1
19
20
Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
field: 1019021
1
19
21
And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
field: 1019022
1
19
22
Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
field: 1019023
1
19
23
The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
field: 1019024
1
19
24
Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
field: 1019025
1
19
25
And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
field: 1019026
1
19
26
But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
field: 1019027
1
19
27
And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:
field: 1019028
1
19
28
And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
field: 1019029
1
19
29
And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
field: 1019030
1
19
30
And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
field: 1019031
1
19
31
And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
field: 1019032
1
19
32
Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
field: 1019033
1
19
33
And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
field: 1019034
1
19
34
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
field: 1019035
1
19
35
And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
field: 1019036
1
19
36
Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
field: 1019037
1
19
37
And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
field: 1019038
1
19
38
And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
field: 1020001
1
20
1
And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
field: 1020002
1
20
2
And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
field: 1020003
1
20
3
But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.
field: 1020004
1
20
4
But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
field: 1020005
1
20
5
Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.
field: 1020006
1
20
6
And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
field: 1020007
1
20
7
Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
field: 1020008
1
20
8
Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
field: 1020009
1
20
9
Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
field: 1020010
1
20
10
And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
field: 1020011
1
20
11
And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.
field: 1020012
1
20
12
And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
field: 1020013
1
20
13
And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt show unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
field: 1020014
1
20
14
And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
field: 1020015
1
20
15
And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
field: 1020016
1
20
16
And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
field: 1020017
1
20
17
So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
field: 1020018
1
20
18
For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
field: 1021001
1
21
1
And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
field: 1021002
1
21
2
For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
field: 1021003
1
21
3
And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
field: 1021004
1
21
4
And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
field: 1021005
1
21
5
And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
field: 1021006
1
21
6
And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.
field: 1021007
1
21
7
And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.
field: 1021008
1
21
8
And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
field: 1021009
1
21
9
And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
field: 1021010
1
21
10
Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
field: 1021011
1
21
11
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
field: 1021012
1
21
12
And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
field: 1021013
1
21
13
And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
field: 1021014
1
21
14
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
field: 1021015
1
21
15
And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
field: 1021016
1
21
16
And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.
field: 1021017
1
21
17
And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
field: 1021018
1
21
18
Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
field: 1021019
1
21
19
And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
field: 1021020
1
21
20
And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
field: 1021021
1
21
21
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
field: 1021022
1
21
22
And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:
field: 1021023
1
21
23
Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
field: 1021024
1
21
24
And Abraham said, I will swear.
field: 1021025
1
21
25
And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
field: 1021026
1
21
26
And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing; neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.
field: 1021027
1
21
27
And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
field: 1021028
1
21
28
And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
field: 1021029
1
21
29
And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
field: 1021030
1
21
30
And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
field: 1021031
1
21
31
Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them.
field: 1021032
1
21
32
Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
field: 1021033
1
21
33
And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
field: 1021034
1
21
34
And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
field: 1022001
1
22
1
And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
field: 1022002
1
22
2
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
field: 1022003
1
22
3
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
field: 1022004
1
22
4
Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
field: 1022005
1
22
5
And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
field: 1022006
1
22
6
And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
field: 1022007
1
22
7
And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
field: 1022008
1
22
8
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
field: 1022009
1
22
9
And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
field: 1022010
1
22
10
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
field: 1022011
1
22
11
And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
field: 1022012
1
22
12
And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
field: 1022013
1
22
13
And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
field: 1022014
1
22
14
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
field: 1022015
1
22
15
And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
field: 1022016
1
22
16
And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
field: 1022017
1
22
17
That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
field: 1022018
1
22
18
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
field: 1022019
1
22
19
So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
field: 1022020
1
22
20
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;
field: 1022021
1
22
21
Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
field: 1022022
1
22
22
And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
field: 1022023
1
22
23
And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
field: 1022024
1
22
24
And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
field: 1023001
1
23
1
And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.
field: 1023002

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.
field: 1023003
1
23
3
And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying,
field: 1023004
1
23
4
I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
field: 1023005
1
23
5
And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,
field: 1023006
1
23
6
Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.
field: 1023007
1
23
7
And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.
field: 1023008
1
23
8
And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
field: 1023009
1
23
9
That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.
field: 1023010
1
23
10
And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,
field: 1023011
1
23
11
Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead.
field: 1023012
1
23
12
And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land.
field: 1023013
1
23
13
And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.
field: 1023014
1
23
14
And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,
field: 1023015
1
23
15
My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
field: 1023016
1
23
16
And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
field: 1023017
1
23
17
And the field of Ephron which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure
field: 1023018
1
23
18
Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.
field: 1023019
1
23
19
And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
field: 1023020
1
23
20
And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.
field: 1024001
1
24
1
And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
field: 1024002
1
24
2
And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
field: 1024003
1
24
3
And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
field: 1024004
1
24
4
But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
field: 1024005
1
24
5
And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
field: 1024006
1
24
6
And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
field: 1024007
1
24
7
The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
field: 1024008
1
24
8
And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
field: 1024009
1
24
9
And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
field: 1024010
1
24
10
And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
field: 1024011
1
24
11
And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.
field: 1024012
1
24
12
And he said O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and show kindness unto my master Abraham.
field: 1024013
1
24
13
Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
field: 1024014
1
24
14
And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast showed kindness unto my master.
field: 1024015
1
24
15
And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
field: 1024016
1
24
16
And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
field: 1024017
1
24
17
And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.
field: 1024018
1
24
18
And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
field: 1024019
1
24
19
And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
field: 1024020
1
24
20
And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
field: 1024021
1
24
21
And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
field: 1024022
1
24
22
And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;
field: 1024023
1
24
23
And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?
field: 1024024
1
24
24
And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
field: 1024025
1
24
25
She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
field: 1024026
1
24
26
And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
field: 1024027
1
24
27
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.
field: 1024028
1
24
28
And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.
field: 1024029
1
24
29
And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.
field: 1024030
1
24
30
And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
field: 1024031
1
24
31
And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
field: 1024032
1
24
32
And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.
field: 1024033
1
24
33
And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
field: 1024034
1
24
34
And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
field: 1024035
1
24
35
And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
field: 1024036
1
24
36
And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
field: 1024037
1
24
37
And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
field: 1024038
1
24
38
But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
field: 1024039
1
24
39
And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
field: 1024040
1
24
40
And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:
field: 1024041
1
24
41
Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
field: 1024042
1
24
42
And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
field: 1024043
1
24
43
Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
field: 1024044
1
24
44
And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master's son.
field: 1024045
1
24
45
And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
field: 1024046
1
24
46
And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
field: 1024047
1
24
47
And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
field: 1024048
1
24
48
And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.
field: 1024049
1
24
49
And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.
field: 1024050
1
24
50
Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
field: 1024051
1
24
51
Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
field: 1024052
1
24
52
And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.
field: 1024053
1
24
53
And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.
field: 1024054
1
24
54
And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.
field: 1024055
1
24
55
And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
field: 1024056
1
24
56
And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
field: 1024057
1
24
57
And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.
field: 1024058
1
24
58
And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
field: 1024059
1
24
59
And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
field: 1024060
1
24
60
And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
field: 1024061
1
24
61
And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
field: 1024062
1
24
62
And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country.
field: 1024063
1
24
63
And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.
field: 1024064
1
24
64
And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
field: 1024065
1
24
65
For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.
field: 1024066
1
24
66
And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
field: 1024067
1
24
67
And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
field: 1025001
1
25
1
Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
field: 1025002
1
25
2
And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
field: 1025003
1
25
3
And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
field: 1025004
1
25
4
And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
field: 1025005
1
25
5
And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
field: 1025006
1
25
6
But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
field: 1025007
1
25
7
And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
field: 1025008
1
25
8
Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
field: 1025009
1
25
9
And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
field: 1025010
1
25
10
The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
field: 1025011
1
25
11
And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
field: 1025012
1
25
12
Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
field: 1025013
1
25
13
And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
field: 1025014
1
25
14
And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
field: 1025015
1
25
15
Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
field: 1025016
1
25
16
These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
field: 1025017
1
25
17
And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people.
field: 1025018
1
25
18
And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.
field: 1025019
1
25
19
And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:
field: 1025020
1
25
20
And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
field: 1025021
1
25
21
And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
field: 1025022
1
25
22
And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the LORD.
field: 1025023
1
25
23
And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
field: 1025024
1
25
24
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
field: 1025025
1
25
25
And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
field: 1025026
1
25
26
And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
field: 1025027
1
25
27
And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
field: 1025028
1
25
28
And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
field: 1025029
1
25
29
And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
field: 1025030
1
25
30
And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
field: 1025031
1
25
31
And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
field: 1025032
1
25
32
And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
field: 1025033
1
25
33
And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
field: 1025034
1
25
34
Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
field: 1026001
1
26
1
And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
field: 1026002
1
26
2
And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
field: 1026003
1
26
3
Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
field: 1026004
1
26
4
And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
field: 1026005
1
26
5
Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
field: 1026006
1
26
6
And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
field: 1026007
1
26
7
And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
field: 1026008
1
26
8
And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
field: 1026009
1
26
9
And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
field: 1026010
1
26
10
And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
field: 1026011
1
26
11
And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
field: 1026012
1
26
12
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
field: 1026013
1
26
13
And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
field: 1026014
1
26
14
For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
field: 1026015
1
26
15
For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
field: 1026016
1
26
16
And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
field: 1026017
1
26
17
And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
field: 1026018
1

18
And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
field: 1026019
1
26
19
And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
field: 1026020
1
26
20
And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
field: 1026021
1
26
21
And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
field: 1026022
1
26
22
And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
field: 1026023
1
26
23
And he went up from thence to Beersheba.
field: 1026024
1
26
24
And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
field: 1026025
1
26
25
And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well.
field: 1026026
1
26
26
Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
field: 1026027
1
26
27
And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
field: 1026028
1
26
28
And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;
field: 1026029
1
26
29
That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the LORD.
field: 1026030
1
26
30
And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
field: 1026031
1
26
31
And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
field: 1026032
1
26
32
And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water.
field: 1026033
1
26
33
And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day.
field: 1026034
1
26
34
And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
field: 1026035
1
26
35
Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
field: 1027001
1
27
1
And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.
field: 1027002
1
27
2
And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
field: 1027003
1
27
3
Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
field: 1027004
1
27
4
And make me savory meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
field: 1027005
1
27
5
And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
field: 1027006
1
27
6
And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
field: 1027007
1
27
7
Bring me venison, and make me savory meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.
field: 1027008
1
27
8
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
field: 1027009
1
27
9
Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savory meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
field: 1027010
1
27
10
And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
field: 1027011
1
27
11
And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
field: 1027012
1
27
12
My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
field: 1027013
1
27
13
And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
field: 1027014
1
27
14
And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savory meat, such as his father loved.
field: 1027015
1
27
15
And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
field: 1027016
1
27
16
And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
field: 1027017
1
27
17
And she gave the savory meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
field: 1027018
1
27
18
And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?
field: 1027019
1
27
19
And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy first born; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
field: 1027020
1
27
20
And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me.
field: 1027021
1
27
21
And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.
field: 1027022
1
27
22
And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
field: 1027023
1
27
23
And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
field: 1027024
1
27
24
And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
field: 1027025
1
27
25
And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine and he drank.
field: 1027026
1
27
26
And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
field: 1027027
1
27
27
And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
field: 1027028
1
27
28
Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
field: 1027029
1
27
29
Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
field: 1027030
1
27
30
And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
field: 1027031
1
27
31
And he also had made savory meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.
field: 1027032
1
27
32
And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
field: 1027033
1
27
33
And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed.
field: 1027034
1
27
34
And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.
field: 1027035
1
27
35
And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.
field: 1027036
1
27
36
And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
field: 1027037
1
27
37
And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
field: 1027038
1
27
38
And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
field: 1027039
1
27
39
And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
field: 1027040
1
27
40
And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
field: 1027041
1
27
41
And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
field: 1027042
1
27
42
And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee.
field: 1027043
1
27
43
Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
field: 1027044
1
27
44
And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away;
field: 1027045
1
27
45
Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
field: 1027046
1
27
46
And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
field: 1028001
1
28
1
And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
field: 1028002
1
28
2
Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.
field: 1028003
1
28
3
And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
field: 1028004
1
28
4
And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
field: 1028005
1
28
5
And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
field: 1028006
1
28
6
When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
field: 1028007
1
28
7
And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram;
field: 1028008
1
28
8
And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
field: 1028009
1
28
9
Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
field: 1028010
1
28
10
And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
field: 1028011
1
28
11
And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
field: 1028012
1
28
12
And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
field: 1028013
1
28
13
And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
field: 1028014
1
28
14
And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
field: 1028015
1
28
15
And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
field: 1028016
1
28
16
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.
field: 1028017
1
28
17
And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
field: 1028018
1
28
18
And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
field: 1028019
1
28
19
And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.
field: 1028020
1
28
20
And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
field: 1028021
1
28
21
So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:
field: 1028022
1
28
22
And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
field: 1029001
1
29
1
Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
field: 1029002
1
29
2
And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well's mouth.
field: 1029003
1
29
3
And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in his place.
field: 1029004
1
29
4
And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
field: 1029005
1
29
5
And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
field: 1029006
1
29
6
And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
field: 1029007
1
29
7
And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
field: 1029008
1
29
8
And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.
field: 1029009
1
29
9
And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she kept them.
field: 1029010
1
29
10
And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
field: 1029011
1
29
11
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
field: 1029012
1
29
12
And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.
field: 1029013
1
29
13
And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
field: 1029014
1
29
14
And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
field: 1029015
1
29
15
And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
field: 1029016
1
29
16
And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
field: 1029017
1
29
17
Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.
field: 1029018
1
29
18
And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
field: 1029019
1
29
19
And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
field: 1029020
1
29
20
And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
field: 1029021
1
29
21
And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
field: 1029022
1
29
22
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
field: 1029023
1
29
23
And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
field: 1029024
1
29
24
And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
field: 1029025
1
29
25
And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
field: 1029026
1
29
26
And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
field: 1029027
1
29
27
Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
field: 1029028
1
29
28
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
field: 1029029
1
29
29
And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
field: 1029030
1
29
30
And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
field: 1029031
1
29
31
And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
field: 1029032
1
29
32
And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
field: 1029033
1
29
33
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.
field: 1029034
1
29
34
And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
field: 1029035
1
29
35
And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.
field: 1030001
1
30
1
And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
field: 1030002
1
30
2
And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
field: 1030003
1
30
3
And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
field: 1030004
1
30
4
And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
field: 1030005
1
30
5
And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
field: 1030006
1
30
6
And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
field: 1030007
1
30
7
And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
field: 1030008
1
30
8
And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
field: 1030009
1
30
9
When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
field: 1030010
1
30
10
And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.
field: 1030011
1
30
11
And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.
field: 1030012
1
30
12
And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.
field: 1030013
1
30
13
And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
field: 1030014
1
30
14
And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.
field: 1030015
1
30
15
And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son's mandrakes.
field: 1030016
1
30
16
And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
field: 1030017
1
30
17
And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.
field: 1030018
1
30
18
And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
field: 1030019
1
30
19
And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
field: 1030020
1
30
20
And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
field: 1030021
1
30
21
And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
field: 1030022
1
30
22
And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
field: 1030023
1
30
23
And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:
field: 1030024
1
30
24
And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.
field: 1030025
1
30
25
And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
field: 1030026
1
30
26
Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.
field: 1030027
1
30
27
And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.
field: 1030028
1
30
28
And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.
field: 1030029
1
30
29
And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me.
field: 1030030
1
30
30
For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
field: 1030031
1
30
31
And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock.
field: 1030032
1
30
32
I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.
field: 1030033
1
30
33
So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.
field: 1030034
1
30
34
And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
field: 1030035
1
30
35
And he removed that day the he goats that were ring-streaked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, 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.
field: 1030036
1
30
36
And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
field: 1030037
1
30
37
And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and pilled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
field: 1030038
1
30
38
And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
field: 1030039
1
30
39
And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted.
field: 1030040
1
30
40
And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ring-streaked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle.
field: 1030041
1
30
41
And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
field: 1030042
1
30
42
But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
field: 1030043
1
30
43
And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
field: 1031001
1
31
1
And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory.
field: 1031002
1
31
2
And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
field: 1031003
1
31
3
And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
field: 1031004
1
31
4
And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
field: 1031005
1
31
5
And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.
field: 1031006
1
31
6
And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
field: 1031007
1
31
7
And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
field: 1031008
1
31
8
If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ring-streaked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ring-streaked.
field: 1031009
1
31
9
Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
field: 1031010
1
31
10
And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled.
field: 1031011
1
31
11
And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
field: 1031012
1
31
12
And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
field: 1031013
1
31
13
I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
field: 1031014
1
31
14
And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
field: 1031015
1
31
15
Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money.
field: 1031016
1
31
16
For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.
field: 1031017
1
31
17
Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;
field: 1031018
1
31
18
And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
field: 1031019
1
31
19
And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.
field: 1031020
1
31
20
And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.
field: 1031021
1
31
21
So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.
field: 1031022
1
31
22
And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
field: 1031023
1
31
23
And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
field: 1031024
1
31
24
And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
field: 1031025
1
31
25
Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.
field: 1031026
1
31
26
And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword?
field: 1031027
1
31
27
Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?
field: 1031028
1
31
28
And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.
field: 1031029
1
31
29
It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
field: 1031030
1
31
30
And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?
field: 1031031
1
31
31
And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me.
field: 1031032
1
31
32
With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.
field: 1031033
1
31
33
And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
field: 1031034
1
31
34
Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.
field: 1031035
1
31
35
And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched but found not the images.
field: 1031036
1
31
36
And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?
field: 1031037
1
31
37
Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.
field: 1031038
1
31
38
This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.
field: 1031039
1
31
39
That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night.
field: 1031040
1
31
40
Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
field: 1031041
1
31
41
Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
field: 1031042
1
31
42
Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.
field: 1031043
1
31
43
And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?
field: 1031044
1
31
44
Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
field: 1031045
1
31
45
And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
field: 1031046
1
31
46
And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap.
field: 1031047
1
31
47
And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.
field: 1031048
1
31
48
And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
field: 1031049
1
31
49
And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
field: 1031050
1
31
50
If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.
field: 1031051
1
31
51
And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee:
field: 1031052
1
31
52
This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.
field: 1031053
1
31
53
The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac.
field: 1031054
1
31
54
Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount.
field: 1031055
1
31
55
And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
field: 1032001
1
32
1
And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
field: 1032002
1
32
2
And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
field: 1032003
1
32
3
And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
field: 1032004
1
32
4
And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:
field: 1032005
1
32
5
And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
field: 1032006
1
32
6
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
field: 1032007
1
32
7
Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
field: 1032008
1
32
8
And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
field: 1032009
1
32
9
And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
field: 1032010
1
32
10
I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast showed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
field: 1032011
1
32
11
Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
field: 1032012
1
32
12
And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
field: 1032013
1
32
13
And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
field: 1032014
1
32
14
Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
field: 1032015
1
32
15
Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
field: 1032016
1
32
16
And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
field: 1032017
1
32
17
And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
field: 1032018
1
32
18
Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
field: 1032019
1
32
19
And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
field: 1032020
1
32
20
And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
field: 1032021
1
32
21
So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
field: 1032022
1
32
22
And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
field: 1032023
1
32
23
And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
field: 1032024
1
32
24
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
field: 1032025
1
32
25
And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
field: 1032026
1
32
26
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
field: 1032027
1
32
27
And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
field: 1032028
1
32
28
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
field: 1032029
1
32
29
And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
field: 1032030
1
32
30
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
field: 1032031
1
32
31
And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
field: 1032032
1
32
32
Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
field: 1033001
1
33
1
And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
field: 1033002
1
33
2
And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
field: 1033003
1
33
3
And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
field: 1033004
1
33
4
And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
field: 1033005
1
33
5
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.
field: 1033006
1
33
6
Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
field: 1033007
1
33
7
And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
field: 1033008
1
33
8
And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
field: 1033009
1
33
9
And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.
field: 1033010
1
33
10
And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.
field: 1033011
1
33
11
Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
field: 1033012
1
33
12
And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
field: 1033013
1
33
13
And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
field: 1033014
1
33
14
Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.
field: 1033015
1
33
15
And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
field: 1033016
1
33
16
So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
field: 1033017
1
33
17
And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
field: 1033018
1
33
18
And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.
field: 1033019
1
33
19
And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of money.
field: 1033020
1
33
20
And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.
field: 1034001
1
34
1
And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
field: 1034002
1
34
2
And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.
field: 1034003
1
34
3
And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
field: 1034004
1
34
4
And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
field: 1034005
1
34
5
And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.
field: 1034006
1
34
6
And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
field: 1034007

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.
field: 1034008
1
34
8
And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.
field: 1034009
1
34
9
And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
field: 1034010
1
34
10
And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
field: 1034011
1
34
11
And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
field: 1034012
1
34
12
Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.
field: 1034013
1
34
13
And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
field: 1034014
1
34
14
And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:
field: 1034015
1
34
15
But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;
field: 1034016
1
34
16
Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
field: 1034017
1
34
17
But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
field: 1034018
1
34
18
And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
field: 1034019
1
34
19
And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honorable than all the house of his father.
field: 1034020
1
34
20
And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
field: 1034021
1
34
21
These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
field: 1034022
1
34
22
Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
field: 1034023
1
34
23
Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.
field: 1034024
1
34
24
And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
field: 1034025
1
34
25
And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.
field: 1034026
1
34
26
And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.
field: 1034027
1
34
27
The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
field: 1034028
1
34
28
They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,
field: 1034029
1
34
29
And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.
field: 1034030
1
34
30
And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
field: 1034031
1
34
31
And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
field: 1035001
1
35
1
And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
field: 1035002
1
35
2
Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:
field: 1035003
1
35
3
And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
field: 1035004
1
35
4
And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
field: 1035005
1
35
5
And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
field: 1035006
1
35
6
So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.
field: 1035007
1
35
7
And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
field: 1035008
1
35
8
But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.
field: 1035009
1
35
9
And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.
field: 1035010
1
35
10
And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
field: 1035011
1
35
11
And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;
field: 1035012
1
35
12
And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
field: 1035013
1
35
13
And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
field: 1035014
1
35
14
And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.
field: 1035015
1
35
15
And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel.
field: 1035016
1
35
16
And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor.
field: 1035017
1
35
17
And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.
field: 1035018
1
35
18
And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.
field: 1035019
1
35
19
And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
field: 1035020
1
35
20
And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.
field: 1035021
1
35
21
And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.
field: 1035022
1
35
22
And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
field: 1035023
1
35
23
The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
field: 1035024
1
35
24
The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
field: 1035025
1
35
25
And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
field: 1035026
1
35
26
And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.
field: 1035027
1
35
27
And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arba, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
field: 1035028
1
35
28
And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.
field: 1035029
1
35
29
And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
field: 1036001
1
36
1
Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.
field: 1036002
1
36
2
Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;
field: 1036003
1
36
3
And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth.
field: 1036004
1
36
4
And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;
field: 1036005
1
36
5
And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan.
field: 1036006
1
36
6
And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob.
field: 1036007
1
36
7
For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle.
field: 1036008
1
36
8
Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.
field: 1036009
1
36
9
And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:
field: 1036010
1
36
10
These are the names of Esau's sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau.
field: 1036011
1
36
11
And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.
field: 1036012
1
36
12
And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau's wife.
field: 1036013
1
36
13
And these are the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife.
field: 1036014
1
36
14
And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah.
field: 1036015
1
36
15
These were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz,
field: 1036016
1
36
16
Duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah.
field: 1036017

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.
field: 1036018

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.
field: 1036019
1
36
19
These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes.
field: 1036020
1
36
20
These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,
field: 1036021
1
36
21
And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.
field: 1036022
1
36
22
And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan's sister was Timna.
field: 1036023
1
36
23
And the children of Shobal were these; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.
field: 1036024
1
36
24
And these are the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and Anah: this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father.
field: 1036025
1
36
25
And the children of Anah were these; Dishon, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah.
field: 1036026
1
36
26
And these are the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran.
field: 1036027
1
36
27
The children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan.
field: 1036028
1
36
28
The children of Dishan are these; Uz, and Aran.
field: 1036029
1
36
29
These are the dukes that came of the Horites; duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah,
field: 1036030
1
36
30
Duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these are the dukes that came of Hori, among their dukes in the land of Seir.
field: 1036031
1
36
31
And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.
field: 1036032
1
36
32
And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his city was Dinhabah.
field: 1036033
1
36
33
And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead.
field: 1036034
1
36
34
And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead.
field: 1036035
1
36
35
And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith.
field: 1036036
1
36
36
And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead.
field: 1036037

And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead.

36
39
And Baalhanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.
field: 1036040
1
36
40
And these are the names of the dukes that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names; duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth,
field: 1036041
1
36
41
Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon,
field: 1036042
1
36
42
Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar,
field: 1036043
1
36
43
Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites.
field: 1037001
1
37
1
And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
field: 1037002
1
37
2
These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
field: 1037003
1
37
3
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.
field: 1037004
1
37
4
And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
field: 1037005
1
37
5
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
field: 1037006
1
37
6
And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
field: 1037007
1
37
7
For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
field: 1037008
1
37
8
And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
field: 1037009
1
37
9
And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
field: 1037010
1
37
10
And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
field: 1037011
1
37
11
And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
field: 1037012
1
37
12
And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
field: 1037013
1
37
13
And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
field: 1037014
1
37
14
And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
field: 1037015
1
37
15
And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
field: 1037016
1
37
16
And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.
field: 1037017
1
37
17
And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
field: 1037018
1
37
18
And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
field: 1037019
1
37
19
And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
field: 1037020
1
37
20
Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
field: 1037021
1
37
21
And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
field: 1037022
1
37
22
And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
field: 1037023
1
37
23
And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colors that was on him;
field: 1037024
1
37
24
And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
field: 1037025
1
37
25
And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
field: 1037026
1
37
26
And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
field: 1037027
1
37
27
Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.
field: 1037028
1
37
28
Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
field: 1037029
1
37
29
And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
field: 1037030
1
37
30
And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?
field: 1037031
1
37
31
And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
field: 1037032
1
37
32
And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no.
field: 1037033
1
37
33
And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
field: 1037034
1
37
34
And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
field: 1037035
1
37
35
And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.
field: 1037036
1
37
36
And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.
field: 1038001
1
38
1
And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
field: 1038002
1
38
2
And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.
field: 1038003
1
38
3
And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.
field: 1038004
1
38
4
And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.
field: 1038005
1
38
5
And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
field: 1038006
1
38
6
And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.
field: 1038007
1
38
7
And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.
field: 1038008
1
38
8
And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.

And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.

And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.

Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
field: 1038012
1
38
12
And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
field: 1038013
1
38
13
And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
field: 1038014
1
38
14
And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
field: 1038015
1
38
15
When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.
field: 1038016
1
38
16
And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?
field: 1038017
1
38
17
And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?
field: 1038018
1
38
18
And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
field: 1038019
1
38
19
And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
field: 1038020
1
38
20
And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand: but he found her not.
field: 1038021
1
38
21
Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place.
field: 1038022
1
38
22
And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place.
field: 1038023
1
38
23
And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
field: 1038024
1
38
24
And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
field: 1038025
1
38
25
When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.
field: 1038026
1
38
26
And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
field: 1038027

38
27
And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.
field: 1038028
1
38
28
And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
field: 1038029
1
38
29
And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez.
field: 1038030
1
38
30
And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.

And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelites, which had brought him down thither.
field: 1039002
1
39
2
And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
field: 1039003
1
39
3
And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
field: 1039004
1
39
4
And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
field: 1039005
1
39
5
And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
field: 1039006
1
39
6
And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favored.
field: 1039007
1
39
7
And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
field: 1039008
1
39
8
But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
field: 1039009
1
39
9
There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
field: 1039010
1
39
10
And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
field: 1039011
1
39
11
And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
field: 1039012
1
39
12
And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
field: 1039013
1
39
13
And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
field: 1039014
1
39
14
That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
field: 1039015
1
39
15
And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.
field: 1039016
1
39
16
And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
field: 1039017
1
39
17
And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:
field: 1039018
1
39
18
And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
field: 1039019
1
39
19
And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
field: 1039020
1
39
20
And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.
field: 1039021
1
39
21
But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
field: 1039022
1
39
22
And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.
field: 1039023
1
39
23
The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.
field: 1040001

1
And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.
field: 1040002
1
40
2
And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
field: 1040003
1
40
3
And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
field: 1040004
1
40
4
And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.
field: 1040005
1
40
5
And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison.
field: 1040006
1
40
6
And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.
field: 1040007
1
40
7
And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?
field: 1040008
1
40
8
And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.
field: 1040009
1
40
9
And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
field: 1040010
1
40
10
And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:
field: 1040011
1
40
11
And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
field: 1040012
1
40
12
And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:
field: 1040013
1
40
13
Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
field: 1040014
1
40
14
But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
field: 1040015
1
40
15
For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
field: 1040016
1
40
16
When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:
field: 1040017
1
40
17
And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
field: 1040018
1
40
18
And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:
field: 1040019
1
40
19
Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
field: 1040020
1
40
20
And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
field: 1040021
1
40
21
And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
field: 1040022
1
40
22
But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
field: 1040023
1
40
23
Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
field: 1041001
1
41
1
And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
field: 1041002
1
41
2
And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favored kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
field: 1041003
1
41
3
And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favored and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.
field: 1041004
1
41
4
And the ill favored and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favored and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
field: 1041005
1
41
5
And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
field: 1041006
1
41
6
And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.
field: 1041007
1
41
7
And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
field: 1041008
1
41
8
And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.
field: 1041009
1
41
9
Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
field: 1041010
1
41
10
Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker:
field: 1041011
1
41
11
And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
field: 1041012
1
41
12
And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
field: 1041013
1
41
13
And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
field: 1041014
1
41
14
Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
field: 1041015
1
41
15
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
field: 1041016
1
41
16
And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
field: 1041017
1
41
17
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
field: 1041018
1
41
18
And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favored; and they fed in a meadow:
field: 1041019
1
41
19
And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favored and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
field: 1041020
1
41
20
And the lean and the ill favored kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
field: 1041021
1
41
21
And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
field: 1041022
1
41
22
And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:
field: 1041023
1
41
23
And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
field: 1041024
1
41
24
And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
field: 1041025
1
41
25
And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath showed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
field: 1041026
1
41
26
The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
field: 1041027
1
41
27
And the seven thin and ill favored kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
field: 1041028
1
41
28
This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he showeth unto Pharaoh.
field: 1041029
1
41
29
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
field: 1041030
1
41
30
And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
field: 1041031
1
41
31
And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
field: 1041032
1
41
32
And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
field: 1041033
1
41
33
Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
field: 1041034
1
41
34
Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
field: 1041035
1
41
35
And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
field: 1041036
1
41
36
And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
field: 1041037
1
41
37
And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
field: 1041038
1
41
38
And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
field: 1041039
1
41
39
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath showed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
field: 1041040
1
41
40
Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
field: 1041041
1
41
41
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
field: 1041042
1
41
42
And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
field: 1041043
1
41
43
And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
field: 1041044
1
41
44
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
field: 1041045
1
41
45
And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
field: 1041046
1
41
46
And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
field: 1041047
1
41
47
And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
field: 1041048
1
41
48
And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.
field: 1041049
1
41
49
And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.
field: 1041050
1
41
50
And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
field: 1041051
1
41
51
And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
field: 1041052
1
41
52
And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
field: 1041053
1
41
53
And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
field: 1041054
1
41
54
And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
field: 1041055
1
41
55
And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.
field: 1041056
1
41
56
And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
field: 1041057
1
41
57
And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.
field: 1042001
1
42
1
Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
field: 1042002
1
42
2
And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.
field: 1042003
1
42
3
And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
field: 1042004
1
42
4
But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
field: 1042005
1
42
5
And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
field: 1042006
1
42
6
And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
field: 1042007
1
42
7
And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
field: 1042008
1
42
8
And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
field: 1042009
1
42
9
And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
field: 1042010
1
42
10
And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.
field: 1042011
1
42
11
We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.
field: 1042012
1
42
12
And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
field: 1042013
1
42
13
And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
field: 1042014

And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:
field: 1042015
1
42
15
Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
field: 1042016
1
42
16
Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.
field: 1042017
1
42
17
And he put them all together into ward three days.
field: 1042018
1
42
18
And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:
field: 1042019
1
42
19
If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:
field: 1042020
1
42
20
But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
field: 1042021
1
42
21
And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.
field: 1042022
1
42
22
And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required.
field: 1042023
1
42
23
And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.
field: 1042024
1
42
24
And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.
field: 1042025
1
42
25
Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.
field: 1042026
1
42
26
And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.
field: 1042027
1
42
27
And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth.
field: 1042028
1
42
28
And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?
field: 1042029
1
42
29
And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
field: 1042030
1
42
30
The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.
field: 1042031
1
42
31
And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:
field: 1042032
1
42
32
We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
field: 1042033
1
42
33
And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:
field: 1042034
1
42
34
And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffic in the land.
field: 1042035
1
42
35
And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
field: 1042036
1
42
36
And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.
field: 1042037
1
42
37
And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
field: 1042038
1
42
38
And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
field: 1043001
1
43
1
And the famine was sore in the land.
field: 1043002
1
43
2
And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food.
field: 1043003
1
43
3
And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
field: 1043004
1
43
4
If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:
field: 1043005
1
43
5
But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
field: 1043006
1
43
6
And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
field: 1043007
1
43
7
And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
field: 1043008
1
43
8
And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones.
field: 1043009
1
43
9
I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:
field: 1043010
1
43
10
For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.
field: 1043011
1
43
11
And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:
field: 1043012
1
43
12
And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight:
field: 1043013
1
43
13
Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:
field: 1043014
1
43
14
And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.
field: 1043015
1
43
15
And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
field: 1043016
1
43
16
And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.
field: 1043017
1
43
17
And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
field: 1043018
1
43
18
And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.
field: 1043019
1
43
19
And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,
field: 1043020
1
43
20
And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:
field: 1043021
1
43
21
And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.
field: 1043022
1
43
22
And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
field: 1043023
1
43
23
And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.
field: 1043024
1
43
24
And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.
field: 1043025
1
43
25
And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
field: 1043026
1
43
26
And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
field: 1043027
1
43
27
And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?
field: 1043028
1
43
28
And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
field: 1043029
1
43
29
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.
field: 1043030
1
43
30
And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.
field: 1043031
1
43
31
And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
field: 1043032
1
43
32
And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
field: 1043033
1
43
33
And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marveled one at another.
field: 1043034
1
43
34
And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.
field: 1044001
1
44
1
And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth.
field: 1044002
1
44
2
And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
field: 1044003
1
44
3
As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
field: 1044004
1
44
4
And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
field: 1044005
1
44
5
Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
field: 1044006
1
44
6
And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
field: 1044007
1
44
7
And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
field: 1044008
1
44
8
Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?
field: 1044009
1
44
9
With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
field: 1044010
1
44
10
And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
field: 1044011
1
44
11
Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
field: 1044012
1
44
12
And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
field: 1044013
1
44
13
Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
field: 1044014
1
44
14
And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
field: 1044015
1
44
15
And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
field: 1044016
1
44
16
And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.
field: 1044017
1
44
17
And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
field: 1044018
1
44
18
Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
field: 1044019
1
44
19
My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
field: 1044020
1
44
20
And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
field: 1044021
1
44
21
And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
field: 1044022
1
44
22
And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
field: 1044023
1
44
23
And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
field: 1044024
1
44
24
And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
field: 1044025
1
44
25
And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
field: 1044026
1
44
26
And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us.
field: 1044027
1
44
27
And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
field: 1044028
1
44
28
And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
field: 1044029
1
44
29
And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
field: 1044030
1
44
30
Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life;
field: 1044031
1
44
31
It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
field: 1044032
1
44
32
For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
field: 1044033
1
44
33
Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
field: 1044034
1
44
34
For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.
field: 1045001
1
45
1
Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
field: 1045002
1
45
2
And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
field: 1045003
1
45
3
And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
field: 1045004
1
45
4
And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
field: 1045005
1
45
5
Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
field: 1045006
1
45
6
For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.
field: 1045007
1
45
7
And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
field: 1045008
1
45
8
So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
field: 1045009
1
45
9
Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
field: 1045010
1
45
10
And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:
field: 1045011
1
45
11
And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.
field: 1045012
1
45
12
And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
field: 1045013
1
45
13
And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.
field: 1045014
1
45
14
And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
field: 1045015
1
45
15
Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
field: 1045016
1
45
16
And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
field: 1045017
1
45
17
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
field: 1045018
1
45
18
And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
field: 1045019
1
45
19
Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
field: 1045020
1
45
20
Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.
field: 1045021
1
45
21
And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
field: 1045022
1
45
22
To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
field: 1045023
1
45
23
And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.
field: 1045024
1
45
24
So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
field: 1045025
1
45
25
And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,
field: 1045026
1
45
26
And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not.
field: 1045027
1
45
27
And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
field: 1045028
1
45
28
And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
field: 1046001
1
46
1
And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
field: 1046002
1
46
2
And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
field: 1046003
1
46
3
And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:
field: 1046004
1
46
4
I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.
field: 1046005
1
46
5
And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
field: 1046006
1
46
6
And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:
field: 1046007
1
46
7
His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
field: 1046008
1
46
8
And these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.
field: 1046009
1
46
9
And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.
field: 1046010
1
46
10
And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.
field: 1046011
1
46
11
And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
field: 1046012
1
46
12
And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.
field: 1046013
1
46
13
And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.
field: 1046014
1
46
14
And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
field: 1046015
1
46
15
These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padanaram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three.
field: 1046016
1
46
16
And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.
field: 1046017
1

These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls.

19
The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.
field: 1046020

46
20
And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
field: 1046021
1
46
21
And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.
field: 1046022
1
46
22
These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen.
field: 1046023
1
46
23
And the sons of Dan; Hushim.
field: 1046024

24
And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.
field: 1046025
1
46
25
These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven.
field: 1046026
1
46
26
All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six;
field: 1046027
1
46
27
And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.
field: 1046028

46
28
And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
field: 1046029
1
46
29
And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
field: 1046030
1
46
30
And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive.
field: 1046031
1
46
31
And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house, I will go up, and show Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father's house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
field: 1046032
1
46
32
And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
field: 1046033
1
46
33
And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?
field: 1046034
1
46
34
That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
field: 1047001
1
47
1
Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
field: 1047002
1
47
2
And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
field: 1047003
1
47
3
And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.
field: 1047004
1
47
4
They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
field: 1047005
1
47
5
And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
field: 1047006
1
47
6
The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
field: 1047007
1
47
7
And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
field: 1047008
1
47
8
And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
field: 1047009
1
47
9
And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
field: 1047010
1
47
10
And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
field: 1047011
1
47
11
And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
field: 1047012
1
47
12
And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families.
field: 1047013
1
47
13
And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
field: 1047014
1
47
14
And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
field: 1047015
1
47
15
And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.
field: 1047016
1
47
16
And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.
field: 1047017
1
47
17
And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.
field: 1047018
1
47
18
When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:
field: 1047019
1
47
19
Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.
field: 1047020
1
47
20
And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.
field: 1047021
1
47
21
And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
field: 1047022
1
47
22
Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.
field: 1047023
1
47
23
Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
field: 1047024
1
47
24
And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.
field: 1047025
1
47
25
And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
field: 1047026
1
47
26
And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part, except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh's.
field: 1047027
1
47
27
And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.
field: 1047028
1
47
28
And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
field: 1047029
1
47
29
And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:
field: 1047030
1
47
30
But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
field: 1047031
1
47
31
And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.
field: 1048001
1
48
1
And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
field: 1048002
1
48
2
And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
field: 1048003
1
48
3
And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
field: 1048004
1
48
4
And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
field: 1048005
1
48
5
And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
field: 1048006
1
48
6
And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
field: 1048007
1
48
7
And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.
field: 1048008
1
48
8
And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?
field: 1048009
1
48
9
And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.
field: 1048010
1
48
10
Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
field: 1048011
1
48
11
And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath showed me also thy seed.
field: 1048012
1
48
12
And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
field: 1048013
1
48
13
And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.
field: 1048014
1
48
14
And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
field: 1048015
1
48
15
And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
field: 1048016
1
48
16
The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
field: 1048017
1
48
17
And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.
field: 1048018
1
48
18
And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
field: 1048019
1
48
19
And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
field: 1048020
1
48
20
And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
field: 1048021
1
48
21
And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
field: 1048022
1
48
22
Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
field: 1049001

49
1
And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.
field: 1049002
1
49
2
Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.

Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:

Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.

Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
field: 1049006

6
O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honor, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they digged down a wall.
field: 1049007
1
49
7
Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
field: 1049008

Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.

Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?

10
The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.

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:

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.

Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:

And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.

Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.

Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:

23
The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
field: 1049024
1
49
24
But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
field: 1049025
1
49
25
Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
field: 1049026
1
49
26
The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.

Benjamin shall raven as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.

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.
field: 1049029
1
49
29
And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
field: 1049030
1
49
30
In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace.
field: 1049031
1
49
31
There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
field: 1049032
1
49
32
The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth.
field: 1049033

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.
field: 1050001
1
50
1
And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
field: 1050002
1
50
2
And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
field: 1050003
1
50
3
And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days.
field: 1050004
1
50
4
And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
field: 1050005
1
50
5
My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.
field: 1050006
1
50
6
And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.
field: 1050007
1
50
7
And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
field: 1050008
1
50
8
And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
field: 1050009
1
50
9
And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.
field: 1050010
1
50
10
And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
field: 1050011
1
50
11
And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.
field: 1050012
1
50
12
And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
field: 1050013
1
50
13
For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
field: 1050014
1
50
14
And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
field: 1050015
1
50
15
And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.
field: 1050016
1
50
16
And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,
field: 1050017
1
50
17
So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
field: 1050018
1
50
18
And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.
field: 1050019
1
50
19
And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
field: 1050020
1
50
20
But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
field: 1050021
1
50
21
Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
field: 1050022
1
50
22
And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
field: 1050023
1
50
23
And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
field: 1050024
1
50
24
And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
field: 1050025
1
50
25
And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
field: 1050026
1
50
26
So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
field: 2001001

Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.

And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
field: 2001006

And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
field: 2001007

And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.

Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
field: 2001009
2

9
And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
field: 2001010
2
1
10
Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
field: 2001011
2
1
11
Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
field: 2001012
2
1
12
But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
field: 2001013
2
1
13
And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigor:
field: 2001014
2
1
14
And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigor.
field: 2001015
2
1
15
And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
field: 2001016
2
1
16
And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.
field: 2001017
2
1
17
But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
field: 2001018
2
1
18
And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?
field: 2001019
2
1
19
And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.
field: 2001020
2
1
20
Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
field: 2001021
2
1
21
And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
field: 2001022
2
1
22
And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
field: 2002001
2
2
1
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
field: 2002002
2
2
2
And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
field: 2002003
2
2
3
And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
field: 2002004
2
2
4
And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
field: 2002005
2
2
5
And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
field: 2002006
2
2
6
And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.
field: 2002007
2
2
7
Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
field: 2002008
2
2
8
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
field: 2002009
2
2
9
And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the women took the child, and nursed it.
field: 2002010
2
2
10
And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
field: 2002011
2
2
11
And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
field: 2002012
2
2
12
And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
field: 2002013
2
2
13
And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
field: 2002014
2
2
14
And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
field: 2002015
2
2
15
Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
field: 2002016
2
2
16
Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
field: 2002017
2
2
17
And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
field: 2002018
2
2
18
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?
field: 2002019
2
2
19
And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
field: 2002020
2
2
20
And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
field: 2002021
2
2
21
And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
field: 2002022
2
2
22
And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
field: 2002023
2
2
23
And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
field: 2002024
2
2
24
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
field: 2002025
2
2
25
And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.
field: 2003001
2

1
Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
field: 2003002
2
3
2
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
field: 2003003
2
3
3
And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
field: 2003004
2
3
4
And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
field: 2003005
2
3
5
And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
field: 2003006
2
3
6
Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
field: 2003007
2
3
7
And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
field: 2003008
2
3
8
And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
field: 2003009
2
3
9
Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
field: 2003010
2
3
10
Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
field: 2003011
2
3
11
And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
field: 2003012
2
3
12
And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
field: 2003013
2
3
13
And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
field: 2003014
2
3
14
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
field: 2003015
2
3
15
And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
field: 2003016
2
3
16
Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:
field: 2003017
2
3
17
And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.
field: 2003018
2
3
18
And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
field: 2003019
2
3
19
And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
field: 2003020
2
3
20
And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go.
field: 2003021
2
3
21
And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty.
field: 2003022
2
3
22
But every woman shall borrow of her neighbor, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.
field: 2004001

1
And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee.
field: 2004002
2
4
2
And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.
field: 2004003
2
4
3
And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
field: 2004004
2
4
4
And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:
field: 2004005
2
4
5
That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.
field: 2004006
2
4
6
And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.
field: 2004007
2
4
7
And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.
field: 2004008
2
4
8
And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
field: 2004009
2
4
9
And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.
field: 2004010
2
4
10
And Moses said unto the LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
field: 2004011
2
4
11
And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
field: 2004012
2
4
12
Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.
field: 2004013
2
4
13
And he said, O my LORD, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.
field: 2004014
2
4
14
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.
field: 2004015
2
4
15
And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.
field: 2004016
2
4
16
And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.
field: 2004017
2
4
17
And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.
field: 2004018
2
4
18
And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
field: 2004019
2
4
19
And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life.
field: 2004020
2
4
20
And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.
field: 2004021
2
4
21
And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
field: 2004022
2
4
22
And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
field: 2004023
2
4
23
And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.
field: 2004024
2
4
24
And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.
field: 2004025
2
4
25
Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me.
field: 2004026
2
4
26
So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.
field: 2004027
2
4
27
And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.
field: 2004028
2
4
28
And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
field: 2004029
2
4
29
And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:
field: 2004030
2
4
30
And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
field: 2004031
2
4
31
And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
field: 2005001
2
5
1
And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.
field: 2005002
2
5
2
And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.
field: 2005003
2
5
3
And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
field: 2005004
2
5
4
And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.
field: 2005005
2
5
5
And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
field: 2005006
2
5
6
And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
field: 2005007
2
5
7
Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
field: 2005008
2
5
8
And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
field: 2005009
2
5
9
Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labor therein; and let them not regard vain words.
field: 2005010
2
5
10
And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
field: 2005011
2
5
11
Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.
field: 2005012
2
5
12
So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
field: 2005013
2
5
13
And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
field: 2005014
2
5
14
And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as heretofore?
field: 2005015
2
5
15
Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
field: 2005016
2
5
16
There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own people.
field: 2005017
2
5
17
But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD.
field: 2005018
2
5
18
Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
field: 2005019
2
5
19
And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, after it was said, Ye shall not minish ought from your bricks of your daily task.
field: 2005020
2
5
20
And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:
field: 2005021
2
5
21
And they said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savor 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.
field: 2005022
2
5
22
And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, LORD, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?
field: 2005023
2
5
23
For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
field: 2006001
2
6
1
Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
field: 2006002
2
6
2
And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD:
field: 2006003
2
6
3
And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
field: 2006004
2
6
4
And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
field: 2006005
2
6
5
And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
field: 2006006
2
6
6
Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:
field: 2006007
2
6
7
And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
field: 2006008
2
6
8
And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD.
field: 2006009
2
6
9
And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
field: 2006010
2
6
10
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 2006011
2
6
11
Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
field: 2006012
2
6
12
And Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?
field: 2006013
2
6
13
And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

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.
field: 2006027
2

27
These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron.
field: 2006028
2

28
And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt,
field: 2006029
2
6
29
That the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.
field: 2006030

And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
field: 2007001
2

And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
field: 2007002
2
7
2
Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
field: 2007003
2
7
3
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
field: 2007004
2
7
4
But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
field: 2007005
2
7
5
And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
field: 2007006

And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
field: 2007007
2

And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
field: 2007008
2
7
8
And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
field: 2007009
2
7
9
When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Show a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
field: 2007010
2
7
10
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
field: 2007011
2
7
11
Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
field: 2007012
2
7
12
For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
field: 2007013
2
7
13
And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
field: 2007014
2
7
14
And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.
field: 2007015
2
7
15
Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
field: 2007016
2
7
16
And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
field: 2007017
2
7
17
Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
field: 2007018
2
7
18
And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink of the water of the river.
field: 2007019
2
7
19
And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
field: 2007020
2
7
20
And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
field: 2007021
2
7
21
And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
field: 2007022
2
7
22
And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had said.
field: 2007023
2
7
23
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.
field: 2007024
2
7
24
And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
field: 2007025
2
7
25
And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river.
field: 2008001
2

1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
field: 2008002
2
8
2
And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:
field: 2008003
2
8
3
And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:
field: 2008004
2
8
4
And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.
field: 2008005
2
8
5
And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
field: 2008006
2
8
6
And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
field: 2008007
2
8
7
And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
field: 2008008
2
8
8
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD.
field: 2008009
2
8
9
And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I entreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only?
field: 2008010
2
8
10
And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God.
field: 2008011
2
8
11
And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.
field: 2008012
2
8
12
And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
field: 2008013
2
8
13
And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
field: 2008014
2
8
14
And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
field: 2008015
2
8
15
But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
field: 2008016
2
8
16
And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
field: 2008017
2
8
17
And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
field: 2008018
2
8
18
And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
field: 2008019
2
8
19
Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
field: 2008020
2
8
20
And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
field: 2008021
2
8
21
Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.
field: 2008022
2
8
22
And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
field: 2008023
2
8
23
And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.
field: 2008024
2
8
24
And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.
field: 2008025
2
8
25
And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.
field: 2008026
2
8
26
And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
field: 2008027
2
8
27
We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.
field: 2008028
2
8
28
And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: entreat for me.
field: 2008029
2
8
29
And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will entreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.
field: 2008030
2
8
30
And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.
field: 2008031
2
8
31
And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.
field: 2008032
2
8
32
And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.
field: 2009001
2

1
Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
field: 2009002
2
9
2
For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,
field: 2009003
2
9
3
Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.
field: 2009004
2
9
4
And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of Israel.
field: 2009005
2
9
5
And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
field: 2009006
2
9
6
And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
field: 2009007
2
9
7
And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
field: 2009008
2
9
8
And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
field: 2009009
2
9
9
And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
field: 2009010
2
9
10
And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.
field: 2009011
2
9
11
And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
field: 2009012
2
9
12
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
field: 2009013
2
9
13
And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
field: 2009014
2
9
14
For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.
field: 2009015
2
9
15
For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
field: 2009016
2
9
16
And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to show in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
field: 2009017
2
9
17
As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
field: 2009018
2
9
18
Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.
field: 2009019
2
9
19
Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.
field: 2009020
2
9
20
He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
field: 2009021
2
9
21
And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.
field: 2009022
2
9
22
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
field: 2009023
2
9
23
And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
field: 2009024
2
9
24
So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
field: 2009025
2
9
25
And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.
field: 2009026
2
9
26
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
field: 2009027
2
9
27
And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
field: 2009028
2
9
28
Entreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
field: 2009029
2
9
29
And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the LORD's.
field: 2009030
2
9
30
But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God.
field: 2009031
2
9
31
And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
field: 2009032
2
9
32
But the wheat and the rye were not smitten: for they were not grown up.
field: 2009033
2
9
33
And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
field: 2009034
2
9
34
And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
field: 2009035
2
9
35
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
field: 2010001
2
10
1
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might show these my signs before him:
field: 2010002
2
10
2
And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD.
field: 2010003
2
10
3
And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
field: 2010004
2
10
4
Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:
field: 2010005
2
10
5
And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
field: 2010006
2
10
6
And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
field: 2010007
2
10
7
And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
field: 2010008
2
10
8
And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your God: but who are they that shall go?
field: 2010009
2
10
9
And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto the LORD.
field: 2010010
2
10
10
And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you.
field: 2010011
2
10
11
Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
field: 2010012
2
10
12
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.
field: 2010013
2
10
13
And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
field: 2010014
2
10
14
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.
field: 2010015
2
10
15
For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
field: 2010016
2
10
16
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
field: 2010017
2
10
17
Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and entreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only.
field: 2010018
2
10
18
And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.
field: 2010019
2
10
19
And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.
field: 2010020
2
10
20
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.
field: 2010021
2
10
21
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
field: 2010022
2
10
22
And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
field: 2010023
2
10
23
They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
field: 2010024
2
10
24
And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.
field: 2010025
2
10
25
And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.
field: 2010026
2
10
26
Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.
field: 2010027
2
10
27
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
field: 2010028
2
10
28
And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
field: 2010029
2
10
29
And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.
field: 2011001
2
11
1
And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.
field: 2011002
2
11
2
Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver and jewels of gold.

And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.
field: 2011004
2
11
4
And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:
field: 2011005
2
11
5
And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
field: 2011006
2
11
6
And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
field: 2011007
2
11
7
But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
field: 2011008
2
11
8
And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.
field: 2011009
2
11
9
And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
field: 2011010
2
11
10
And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
field: 2012001
2
12
1
And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,
field: 2012002
2
12
2
This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
field: 2012003
2
12
3
Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
field: 2012004
2
12
4
And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
field: 2012005
2
12
5
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
field: 2012006
2
12
6
And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
field: 2012007
2
12
7
And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
field: 2012008
2
12
8
And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
field: 2012009
2
12
9
Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
field: 2012010
2
12
10
And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
field: 2012011
2
12
11
And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.
field: 2012012
2
12
12
For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
field: 2012013
2
12
13
And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
field: 2012014
2
12
14
And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
field: 2012015
2
12
15
Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
field: 2012016
2
12
16
And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
field: 2012017
2
12
17
And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
field: 2012018
2
12
18
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
field: 2012019
2
12
19
Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
field: 2012020
2
12
20
Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
field: 2012021
2
12
21
Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
field: 2012022
2
12
22
And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
field: 2012023
2
12
23
For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
field: 2012024
2
12
24
And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
field: 2012025
2
12
25
And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.
field: 2012026
2
12
26
And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
field: 2012027
2
12
27
That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
field: 2012028
2
12
28
And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
field: 2012029
2
12
29
And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
field: 2012030
2
12
30
And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
field: 2012031
2
12
31
And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.
field: 2012032
2
12
32
Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
field: 2012033
2
12
33
And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.
field: 2012034
2
12
34
And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
field: 2012035
2
12
35
And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
field: 2012036
2
12
36
And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
field: 2012037
2
12
37
And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
field: 2012038
2
12
38
And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
field: 2012039
2
12
39
And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
field: 2012040
2
12
40
Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
field: 2012041
2
12
41
And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
field: 2012042
2
12
42
It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
field: 2012043
2
12
43
And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
field: 2012044
2
12
44
But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
field: 2012045
2
12
45
A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
field: 2012046
2
12
46
In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
field: 2012047
2
12
47
All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
field: 2012048
2
12
48
And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
field: 2012049
2
12
49
One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
field: 2012050
2
12
50
Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
field: 2012051
2
12
51
And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
field: 2013001
2
13
1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 2013002
2
13
2
Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.
field: 2013003
2
13
3
And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
field: 2013004
2
13
4
This day came ye out in the month Abib.
field: 2013005
2
13
5
And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
field: 2013006
2
13
6
Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
field: 2013007
2
13
7
Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
field: 2013008
2
13
8
And thou shalt show thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
field: 2013009
2
13
9
And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.
field: 2013010
2
13
10
Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.
field: 2013011
2
13
11
And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
field: 2013012
2
13
12
That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the LORD's.
field: 2013013
2
13
13
And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.
field: 2013014
2
13
14
And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
field: 2013015
2
13
15
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
field: 2013016
2
13
16
And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.
field: 2013017
2
13
17
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
field: 2013018
2
13
18
But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
field: 2013019
2
13
19
And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
field: 2013020
2
13
20
And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
field: 2013021
2
13
21
And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
field: 2013022
2
13
22
He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
field: 2014001
2
14
1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 2014002
2
14
2
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
field: 2014003
2
14
3
For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
field: 2014004
2
14
4
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honored upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.
field: 2014005
2
14
5
And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
field: 2014006
2
14
6
And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
field: 2014007
2
14
7
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
field: 2014008
2
14
8
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.
field: 2014009
2
14
9
But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
field: 2014010
2
14
10
And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
field: 2014011
2
14
11
And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
field: 2014012
2
14
12
Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
field: 2014013
2
14
13
And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
field: 2014014
2
14
14
The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
field: 2014015
2
14
15
And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
field: 2014016
2
14
16
But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
field: 2014017
2
14
17
And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honor upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
field: 2014018
2
14
18
And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honor upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
field: 2014019
2
14
19
And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
field: 2014020
2
14
20
And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
field: 2014021
2
14
21
And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
field: 2014022
2
14
22
And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
field: 2014023
2
14
23
And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
field: 2014024
2
14
24
And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
field: 2014025
2
14
25
And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
field: 2014026
2
14
26
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
field: 2014027
2
14
27
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
field: 2014028
2
14
28
And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
field: 2014029
2
14
29
But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
field: 2014030
2
14
30
Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
field: 2014031
2
14
31
And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.
field: 2015001
2
15
1
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
field: 2015002
2
15
2
The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
field: 2015003
2
15
3
The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
field: 2015004
2
15
4
Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
field: 2015005
2
15
5
The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
field: 2015006
2
15
6
Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
field: 2015007
2
15
7
And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
field: 2015008
2
15
8
And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
field: 2015009
2
15
9
The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
field: 2015010
2
15
10
Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
field: 2015011
2
15
11
Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
field: 2015012
2
15
12
Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
field: 2015013
2
15
13
Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
field: 2015014
2
15
14
The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
field: 2015015
2
15
15
Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
field: 2015016
2
15
16
Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
field: 2015017
2
15
17
Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which thy hands have established.
field: 2015018
2
15
18
The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
field: 2015019
2
15
19
For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
field: 2015020
2

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.
field: 2015021
2
15
21
And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
field: 2015022

22
So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
field: 2015023
2
15
23
And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
field: 2015024
2
15
24
And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
field: 2015025
2
15
25
And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
field: 2015026
2
15
26
And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
field: 2015027
2
15
27
And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
field: 2016001
2
16
1
And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
field: 2016002
2
16
2
And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
field: 2016003
2
16
3
And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
field: 2016004
2
16
4
Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
field: 2016005
2
16
5
And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
field: 2016006
2
16
6
And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
field: 2016007
2
16
7
And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
field: 2016008
2
16
8
And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.
field: 2016009
2
16
9
And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.
field: 2016010
2
16
10
And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
field: 2016011
2
16
11
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 2016012
2
16
12
I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.
field: 2016013
2
16
13
And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
field: 2016014
2
16
14
And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
field: 2016015
2
16
15
And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
field: 2016016
2
16
16
This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.
field: 2016017
2
16
17
And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
field: 2016018
2
16
18
And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
field: 2016019
2
16
19
And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
field: 2016020
2
16
20
Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
field: 2016021
2
16
21
And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
field: 2016022
2
16
22
And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
field: 2016023
2
16
23
And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
field: 2016024
2
16
24
And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
field: 2016025
2
16
25
And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
field: 2016026
2
16
26
Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
field: 2016027
2
16
27
And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
field: 2016028
2
16
28
And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
field: 2016029
2
16
29
See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
field: 2016030
2
16
30
So the people rested on the seventh day.
field: 2016031
2
16
31
And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
field: 2016032
2
16
32
And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
field: 2016033
2
16
33
And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.
field: 2016034
2
16
34
As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
field: 2016035
2
16
35
And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
field: 2016036
2
16
36
Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
field: 2017001
2
17
1
And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
field: 2017002
2
17
2
Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?
field: 2017003
2
17
3
And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
field: 2017004
2
17
4
And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
field: 2017005
2
17
5
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
field: 2017006
2
17
6
Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
field: 2017007
2
17
7
And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?
field: 2017008
2
17
8
Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
field: 2017009
2
17
9
And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
field: 2017010
2
17
10
So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
field: 2017011
2
17
11
And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
field: 2017012
2
17
12
But Moses hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
field: 2017013
2
17
13
And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
field: 2017014
2
17
14
And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
field: 2017015
2
17
15
And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:
field: 2017016
2
17
16
For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
field: 2018001

1
When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt;
field: 2018002
2
18
2
Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,
field: 2018003
2
18
3
And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:
field: 2018004
2
18
4
And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:
field: 2018005
2
18
5
And Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God:
field: 2018006
2
18
6
And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
field: 2018007
2
18
7
And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into the tent.
field: 2018008
2
18
8
And Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the LORD delivered them.
field: 2018009
2
18
9
And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.
field: 2018010
2
18
10
And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
field: 2018011
2
18
11
Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.
field: 2018012
2
18
12
And Jethro, Moses' father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father in law before God.
field: 2018013
2
18
13
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.
field: 2018014
2
18
14
And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?
field: 2018015
2
18
15
And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to inquire of God:
field: 2018016
2
18
16
When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.
field: 2018017
2
18
17
And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.
field: 2018018
2
18
18
Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.
field: 2018019
2
18
19
Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:
field: 2018020
2
18
20
And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt show them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
field: 2018021
2
18
21
Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:
field: 2018022
2
18
22
And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.
field: 2018023
2
18
23
If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.
field: 2018024
2
18
24
So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said.
field: 2018025
2
18
25
And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
field: 2018026
2
18
26
And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
field: 2018027
2
18
27
And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land.
field: 2019001
2
19
1
In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
field: 2019002
2
19
2
For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.
field: 2019003
2
19
3
And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
field: 2019004
2
19
4
Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
field: 2019005
2
19
5
Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
field: 2019006
2
19
6
And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
field: 2019007
2
19
7
And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
field: 2019008
2
19
8
And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.
field: 2019009
2
19
9
And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.
field: 2019010
2
19
10
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
field: 2019011
2
19
11
And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
field: 2019012
2
19
12
And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:
field: 2019013
2
19
13
There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
field: 2019014
2
19
14
And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
field: 2019015
2
19
15
And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.
field: 2019016
2
19
16
And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.
field: 2019017
2
19
17
And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
field: 2019018
2
19
18
And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
field: 2019019
2
19
19
And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
field: 2019020
2
19
20
And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
field: 2019021
2
19
21
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
field: 2019022
2
19
22
And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.
field: 2019023
2
19
23
And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
field: 2019024
2
19
24
And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.
field: 2019025
2
19
25
So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
field: 2020001
2
20
1
And God spake all these words, saying,
field: 2020002
2
20
2
I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
field: 2020003
2
20
3
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
field: 2020004
2
20
4
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
field: 2020005
2
20
5
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
field: 2020006
2
20
6
And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
field: 2020007
2
20
7
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
field: 2020008
2
20
8
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
field: 2020009
2
20
9
Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work:
field: 2020010
2
20
10
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
field: 2020011
2
20
11
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
field: 2020012
2
20
12
Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
field: 2020013
2
20
13
Thou shalt not kill.
field: 2020014
2
20
14
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
field: 2020015
2
20
15
Thou shalt not steal.
field: 2020016
2
20
16
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
field: 2020017
2
20
17
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's.
field: 2020018
2
20
18
And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
field: 2020019
2
20
19
And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
field: 2020020
2
20
20
And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
field: 2020021
2
20
21
And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
field: 2020022
2
20
22
And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
field: 2020023
2
20
23
Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
field: 2020024
2
20
24
An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
field: 2020025
2
20
25
And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
field: 2020026
2
20
26
Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
field: 2021001
2
21
1
Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
field: 2021002
2
21
2
If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
field: 2021003
2
21
3
If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
field: 2021004
2
21
4
If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.
field: 2021005
2
21
5
And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
field: 2021006
2
21
6
Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever.
field: 2021007
2
21
7
And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
field: 2021008
2
21
8
If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
field: 2021009
2
21
9
And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
field: 2021010
2
21
10
If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
field: 2021011
2
21
11
And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
field: 2021012
2
21
12
He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.
field: 2021013
2
21
13
And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
field: 2021014
2
21
14
But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.
field: 2021015
2
21
15
And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
field: 2021016
2
21
16
And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
field: 2021017
2
21
17
And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
field: 2021018
2
21
18
And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
field: 2021019
2
21
19
If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
field: 2021020
2
21
20
And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
field: 2021021
2
21
21
Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.
field: 2021022
2
21
22
If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
field: 2021023
2
21
23
And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
field: 2021024
2
21
24
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
field: 2021025
2
21
25
Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
field: 2021026
2
21
26
And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
field: 2021027
2
21
27
And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
field: 2021028
2
21
28
If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.
field: 2021029
2
21
29
But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.
field: 2021030
2
21
30
If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.
field: 2021031
2
21
31
Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.
field: 2021032
2
21
32
If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
field: 2021033
2
21
33
And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;
field: 2021034
2
21
34
The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.
field: 2021035
2
21
35
And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide.
field: 2021036
2
21
36
Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own.
field: 2022001
2
22
1
If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
field: 2022002
2
22
2
If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
field: 2022003
2
22
3
If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
field: 2022004
2
22
4
If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
field: 2022005
2
22
5
If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man's field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
field: 2022006
2
22
6
If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
field: 2022007
2
22
7
If a man shall deliver unto his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him pay double.
field: 2022008
2
22
8
If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges, to see whether he have put his hand unto his neighbor's goods.
field: 2022009
2
22
9
For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbor.
field: 2022010
2
22
10
If a man deliver unto his neighbor an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:
field: 2022011
2
22
11
Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbor's goods; and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good.
field: 2022012
2
22
12
And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.
field: 2022013
2
22
13
If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.
field: 2022014
2
22
14
And if a man borrow ought of his neighbor, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it good.
field: 2022015
2
22
15
But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire.
field: 2022016
2
22
16
And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
field: 2022017
2
22
17
If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
field: 2022018
2
22
18
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
field: 2022019
2
22
19
Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
field: 2022020
2
22
20
He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
field: 2022021
2
22
21
Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
field: 2022022
2
22
22
Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
field: 2022023
2
22
23
If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;
field: 2022024
2
22
24
And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
field: 2022025
2
22
25
If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.
field: 2022026
2
22
26
If thou at all take thy neighbor's raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:
field: 2022027
2
22
27
For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
field: 2022028
2
22
28
Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.
field: 2022029
2
22
29
Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
field: 2022030
2
22
30
Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.
field: 2022031
2
22
31
And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
field: 2023001
2
23
1
Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
field: 2023002
2
23
2
Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
field: 2023003
2
23
3
Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
field: 2023004
2
23
4
If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
field: 2023005
2
23
5
If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.
field: 2023006
2
23
6
Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
field: 2023007
2
23
7
Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
field: 2023008
2
23
8
And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
field: 2023009
2
23
9
Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
field: 2023010
2
23
10
And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:
field: 2023011
2
23
11
But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.
field: 2023012
2
23
12
Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
field: 2023013
2
23
13
And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.
field: 2023014
2
23
14
Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
field: 2023015
2
23
15
Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)
field: 2023016
2
23
16
And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labors, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labors out of the field.
field: 2023017
2
23
17
Three items in the year all thy males shall appear before the LORD God.
field: 2023018
2
23
18
Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
field: 2023019
2
23
19
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.
field: 2023020
2
23
20
Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
field: 2023021
2
23
21
Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
field: 2023022
2
23
22
But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
field: 2023023
2
23
23
For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
field: 2023024
2
23
24
Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
field: 2023025
2
23
25
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.
field: 2023026
2
23
26
There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
field: 2023027
2
23
27
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.
field: 2023028
2
23
28
And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
field: 2023029
2
23
29
I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.
field: 2023030
2
23
30
By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
field: 2023031
2
23
31
And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.
field: 2023032
2
23
32
Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
field: 2023033
2
23
33
They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.
field: 2024001
2
24
1
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.
field: 2024002
2
24
2
And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.
field: 2024003
2
24
3
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.
field: 2024004
2
24
4
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.
field: 2024005
2
24
5
And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.
field: 2024006
2
24
6
And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
field: 2024007
2
24
7
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.
field: 2024008
2
24
8
And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.
field: 2024009
2
24
9
Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
field: 2024010
2
24
10
And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.
field: 2024011
2
24
11
And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.
field: 2024012
2
24
12
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.
field: 2024013
2
24
13
And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God.
field: 2024014
2
24
14
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.
field: 2024015
2
24
15
And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.
field: 2024016
2
24
16
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.
field: 2024017
2
24
17
And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.
field: 2024018
2
24
18
And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
field: 2025001
2
25
1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 2025002
2
25
2
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.
field: 2025003
2
25
3
And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,
field: 2025004
2
25
4
And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
field: 2025005
2
25
5
And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
field: 2025006
2
25
6
Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,
field: 2025007
2
25
7
Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.
field: 2025008
2
25
8
And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
field: 2025009
2
25
9
According to all that I show thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
field: 2025010
2
25
10
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.
field: 2025011
2
25
11
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.
field: 2025012
2
25
12
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.
field: 2025013
2
25
13
And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
field: 2025014
2
25
14
And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
field: 2025015
2
25
15
The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.
field: 2025016
2
25
16
And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
field: 2025017
2
25
17
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.
field: 2025018
2
25
18
And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
field: 2025019
2
25
19
And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubim on the two ends thereof.
field: 2025020
2
25
20
And the cherubim shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be.
field: 2025021
2
25
21
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.
field: 2025022
2

And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
field: 2029020
2
29
20
Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
field: 2029021
2
29
21
And thou shalt take of the blood that is upon the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.
field: 2029022
2
29
22
Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder; for it is a ram of consecration:
field: 2029023
2
29
23
And one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the LORD:
field: 2029024
2
29
24
And thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons; and shalt wave them for a wave offering before the LORD.
field: 2029025
2
29
25
And thou shalt receive them of their hands, and burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savor before the LORD: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
field: 2029026
2
29
26
And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall be thy part.
field: 2029027
2
29
27
And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of the consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons:
field: 2029028
2
29
28
And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute for ever from the children of Israel: for it is an heave offering: and it shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings, even their heave offering unto the LORD.
field: 2029029
2
29
29
And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them.
field: 2029030
2
29
30
And that son that is priest in his stead shall put them on seven days, when he cometh into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the holy place.
field: 2029031
2
29
31
And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and seethe his flesh in the holy place.
field: 2029032
2
29
32
And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
field: 2029033
2
29
33
And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy.
field: 2029034
2
29
34
And if ought of the flesh of the consecrations, or of the bread, remain unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
field: 2029035
2
29
35
And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all things which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them.
field: 2029036
2
29
36
And thou shalt offer every day a bullock for a sin offering for atonement: and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast made an atonement for it, and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it.
field: 2029037
2
29
37
Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy.
field: 2029038
2
29
38
Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.
field: 2029039
2
29
39
The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:
field: 2029040
2
29
40
And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering.
field: 2029041
2
29
41
And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
field: 2029042
2
29
42
This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee.
field: 2029043
2
29
43
And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory.
field: 2029044
2
29
44
And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the priest's office.
field: 2029045
2
29
45
And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
field: 2029046
2
29
46
And they shall know that I am the LORD their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the LORD their God.
field: 2030001
2

1
And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shalt thou make it.
field: 2030002
2
30
2
A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of the same.
field: 2030003
2
30
3
And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about.
field: 2030004
2
30
4
And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make it; and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal.
field: 2030005
2
30
5
And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
field: 2030006
2
30
6
And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.
field: 2030007
2
30
7
And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.
field: 2030008
2
30
8
And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.
field: 2030009
2
30
9
Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.
field: 2030010
2
30
10
And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the LORD.
field: 2030011
2
30
11
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 2030012
2
30
12
When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.
field: 2030013
2
30
13
This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall be the offering of the LORD.
field: 2030014
2
30
14
Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD.
field: 2030015
2
30
15
The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
field: 2030016
2
30
16
And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
field: 2030017
2
30
17
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 2030018
2
30
18
Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.
field: 2030019
2
30
19
For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:
field: 2030020
2
30
20
When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the LORD:
field: 2030021
2
30
21
So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
field: 2030022
2
30
22
Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 2030023
2
30
23
Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,
field: 2030024
2
30
24
And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:
field: 2030025
2
30
25
And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.
field: 2030026
2
30
26
And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony,
field: 2030027
2
30
27
And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense,
field: 2030028
2
30
28
And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot.
field: 2030029
2
30
29
And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.
field: 2030030
2
30
30
And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
field: 2030031
2
30
31
And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.
field: 2030032
2
30
32
Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.
field: 2030033
2
30
33
Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.
field: 2030034
2
30
34
And the LORD said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight:
field: 2030035
2
30
35
And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy:
field: 2030036
2
30
36
And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.
field: 2030037
2
30
37
And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the LORD.
field: 2030038
2
30
38
Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.
field: 2031001

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 2031002
2
31
2
See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
field: 2031003
2
31
3
And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
field: 2031004
2
31
4
To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
field: 2031005
2
31
5
And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
field: 2031006
2
31
6
And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;
field: 2031007
2
31
7
The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,
field: 2031008
2
31
8
And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,
field: 2031009
2
31
9
And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,
field: 2031010
2
31
10
And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,
field: 2031011
2
31
11
And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
field: 2031012
2
31
12
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 2031013
2
31
13
Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
field: 2031014
2
31
14
Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
field: 2031015
2
31
15
Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
field: 2031016
2
31
16
Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
field: 2031017
2
31
17
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
field: 2031018
2
31
18
And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
field: 2032001
2
32
1
And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
field: 2032002
2
32
2
And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
field: 2032003
2
32
3
And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
field: 2032004
2
32
4
And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
field: 2032005
2
32
5
And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
field: 2032006
2
32
6
And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
field: 2032007
2
32
7
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
field: 2032008
2
32
8
They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
field: 2032009
2
32
9
And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
field: 2032010
2
32
10
Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
field: 2032011
2
32
11
And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
field: 2032012
2
32
12
Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.
field: 2032013
2
32
13
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.
field: 2032014
2
32
14
And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
field: 2032015
2
32
15
And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.
field: 2032016
2
32
16
And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
field: 2032017
2
32
17
And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
field: 2032018
2
32
18
And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear.
field: 2032019
2
32
19
And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
field: 2032020
2
32
20
And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
field: 2032021
2
32
21
And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
field: 2032022
2
32
22
And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.
field: 2032023
2
32
23
For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
field: 2032024
2
32
24
And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
field: 2032025
2
32
25
And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)
field: 2032026
2
32
26
Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.
field: 2032027
2
32
27
And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.
field: 2032028
2
32
28
And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
field: 2032029
2
32
29
For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
field: 2032030
2
32
30
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.
field: 2032031
2
32
31
And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
field: 2032032
2
32
32
Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
field: 2032033
2
32
33
And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
field: 2032034
2
32
34
Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
field: 2032035
2
32
35
And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
field: 2033001
2
33
1
And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:
field: 2033002
2
33
2
And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
field: 2033003
2
33
3
Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.
field: 2033004
2
33
4
And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.
field: 2033005
2
33
5
For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.
field: 2033006
2
33
6
And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
field: 2033007
2
33
7
And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.
field: 2033008
2
33
8
And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.
field: 2033009
2
33
9
And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.
field: 2033010
2
33
10
And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
field: 2033011
2
33
11
And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
field: 2033012
2
33
12
And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
field: 2033013
2
33
13
Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, show me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.

And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
field: 2033015
2
33
15
And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
field: 2033016
2
33
16
For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.
field: 2033017
2
33
17
And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
field: 2033018
2
33
18
And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory.
field: 2033019
2
33
19
And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.
field: 2033020
2
33
20
And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
field: 2033021
2
33
21
And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
field: 2033022
2
33
22
And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
field: 2033023
2
33
23
And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
field: 2034001
2
34

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.
field: 2034002
2
34
2
And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount.
field: 2034003
2
34
3
And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.
field: 2034004
2
34
4
And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
field: 2034005
2
34
5
And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
field: 2034006
2
34
6
And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
field: 2034007
2
34
7
Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
field: 2034008
2
34
8
And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.
field: 2034009
2
34
9
And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O LORD, let my LORD, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.
field: 2034010
2
34
10
And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
field: 2034011
2
34
11
Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
field: 2034012
2
34
12
Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:
field: 2034013
2
34
13
But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:
field: 2034014
2
34
14
For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
field: 2034015
2
34
15
Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;
field: 2034016
2
34
16
And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
field: 2034017
2
34
17
Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
field: 2034018
2
34
18
The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
field: 2034019
2

19
All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.
field: 2034020
2
34
20
But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
field: 2034021
2
34
21
Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
field: 2034022
2
34
22
And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.
field: 2034023
2
34
23
Thrice in the year shall all your men children appear before the LORD God, the God of Israel.
field: 2034024
2
34
24
For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.
field: 2034025
2
34
25
Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.
field: 2034026
2
34
26
The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
field: 2034027
2
34
27
And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
field: 2034028
2
34
28
And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
field: 2034029
2
34
29
And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.
field: 2034030
2
34
30
And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.
field: 2034031
2
34
31
And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.
field: 2034032
2
34
32
And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.
field: 2034033
2
34
33
And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face.
field: 2034034
2
34
34
But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.
field: 2034035
2
34
35
And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
field: 2035001
2
35
1
And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them.
field: 2035002
2
35
2
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.
field: 2035003
2
35
3
Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.
field: 2035004
2
35
4
And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,
field: 2035005
2
35
5
Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass,
field: 2035006
2
35
6
And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,

And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,

And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,

9
And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.
field: 2035010
2
35
10
And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded;
field: 2035011
2
35
11
The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,
field: 2035012
2
35
12
The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering,
field: 2035013
2
35
13
The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the showbread,
field: 2035014

14
The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the light,
field: 2035015

15
And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the tabernacle,

The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,

19
The cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.
field: 2035020
2
35
20
And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
field: 2035021
2
35
21
And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD's offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.
field: 2035022
2
35
22
And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered, offered an offering of gold unto the LORD.
field: 2035023
2
35
23
And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them.
field: 2035024
2
35
24
Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD's offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it.
field: 2035025
2
35
25
And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen.
field: 2035026
2
35
26
And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair.
field: 2035027
2
35
27
And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;
field: 2035028
2
35
28
And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
field: 2035029
2
35
29
The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.
field: 2035030
2
35
30
And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
field: 2035031
2
35
31
And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
field: 2035032
2
35
32
And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
field: 2035033
2
35
33
And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.
field: 2035034
2
35
34
And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
field: 2035035
2
35
35
Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.
field: 2036001
2
36
1
Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had commanded.
field: 2036002
2
36
2
And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it:
field: 2036003
2
36
3
And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal. And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.
field: 2036004
2
36
4
And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;
field: 2036005
2
36
5
And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.
field: 2036006
2
36
6
And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.
field: 2036007
2
36
7
For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
field: 2036008
2
36
8
And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubim of cunning work made he them.
field: 2036009
2
36
9
The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size.
field: 2036010
2
36
10
And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.
field: 2036011
2
36
11
And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the uttermost side of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.
field: 2036012
2
36
12
Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the loops held one curtain to another.
field: 2036013
2
36
13
And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.
field: 2036014
2
36
14
And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.
field: 2036015
2
36
15
The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size.
field: 2036016
2
36
16
And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
field: 2036017
2
36
17
And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.
field: 2036018
2
36
18
And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
field: 2036019
2
36
19
And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that.
field: 2036020
2
36
20
And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.
field: 2036021
2
36
21
The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half.
field: 2036022
2
36
22
One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
field: 2036023
2
36
23
And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward:
field: 2036024
2
36
24
And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.
field: 2036025
2
36
25
And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards,
field: 2036026
2
36
26
And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
field: 2036027
2
36
27
And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
field: 2036028
2
36
28
And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.
field: 2036029
2
36
29
And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head thereof, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.
field: 2036030
2
36
30
And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
field: 2036031
2
36
31
And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
field: 2036032
2
36
32
And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides westward.
field: 2036033
2
36
33
And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other.
field: 2036034
2
36
34
And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
field: 2036035
2
36
35
And he made a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubim made he it of cunning work.
field: 2036036
2
36
36
And he made thereunto four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.
field: 2036037
2
36
37
And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework;
field: 2036038
2
36
38
And the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their chapiters and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets were of brass.
field: 2037001
2
37
1
And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:
field: 2037002
2
37
2
And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.
field: 2037003
2
37
3
And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.
field: 2037004
2
37
4
And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
field: 2037005
2
37
5
And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
field: 2037006
2
37
6
And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
field: 2037007
2
37
7
And he made two cherubim of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;
field: 2037008
2
37
8
One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubim on the two ends thereof.
field: 2037009
2
37
9
And the cherubim spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubim.
field: 2037010
2
37
10
And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof:
field: 2037011
2
37
11
And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.
field: 2037012
2
37
12
Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about.
field: 2037013
2
37
13
And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof.
field: 2037014
2
37
14
Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.
field: 2037015
2
37
15
And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.
field: 2037016
2
37
16
And he made the vessels which were upon the table, his dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover withal, of pure gold.
field: 2037017
2
37
17
And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the same:
field: 2037018
2
37
18
And six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof:
field: 2037019
2
37
19
Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout the six branches going out of the candlestick.
field: 2037020
2
37
20
And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:
field: 2037021
2
37
21
And a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches going out of it.
field: 2037022
2
37
22
Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.

37
23
And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure gold.
field: 2037024
2
37
24
Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.
field: 2037025
2
37
25
And he made the incense altar of shittim wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it was foursquare; and two cubits was the height of it; the horns thereof were of the same.
field: 2037026
2
37
26
And he overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it: also he made unto it a crown of gold round about.
field: 2037027
2
37
27
And he made two rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two corners of it, upon the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it withal.
field: 2037028
2
37
28
And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
field: 2037029
2
37
29
And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary.
field: 2038001
2
38
1
And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.
field: 2038002
2
38
2
And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.
field: 2038003
2
38
3
And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass.
field: 2038004
2
38
4
And he made for the altar a brazen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it.
field: 2038005
2
38
5
And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves.
field: 2038006
2
38
6
And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.
field: 2038007
2
38
7
And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards.
field: 2038008
2
38
8
And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
field: 2038009
2
38
9
And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:
field: 2038010
2
38
10
Their pillars were twenty, and their brazen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
field: 2038011
2
38
11
And for the north side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their pillars were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
field: 2038012
2
38
12
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.
field: 2038013
2
38
13
And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.
field: 2038014
2
38
14
The hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
field: 2038015
2
38
15
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.
field: 2038016
2
38
16
All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.
field: 2038017
2
38
17
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.
field: 2038018
2
38
18
And the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court.
field: 2038019
2
38
19
And their pillars were four, and their sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver.
field: 2038020
2
38
20
And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.
field: 2038021
2
38
21
This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.
field: 2038022
2
38
22
And Bezaleel the son Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 2038023
2
38
23
And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.
field: 2038024
2
38
24
All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
field: 2038025
2
38
25
And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
field: 2038026
2
38
26
A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.
field: 2038027
2
38
27
And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
field: 2038028
2
38
28
And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.
field: 2038029
2
38
29
And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.
field: 2038030
2
38
30
And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brazen altar, and the brazen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar,
field: 2038031
2
38
31
And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.
field: 2039001
2
39
1
And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 2039002
2
39
2
And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
field: 2039003
2
39
3
And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with cunning work.
field: 2039004
2
39
4
They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.
field: 2039005
2
39
5
And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 2039006
2
39
6
And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
field: 2039007
2
39
7
And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 2039008
2
39
8
And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
field: 2039009
2
39
9
It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.
field: 2039010
2
39
10
And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.
field: 2039011
2
39
11
And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
field: 2039012
2
39
12
And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
field: 2039013
2
39
13
And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.
field: 2039014
2
39
14
And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.
field: 2039015
2
39
15
And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathed work of pure gold.
field: 2039016
2
39
16
And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.
field: 2039017
2
39
17
And they put the two wreathed chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.
field: 2039018
2
39
18
And the two ends of the two wreathed chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.
field: 2039019
2
39
19
And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward.
field: 2039020
2
39
20
And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
field: 2039021
2
39
21
And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 2039022
2
39
22
And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
field: 2039023
2
39
23
And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.
field: 2039024
2
39
24
And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.
field: 2039025
2
39
25
And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;
field: 2039026
2
39
26
A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 2039027
2
39
27
And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,
field: 2039028
2
39
28
And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,
field: 2039029
2
39
29
And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 2039030
2
39
30
And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
field: 2039031
2
39
31
And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 2039032
2
39
32
Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
field: 2039033
2
39
33
And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets,
field: 2039034
2
39
34
And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering,
field: 2039035
2
39
35
The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,
field: 2039036
2
39
36
The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the showbread,
field: 2039037
2
39
37
The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,
field: 2039038
2
39
38
And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,
field: 2039039
2
39
39
The brazen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
field: 2039040
2
39
40
The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,
field: 2039041
2
39
41
The cloths of service to do service in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to minister in the priest's office.
field: 2039042
2
39
42
According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.
field: 2039043
2
39
43
And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
field: 2040001
2
40
1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 2040002
2
40
2
On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
field: 2040003
2
40
3
And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.
field: 2040004
2
40
4
And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.
field: 2040005
2
40
5
And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.
field: 2040006
2
40
6
And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
field: 2040007
2
40
7
And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein.
field: 2040008
2
40
8
And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.
field: 2040009
2
40
9
And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.
field: 2040010
2
40
10
And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.
field: 2040011
2
40
11
And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.
field: 2040012
2
40
12
And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
field: 2040013
2
40
13
And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
field: 2040014
2
40
14
And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
field: 2040015
2
40
15
And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
field: 2040016
2
40
16
Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.
field: 2040017
2
40
17
And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.
field: 2040018
2
40
18
And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.
field: 2040019
2
40
19
And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 2040020
2
40
20
And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:
field: 2040021
2
40
21
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 2040022
2
40
22
And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.
field: 2040023
2
40
23
And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
field: 2040024
2
40
24
And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
field: 2040025
2
40
25
And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 2040026
2
40
26
And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:
field: 2040027
2
40
27
And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 2040028
2
40
28
And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.
field: 2040029
2
40
29
And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 2040030
2
40
30
And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.
field: 2040031
2
40
31
And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:
field: 2040032
2
40
32
When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 2040033
2
40
33
And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.
field: 2040034
2
40
34
Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
field: 2040035
2
40
35
And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
field: 2040036
2
40
36
And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
field: 2040037
2
40
37
But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.
field: 2040038
2
40
38
For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
field: 3001001
3
1
1
And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
field: 3001002
3
1
2
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.
field: 3001003
3
1
3
If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
field: 3001004
3
1
4
And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
field: 3001005
3
1
5
And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
field: 3001006
3
1
6
And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.
field: 3001007
3
1
7
And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:
field: 3001008
3
1
8
And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
field: 3001009
3
1
9
But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD.
field: 3001010
3
1
10
And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.
field: 3001011
3
1
11
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.
field: 3001012
3
1
12
And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
field: 3001013
3
1
13
But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD.
field: 3001014
3
1
14
And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
field: 3001015
3
1
15
And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
field: 3001016
3
1
16
And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
field: 3001017
3
1
17
And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD.
field: 3002001
3
2
1
And when any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:
field: 3002002
3
2
2
And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD:
field: 3002003
3
2
3
And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
field: 3002004
3
2
4
And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
field: 3002005
3
2
5
And if thy oblation be a meat offering baked in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
field: 3002006
3
2

But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.

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.
field: 3007020

20
But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
field: 3007021
3
7
21
Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain unto the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
field: 3007022

22
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 3007023
3
7
23
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.
field: 3007024
3
7
24
And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it.
field: 3007025
3
7
25
For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.
field: 3007026
3
7
26
Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
field: 3007027
3
7
27
Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
field: 3007028
3
7
28
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 3007029
3
7
29
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the LORD shall bring his oblation unto the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.
field: 3007030
3
7
30
His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD.
field: 3007031
3
7
31
And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.
field: 3007032
3
7
32
And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest for an heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
field: 3007033
3
7
33
He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part.
field: 3007034
3
7
34
For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute for ever from among the children of Israel.
field: 3007035
3
7
35
This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto the LORD in the priest's office;
field: 3007036
3
7
36
Which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, by a statute for ever throughout their generations.
field: 3007037
3
7
37
This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings;
field: 3007038
3
7
38
Which the LORD commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.
field: 3008001
3
8
1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 3008002
3
8
2
Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread;
field: 3008003
3
8
3
And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
field: 3008004
3
8
4
And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
field: 3008005
3
8
5
And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which the LORD commanded to be done.
field: 3008006
3
8
6
And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.
field: 3008007
3
8
7
And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith.
field: 3008008
3
8
8
And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim.
field: 3008009
3
8
9
And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, even upon his forefront, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 3008010
3
8
10
And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them.
field: 3008011
3
8
11
And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to sanctify them.
field: 3008012
3
8
12
And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.
field: 3008013
3
8
13
And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles, and put bonnets upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 3008014
3
8
14
And he brought the bullock for the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering.
field: 3008015
3
8
15
And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it.
field: 3008016
3
8
16
And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon the altar.
field: 3008017
3
8
17
But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 3008018
3
8
18
And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
field: 3008019
3
8
19
And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
field: 3008020
3
8
20
And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat.
field: 3008021
3
8
21
And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savor, and an offering made by fire unto the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 3008022
3
8
22
And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
field: 3008023
3
8
23
And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
field: 3008024
3
8
24
And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
field: 3008025
3
8
25
And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder:
field: 3008026
3
8
26
And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put them on the fat, and upon the right shoulder:
field: 3008027
3
8
27
And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his sons' hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD.
field: 3008028
3
8
28
And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt offering: they were consecrations for a sweet savor: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
field: 3008029
3
8
29
And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD: for of the ram of consecration it was Moses' part; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 3008030
3
8
30
And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons' garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.
field: 3008031
3
8
31
And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.
field: 3008032
3
8
32
And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire.
field: 3008033
3
8
33
And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you.
field: 3008034
3
8
34
As he hath done this day, so the LORD hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for you.
field: 3008035
3
8
35
Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the LORD, that ye die not: for so I am commanded.
field: 3008036
3
8
36
So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
field: 3009001
3
9
1
And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;
field: 3009002
3
9
2
And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the LORD.
field: 3009003
3
9
3
And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;
field: 3009004
3
9
4
Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meat offering mingled with oil: for to day the LORD will appear unto you.
field: 3009005
3
9
5
And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.
field: 3009006
3
9
6
And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded that ye should do: and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto you.
field: 3009007
3
9
7
And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.
field: 3009008
3
9
8
Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
field: 3009009
3
9
9
And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar:
field: 3009010
3
9
10
But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 3009011
3
9
11
And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.
field: 3009012
3
9
12
And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.
field: 3009013
3
9
13
And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar.
field: 3009014
3
9
14
And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar.
field: 3009015
3
9
15
And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.
field: 3009016
3
9
16
And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the manner.
field: 3009017
3
9
17
And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
field: 3009018
3
9
18
He slew also the bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,
field: 3009019
3
9
19
And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver:
field: 3009020
3
9
20
And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:
field: 3009021
3
9
21
And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.
field: 3009022
3
9
22
And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings.
field: 3009023
3
9
23
And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people.
field: 3009024
3
9
24
And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
field: 3010001
3
10
1
And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.
field: 3010002
3
10
2
And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
field: 3010003
3
10
3
Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
field: 3010004
3
10
4
And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
field: 3010005
3
10
5
So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.
field: 3010006
3
10
6
And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled.
field: 3010007
3
10
7
And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.
field: 3010008
3
10
8
And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,
field: 3010009
3
10
9
Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:
field: 3010010
3
10
10
And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;
field: 3010011
3
10
11
And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.
field: 3010012
3
10
12
And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:
field: 3010013
3
10
13
And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it is thy due, and thy sons' due, of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for so I am commanded.
field: 3010014
3
10
14
And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they be thy due, and thy sons' due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.
field: 3010015
3
10
15
The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the LORD; and it shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, by a statute for ever; as the LORD hath commanded.
field: 3010016
3
10
16
And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron which were left alive, saying,
field: 3010017
3
10
17
Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD?
field: 3010018
3
10
18
Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place: ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.
field: 3010019
3
10
19
And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things have befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD?
field: 3010020
3
10
20
And when Moses heard that, he was content.
field: 3011001
3
11
1
And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
field: 3011002
3
11
2
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
field: 3011003
3
11
3
Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
field: 3011004
3
11
4
Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
field: 3011005
3
11
5
And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
field: 3011006
3
11
6
And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
field: 3011007
3
11
7
And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven-footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
field: 3011008
3
11
8
Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
field: 3011009
3
11
9
These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
field: 3011010
3
11
10
And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
field: 3011011
3
11
11
They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcasses in abomination.
field: 3011012
3
11
12
Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
field: 3011013
3
11
13
And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
field: 3011014
3
11
14
And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
field: 3011015
3
11
15
Every raven after his kind;
field: 3011016
3
11
16
And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after his kind,
field: 3011017
3
11
17
And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
field: 3011018
3
11
18
And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
field: 3011019
3
11
19
And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
field: 3011020
3
11
20
All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
field: 3011021
3
11
21
Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
field: 3011022
3
11
22
Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.
field: 3011023
3
11
23
But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
field: 3011024
3
11
24
And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the even.
field: 3011025
3
11
25
And whosoever beareth ought of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
field: 3011026
3
11
26
The carcasses of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
field: 3011027
3
11
27
And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the even.
field: 3011028
3
11
28
And he that beareth the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.
field: 3011029
3
11
29
These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,
field: 3011030
3
11
30
And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.
field: 3011031
3
11
31
These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
field: 3011032
3
11
32
And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed.
field: 3011033
3
11
33
And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
field: 3011034
3
11
34
Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
field: 3011035
3
11
35
And every thing whereupon any part of their carcass falleth shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean and shall be unclean unto you.
field: 3011036
3
11
36
Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcass shall be unclean.
field: 3011037
3
11
37
And if any part of their carcass fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.
field: 3011038
3
11
38
But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcass fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
field: 3011039
3
11
39
And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the even.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

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.
field: 3012003

And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
field: 3012004

And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.

But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.

And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:
field: 3012007

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.

And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,
field: 3013002
3

2
When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:
field: 3013003
3
13
3
And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and when the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
field: 3013004
3
13
4
If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days:
field: 3013005
3
13
5
And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague in his sight be at a stay, and the plague spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:
field: 3013006
3
13
6
And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
field: 3013007

But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath been seen of the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again.

And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.
field: 3013009

When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest;
field: 3013010
3

10
And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising;
field: 3013011
3
13
11
It is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he is unclean.
field: 3013012
3
13
12
And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his foot, wheresoever the priest looketh;
field: 3013013
3
13
13
Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean.
field: 3013014
3
13
14
But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
field: 3013015

And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy.

Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest;

And in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be showed to the priest;

3
13
20
And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it be in sight lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.
field: 3013021
3

But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:

And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.
field: 3013023

But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

Or if there be any flesh, in the skin whereof there is a hot burning, and the quick flesh that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white;

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.
field: 3013026

But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the other skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:

And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
field: 3013028

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.

If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;

Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it be in sight deeper than the skin; and there be in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a dry scall, even a leprosy upon the head or beard.
field: 3013031
3

31
And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall seven days:

32
And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, if the scall spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scall be not in sight deeper than the skin;

3
13
33
He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more:
field: 3013034
3
13
34
And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, nor be in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
field: 3013035
3
13
35
But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
field: 3013036
3
13
36
Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean.
field: 3013037
3
13
37
But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and that there is black hair grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

38
If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;

Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white; it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; he is clean.

And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.

And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean.
field: 3013042

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.
field: 3013043
3
13
43
Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh;
field: 3013044
3
13
44
He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.

And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.

Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woolen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin;

And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be showed unto the priest:

And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that hath the plague seven days:
field: 3013051

51
And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of skin; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean.
field: 3013052
3
13

He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woolen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.

Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:
field: 3013055

And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed: and, behold, if the plague have not changed his color, and the plague be not spread; it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without.
field: 3013056
3
13
56
And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be somewhat dark after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:
field: 3013057
3
13
57
And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a spreading plague: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire.
field: 3013058
3
13
58
And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean.

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;
field: 3014004

Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water:

As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water:

And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.
field: 3014008

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.

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:
field: 3014013

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:
field: 3014014
3
14
14
And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:

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:
field: 3014036
3
14
36
Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:

3
14
37
And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;

14
38
Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:

And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;

Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:

And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:

And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.

Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house; it is unclean.

And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.

But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.

This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,
field: 3014055
3
14
55
And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
field: 3014056
3
14
56
And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
field: 3014057

57
To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.

And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
field: 3015002
3
15
2
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean.
field: 3015003
3
15
3
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.
field: 3015004
3
15
4
Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean.
field: 3015005
3
15
5
And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
field: 3015006
3
15
6
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.
field: 3015007
3
15
7
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.
field: 3015008
3
15
8
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.
field: 3015009
3
15
9
And what saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean.
field: 3015010
3
15
10
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.
field: 3015011
3
15
11
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.
field: 3015012
3
15
12
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.
field: 3015013
3
15
13
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.
field: 3015014
3
15
14
And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them unto the priest:
field: 3015015
3
15
15
And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD for his issue.
field: 3015016
3
15
16
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.
field: 3015017
3
15
17
And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.
field: 3015018
3
15
18
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.
field: 3015019
3
15
19
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.
field: 3015020
3
15
20
And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.
field: 3015021
3
15
21
And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
field: 3015022
3
15
22
And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
field: 3015023
3
15
23
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.
field: 3015024
3
15
24
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.
field: 3015025
3
15
25
And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.
field: 3015026
3
15
26
Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.
field: 3015027
3
15
27
And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
field: 3015028
3
15
28
But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
field: 3015029
3
15
29
And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
field: 3015030
3
15
30
And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness.
field: 3015031
3
15
31
Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them.
field: 3015032
3
15
32
This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith;
field: 3015033
3
15
33
And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.

And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died;
field: 3016002
3
16
2
And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.
field: 3016003
3
16
3
Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
field: 3016004
3
16
4
He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on.
field: 3016005
3
16
5
And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.
field: 3016006
3
16
6
And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.
field: 3016007
3
16
7
And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
field: 3016008
3
16
8
And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
field: 3016009
3
16
9
And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD's lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering.
field: 3016010
3
16
10
But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
field: 3016011
3
16
11
And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself:
field: 3016012
3
16
12
And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail:
field: 3016013
3
16
13
And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:
field: 3016014
3
16
14
And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.
field: 3016015
3
16
15
Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:
field: 3016016
3
16
16
And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.
field: 3016017
3
16
17
And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.
field: 3016018
3
16
18
And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about.
field: 3016019
3
16
19
And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
field: 3016020
3
16
20
And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:
field: 3016021
3
16
21
And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:
field: 3016022
3
16
22
And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
field: 3016023
3
16
23
And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there:
field: 3016024
3
16
24
And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.
field: 3016025
3
16
25
And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.
field: 3016026
3
16
26
And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.
field: 3016027
3
16
27
And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.
field: 3016028
3
16
28
And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
field: 3016029
3
16
29
And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:
field: 3016030
3
16
30
For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
field: 3016031
3
16
31
It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.
field: 3016032
3
16
32
And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments:
field: 3016033
3
16
33
And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation.
field: 3016034
3
16
34
And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 3017001
3
17
1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 3017002
3
17
2
Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying,
field: 3017003
3
17
3
What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,
field: 3017004
3
17
4
And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:
field: 3017005
3
17
5
To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the LORD.
field: 3017006
3
17
6
And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savor unto the LORD.
field: 3017007
3
17
7
And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.
field: 3017008
3
17
8
And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,
field: 3017009
3
17
9
And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among his people.
field: 3017010
3
17
10
And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
field: 3017011
3
17
11
For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
field: 3017012
3
17
12
Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.
field: 3017013
3
17
13
And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
field: 3017014
3
17
14
For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
field: 3017015
3
17
15
And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.
field: 3017016
3
17
16
But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
field: 3018001

1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 3018002

18
2
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God.
field: 3018003
3
18
3
After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.
field: 3018004
3
18
4
Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.
field: 3018005
3
18
5
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
field: 3018006
3
18
6
None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
field: 3018007
3
18
7
The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
field: 3018008
3
18
8
The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
field: 3018009
3
18
9
The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
field: 3018010
3
18
10
The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.
field: 3018011
3
18
11
The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
field: 3018012
3
18
12
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
field: 3018013
3
18
13
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
field: 3018014
3
18
14
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
field: 3018015
3
18
15
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
field: 3018016
3
18
16
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.
field: 3018017
3
18
17
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
field: 3018018
3
18
18
Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
field: 3018019
3
18
19
Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
field: 3018020
3
18
20
Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbor's wife, to defile thyself with her.
field: 3018021
3
18
21
And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
field: 3018022
3
18
22
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
field: 3018023
3
18
23
Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
field: 3018024
3
18
24
Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
field: 3018025
3
18
25
And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
field: 3018026
3
18
26
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
field: 3018027
3
18
27
(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
field: 3018028
3
18
28
That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
field: 3018029
3
18
29
For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
field: 3018030
3
18
30
Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
field: 3019001
3
19
1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 3019002
3
19
2
Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.
field: 3019003
3
19
3
Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.
field: 3019004
3
19
4
Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.
field: 3019005
3
19
5
And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will.
field: 3019006
3
19
6
It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.
field: 3019007
3
19
7
And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted.
field: 3019008
3
19
8
Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
field: 3019009
3
19
9
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.
field: 3019010
3
19
10
And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God.
field: 3019011
3
19
11
Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
field: 3019012
3
19
12
And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
field: 3019013
3
19
13
Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbor, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.
field: 3019014
3
19
14
Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling-block before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.
field: 3019015
3
19
15
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor.
field: 3019016
3
19
16
Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor; I am the LORD.

Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the LORD.

Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woolen come upon thee.

And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to 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.

And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering.

And 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.

But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal.

And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God.

Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
field: 3020003
3
20
3
And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
field: 3020004
3
20
4
And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
field: 3020005
3
20
5
Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
field: 3020006
3
20

And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.

Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.

And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you.

For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
field: 3020010
3
20
10
And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
field: 3020011
3
20
11
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.
field: 3020012
3
20
12
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.
field: 3020013
3

13
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.

And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.

And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

And 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.

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.
field: 3020023

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.

24
But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people.
field: 3020025
3

Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.

And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:

But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother.

And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.

But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.

5
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.
field: 3021006

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.
field: 3021007
3
21
7
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.
field: 3021008
3
21
8
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.
field: 3021009

9
And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
field: 3021010

10
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;

3
21
11
Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;

Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD.
field: 3021013

13
And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
field: 3021014

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.

Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
field: 3021018

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,
field: 3021019
3
21
19
Or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed,
field: 3021020
3
21
20
Or crookbacked, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
field: 3021021
3
21
21
No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
field: 3021022
3
21
22
He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
field: 3021023
3

23
Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.

And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
field: 3022001

1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 3022002
3
22
2
Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me: I am the LORD.
field: 3022003
3
22
3
Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD.
field: 3022004
3
22
4
What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
field: 3022005
3
22
5
Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;
field: 3022006
3
22
6
The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.
field: 3022007
3
22
7
And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.
field: 3022008
3
22
8
That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith; I am the LORD.
field: 3022009
3
22
9
They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them.
field: 3022010
3
22
10
There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
field: 3022011
3
22
11
But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.
field: 3022012
3
22
12
If the priest's daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
field: 3022013
3
22
13
But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat: but there shall be no stranger eat thereof.
field: 3022014
3
22
14
And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the holy thing.
field: 3022015
3
22
15
And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;
field: 3022016

16
Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.

17
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 3022018

18
Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering;
field: 3022019
3
22
19
Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
field: 3022020
3
22
20
But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
field: 3022021
3
22
21
And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.
field: 3022022
3
22
22
Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD.
field: 3022023
3
22
23
Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
field: 3022024
3
22
24
Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land.
field: 3022025
3
22
25
Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
field: 3022026
3
22
26
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 3022027
3
22
27
When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
field: 3022028
3
22
28
And whether it be cow, or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.
field: 3022029
3
22
29
And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own will.
field: 3022030
3
22
30
On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am the LORD.

22
31
Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.
field: 3022032
3
22
32
Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you,

33
That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
field: 3023003
3
23
3
Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
field: 3023004
3
23
4
These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
field: 3023005
3
23
5
In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's passover.
field: 3023006
3
23
6
And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
field: 3023007
3
23
7
In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
field: 3023008
3
23
8
But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
field: 3023009
3
23
9
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 3023010
3
23
10
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
field: 3023011
3
23
11
And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
field: 3023012
3
23
12
And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
field: 3023013
3
23
13
And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savor: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
field: 3023014
3
23
14
And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
field: 3023015
3
23
15
And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
field: 3023016
3
23
16
Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
field: 3023017
3
23
17
Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals; they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.
field: 3023018
3
23
18
And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savor unto the LORD.
field: 3023019
3
23
19
Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
field: 3023020
3
23
20
And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
field: 3023021
3
23
21
And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
field: 3023022
3
23
22
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
field: 3023023

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

24
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
field: 3023025
3
23
25
Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
field: 3023026
3
23
26
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 3023027
3
23
27
Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
field: 3023028
3
23
28
And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.
field: 3023029
3
23
29
For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
field: 3023030
3
23
30
And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.

Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.

33
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 3023034
3
23
34
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.
field: 3023035
3
23
35
On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
field: 3023036
3
23
36
Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.
field: 3023037
3
23
37
These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
field: 3023038
3
23
38
Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.
field: 3023039
3
23
39
Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
field: 3023040
3
23
40
And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
field: 3023041
3
23
41
And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
field: 3023042
3
23
42
Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
field: 3023043
3
23
43
That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
field: 3023044

44
And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.
field: 3024001
3
24
1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 3024002
3
24
2
Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.
field: 3024003
3
24
3
Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations.
field: 3024004
3
24
4
He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually.
field: 3024005
3
24
5
And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake.
field: 3024006
3
24
6
And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD.
field: 3024007
3
24
7
And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
field: 3024008
3
24
8
Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.
field: 3024009
3
24
9
And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.
field: 3024010
3
24
10
And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;
field: 3024011
3
24
11
And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)
field: 3024012
3
24
12
And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be showed them.
field: 3024013
3
24
13
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 3024014
3
24
14
Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
field: 3024015
3
24
15
And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.
field: 3024016
3
24
16
And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.
field: 3024017
3
24
17
And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.
field: 3024018
3
24
18
And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.
field: 3024019
3
24
19
And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbor; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;
field: 3024020
3
24
20
Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.
field: 3024021
3
24
21
And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.
field: 3024022
3
24
22
Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God.
field: 3024023

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.
field: 3025001
3
25
1
And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
field: 3025002
3
25
2
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.
field: 3025003
3
25
3
Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
field: 3025004
3
25
4
But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
field: 3025005
3
25
5
That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.
field: 3025006
3
25
6
And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee.
field: 3025007
3
25
7
And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.
field: 3025008
3
25
8
And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.
field: 3025009
3
25
9
Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
field: 3025010
3
25
10
And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
field: 3025011
3
25
11
A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.
field: 3025012
3
25
12
For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.
field: 3025013
3
25
13
In the year of this jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession.
field: 3025014
3
25
14
And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbor, or buyest ought of thy neighbor's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
field: 3025015
3
25
15
According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbor, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:
field: 3025016
3
25
16
According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.
field: 3025017
3
25
17
Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.
field: 3025018
3
25
18
Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
field: 3025019
3
25
19
And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.
field: 3025020
3
25
20
And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
field: 3025021
3
25
21
Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
field: 3025022
3
25
22
And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.
field: 3025023
3
25
23
The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
field: 3025024
3
25
24
And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
field: 3025025
3
25
25
If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.
field: 3025026
3
25
26
And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
field: 3025027
3
25
27
Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.
field: 3025028
3
25
28
But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.
field: 3025029
3
25
29
And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.
field: 3025030
3
25
30
And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee.
field: 3025031
3
25
31
But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.
field: 3025032
3
25
32
Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
field: 3025033
3
25
33
And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubilee: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
field: 3025034
3
25
34
But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
field: 3025035
3
25
35
And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.
field: 3025036
3
25
36
Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.
field: 3025037
3
25
37
Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
field: 3025038
3
25
38
I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
field: 3025039
3
25
39
And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:
field: 3025040
3
25
40
But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubilee.
field: 3025041
3
25
41
And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.
field: 3025042
3
25
42
For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.
field: 3025043
3
25
43
Thou shalt not rule over him with rigor; but shalt fear thy God.
field: 3025044
3
25
44
Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
field: 3025045
3
25
45
Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.
field: 3025046
3
25
46
And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigor.
field: 3025047
3
25
47
And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:
field: 3025048
3
25
48
After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:
field: 3025049
3
25
49
Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.
field: 3025050
3
25
50
And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubilee: 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.
field: 3025051
3
25
51
If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
field: 3025052
3
25
52
And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.
field: 3025053
3
25
53
And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigor over him in thy sight.
field: 3025054
3
25
54
And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both he, and his children with him.
field: 3025055
3
25
55
For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
field: 3026001
3
26
1
Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.
field: 3026002
3
26
2
Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
field: 3026003
3
26
3
If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
field: 3026004
3
26
4
Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
field: 3026005
3
26
5
And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
field: 3026006
3
26
6
And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
field: 3026007
3
26
7
And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
field: 3026008
3
26
8
And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
field: 3026009
3
26
9
For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
field: 3026010
3
26
10
And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
field: 3026011
3
26
11
And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
field: 3026012
3
26
12
And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
field: 3026013
3
26
13
I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
field: 3026014
3
26
14
But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;
field: 3026015
3
26
15
And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:
field: 3026016
3
26
16
I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
field: 3026017
3
26
17
And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
field: 3026018
3
26
18
And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
field: 3026019
3
26
19
And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
field: 3026020
3
26
20
And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.
field: 3026021
3
26
21
And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
field: 3026022
3
26
22
I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate.
field: 3026023
3
26
23
And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;
field: 3026024
3
26
24
Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
field: 3026025
3
26
25
And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
field: 3026026
3
26
26
And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
field: 3026027
3
26
27
And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;
field: 3026028
3
26
28
Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
field: 3026029
3
26
29
And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
field: 3026030
3
26
30
And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
field: 3026031
3
26
31
And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors.
field: 3026032
3
26
32
And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
field: 3026033
3
26
33
And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.
field: 3026034
3
26
34
Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
field: 3026035
3
26
35
As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
field: 3026036
3
26
36
And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.
field: 3026037
3
26
37
And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
field: 3026038
3
26
38
And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
field: 3026039
3
26
39
And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
field: 3026040
3
26
40
If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;
field: 3026041
3
26
41
And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
field: 3026042
3
26
42
Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.
field: 3026043
3
26
43
The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.
field: 3026044
3
26
44
And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.
field: 3026045
3
26
45
But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.
field: 3026046

26
46
These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

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.
field: 3027003
3
27
3
And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
field: 3027004
3
27
4
And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.
field: 3027005
3
27
5
And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
field: 3027006
3
27
6
And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.
field: 3027007
3
27
7
And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
field: 3027008
3
27
8
But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.
field: 3027009
3
27
9
And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy.
field: 3027010
3
27
10
He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.
field: 3027011
3
27
11
And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest:
field: 3027012
3
27
12
And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.
field: 3027013
3
27
13
But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.
field: 3027014
3
27
14
And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.
field: 3027015
3
27
15
And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.
field: 3027016
3
27
16
And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
field: 3027017
3
27
17
If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy estimation it shall stand.
field: 3027018
3
27
18
But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubilee, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.
field: 3027019
3
27
19
And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.
field: 3027020
3
27
20
And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.
field: 3027021
3
27
21
But the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.
field: 3027022
3
27
22
And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;
field: 3027023
3
27
23
Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubilee: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD.
field: 3027024
3
27
24
In the year of the jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.
field: 3027025
3
27
25
And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
field: 3027026
3
27
26
Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the LORD's.
field: 3027027
3
27
27
And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.
field: 3027028
3
27
28
Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD.
field: 3027029
3
27
29
None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.
field: 3027030
3
27
30
And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's: it is holy unto the LORD.
field: 3027031
3
27
31
And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.
field: 3027032
3
27
32
And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.
field: 3027033
3
27
33
He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead:

Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.

And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.
field: 4005005

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 4005006

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;
field: 4005007
4
5
7
Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.
field: 4005008
4
5

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.

And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.

And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 4005012
4
5
12
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
field: 4005013
4
5
13
And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner;

14
And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
field: 4005015
4
5
15
Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
field: 4005016
4
5
16
And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD:
field: 4005017

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:
field: 4005018
4
5
18
And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:
field: 4005019
4
5
19
And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:
field: 4005020
4
5
20
But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:
field: 4005021
4
5
21
Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;
field: 4005022
4
5
22
And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
field: 4005023
4
5
23
And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water:
field: 4005024
4
5
24
And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter.
field: 4005025
4
5
25
Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the altar:
field: 4005026
4
5
26
And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.
field: 4005027
4
5
27
And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.
field: 4005028
4
5
28
And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
field: 4005029

29
This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled;
field: 4005030
4
5
30
Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.

Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

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:

6
3
He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.
field: 4006004
4
6
4
All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.
field: 4006005
4
6
5
All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
field: 4006006
4
6
6
All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body.
field: 4006007
4
6
7
He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God is upon his head.
field: 4006008
4
6
8
All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD.
field: 4006009
4
6
9
And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.
field: 4006010
4
6
10
And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
field: 4006011
4
6
11
And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.
field: 4006012
4
6
12
And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.
field: 4006013
4
6
13
And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
field: 4006014
4
6
14
And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,
field: 4006015
4
6
15
And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings.
field: 4006016
4
6
16
And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:
field: 4006017
4
6
17
And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink offering.
field: 4006018
4
6
18
And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.
field: 4006019
4
6
19
And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after the hair of his separation is shaven:
field: 4006020
4
6
20
And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: this is holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine.
field: 4006021
4
6
21
This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, and of his offering unto the LORD for his separation, beside that that his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
field: 4006024

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:

Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.

This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:

And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more:

Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.

In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.

And 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:
field: 4009007
4
9
7
And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel?

And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 4009010
4
9
10
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.
field: 4009011
4
9
11
The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
field: 4009012

12
They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.
field: 4009013
4
9
13
But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
field: 4009014
4

14
And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.

So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.

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.

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.

And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.

When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.

When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.

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.

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.
field: 4010010
4
10
10
Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.

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.
field: 4010012
4
10
12
And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
field: 4010013
4
10
13
And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
field: 4010014
4
10
14
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.
field: 4010015

10
15
And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar.

10
16
And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.
field: 4010017
4
10
17
And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
field: 4010018
4
10
18
And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.
field: 4010019

And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
field: 4010021

And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other did set up the tabernacle against they came.
field: 4010022
4
10
22
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.
field: 4010023

10
23
And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
field: 4010024

10
24
And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.
field: 4010025
4
10
25
And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, which was the rearward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
field: 4010026
4
10
26
And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran.

28
Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.
field: 4010029

10
29
And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.
field: 4010030
4
10
30
And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.
field: 4010031
4
10
31
And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.
field: 4010032
4
10
32
And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.
field: 4010033
4
10
33
And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them.
field: 4010034
4
10
34
And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.
field: 4010035
4
10
35
And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.
field: 4010036
4
10
36
And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel.
field: 4011001
4
11
1
And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
field: 4011002
4
11
2
And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.
field: 4011003
4
11
3
And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
field: 4011004
4
11
4
And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
field: 4011005
4
11
5
We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:
field: 4011006
4
11
6
But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.
field: 4011007
4
11
7
And the manna was as coriander seed, and the color thereof as the color of bdellium.
field: 4011008
4
11
8
And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
field: 4011009
4
11
9
And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
field: 4011010
4
11
10
Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
field: 4011011
4
11
11
And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
field: 4011012
4
11
12
Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?
field: 4011013
4
11
13
Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
field: 4011014
4
11
14
I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
field: 4011015
4
11
15
And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favor in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
field: 4011016
4
11
16
And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.
field: 4011017
4
11
17
And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
field: 4011018
4
11
18
And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
field: 4011019
4
11
19
Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
field: 4011020
4
11
20
But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
field: 4011021
4
11
21
And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
field: 4011022
4
11
22
Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
field: 4011023
4
11
23
And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD's hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
field: 4011024
4
11
24
And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle.
field: 4011025
4
11
25
And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
field: 4011026
4
11
26
But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
field: 4011027
4
11
27
And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
field: 4011028
4
11
28
And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
field: 4011029
4
11
29
And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD's people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!
field: 4011030
4
11
30
And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
field: 4011031
4
11
31
And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.
field: 4011032
4
11
32
And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
field: 4011033
4
11
33
And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
field: 4011034
4
11
34
And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.
field: 4011035
4
11
35
And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
field: 4012001

12
1
And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
field: 4012002
4
12
2
And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
field: 4012003
4
12
3
(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
field: 4012004
4
12
4
And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.
field: 4012005
4
12
5
And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.
field: 4012006
4
12
6
And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
field: 4012007
4
12
7
My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
field: 4012008
4
12
8
With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
field: 4012009
4
12
9
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.
field: 4012010
4
12
10
And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
field: 4012011
4
12
11
And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
field: 4012012
4
12
12
Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.
field: 4012013
4
12
13
And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.
field: 4012014
4
12
14
And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.
field: 4012015
4
12
15
And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
field: 4012016
4
12
16
And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
field: 4013001
4
13
1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 4013002
4
13
2
Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
field: 4013003
4
13
3
And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.
field: 4013004
4
13
4
And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
field: 4013005
4
13
5
Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
field: 4013006
4

Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
field: 4013008
4
13

Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
field: 4013009

Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
field: 4013010

13
10
Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
field: 4013011

Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
field: 4013012

13
12
Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
field: 4013013
4
13
13
Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
field: 4013014
4
13
14
Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
field: 4013015
4
13
15
Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
field: 4013016
4
13
16
These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
field: 4013017
4
13
17
And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:
field: 4013018
4
13
18
And see the land, what it is, and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
field: 4013019
4
13
19
And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
field: 4013020
4
13
20
And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.
field: 4013021
4
13
21
So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
field: 4013022
4
13
22
And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
field: 4013023
4
13
23
And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
field: 4013024
4
13
24
The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
field: 4013025
4
13
25
And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
field: 4013026
4
13
26
And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
field: 4013027
4
13
27
And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
field: 4013028
4
13
28
Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
field: 4013029
4
13
29
The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
field: 4013030
4
13
30
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
field: 4013031
4
13
31
But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
field: 4013032
4
13
32
And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
field: 4013033
4
13
33
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
field: 4014001
4
14
1
And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
field: 4014002
4
14
2
And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
field: 4014003
4
14
3
And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
field: 4014004
4
14
4
And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
field: 4014005
4
14
5
Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
field: 4014006
4
14
6
And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
field: 4014007
4
14
7
And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
field: 4014008
4
14
8
If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
field: 4014009
4
14
9
Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
field: 4014010
4
14
10
But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.
field: 4014011
4
14
11
And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have showed among them?
field: 4014012
4
14
12
I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
field: 4014013
4
14
13
And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)
field: 4014014
4
14
14
And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
field: 4014015
4
14
15
Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
field: 4014016
4
14
16
Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
field: 4014017
4
14
17
And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
field: 4014018
4
14
18
The LORD is long-suffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
field: 4014019
4
14
19
Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
field: 4014020
4
14
20
And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
field: 4014021
4
14
21
But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
field: 4014022
4
14
22
Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
field: 4014023
4
14
23
Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
field: 4014024
4
14
24
But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
field: 4014027
4
14
27
How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
field: 4014028
4
14
28
Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
field: 4014029
4
14
29
Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.
field: 4014030
4
14
30
Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
field: 4014031
4
14
31
But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
field: 4014032
4
14
32
But as for you, your carcasses, they shall fall in this wilderness.
field: 4014033
4
14
33
And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness.
field: 4014034
4
14
34
After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
field: 4014035
4
14
35
I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
field: 4014036
4
14
36
And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,
field: 4014037
4
14
37
Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
field: 4014038
4
14
38
But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
field: 4014039
4
14
39
And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
field: 4014040
4
14
40
And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.
field: 4014041
4
14
41
And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
field: 4014042
4
14
42
Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
field: 4014043
4
14
43
For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
field: 4014044
4
14
44
But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
field: 4014045
4
14
45
Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.
field: 4015001
4
15
1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 4015002
4
15
2
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,
field: 4015003
4
15
3
And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savor unto the LORD, of the herd or of the flock:
field: 4015004
4
15
4
Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of oil.
field: 4015005
4
15
5
And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.
field: 4015006
4
15
6
Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.
field: 4015007
4
15
7
And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savor unto the LORD.
field: 4015008
4
15
8
And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD:
field: 4015009
4
15
9
Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.
field: 4015010
4
15
10
And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD.
field: 4015011
4
15
11
Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid.
field: 4015012
4
15
12
According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.
field: 4015013
4
15
13
All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD.
field: 4015014
4
15
14
And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.
field: 4015015
4
15
15
One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
field: 4015016
4
15
16
One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
field: 4015017
4
15
17
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 4015018
4
15
18
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,
field: 4015019
4
15
19
Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.
field: 4015020
4
15
20
Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it.
field: 4015021
4
15
21
Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave offering in your generations.
field: 4015022
4
15
22
And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,
field: 4015023
4
15
23
Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations;
field: 4015024
4
15
24
Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savor unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.
field: 4015025
4
15
25
And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:
field: 4015026
4
15
26
And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance.
field: 4015027
4
15
27
And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.
field: 4015028
4
15
28
And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.
field: 4015029
4
15
29
Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.
field: 4015030
4
15
30
But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
field: 4015031
4
15
31
Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.
field: 4015032
4
15
32
And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
field: 4015033
4
15
33
And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
field: 4015034
4
15
34
And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.
field: 4015035
4
15
35
And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.
field: 4015036
4
15
36
And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 4015037
4
15
37
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 4015038
4
15
38
Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:
field: 4015039
4
15
39
And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
field: 4015040
4
15
40
That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.
field: 4015041
4
15
41
I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God.
field: 4016001

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:
field: 4016002
4
16
2
And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:
field: 4016003
4
16
3
And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?
field: 4016004
4
16
4
And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
field: 4016005
4
16
5
And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will show 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.
field: 4016006
4
16
6
This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
field: 4016007
4
16
7
And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
field: 4016008
4
16
8
And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
field: 4016009
4
16
9
Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?
field: 4016010
4
16
10
And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?
field: 4016011
4
16
11
For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?
field: 4016012
4
16
12
And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:
field: 4016013
4
16
13
Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?
field: 4016014
4
16
14
Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
field: 4016015
4
16
15
And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
field: 4016016
4
16
16
And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
field: 4016017
4
16
17
And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.
field: 4016018
4
16
18
And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.
field: 4016019
4
16
19
And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.
field: 4016020
4
16
20
And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
field: 4016021
4
16
21
Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
field: 4016022
4
16
22
And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?
field: 4016023
4
16
23
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 4016024
4
16
24
Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
field: 4016025
4
16
25
And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
field: 4016026
4
16
26
And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.
field: 4016027
4
16
27
So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.
field: 4016028
4
16
28
And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.
field: 4016029
4
16
29
If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me.
field: 4016030
4
16
30
But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.
field: 4016031
4
16
31
And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:
field: 4016032
4
16
32
And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
field: 4016033
4
16
33
They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.
field: 4016034
4
16
34
And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.
field: 4016035
4
16
35
And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
field: 4016036
4
16
36
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 4016037
4
16
37
Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.
field: 4016038
4
16
38
The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.
field: 4016039
4
16
39
And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:
field: 4016040
4
16
40
To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.
field: 4016041
4
16
41
But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD.
field: 4016042
4
16
42
And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.
field: 4016043
4
16
43
And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.
field: 4016044
4
16
44
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 4016045
4
16
45
Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
field: 4016046
4
16
46
And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.
field: 4016047
4
16
47
And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.
field: 4016048
4
16
48
And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
field: 4016049
4
16
49
Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.
field: 4016050
4
16
50
And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
field: 4017001
4
17
1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 4017002
4
17
2
Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod.
field: 4017003
4
17
3
And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.
field: 4017004
4
17
4
And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
field: 4017005
4
17
5
And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.
field: 4017006
4
17
6
And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
field: 4017007
4
17
7
And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.
field: 4017008
4
17
8
And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.
field: 4017009
4
17
9
And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
field: 4017010
4
17
10
And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.
field: 4017011
4
17
11
And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
field: 4017012
4
17
12
And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
field: 4017013
4
17
13
Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
field: 4018001
4
18
1
And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
field: 4018002
4
18
2
And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister before the tabernacle of witness.
field: 4018003
4
18
3
And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.
field: 4018004
4
18
4
And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.
field: 4018005
4
18
5
And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.
field: 4018006
4
18
6
And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
field: 4018007
4
18
7
Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office for everything of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
field: 4018008
4
18
8
And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.
field: 4018009
4
18
9
This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.
field: 4018010
4
18
10
In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.
field: 4018011
4
18
11
And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.
field: 4018012
4
18
12
All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given thee.
field: 4018013
4
18

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.
field: 4018014

18
14
Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.
field: 4018015
4
18
15
Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.
field: 4018016
4
18
16
And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.
field: 4018017
4
18
17
But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor unto the LORD.
field: 4018018
4
18
18
And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.
field: 4018019

18
19
All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.
field: 4018020
4
18
20
And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.
field: 4018021
4
18
21
And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
field: 4018022
4
18
22
Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.
field: 4018023
4
18
23
But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.
field: 4018024
4
18
24
But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
field: 4018025
4
18
25
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 4018026
4
18
26
Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.
field: 4018027
4
18
27
And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.
field: 4018028
4
18
28
Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest.
field: 4018029
4
18
29
Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.
field: 4018030
4
18
30
Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.
field: 4018031
4
18
31
And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.
field: 4018032
4
18
32
And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.

And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
field: 4019002
4
19
2
This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:
field: 4019003
4
19
3
And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:
field: 4019004
4
19
4
And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:
field: 4019005
4
19
5
And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
field: 4019006
4
19
6
And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
field: 4019007
4
19
7
Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even.
field: 4019008
4
19
8
And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
field: 4019009
4
19
9
And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.
field: 4019010
4
19
10
And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.
field: 4019011
4
19
11
He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
field: 4019012
4
19
12
He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
field: 4019013
4
19
13
Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
field: 4019014
4
19
14
This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
field: 4019015
4
19
15
And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.
field: 4019016
4
19
16
And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
field: 4019017
4
19
17
And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:
field: 4019018
4
19
18
And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:
field: 4019019
4
19
19
And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
field: 4019020
4
19
20
But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.
field: 4019021
4
19
21
And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.
field: 4019022
4
19
22
And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.

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.
field: 4020002
4
20
2
And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
field: 4020003
4
20
3
And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!
field: 4020004
4
20
4
And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
field: 4020005
4
20
5
And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.
field: 4020006
4

6
And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.
field: 4020007
4
20
7
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 4020008
4
20
8
Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
field: 4020009
4
20
9
And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
field: 4020010
4
20
10
And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
field: 4020011
4
20
11
And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
field: 4020012
4
20
12
And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
field: 4020013
4
20
13
This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
field: 4020014
4
20
14
And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:
field: 4020015
4
20
15
How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:
field: 4020016
4
20
16
And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:
field: 4020017
4
20
17
Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king's high way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.
field: 4020018
4
20
18
And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
field: 4020019
4
20
19
And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing anything else, go through on my feet.
field: 4020020
4
20
20
And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
field: 4020021
4
20
21
Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
field: 4020022
4
20
22
And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.
field: 4020023
4
20
23
And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
field: 4020024
4
20
24
Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.
field: 4020025
4
20
25
Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:
field: 4020026
4
20
26
And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there.
field: 4020027
4
20
27
And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
field: 4020028
4
20
28
And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.
field: 4020029
4
20
29
And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.

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.
field: 4021002
4
21
2
And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
field: 4021003
4
21
3
And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.
field: 4021004
4
21
4
And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
field: 4021005
4
21
5
And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
field: 4021006
4
21
6
And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
field: 4021007
4
21
7
Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
field: 4021008
4
21
8
And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
field: 4021009
4
21
9
And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
field: 4021010
4
21
10
And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.
field: 4021011
4
21
11
And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
field: 4021012
4
21
12
From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
field: 4021013
4
21
13
From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
field: 4021014
4
21
14
Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
field: 4021015
4
21
15
And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.
field: 4021016
4
21
16
And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
field: 4021017
4
21
17
Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
field: 4021018
4
21
18
The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah:
field: 4021019
4
21
19
And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
field: 4021020
4
21
20
And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
field: 4021021
4
21
21
And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
field: 4021022
4
21
22
Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go along by the king's high way, until we be past thy borders.
field: 4021023
4
21
23
And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
field: 4021024
4
21
24
And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
field: 4021025
4
21
25
And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
field: 4021026
4
21
26
For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.
field: 4021027
4
21
27
Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
field: 4021028
4
21
28
For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon.
field: 4021029
4
21
29
Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
field: 4021030
4
21
30
We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.
field: 4021031
4
21
31
Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
field: 4021032
4
21
32
And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
field: 4021033
4
21
33
And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
field: 4021034
4
21
34
And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
field: 4021035
4
21
35
So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
field: 4022001
4
22
1
And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.
field: 4022002
4
22
2
And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
field: 4022003
4
22
3
And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
field: 4022004
4
22
4
And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.
field: 4022005
4
22
5
He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:
field: 4022006
4
22
6
Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
field: 4022007
4
22
7
And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.
field: 4022008
4
22
8
And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
field: 4022009
4
22
9
And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?
field: 4022010
4
22
10
And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,
field: 4022011
4
22
11
Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.
field: 4022012
4
22
12
And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.
field: 4022013
4
22
13
And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you.
field: 4022014
4
22
14
And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
field: 4022015
4
22
15
And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they.
field: 4022016
4
22
16
And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me:
field: 4022017
4
22
17
For I will promote thee unto very great honor, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
field: 4022018
4
22
18
And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.
field: 4022019
4
22
19
Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more.
field: 4022020
4
22
20
And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.
field: 4022021
4
22
21
And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
field: 4022022
4
22
22
And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.
field: 4022023
4
22
23
And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.
field: 4022024
4
22
24
But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
field: 4022025
4
22
25
And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
field: 4022026

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.
field: 4022027
4
22
27
And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
field: 4022028
4
22
28
And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
field: 4022029
4
22
29
And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
field: 4022030
4
22
30
And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.
field: 4022031
4
22
31
Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
field: 4022032
4
22
32
And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:
field: 4022033
4
22
33
And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.
field: 4022034
4
22
34
And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again.
field: 4022035
4
22
35
And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
field: 4022036
4
22
36
And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost coast.
field: 4022037
4
22
37
And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honor?
field: 4022038
4
22
38
And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.
field: 4022039
4
22
39
And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.
field: 4022040
4
22
40
And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
field: 4022041
4
22
41
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost part of the people.
field: 4023001
4
23
1
And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
field: 4023002
4
23
2
And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
field: 4023003
4
23
3
And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he showeth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.
field: 4023004
4
23
4
And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram.
field: 4023005
4
23
5
And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
field: 4023006
4
23
6
And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.
field: 4023007
4
23
7
And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
field: 4023008
4
23
8
How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?
field: 4023009
4
23
9
For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
field: 4023010
4
23
10
Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!
field: 4023011
4
23
11
And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
field: 4023012
4
23
12
And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?
field: 4023013
4
23
13
And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.
field: 4023014
4
23
14
And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
field: 4023015
4
23
15
And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder.
field: 4023016
4
23
16
And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.
field: 4023017
4
23
17
And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD spoken?
field: 4023018
4
23
18
And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
field: 4023019
4
23
19
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
field: 4023020
4
23
20
Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
field: 4023021
4
23
21
He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.
field: 4023022
4
23
22
God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
field: 4023023
4
23
23
Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
field: 4023024
4
23
24
Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
field: 4023025
4
23
25
And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
field: 4023026
4
23
26
But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
field: 4023027
4
23
27
And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.
field: 4023028
4
23
28
And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.
field: 4023029
4
23
29
And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
field: 4023030
4
23
30
And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
field: 4024001
4
24
1
And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
field: 4024002
4
24
2
And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.
field: 4024003
4
24
3
And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
field: 4024004
4
24
4
He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
field: 4024005
4
24
5
How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!
field: 4024006
4
24
6
As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.
field: 4024007
4
24
7
He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
field: 4024008
4
24
8
God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
field: 4024009
4
24
9
He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
field: 4024010
4
24
10
And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.
field: 4024011
4
24
11
Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honor; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honor.
field: 4024012
4
24
12
And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
field: 4024013
4
24
13
If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?
field: 4024014
4
24
14
And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
field: 4024015
4
24
15
And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
field: 4024016
4
24
16
He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
field: 4024017
4
24
17
I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
field: 4024018
4
24
18
And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
field: 4024019
4
24
19
Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
field: 4024020
4
24
20
And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.
field: 4024021
4
24
21
And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwelling place, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
field: 4024022
4
24
22
Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
field: 4024023
4
24
23
And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
field: 4024024
4
24
24
And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
field: 4024025
4
24
25
And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
field: 4025001
4
25
1
And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
field: 4025002
4
25
2
And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
field: 4025003
4
25
3
And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
field: 4025004
4
25
4
And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
field: 4025005
4
25
5
And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
field: 4025006
4
25
6
And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
field: 4025007
4
25
7
And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
field: 4025008
4
25
8
And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
field: 4025009
4
25
9
And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
field: 4025010
4
25
10
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 4025011
4
25
11
Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
field: 4025012
4
25
12
Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
field: 4025013
4
25
13
And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
field: 4025014

25
14
Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.
field: 4025015

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.
field: 4025016
4
25
16
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 4025017
4
25
17
Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
field: 4025018
4
25
18
For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.
field: 4026001

And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,

2
Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, throughout their fathers' house, all that are able to go to war in Israel.

And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,

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.

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.

17
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
field: 4031018
4
31
18
But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
field: 4031019
4
31
19
And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
field: 4031020
4
31
20
And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.
field: 4031021

21
And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;
field: 4031022
4
31
22
Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
field: 4031023
4
31
23
Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.
field: 4031024
4
31
24
And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
field: 4031025
4
31
25
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 4031026
4
31
26
Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
field: 4031027
4
31
27
And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
field: 4031028
4
31
28
And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
field: 4031029
4
31
29
Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD.
field: 4031030
4
31
30
And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.
field: 4031031
4
31
31
And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 4031032
4
31
32
And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
field: 4031033
4
31
33
And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
field: 4031034
4
31
34
And threescore and one thousand asses,
field: 4031035
4
31
35
And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.
field: 4031036
4
31
36
And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:
field: 4031037
4
31
37
And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
field: 4031038
4
31
38
And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was threescore and twelve.
field: 4031039
4
31
39
And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD's tribute was threescore and one.
field: 4031040
4
31
40
And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was thirty and two persons.
field: 4031041
4
31
41
And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 4031042
4
31
42
And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,
field: 4031043
4
31
43
(Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
field: 4031044
4
31
44
And thirty and six thousand beeves,
field: 4031045
4
31
45
And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
field: 4031046
4
31
46
And sixteen thousand persons;)
field: 4031047
4
31
47
Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 4031048
4
31
48
And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
field: 4031049
4
31
49
And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
field: 4031050
4
31
50
We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.
field: 4031051
4
31
51
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
field: 4031052
4
31
52
And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
field: 4031053
4
31
53
(For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
field: 4031054
4
31
54
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
field: 4032001

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;
field: 4032002
4
32
2
The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,
field: 4032003
4
32
3
Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
field: 4032004
4
32
4
Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
field: 4032005
4
32
5
Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.
field: 4032006
4
32
6
And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
field: 4032007
4
32
7
And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
field: 4032008
4
32
8
Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land.
field: 4032009
4
32
9
For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
field: 4032010
4
32
10
And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,
field: 4032011
4
32
11
Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
field: 4032012
4
32
12
Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
field: 4032013
4
32
13
And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.
field: 4032014
4
32
14
And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
field: 4032015
4
32
15
For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
field: 4032016
4
32
16
And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
field: 4032017
4
32
17
But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
field: 4032018
4
32
18
We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
field: 4032019
4
32
19
For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.
field: 4032020
4
32
20
And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,
field: 4032021
4
32
21
And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
field: 4032022
4
32
22
And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.
field: 4032023
4
32
23
But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
field: 4032024
4
32
24
Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
field: 4032025
4
32
25
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
field: 4032026
4
32
26
Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
field: 4032027
4
32
27
But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord saith.
field: 4032028
4
32
28
So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:
field: 4032029
4
32
29
And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:
field: 4032030
4
32
30
But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
field: 4032031
4
32
31
And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
field: 4032032
4
32
32
We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.
field: 4032033
4
32
33
And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.
field: 4032034
4
32
34
And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
field: 4032035
4
32
35
And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
field: 4032036
4
32
36
And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.
field: 4032037
4
32
37
And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
field: 4032038
4
32
38
And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.
field: 4032039
4
32
39
And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.
field: 4032040
4
32
40
And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
field: 4032041
4
32
41
And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havothjair.
field: 4032042
4
32
42
And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
field: 4033001

1
These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.
field: 4033002
4
33
2
And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according to their goings out.
field: 4033003
4
33
3
And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.
field: 4033004
4
33
4
For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.
field: 4033005
4
33
5
And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.
field: 4033006
4
33
6
And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.
field: 4033007
4
33
7
And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pihahiroth, which is before Baalzephon: and they pitched before Migdol.
field: 4033008
4
33
8
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.
field: 4033009
4
33
9
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.
field: 4033010
4
33
10
And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.
field: 4033011
4
33
11
And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin.
field: 4033012
4
33
12
And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped in Dophkah.
field: 4033013
4
33
13
And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.
field: 4033014

33
14
And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no water for the people to drink.

And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of Sinai.

And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.
field: 4033022
4
33
22
And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.
field: 4033023
4
33
23
And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher.
field: 4033024
4
33
24
And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.
field: 4033025
4
33
25
And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.
field: 4033026
4
33
26
And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.

And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.
field: 4033028

And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.
field: 4033029
4
33

And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.
field: 4033030
4
33
30
And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.
field: 4033031

33
31
And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Benejaakan.
field: 4033032
4
33
32
And they removed from Benejaakan, and encamped at Horhagidgad.
field: 4033033
4
33
33
And they went from Horhagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.
field: 4033034
4
33
34
And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.
field: 4033035
4
33
35
And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Eziongaber.
field: 4033036
4
33
36
And they removed from Eziongaber, and pitched in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.
field: 4033037
4
33
37
And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.
field: 4033038
4
33
38
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.
field: 4033039
4
33
39
And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.
field: 4033040
4
33
40
And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.

4
33
45
And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad.

4
33
46
And they removed from Dibongad, and encamped in Almondiblathaim.
field: 4033047
4
33
47
And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.

And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

4
33
49
And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth even unto Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.
field: 4033050
4
33
50
And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
field: 4033051
4
33
51
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
field: 4033052
4
33
52
Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:
field: 4033053
4
33
53
And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.
field: 4033054
4
33
54
And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.
field: 4033055
4
33
55
But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
field: 4033056
4
33
56
Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.
field: 4034001
4
34
1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 4034002
4
34
2
Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)
field: 4034003
4
34
3
Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:
field: 4034004
4
34
4
And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:
field: 4034005
4
34
5
And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
field: 4034006
4
34
6
And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
field: 4034007
4
34
7
And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
field: 4034008
4
34
8
From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
field: 4034009
4
34
9
And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.
field: 4034010
4
34
10
And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham:
field: 4034011
4
34
11
And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:
field: 4034012
4
34
12
And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
field: 4034013
4
34
13
And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:

14
For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
field: 4034015

34
15
The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 4034017
4
34
17
These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
field: 4034018
4
34
18
And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
field: 4034019
4
34
19
And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
field: 4034020
4
34
20
And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
field: 4034021
4
34
21
Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
field: 4034022
4
34
22
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
field: 4034023
4
34
23
The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
field: 4034024
4
34
24
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
field: 4034025
4
34
25
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
field: 4034026
4
34
26
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
field: 4034027
4
34
27
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
field: 4034028
4
34
28
And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
field: 4034029

29
These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
field: 4035001
4
35
1
And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
field: 4035002
4
35
2
Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.
field: 4035003
4
35
3
And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
field: 4035004
4
35
4
And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
field: 4035005
4
35
5
And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
field: 4035006
4
35
6
And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.
field: 4035007
4
35
7
So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.
field: 4035008
4
35
8
And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
field: 4035009
4
35
9
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
field: 4035010
4
35
10
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
field: 4035011
4
35
11
Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.
field: 4035012
4
35
12
And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
field: 4035013
4
35
13
And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.
field: 4035014
4
35
14
Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
field: 4035015
4
35
15
These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
field: 4035016
4
35
16
And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
field: 4035017
4
35
17
And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
field: 4035018
4
35
18
Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
field: 4035019
4
35
19
The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
field: 4035020
4
35
20
But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;
field: 4035021
4
35
21
Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.
field: 4035022
4
35
22
But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,
field: 4035023
4
35
23
Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
field: 4035024
4
35
24
Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:
field: 4035025
4
35
25
And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
field: 4035026
4
35
26
But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;
field: 4035027
4
35
27
And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:
field: 4035028
4
35
28
Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
field: 4035029
4
35
29
So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
field: 4035030
4
35
30
Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.
field: 4035031
4
35
31
Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
field: 4035032
4
35
32
And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
field: 4035033
4
35
33
So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
field: 4035034
4
35
34
Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
field: 4036001

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:
field: 4036002
4
36
2
And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
field: 4036003
4
36
3
And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
field: 4036004
4
36
4
And when the jubilee 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.
field: 4036005
4
36
5
And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
field: 4036006
4
36
6
This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
field: 4036007
4
36
7
So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
field: 4036008
4
36
8
And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.
field: 4036009
4
36
9
Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
field: 4036010
4
36
10
Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
field: 4036011
4
36
11
For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:
field: 4036012
4
36
12
And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
field: 4036013

13
These are the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
field: 5001001

These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.

(There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)
field: 5001003
5

3
And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;
field: 5001004
5
1
4
After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
field: 5001005
5
1
5
On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
field: 5001006
5
1
6
The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:
field: 5001007
5
1
7
Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
field: 5001008
5
1
8
Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
field: 5001009
5
1
9
And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
field: 5001010
5
1
10
The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
field: 5001011
5
1
11
(The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)
field: 5001012
5
1
12
How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
field: 5001013
5
1
13
Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
field: 5001014
5
1
14
And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.
field: 5001015
5
1
15
So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
field: 5001016
5
1
16
And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
field: 5001017
5
1
17
Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.
field: 5001018
5
1
18
And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
field: 5001019
5
1
19
And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.
field: 5001020
5
1
20
And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us.
field: 5001021
5
1
21
Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
field: 5001022
5
1
22
And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
field: 5001023
5
1
23
And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:
field: 5001024
5
1
24
And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
field: 5001025
5
1
25
And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God doth give us.
field: 5001026
5
1
26
Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:
field: 5001027
5
1
27
And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
field: 5001028
5
1
28
Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.
field: 5001029
5
1
29
Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
field: 5001030
5
1
30
The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
field: 5001031
5
1
31
And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
field: 5001032
5
1
32
Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,
field: 5001033
5
1
33
Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
field: 5001034
5
1
34
And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
field: 5001035
5
1
35
Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers.
field: 5001036
5
1
36
Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.
field: 5001037
5
1
37
Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
field: 5001038
5
1
38
But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
field: 5001039
5
1
39
Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
field: 5001040
5
1
40
But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
field: 5001041
5
1
41
Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
field: 5001042
5
1
42
And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them. Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
field: 5001043
5
1
43
So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill.
field: 5001044
5
1
44
And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.
field: 5001045
5
1
45
And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
field: 5001046
5
1
46
So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.
field: 5002001
5
2
1
Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days.
field: 5002002
5
2
2
And the LORD spake unto me, saying,
field: 5002003
5
2
3
Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
field: 5002004
5
2
4
And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:
field: 5002005
5
2
5
Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.
field: 5002006
5
2
6
Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.
field: 5002007
5
2
7
For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
field: 5002008
5
2
8
And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
field: 5002009
5
2
9
And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.
field: 5002010
5
2
10
The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;
field: 5002011
5
2
11
Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims.
field: 5002012
5
2
12
The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the LORD gave unto them.
field: 5002013
5
2
13
Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
field: 5002014
5
2
14
And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them.
field: 5002015
5
2
15
For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.
field: 5002016
5
2
16
So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
field: 5002017
5
2
17
That the LORD spake unto me, saying,
field: 5002018
5
2
18
Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
field: 5002019
5
2
19
And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.
field: 5002020
5
2
20
(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
field: 5002021
5
2
21
A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:
field: 5002022
5
2
22
As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:
field: 5002023
5
2
23
And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
field: 5002024
5
2
24
Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
field: 5002025
5
2
25
This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.
field: 5002026
5
2
26
And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
field: 5002027
5
2
27
Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.
field: 5002028
5
2
28
Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;
field: 5002029
5
2
29
(As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.
field: 5002030
5
2
30
But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.
field: 5002031
5
2
31
And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.
field: 5002032
5
2
32
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
field: 5002033
5
2
33
And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
field: 5002034
5
2
34
And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
field: 5002035
5
2
35
Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
field: 5002036
5
2
36
From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto us:
field: 5002037
5
2
37
Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbade us.
field: 5003001
5
3
1
Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
field: 5003002
5
3
2
And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
field: 5003003
5
3
3
So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.
field: 5003004
5
3
4
And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
field: 5003005
5
3
5
All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many.
field: 5003006
5
3
6
And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.
field: 5003007
5
3
7
But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.
field: 5003008
5
3
8
And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon;
field: 5003009
5
3
9
(Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir;)
field: 5003010
5
3
10
All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
field: 5003011
5
3
11
For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
field: 5003012
5
3
12
And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
field: 5003013
5
3
13
And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.
field: 5003014
5
3
14
Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, Bashanhavothjair, unto this day.
field: 5003015
5
3
15
And I gave Gilead unto Machir.
field: 5003016
5
3
16
And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;
field: 5003017
5
3
17
The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof, from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under Ashdothpisgah eastward.
field: 5003018
5
3
18
And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war.
field: 5003019
5
3
19
But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for I know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have given you;
field: 5003020
5
3
20
Until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and until they also possess the land which the LORD your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given you.
field: 5003021
5
3
21
And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.
field: 5003022
5
3
22
Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you.
field: 5003023
5
3
23
And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,
field: 5003024
5
3
24
O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?
field: 5003025
5
3
25
I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.
field: 5003026
5
3
26
But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter.
field: 5003027
5
3
27
Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
field: 5003028
5
3
28
But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.
field: 5003029
5
3
29
So we abode in the valley over against Bethpeor.
field: 5004001
5
4
1
Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.
field: 5004002
5
4
2
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
field: 5004003
5
4
3
Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you.
field: 5004004
5
4
4
But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.
field: 5004005
5
4
5
Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.
field: 5004006
5
4
6
Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
field: 5004007
5
4
7
For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?
field: 5004008
5
4
8
And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
field: 5004009
5
4
9
Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;
field: 5004010
5
4
10
Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.
field: 5004011
5
4
11
And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.
field: 5004012
5
4
12
And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice.
field: 5004013
5
4
13
And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.
field: 5004014
5
4
14
And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.
field: 5004015
5
4
15
Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
field: 5004016
5
4
16
Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
field: 5004017
5
4
17
The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
field: 5004018
5
4
18
The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
field: 5004019
5
4
19
And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
field: 5004020
5
4
20
But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.
field: 5004021
5
4
21
Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance:
field: 5004022
5
4
22
But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.
field: 5004023
5
4
23
Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee.
field: 5004024
5
4
24
For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
field: 5004025
5
4
25
When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger:
field: 5004026
5
4
26
I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
field: 5004027
5
4
27
And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.
field: 5004028
5
4
28
And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
field: 5004029
5
4
29
But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
field: 5004030
5
4
30
When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
field: 5004031
5
4
31
(For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
field: 5004032
5
4
32
For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?
field: 5004033
5
4
33
Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
field: 5004034
5
4
34
Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
field: 5004035
5
4
35
Unto thee it was showed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.
field: 5004036
5
4
36
Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he showed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.
field: 5004037
5
4
37
And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;
field: 5004038
5
4
38
To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.
field: 5004039
5
4
39
Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
field: 5004040
5
4
40
Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.
field: 5004041

Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;
field: 5004042
5
4
42
That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbor unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:
field: 5004043
5
4
43
Namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.
field: 5004044
5
4
44
And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
field: 5004045
5
4
45
These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt.
field: 5004046
5
4
46
On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Bethpeor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come forth out of Egypt:
field: 5004047
5
4
47
And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;
field: 5004048
5
4
48
From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon,
field: 5004049
5
4
49
And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
field: 5005001
5
5

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.
field: 5005002
5
5
2
The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
field: 5005003
5
5
3
The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
field: 5005004
5
5
4
The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,
field: 5005005
5
5
5
(I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,
field: 5005006
5
5
6
I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
field: 5005007
5
5
7
Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
field: 5005008
5
5
8
Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
field: 5005009
5
5
9
Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
field: 5005010
5
5
10
And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
field: 5005011
5
5
11
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
field: 5005012
5
5
12
Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.
field: 5005013
5
5
13
Six days thou shalt labor, and do all thy work:
field: 5005014
5
5
14
But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
field: 5005015
5
5
15
And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
field: 5005016
5
5
16
Honor thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
field: 5005017
5
5
17
Thou shalt not kill.
field: 5005018
5
5
18
Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
field: 5005019
5
5
19
Neither shalt thou steal.
field: 5005020
5
5
20
Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor.
field: 5005021
5
5
21
Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbor's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbor's.
field: 5005022
5
5
22
These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.
field: 5005023
5
5
23
And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
field: 5005024
5
5
24
And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath showed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth.
field: 5005025
5
5
25
Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.
field: 5005026
5
5
26
For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
field: 5005027
5
5
27
Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.
field: 5005028
5
5
28
And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.
field: 5005029
5
5
29
O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!
field: 5005030
5
5
30
Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.
field: 5005031
5
5
31
But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
field: 5005032
5
5
32
Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
field: 5005033
5
5
33
Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
field: 5006001
5
6
1
Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
field: 5006002
5
6
2
That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
field: 5006003
5
6
3
Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
field: 5006004
5
6
4
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
field: 5006005
5
6
5
And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
field: 5006006
5
6
6
And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
field: 5006007
5
6
7
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
field: 5006008
5
6
8
And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
field: 5006009
5
6
9
And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
field: 5006010
5
6
10
And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,
field: 5006011
5
6
11
And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;
field: 5006012
5
6
12
Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
field: 5006014
5
6
14
Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;
field: 5006015
5
6
15
(For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
field: 5006016
5
6
16
Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
field: 5006017
5
6
17
Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
field: 5006018
5
6
18
And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers.
field: 5006019
5

19
To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.
field: 5006020
5

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?
field: 5006021
5
6
21
Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:
field: 5006022
5
6
22
And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:
field: 5006023
5
6
23
And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
field: 5006024
5
6
24
And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.
field: 5006025
5
6
25
And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.
field: 5007001
5

1
When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
field: 5007002
5
7
2
And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them:
field: 5007003
5
7
3
Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
field: 5007004
5
7
4
For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
field: 5007005
5
7
5
But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
field: 5007006
5
7
6
For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
field: 5007007
5
7
7
The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
field: 5007008
5
7
8
But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
field: 5007009
5
7
9
Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
field: 5007010
5
7
10
And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
field: 5007011
5
7
11
Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
field: 5007012
5
7
12
Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
field: 5007013
5
7
13
And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
field: 5007014
5
7
14
Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
field: 5007015
5
7
15
And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
field: 5007016
5
7
16
And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
field: 5007017
5
7
17
If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
field: 5007018
5
7
18
Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
field: 5007019
5
7
19
The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
field: 5007020
5
7
20
Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
field: 5007021
5
7
21
Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.
field: 5007022
5
7
22
And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
field: 5007023
5
7
23
But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
field: 5007024
5
7
24
And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
field: 5007025
5
7
25
The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.
field: 5007026
5
7
26
Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
field: 5008001

1
All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.
field: 5008002
5
8
2
And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
field: 5008003
5
8
3
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
field: 5008004
5
8
4
Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
field: 5008005
5
8
5
Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
field: 5008006
5
8
6
Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
field: 5008007
5
8
7
For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
field: 5008008
5
8
8
A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
field: 5008009
5
8
9
A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
field: 5008010
5
8
10
When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
field: 5008011
5
8
11
Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
field: 5008012
5
8
12
Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
field: 5008013
5
8
13
And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
field: 5008014
5
8
14
Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
field: 5008015
5
8
15
Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
field: 5008016
5
8
16
Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
field: 5008017
5
8
17
And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
field: 5008018
5
8
18
But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
field: 5008019
5
8
19
And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
field: 5008020
5
8
20
As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.
field: 5009001

1
Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
field: 5009002
5
9
2
A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
field: 5009003
5
9
3
Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.
field: 5009004
5
9
4
Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.
field: 5009005
5
9
5
Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
field: 5009006
5
9
6
Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.
field: 5009007
5
9
7
Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.
field: 5009008
5
9
8
Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.
field: 5009009
5
9
9
When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:
field: 5009010
5
9
10
And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
field: 5009011
5
9
11
And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.
field: 5009012
5
9
12
And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
field: 5009013
5
9
13
Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
field: 5009014
5
9
14
Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
field: 5009015
5
9
15
So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
field: 5009016
5
9
16
And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.
field: 5009017
5
9
17
And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.
field: 5009018
5
9
18
And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
field: 5009019
5
9
19
For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.
field: 5009020
5
9
20
And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
field: 5009021
5
9
21
And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.
field: 5009022
5
9
22
And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath.
field: 5009023
5
9
23
Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
field: 5009024
5
9
24
Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
field: 5009025
5
9
25
Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
field: 5009026
5
9
26
I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
field: 5009027
5
9
27
Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
field: 5009028
5
9
28
Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.
field: 5009029
5
9
29
Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.
field: 5010001
5
10
1
At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood.
field: 5010002
5
10
2
And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.
field: 5010003
5
10
3
And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand.
field: 5010004
5
10
4
And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me.
field: 5010005
5
10
5
And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD commanded me.
field: 5010006
5
10
6
And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.
field: 5010007
5
10
7
From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.
field: 5010008
5
10
8
At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.
field: 5010009
5
10
9
Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him.
field: 5010010
5
10
10
And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also, and the LORD would not destroy thee.
field: 5010011
5
10
11
And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them.
field: 5010012
5
10
12
And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
field: 5010013
5
10
13
To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
field: 5010014
5
10
14
Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.
field: 5010015
5
10
15
Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.
field: 5010016
5
10
16
Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
field: 5010017
5
10
17
For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:
field: 5010018
5
10
18
He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
field: 5010019
5
10
19
Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
field: 5010020
5
10
20
Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
field: 5010021
5
10
21
He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.
field: 5010022
5
10
22
Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
field: 5011001
5
11
1
Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.
field: 5011002
5
11
2
And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,
field: 5011003
5
11
3
And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
field: 5011004
5
11
4
And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day;
field: 5011005
5
11
5
And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this place;
field: 5011006
5
11
6
And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:
field: 5011007
5
11
7
But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did.
field: 5011008
5
11
8
Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;
field: 5011009
5
11
9
And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
field: 5011010
5
11
10
For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
field: 5011011
5
11
11
But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
field: 5011012
5
11
12
A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
field: 5011013
5
11
13
And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
field: 5011014
5
11
14
That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
field: 5011015
5
11
15
And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.
field: 5011016
5
11
16
Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
field: 5011017
5
11
17
And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.
field: 5011018
5
11
18
Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
field: 5011019
5
11
19
And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
field: 5011020
5
11
20
And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:
field: 5011021
5
11
21
That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

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;
field: 5011023
5
11
23
Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.
field: 5011024
5
11
24
Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.
field: 5011025
5
11
25
There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
field: 5011026
5
11
26
Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
field: 5011027
5
11
27
A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:
field: 5011028
5
11
28
And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
field: 5011029
5
11
29
And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.
field: 5011030
5
11
30
Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?
field: 5011031
5
11
31
For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.
field: 5011032
5
11
32
And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.
field: 5012001
5
12
1
These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.
field: 5012002
5
12
2
Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
field: 5012003
5
12
3
And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.
field: 5012004
5
12
4
Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.
field: 5012005
5
12
5
But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:
field: 5012006
5
12
6
And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:
field: 5012007
5
12
7
And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.
field: 5012008
5
12
8
Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
field: 5012009
5
12
9
For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you.
field: 5012010
5
12
10
But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;
field: 5012011
5
12
11
Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:
field: 5012012
5
12
12
And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.
field: 5012013
5
12
13
Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest:
field: 5012014
5
12
14
But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.
field: 5012015
5
12
15
Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.
field: 5012016
5
12
16
Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.
field: 5012017
5
12
17
Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:
field: 5012018
5
12
18
But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.
field: 5012019
5
12
19
Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.
field: 5012020
5
12
20
When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
field: 5012021
5
12
21
If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
field: 5012022
5
12
22
Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.
field: 5012023
5
12
23
Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
field: 5012024
5
12
24
Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.
field: 5012025
5
12
25
Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.
field: 5012026
5
12
26
Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose:
field: 5012027
5
12
27
And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.
field: 5012028
5
12
28
Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.
field: 5012029
5
12
29
When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;
field: 5012030
5
12
30
Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
field: 5012031
5
12
31
Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
field: 5012032
5
12
32
What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
field: 5013001
5
13
1
If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
field: 5013002
5
13
2
And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
field: 5013003
5
13
3
Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
field: 5013004
5
13
4
Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
field: 5013005
5
13
5
And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
field: 5013006
5
13
6
If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
field: 5013007
5
13
7
Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;
field: 5013008
5
13
8
Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:
field: 5013009
5
13
9
But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
field: 5013010
5
13
10
And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
field: 5013011
5
13
11
And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.
field: 5013012
5
13
12
If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,
field: 5013013
5
13
13
Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;
field: 5013014
5
13
14
Then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you;
field: 5013015
5
13
15
Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.
field: 5013016
5
13
16
And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again.
field: 5013017
5
13
17
And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;
field: 5013018
5
13
18
When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.
field: 5014001
5
14
1
Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
field: 5014002
5
14
2
For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
field: 5014003
5
14
3
Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
field: 5014004
5
14
4
These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
field: 5014005
5
14
5
The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
field: 5014006
5
14
6
And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.
field: 5014007
5
14
7
Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.
field: 5014008
5
14
8
And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass.
field: 5014009
5
14
9
These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
field: 5014010
5
14
10
And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.
field: 5014011
5
14
11
Of all clean birds ye shall eat.
field: 5014012
5
14
12
But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
field: 5014013
5
14
13
And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
field: 5014014
5
14
14
And every raven after his kind,
field: 5014015
5
14
15
And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after his kind,
field: 5014016
5
14
16
The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
field: 5014017
5
14
17
And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
field: 5014018
5
14
18
And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
field: 5014019
5
14
19
And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.
field: 5014020
5
14
20
But of all clean fowls ye may eat.
field: 5014021
5
14
21
Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
field: 5014022
5
14
22
Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
field: 5014023
5
14
23
And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
field: 5014024
5
14
24
And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
field: 5014025
5
14
25
Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:
field: 5014026
5
14
26
And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
field: 5014027
5
14
27
And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
field: 5014028
5
14
28
At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:
field: 5014029
5
14
29
And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
field: 5015001
5
15
1
At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.
field: 5015002
5
15
2
And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbor shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbor, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD's release.
field: 5015003
5
15
3
Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;
field: 5015004
5
15
4
Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it:
field: 5015005
5
15
5
Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.
field: 5015006
5
15
6
For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.
field: 5015007
5
15
7
If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:
field: 5015008
5
15
8
But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
field: 5015009
5
15
9
Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee.
field: 5015010
5
15
10
Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.
field: 5015011
5
15
11
For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
field: 5015012
5
15
12
And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.
field: 5015013
5
15
13
And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty:
field: 5015014
5
15
14
Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.
field: 5015015
5
15
15
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day.
field: 5015016
5
15
16
And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee;
field: 5015017
5
15
17
Then thou shalt take an awl, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.
field: 5015018
5
15
18
It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired servant to thee, in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.
field: 5015019
5
15
19
All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.
field: 5015020
5
15
20
Thou shalt eat it before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.
field: 5015021
5
15
21
And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the LORD thy God.
field: 5015022
5
15
22
Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.
field: 5015023
5
15
23
Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.
field: 5016001
5
16
1
Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.
field: 5016002
5
16
2
Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.
field: 5016003
5
16
3
Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.
field: 5016004
5
16
4
And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.
field: 5016005
5
16
5
Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee:
field: 5016006
5
16
6
But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.
field: 5016007
5
16
7
And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.
field: 5016008
5
16
8
Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work therein.
field: 5016009
5
16
9
Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn.
field: 5016010
5
16
10
And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
field: 5016011
5
16
11
And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.
field: 5016012
5
16
12
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
field: 5016013
5
16
13
Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:
field: 5016014
5
16
14
And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
field: 5016015
5
16
15
Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
field: 5016016

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:
field: 5016017

16
17
Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
field: 5016018
5
16
18
Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.
field: 5016019
5
16
19
Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
field: 5016020
5
16
20
That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
field: 5016021
5
16
21
Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee.
field: 5016022
5
16
22
Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the LORD thy God hateth.
field: 5017001
5
17
1
Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, or any evilfavouredness: for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
field: 5017002
5
17
2
If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,
field: 5017003
5
17
3
And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
field: 5017004
5
17
4
And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and inquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:
field: 5017005
5
17
5
Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
field: 5017006
5
17
6
At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
field: 5017007
5
17
7
The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.
field: 5017008
5
17
8
If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;
field: 5017009
5
17
9
And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and inquire; and they shall show thee the sentence of judgment:
field: 5017010
5
17
10
And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall show thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee:
field: 5017011
5
17
11
According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall show thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.
field: 5017012
5
17
12
And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.
field: 5017013
5
17
13
And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
field: 5017014
5
17
14
When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;
field: 5017015
5
17
15
Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.
field: 5017016
5
17
16
But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
field: 5017017
5
17
17
Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
field: 5017018
5
17
18
And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
field: 5017019
5
17
19
And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:
field: 5017020
5
17
20
That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.
field: 5018001
5
18
1
The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.
field: 5018002
5
18
2
Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
field: 5018003
5
18
3
And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
field: 5018004
5
18
4
The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
field: 5018005
5
18
5
For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.
field: 5018006
5
18
6
And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose;
field: 5018007
5
18
7
Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD.
field: 5018008
5
18
8
They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
field: 5018009
5
18
9
When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
field: 5018010
5
18
10
There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
field: 5018011
5
18
11
Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
field: 5018012
5
18
12
For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
field: 5018013
5
18
13
Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
field: 5018014
5
18
14
For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
field: 5018015
5
18
15
The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
field: 5018016
5
18
16
According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
field: 5018017
5
18
17
And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
field: 5018018
5
18
18
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
field: 5018019
5
18
19
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
field: 5018020
5
18
20
But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
field: 5018021
5
18
21
And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
field: 5018022
5
18
22
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
field: 5019001

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;
field: 5019002
5
19
2
Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
field: 5019003
5
19
3
Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.
field: 5019004
5
19
4
And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbor ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;
field: 5019005
5
19
5
As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbor, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:
field: 5019006
5
19
6
Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.
field: 5019007
5
19
7
Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee.
field: 5019008
5
19
8
And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;
field: 5019009
5
19
9
If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:
field: 5019010
5
19
10
That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.
field: 5019011
5
19
11
But if any man hate his neighbor, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:
field: 5019012
5
19
12
Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
field: 5019013
5
19
13
Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.
field: 5019014
5
19
14
Thou shalt not remove thy  neighbor's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
field: 5019015
5
19
15
One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
field: 5019016
5
19
16
If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;
field: 5019017
5
19
17
Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
field: 5019018
5
19
18
And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;
field: 5019019
5
19
19
Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
field: 5019020
5
19
20
And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
field: 5019021
5
19
21
And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
field: 5020001
5
20
1
When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
field: 5020002
5
20
2
And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,
field: 5020003
5
20
3
And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
field: 5020004
5
20
4
For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
field: 5020005
5
20
5
And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.
field: 5020006
5
20
6
And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it.
field: 5020007
5
20
7
And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.
field: 5020008
5
20
8
And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren's heart faint as well as his heart.
field: 5020009
5
20
9
And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.
field: 5020010
5
20
10
When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it.
field: 5020011
5
20
11
And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.
field: 5020012
5
20
12
And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
field: 5020013
5
20
13
And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:
field: 5020014
5
20
14
But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
field: 5020015
5
20
15
Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.
field: 5020016
5
20
16
But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
field: 5020017
5
20
17
But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:
field: 5020018
5
20
18
That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God.
field: 5020019
5
20
19
When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to employ them in the siege:
field: 5020020
5
20
20
Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.
field: 5021001
5
21
1
If one be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him:
field: 5021002
5
21
2
Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain:
field: 5021003
5
21
3
And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke;
field: 5021004
5
21
4
And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley:
field: 5021005
5
21
5
And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried:
field: 5021006
5
21
6
And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:
field: 5021007
5
21
7
And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
field: 5021008
5
21
8
Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
field: 5021009
5
21
9
So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.
field: 5021010
5
21
10
When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,
field: 5021011
5
21
11
And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;
field: 5021012
5
21
12
Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
field: 5021013
5
21
13
And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
field: 5021014
5
21
14
And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.
field: 5021015
5
21
15
If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:
field: 5021016
5
21
16
Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn:
field: 5021017
5
21
17
But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.
field: 5021018
5
21
18
If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:
field: 5021019
5
21
19
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;
field: 5021020
5
21
20
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.
field: 5021021
5
21
21
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.
field: 5021022
5
21
22
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:
field: 5021023
5
21
23
His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
field: 5022001
5
22
1
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.
field: 5022002
5
22
2
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.
field: 5022003
5
22
3
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.
field: 5022004
5
22
4
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.
field: 5022005
5
22
5
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.
field: 5022006
5
22
6
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:
field: 5022007
5
22
7
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.
field: 5022008
5
22
8
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.
field: 5022009
5
22
9
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.
field: 5022010
5
22
10
Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
field: 5022011
5
22
11
Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woolen and linen together.
field: 5022012
5
22
12
Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself.
field: 5022013
5
22
13
If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,
field: 5022014
5
22
14
And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:
field: 5022015
5
22
15
Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:
field: 5022016
5
22
16
And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
field: 5022017
5
22
17
And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
field: 5022018
5
22
18
And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
field: 5022019
5
22
19
And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
field: 5022020
5
22
20
But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:
field: 5022021
5
22
21
Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
field: 5022022
5
22
22
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.
field: 5022023
5
22
23
If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
field: 5022024
5
22
24
Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbor's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
field: 5022025
5
22
25
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.
field: 5022026
5
22
26
But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbor, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:
field: 5022027
5
22
27
For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
field: 5022028
5
22
28
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;
field: 5022029
5
22
29
Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt.

A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
field: 5023004
5
23
4
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.
field: 5023005
5
23
5
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.

6
Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
field: 5023007

The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation.

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:
field: 5023011

11
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.
field: 5023012
5
23
12
Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
field: 5023013
5
23
13
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:
field: 5023014
5
23
14
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.
field: 5023015
5

Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:

16
He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.

There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
field: 5023018

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.
field: 5023019
5
23
19
Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:
field: 5023020
5
23
20
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.
field: 5023021

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.
field: 5023022
5
23
22
But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
field: 5023023
5
23
23
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.

When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
field: 5024002
5
24
2
And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
field: 5024003
5
24
3
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;
field: 5024004
5
24
4
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.
field: 5024005

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.

When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
field: 5024011
5
24
11
Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
field: 5024012
5
24
12
And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:
field: 5024013
5
24
13
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.
field: 5024014
5
24
14
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:
field: 5024015
5
24
15
At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee.

The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

17
Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:
field: 5024018
5
24
18
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.
field: 5024019
5
24
19
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.
field: 5024020

When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

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.
field: 5025002

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.
field: 5025003

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.

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.
field: 5025006
5

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.

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.
field: 5025008

Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand to it, and say, I like not to take her;

Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house.

And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed.

When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:

Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.

Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.

Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.

But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.

Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt;

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.

And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:

And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:

And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labor, and our oppression:

And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:

And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.

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:

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.

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;

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:

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,

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

Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.

And 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:

Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;

But with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:

And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)

Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;

And 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:

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;

Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?

For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:

If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:

And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.

It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

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?
field: 5031018

31
18
And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods.
field: 5031019

19
Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
field: 5031020
5
31
20
For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.
field: 5031021
5
31
21
And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.

22
Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.
field: 5031023
5
31
23
And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee.
field: 5031024
5
31
24
And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,
field: 5031025
5
31
25
That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,
field: 5031026
5
31
26
Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.
field: 5031027
5
31
27
For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?
field: 5031028
5
31
28
Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.
field: 5031029
5
31
29
For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.
field: 5031030
5
31
30
And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.
field: 5032001
5
32
1
Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
field: 5032002
5
32
2
My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
field: 5032003
5
32
3
Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
field: 5032004

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.
field: 5032005
5
32
5
They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
field: 5032006
5
32
6
Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
field: 5032007
5
32
7
Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.

When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
field: 5032009

For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:

5
32
12
So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
field: 5032013
5
32
13
He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
field: 5032014
5
32
14
Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
field: 5032015
5
32
15
But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
field: 5032016
5
32
16
They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
field: 5032017
5
32
17
They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
field: 5032018
5
32
18
Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.

And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
field: 5032020
5
32
20
And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.
field: 5032021
5
32
21
They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

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.
field: 5032023
5
32
23
I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
field: 5032024
5
32
24
They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
field: 5032025
5
32
25
The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.

I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
field: 5032027
5
32
27
Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this.
field: 5032028
5
32
28
For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
field: 5032029
5
32
29
O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
field: 5032030
5
32
30
How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
field: 5032031
5
32
31
For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
field: 5032032
5
32
32
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
field: 5032033
5
32
33
Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
field: 5032034
5
32
34
Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
field: 5032035

35
To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
field: 5032036
5
32
36
For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
field: 5032037
5
32
37
And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
field: 5032038
5
32
38
Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.

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.

32
40
For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
field: 5032041
5
32
41
If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
field: 5032042
5
32
42
I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
field: 5032043
5
32
43
Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
field: 5032045
5
32
45
And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:
field: 5032046
5
32
46
And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
field: 5032047
5
32
47
For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
field: 5032048
5
32
48
And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,
field: 5032049
5
32
49
Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:
field: 5032050
5
32
50
And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:
field: 5032051
5
32
51
Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of MeribahKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
field: 5032052
5
32
52
Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
field: 5033001
5
33
1
And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
field: 5033002
5
33

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.
field: 5033003
5
33
3
Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.

Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.

And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.

Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few.

And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies.
field: 5033008
5
33
8
And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
field: 5033009
5
33
9
Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.
field: 5033010

10
They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.

Bless, LORD, his 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.
field: 5033012

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.
field: 5033013
5
33
13
And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
field: 5033014
5
33
14
And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
field: 5033015
5
33
15
And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,
field: 5033016
5
33
16
And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.

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.

5
33
18
And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.
field: 5033019
5
33
19
They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand.

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.
field: 5033021
5
33
21
And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.

5
33
22
And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.
field: 5033023

33
23
And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south.
field: 5033024
5
33
24
And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.

Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.

There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
field: 5033027

33
27
The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
field: 5033028
5
33
28
Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.
field: 5033029
5
33
29
Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.

And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD showed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,

5
34
2
And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,

And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.

And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
field: 5034005
5

5
So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
field: 5034006
5
34
6
And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
field: 5034007

34
7
And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
field: 5034008
5

And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.

And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 5034010

10
And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,

In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,

And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses showed in the sight of all Israel.

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,
field: 6001002
6
1
2
Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
field: 6001003
6
1
3
Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
field: 6001004
6
1
4
From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
field: 6001005
6

5
There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
field: 6001006
6
1
6
Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
field: 6001007
6

7
Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
field: 6001008
6
1
8
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
field: 6001009

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.

10
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
field: 6001011
6
1
11
Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.
field: 6001012
6
1
12
And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,
field: 6001013
6
1
13
Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.
field: 6001014
6
1
14
Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valor, and help them;
field: 6001015
6
1
15
Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD's servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.
field: 6001016
6
1
16
And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
field: 6001017
6
1
17
According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
field: 6001018
6
1
18
Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.

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.

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.

And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country.

And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were:

5
And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.

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.
field: 6002007

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.
field: 6002008
6

8
And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;
field: 6002009
6

And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.

For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
field: 6002011

2
11
And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.
field: 6002012
6
2
12
Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have showed you kindness, that ye will also show kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token:
field: 6002013
6
2
13
And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.
field: 6002014
6
2
14
And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
field: 6002015
6
2
15
Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.
field: 6002016
6
2
16
And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.
field: 6002017
6
2
17
And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.
field: 6002018
6
2
18
Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee.
field: 6002019
6
2
19
And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.
field: 6002020
6
2
20
And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
field: 6002021
6
2
21
And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.
field: 6002022
6
2
22
And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.
field: 6002023
6
2
23
So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all things that befell them:
field: 6002024
6
2
24
And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.
field: 6003001
6

1
And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.
field: 6003002
6
3
2
And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;
field: 6003003
6
3
3
And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.
field: 6003004
6
3
4
Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore.
field: 6003005
6
3
5
And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
field: 6003006
6
3
6
And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
field: 6003007
6
3
7
And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.
field: 6003008
6
3
8
And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.
field: 6003009
6
3
9
And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.
field: 6003010
6
3
10
And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
field: 6003011
6
3
11
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.
field: 6003012
6
3
12
Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
field: 6003013
6
3
13
And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the LORD of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.
field: 6003014
6
3
14
And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;
field: 6003015
6
3
15
And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)
field: 6003016
6
3
16
That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.
field: 6003017
6
3
17
And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.
field: 6004001
6
4
1
And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
field: 6004002
6
4
2
Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
field: 6004003
6
4
3
And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night.
field: 6004004
6
4
4
Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:
field: 6004005
6
4
5
And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take you up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel:
field: 6004006
6
4
6
That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?
field: 6004007
6
4
7
Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.
field: 6004008
6
4
8
And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
field: 6004009
6
4
9
And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.
field: 6004010
6
4
10
For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until everything was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.
field: 6004011
6
4
11
And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.
field: 6004012
6
4
12
And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:
field: 6004013
6
4
13
About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.
field: 6004014
6
4
14
On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
field: 6004015
6
4
15
And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
field: 6004016
6
4
16
Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan.
field: 6004017
6
4
17
Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan.
field: 6004018
6
4
18
And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.
field: 6004019
6
4
19
And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.
field: 6004020
6
4
20
And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.
field: 6004021
6
4
21
And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?
field: 6004022
6
4
22
Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
field: 6004023
6
4
23
For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:
field: 6004024
6
4
24
That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever.
field: 6005001
6
5
1
And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
field: 6005002
6
5
2
At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
field: 6005003
6
5
3
And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
field: 6005004
6
5
4
And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
field: 6005005
6
5
5
Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised.
field: 6005006
6
5
6
For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not show them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
field: 6005007
6
5
7
And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
field: 6005008
6
5
8
And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.
field: 6005009
6
5
9
And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day.
field: 6005010
6
5
10
And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.
field: 6005011
6
5
11
And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day.
field: 6005012
6
5
12
And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
field: 6005013
6
5
13
And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
field: 6005014
6
5
14
And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant?
field: 6005015
6
5
15
And the captain of the LORD's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
field: 6006001
6
6
1
Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
field: 6006002
6
6
2
And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valor.
field: 6006003
6
6
3
And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
field: 6006004
6
6
4
And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
field: 6006005
6
6
5
And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
field: 6006006
6
6
6
And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD.
field: 6006007
6
6
7
And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.
field: 6006008
6
6
8
And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
field: 6006009
6
6
9
And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rearward came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
field: 6006010
6
6
10
And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.
field: 6006011
6
6
11
So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
field: 6006012
6
6
12
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
field: 6006013
6
6
13
And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rearward came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
field: 6006014
6
6
14
And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.
field: 6006015
6
6
15
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
field: 6006016
6
6
16
And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.
field: 6006017
6
6
17
And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
field: 6006018
6
6
18
And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
field: 6006019
6
6
19
But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.
field: 6006020
6
6
20
So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
field: 6006021
6
6
21
And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
field: 6006022
6
6
22
But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.
field: 6006023
6
6
23
And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.
field: 6006024
6
6
24
And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
field: 6006025
6
6
25
And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
field: 6006026
6
6
26
And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
field: 6006027
6
6
27
So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.
field: 6007001
6
7
1
But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.
field: 6007002
6
7
2
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.
field: 6007003
6
7
3
And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labor thither; for they are but few.
field: 6007004
6
7
4
So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.
field: 6007005
6
7
5
And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
field: 6007006
6
7
6
And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.
field: 6007007
6
7
7
And Joshua said, Alas, O LORD God, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!
field: 6007008
6
7
8
O LORD, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!
field: 6007009
6
7
9
For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
field: 6007010
6
7
10
And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?
field: 6007011
6
7
11
Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.
field: 6007012
6
7
12
Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
field: 6007013
6
7
13
Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.
field: 6007014
6
7
14
In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man.
field: 6007015
6
7
15
And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.
field: 6007016
6
7
16
So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:
field: 6007017
6
7
17
And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:
field: 6007018
6
7
18
And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
field: 6007019
6
7
19
And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.
field: 6007020
6
7
20
And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
field: 6007021
6
7
21
When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
field: 6007022
6
7
22
So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
field: 6007023
6
7
23
And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD.
field: 6007024
6
7
24
And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor.
field: 6007025
6
7
25
And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
field: 6007026
6

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.

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:
field: 6008002
6
8
2
And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it.
field: 6008003
6
8
3
So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valor, and sent them away by night.
field: 6008004
6
8
4
And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, even behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:
field: 6008005
6
8
5
And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,
field: 6008006
6
8
6
(For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee before them.
field: 6008007
6
8
7
Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.
field: 6008008
6
8
8
And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.
field: 6008009
6

9
Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
field: 6008010
6
8
10
And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
field: 6008011
6
8
11
And all the people, even the people of war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between them and Ai.
field: 6008012
6
8
12
And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.
field: 6008013
6
8
13
And when they had set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
field: 6008014
6
8
14
And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; but he wist not that there were liers in ambush against him behind the city.
field: 6008015
6
8
15
And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
field: 6008016
6
8
16
And all the people that were in Ai were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
field: 6008017
6
8
17
And there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
field: 6008018
6
8
18
And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city.
field: 6008019
6
8
19
And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire.
field: 6008020
6
8
20
And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.
field: 6008021
6
8
21
And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.
field: 6008022
6
8
22
And the other issued out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.
field: 6008023
6
8
23
And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
field: 6008024
6
8
24
And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
field: 6008025
6
8
25
And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.
field: 6008026
6
8
26
For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
field: 6008027
6
8
27
Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua.
field: 6008028
6
8
28
And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day.
field: 6008029
6
8
29
And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcass down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day.
field: 6008030
6
8
30
Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in mount Ebal,
field: 6008031
6
8
31
As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.
field: 6008032
6
8
32
And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
field: 6008033
6
8
33
And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.
field: 6008034
6
8
34
And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
field: 6008035
6
8
35
There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.
field: 6009001
6

1
And it came to pass, when all the kings which were on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof;
field: 6009002
6
9
2
That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
field: 6009003
6
9
3
And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,
field: 6009004
6
9
4
They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;
field: 6009005
6
9
5
And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy.
field: 6009006
6
9
6
And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us.
field: 6009007
6
9
7
And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?
field: 6009008
6
9
8
And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?
field: 6009009
6
9
9
And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,
field: 6009010
6
9
10
And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth.
field: 6009011
6
9
11
Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us.
field: 6009012
6
9
12
This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy:
field: 6009013
6
9
13
And these bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey.
field: 6009014
6
9
14
And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD.
field: 6009015
6
9
15
And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them.
field: 6009016
6
9
16
And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they dwelt among them.
field: 6009017
6
9
17
And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim.
field: 6009018
6
9
18
And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.
field: 6009019
6
9
19
But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.
field: 6009020
6
9
20
This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them.
field: 6009021
6
9
21
And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had promised them.
field: 6009022
6
9
22
And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us?
field: 6009023
6
9
23
Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
field: 6009024
6
9
24
And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
field: 6009025
6
9
25
And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.
field: 6009026
6
9
26
And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.
field: 6009027
6
9
27
And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose.
field: 6010001
6
10
1
Now it came to pass, when Adonizedec king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
field: 6010002
6
10
2
That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.
field: 6010003
6
10
3
Wherefore Adonizedec king of Jerusalem, sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,
field: 6010004
6
10
4
Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
field: 6010005
6
10
5
Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
field: 6010006
6
10
6
And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.
field: 6010007
6
10
7
So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.
field: 6010008
6
10
8
And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.
field: 6010009
6
10
9
Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.
field: 6010010
6
10
10
And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
field: 6010011
6
10
11
And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
field: 6010012
6
10
12
Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
field: 6010013
6
10
13
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
field: 6010014
6
10
14
And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.
field: 6010015
6
10
15
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
field: 6010016
6
10
16
But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
field: 6010017
6
10
17
And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.
field: 6010018
6
10
18
And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:
field: 6010019
6
10
19
And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.
field: 6010020
6
10
20
And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities.
field: 6010021
6
10
21
And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
field: 6010022
6
10
22
Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.
field: 6010023
6
10
23
And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
field: 6010024
6
10
24
And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.
field: 6010025
6
10
25
And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.
field: 6010026
6
10
26
And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
field: 6010027
6
10
27
And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day.
field: 6010028
6
10
28
And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho.
field: 6010029
6
10
29
Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:
field: 6010030
6
10
30
And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho.
field: 6010031
6
10
31
And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:
field: 6010032
6
10
32
And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
field: 6010033
6
10
33
Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
field: 6010034
6
10
34
And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:
field: 6010035
6
10
35
And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
field: 6010036
6
10
36
And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:
field: 6010037
6
10
37
And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein.
field: 6010038
6
10
38
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:
field: 6010039
6
10
39
And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.
field: 6010040
6
10
40
So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.
field: 6010041
6
10
41
And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.
field: 6010042
6
10
42
And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.
field: 6010043
6
10
43
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
field: 6011001
6
11
1
And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
field: 6011002
6
11
2
And to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,
field: 6011003
6
11
3
And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.
field: 6011004
6
11
4
And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.
field: 6011005
6
11
5
And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.
field: 6011006
6
11
6
And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.
field: 6011007
6
11
7
So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.
field: 6011008
6
11
8
And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.
field: 6011009
6
11
9
And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
field: 6011010
6
11
10
And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.
field: 6011011
6
11
11
And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.
field: 6011012
6
11
12
And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.
field: 6011013
6
11
13
But as for the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.
field: 6011014
6
11
14
And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.
field: 6011015
6
11
15
As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 6011016
6
11
16
So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same;
field: 6011017
6
11
17
Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.
field: 6011018

Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.

There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other they took in battle.
field: 6011020
6
11
20
For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 6011021
6
11
21
And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.
field: 6011022
6
11
22
There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained.
field: 6011023
6
11
23
So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.

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:
field: 6012002
6
12
2
Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and from half Gilead, even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;
field: 6012003
6
12
3
And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea on the east, the way to Bethjeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdothpisgah:
field: 6012004
6
12
4
And the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
field: 6012005
6
12
5
And reigned in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.
field: 6012006
6
12
6
Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.
field: 6012007
6
12
7
And these are the kings of the country which Joshua and the children of Israel smote on this side Jordan on the west, from Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon even unto the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir; which Joshua gave unto the tribes of Israel for a possession according to their divisions;
field: 6012008
6
12
8
In the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the south country; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites:

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.
field: 6013002
6
13
2
This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri,
field: 6013003
6
13
3
From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the borders of Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites:
field: 6013004
6
13
4
From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside the Sidonians unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites:
field: 6013005
6
13
5
And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.
field: 6013006
6
13
6
All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephothmaim, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.
field: 6013007
6
13
7
Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
field: 6013008
6
13
8
With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them;
field: 6013009
6
13
9
From Aroer, that is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon;
field: 6013010
6
13
10
And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;
field: 6013011
6
13
11
And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;
field: 6013012
6
13
12
All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did Moses smite, and cast them out.
field: 6013013
6
13
13
Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.
field: 6013014
6
13
14
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.
field: 6013015
6
13
15
And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance according to their families.
field: 6013016
6
13
16
And their coast was from Aroer, that is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain by Medeba;
field: 6013017
6
13
17
Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon,
field: 6013018
6
13
18
And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
field: 6013019

13
19
And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the mount of the valley,
field: 6013020
6
13
20
And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth,
field: 6013021
6
13
21
And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, which were dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country.
field: 6013022
6
13
22
Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them.
field: 6013023
6
13
23
And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and the border thereof. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben after their families, the cities and the villages thereof.
field: 6013024
6
13
24
And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, even unto the children of Gad according to their families.
field: 6013025
6
13
25
And their coast was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is before Rabbah;
field: 6013026
6
13
26
And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir;
field: 6013027
6
13
27
And in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and his border, even unto the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side Jordan eastward.
field: 6013028
6
13
28
This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families, the cities, and their villages.
field: 6013029
6
13
29
And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh: and this was the possession of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh by their families.
field: 6013030
6
13
30
And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, threescore cities:
field: 6013031
6
13
31
And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were pertaining unto the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even to the one half of the children of Machir by their families.
field: 6013032
6
13
32
These are the countries which Moses did distribute for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan, by Jericho, eastward.
field: 6013033
6
13
33
But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the LORD God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said unto them.
field: 6014001
6
14
1
And these are the countries which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance to them.
field: 6014002
6
14
2
By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe.
field: 6014003
6
14
3
For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them.
field: 6014004
6
14
4
For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.
field: 6014005
6
14
5
As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land.
field: 6014006
6
14
6
Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea.
field: 6014007
6
14
7
Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart.
field: 6014008
6
14
8
Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
field: 6014009
6
14
9
And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God.
field: 6014010
6
14
10
And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.
field: 6014011
6
14
11
As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.
field: 6014012
6
14
12
Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.
field: 6014013
6
14
13
And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
field: 6014014
6
14
14
Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.
field: 6014015
6
14
15
And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba; which Arba was a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
field: 6015001
6
15
1
This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast.
field: 6015002
6
15
2
And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward:
field: 6015003
6
15
3
And it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa:
field: 6015004
6
15
4
From thence it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your south coast.
field: 6015005
6
15
5
And the east border was the salt sea, even unto the end of Jordan. And their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan:
field: 6015006
6
15
6
And the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along by the north of Betharabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:
field: 6015007
6
15
7
And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh, and the goings out thereof were at Enrogel:
field: 6015008
6
15
8
And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward:
field: 6015009
6
15
9
And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, which is Kirjathjearim:
field: 6015010
6
15
10
And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah:
field: 6015011
6
15
11
And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.
field: 6015012
6
15
12
And the west border was to the great sea, and the coast thereof. This is the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families.
field: 6015013
6
15
13
And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron.
field: 6015014
6
15
14
And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
field: 6015015
6
15
15
And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher.
field: 6015016
6
15
16
And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
field: 6015017
6
15
17
And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
field: 6015018
6
15
18
And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou?
field: 6015019
6
15
19
Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs.
field: 6015020
6
15
20
This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.
field: 6015021

15
21

field: 6016003
6
16
3
And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer; and the goings out thereof are at the sea.
field: 6016004
6
16
4
So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
field: 6016005
6
16
5
And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper;
field: 6016006
6
16
6
And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;
field: 6016007
6
16
7
And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.
field: 6016008
6
16
8
The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.
field: 6016009
6
16
9
And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
field: 6016010
6
16
10
And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.
field: 6017001
6
17
1
There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
field: 6017002
6
17
2
There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.
field: 6017003
6
17
3
But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
field: 6017004
6
17
4
And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
field: 6017005
6
17
5
And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan;
field: 6017006
6
17
6
Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
field: 6017007
6
17
7
And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of Entappuah.
field: 6017008
6
17
8
Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;
field: 6017009
6
17
9
And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:
field: 6017010
6
17
10
Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
field: 6017011
6
17
11
And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries.
field: 6017012
6
17
12
Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
field: 6017013
6
17
13
Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, but did not utterly drive them out.
field: 6017014
6
17
14
And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?
field: 6017015
6
17
15
And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
field: 6017016
6
17
16
And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Bethshean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.
field: 6017017
6
17
17
And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only:
field: 6017018
6
17
18
But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong.
field: 6018001
6
18
1
And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.
field: 6018002
6
18
2
And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
field: 6018003
6
18
3
And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?
field: 6018004
6
18
4
Give out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come again to me.
field: 6018005
6
18
5
And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north.
field: 6018006
6
18
6
Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
field: 6018007
6
18
7
But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.
field: 6018008
6
18
8
And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.
field: 6018009
6
18
9
And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.
field: 6018010
6
18
10
And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.
field: 6018011
6
18
11
And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
field: 6018012
6
18
12
And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Bethaven.
field: 6018013
6
18
13
And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Atarothadar, near the hill that lieth on the south side of the nether Bethhoron.
field: 6018014
6
18
14
And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Bethhoron southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjathbaal, which is Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter.
field: 6018015
6
18
15
And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjathjearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:
field: 6018016
6
18
16
And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to Enrogel,
field: 6018017
6
18
17
And was drawn from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is over against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,
field: 6018018
6
18
18
And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and went down unto Arabah:
field: 6018019
6
18
19
And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this was the south coast.
field: 6018020
6
18
20
And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about, according to their families.
field: 6018021
6
18
21
Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz,

And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,

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.
field: 6019002

And they had in their inheritance Beersheba, and Sheba, and Moladah,

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.
field: 6019009
6
19
9
Out of the portion of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon: for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them.
field: 6019010
6
19
10
And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid:
field: 6019011
6
19
11
And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that is before Jokneam;
field: 6019012

19
12
And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chislothtabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia,

And Mejarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before Japho.
field: 6019047
6
19
47
And the coast of the children of Dan went out too little for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.
field: 6019048
6

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:
field: 6019050
6
19
50
According to the word of the LORD they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnathserah in mount Ephraim: and he built the city, and dwelt therein.
field: 6019051
6
19
51
These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the country.
field: 6020001
6
20
1
The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying,
field: 6020002
6
20
2
Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses:
field: 6020003
6
20
3
That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
field: 6020004
6
20
4
And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
field: 6020005
6
20
5
And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbor unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.
field: 6020006
6
20
6
And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled.
field: 6020007
6
20
7
And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjatharba, which is Hebron, in the mountain of Judah.
field: 6020008
6
20
8
And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.
field: 6020009
6
20
9
These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.
field: 6021001
6
21
1
Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel;
field: 6021002
6
21
2
And they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, The LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle.
field: 6021003
6
21
3
And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and their suburbs.
field: 6021004
6
21
4
And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the priest, which were of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.
field: 6021005
6
21

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.

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.
field: 6021008
6
21
8
And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities with their suburbs, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
field: 6021009
6
21
9
And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which are here mentioned by name.
field: 6021010
6
21
10
Which the children of Aaron, being of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi, had: for theirs was the first lot.
field: 6021011
6
21
11
And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with the suburbs thereof round about it.
field: 6021012
6
21
12
But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.
field: 6021013
6
21
13
Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest Hebron with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Libnah with her suburbs,
field: 6021014
6
21
14
And Jattir with her suburbs, and Eshtemoa with her suburbs,
field: 6021015

And Holon with her suburbs, and Debir with her suburbs,
field: 6021016

16
And Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs, and Bethshemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes.
field: 6021017
6
21
17
And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with her suburbs, Geba with her suburbs,
field: 6021018

18
Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with her suburbs; four cities.
field: 6021019

All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their suburbs.

And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites which remained of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim.
field: 6021021
6
21
21
For they gave them Shechem with her suburbs in mount Ephraim, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer with her suburbs,
field: 6021022
6
21
22
And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and Bethhoron with her suburbs; four cities.
field: 6021023
6
21
23
And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with her suburbs, Gibbethon with her suburbs,
field: 6021024
6
21
24
Aijalon with her suburbs, Gathrimmon with her suburbs; four cities.
field: 6021025
6
21
25
And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with her suburbs, and Gathrimmon with her suburbs; two cities.
field: 6021026
6
21
26
All the cities were ten with their suburbs for the families of the children of Kohath that remained.
field: 6021027
6
21
27
And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of the other half tribe of Manasseh they gave Golan in Bashan with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Beeshterah with her suburbs; two cities.
field: 6021028
6
21
28
And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with her suburbs, Dabareh with her suburbs,
field: 6021029
6
21
29
Jarmuth with her suburbs, Engannim with her suburbs; four cities.
field: 6021030
6
21
30
And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with her suburbs, Abdon with her suburbs,
field: 6021031
6
21
31
Helkath with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs; four cities.
field: 6021032
6
21
32
And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Hammothdor with her suburbs, and Kartan with her suburbs; three cities.
field: 6021033
6
21
33
All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities with their suburbs.
field: 6021034
6
21
34
And unto the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with her suburbs, and Kartah with her suburbs,
field: 6021035
6
21
35
Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal with her suburbs; four cities.
field: 6021036
6
21
36
And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with her suburbs, and Jahazah with her suburbs,
field: 6021037
6
21
37
Kedemoth with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs; four cities.
field: 6021038
6
21
38
And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Mahanaim with her suburbs,
field: 6021039
6
21
39
Heshbon with her suburbs, Jazer with her suburbs; four cities in all.
field: 6021040
6
21
40
So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were by their lot twelve cities.
field: 6021041
6
21
41
All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel were forty and eight cities with their suburbs.
field: 6021042
6
21
42
These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus were all these cities.
field: 6021043
6
21
43
And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.
field: 6021044
6
21
44
And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.
field: 6021045
6
21
45
There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
field: 6022001
6
22
1
Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
field: 6022002
6
22
2
And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:
field: 6022003
6
22
3
Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.
field: 6022004
6
22
4
And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.
field: 6022005
6
22
5
But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
field: 6022006
6
22
6
So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents.
field: 6022007
6
22
7
Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan: but unto the other half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then he blessed them,
field: 6022008
6
22
8
And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.
field: 6022009
6
22
9
And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
field: 6022010
6
22
10
And when they came unto the borders of Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to see to.
field: 6022011
6
22
11
And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, at the passage of the children of Israel.
field: 6022012
6
22
12
And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them.
field: 6022013
6
22
13
And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
field: 6022014
6
22
14
And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one was an head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel.
field: 6022015
6
22
15
And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,
field: 6022016
6
22
16
Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD?
field: 6022017
6
22
17
Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,
field: 6022018
6
22
18
But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.
field: 6022019
6
22
19
Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD our God.
field: 6022020
6
22
20
Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.
field: 6022021
6
22
21
Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said unto the heads of the thousands of Israel,
field: 6022022
6
22
22
The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day,)
field: 6022023
6
22
23
That we have built us an altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself require it;
field: 6022024
6
22
24
And if we have not rather done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD God of Israel?
field: 6022025
6
22
25
For the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD.
field: 6022026
6
22
26
Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:
field: 6022027
6
22
27
But that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the LORD.
field: 6022028
6
22
28
Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say again, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between us and you.
field: 6022029
6
22
29
God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle.
field: 6022030
6
22
30
And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them.
field: 6022031
6
22
31
And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD.
field: 6022032
6
22
32
And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
field: 6022033
6
22
33
And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.
field: 6022034
6
22
34
And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the LORD is God.
field: 6023001
6
23
1
And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.
field: 6023002
6
23
2
And Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and stricken in age:
field: 6023003
6
23
3
And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is he that hath fought for you.
field: 6023004
6
23
4
Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea westward.
field: 6023005
6
23
5
And the LORD your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your God hath promised unto you.
field: 6023006
6
23
6
Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;
field: 6023007
6
23
7
That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:
field: 6023008
6
23
8
But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day.
field: 6023009
6
23
9
For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.
field: 6023010
6
23
10
One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.
field: 6023011
6
23
11
Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.
field: 6023012
6
23
12
Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you:
field: 6023013
6
23
13
Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.
field: 6023014
6
23
14
And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.
field: 6023015
6
23
15
Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.
field: 6023016
6
23
16
When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.
field: 6024001

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.
field: 6024002
6
24
2
And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods.
field: 6024003
6
24
3
And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.
field: 6024004
6
24
4
And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
field: 6024005
6
24
5
I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out.
field: 6024006
6
24
6
And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea.
field: 6024007
6
24
7
And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.
field: 6024008
6
24
8
And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you.
field: 6024009
6
24
9
Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you:
field: 6024010
6
24
10
But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.
field: 6024011
6
24
11
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.
field: 6024012
6
24
12
And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.
field: 6024013
6
24
13
And I have given you a land for which ye did not labor, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.
field: 6024014
6
24
14
Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.
field: 6024015
6
24
15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
field: 6024016
6
24
16
And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;
field: 6024017
6
24
17
For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:
field: 6024018
6
24
18
And the LORD drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve the LORD; for he is our God.
field: 6024019
6
24
19
And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
field: 6024020
6
24
20
If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.
field: 6024021
6
24
21
And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD.
field: 6024022
6
24
22
And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses.
field: 6024023
6
24
23
Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel.
field: 6024024
6
24
24
And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.
field: 6024025
6
24
25
So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
field: 6024026
6
24
26
And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the LORD.
field: 6024027
6
24
27
And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.
field: 6024028
6
24
28
So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance.
field: 6024029
6
24
29
And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
field: 6024030
6
24
30
And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash.
field: 6024031
6
24
31
And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the LORD, that he had done for Israel.
field: 6024032
6
24
32
And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.
field: 6024033
6
24
33
And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a hill that pertained to Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.
field: 7001001

1
Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?
field: 7001002
7
1
2
And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
field: 7001003
7
1
3
And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.
field: 7001004
7
1
4
And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
field: 7001005
7
1
5
And they found Adonibezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
field: 7001006
7
1
6
But Adonibezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
field: 7001007
7
1
7
And Adonibezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
field: 7001008
7
1
8
Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
field: 7001009
7
1
9
And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley.
field: 7001010
7
1
10
And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba:) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
field: 7001011
7
1
11
And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher:
field: 7001012
7
1
12
And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
field: 7001013
7
1
13
And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
field: 7001014
7
1
14
And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wilt thou?
field: 7001015
7
1
15
And she said unto him, Give me a blessing: for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.
field: 7001016
7
1
16
And the children of the Kenite, Moses' father in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people.
field: 7001017
7
1

And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah.

Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof.

And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.

And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak.

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.

And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel: and the LORD was with them.
field: 7001023
7

23
And the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)
field: 7001024

And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will show thee mercy.
field: 7001025
7

25
And when he showed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family.
field: 7001026
7

26
And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz: which is the name thereof unto this day.

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.
field: 7001028

And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out.
field: 7001029

Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
field: 7001030

Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.

Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob:

But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out.

Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of 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.

And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:
field: 7001035

35
But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries.

And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.

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.
field: 7002002
7
2
2
And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?
field: 7002003
7
2
3
Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
field: 7002004
7
2
4
And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
field: 7002005
7

5
And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.

And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.
field: 7002007
7
2
7
And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel.
field: 7002008
7
2
8
And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
field: 7002009
7
2
9
And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.
field: 7002010
7
2
10
And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
field: 7002011
7
2
11
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:
field: 7002012
7
2
12
And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.
field: 7002013
7
2
13
And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
field: 7002014
7
2
14
And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
field: 7002015
7
2
15
Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.
field: 7002016
7
2
16
Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
field: 7002017
7
2
17
And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.
field: 7002018
7
2
18
And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.
field: 7002019
7
2
19
And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
field: 7002020
7
2
20
And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;
field: 7002021
7
2
21
I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:
field: 7002022
7
2
22
That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
field: 7002023
7
2
23
Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
field: 7003001
7
3
1
Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
field: 7003002
7
3
2
Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;
field: 7003003
7
3
3
Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
field: 7003004
7
3
4
And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
field: 7003005
7
3
5
And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
field: 7003006
7
3
6
And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
field: 7003007
7
3
7
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
field: 7003008
7
3
8
Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years.
field: 7003009
7
3
9
And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
field: 7003010
7
3
10
And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim.
field: 7003011
7
3
11
And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
field: 7003012
7
3
12
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.
field: 7003013
7
3
13
And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
field: 7003014
7
3
14
So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
field: 7003015
7
3
15
But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.
field: 7003016
7
3
16
But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
field: 7003017
7
3
17
And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.
field: 7003018
7
3
18
And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.
field: 7003019
7
3
19
But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
field: 7003020
7
3
20
And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlor, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.
field: 7003021
7
3
21
And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
field: 7003022
7
3
22
And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
field: 7003023
7
3
23
Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlor upon him, and locked them.
field: 7003024
7
3
24
When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlor were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.
field: 7003025
7
3
25
And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlor; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
field: 7003026
7
3
26
And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.
field: 7003027
7
3
27
And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.
field: 7003028
7
3
28
And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
field: 7003029
7
3
29
And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valor; and there escaped not a man.
field: 7003030
7
3
30
So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
field: 7003031
7
3
31
And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.
field: 7004001
7
4
1
And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud was dead.
field: 7004002
7
4
2
And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
field: 7004003
7
4
3
And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
field: 7004004
7
4
4
And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
field: 7004005
7
4
5
And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
field: 7004006
7
4
6
And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
field: 7004007
7
4
7
And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand.
field: 7004008
7
4
8
And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.
field: 7004009
7
4
9
And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honor; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
field: 7004010
7
4
10
And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
field: 7004011
7
4
11
Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.
field: 7004012
7
4
12
And they showed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
field: 7004013
7
4
13
And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon.
field: 7004014
7
4
14
And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
field: 7004015
7
4
15
And the LORD discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
field: 7004016
7
4
16
But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.
field: 7004017
7
4
17
Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
field: 7004018
7
4
18
And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
field: 7004019
7
4
19
And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
field: 7004020
7
4
20
Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
field: 7004021
7
4
21
Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.
field: 7004022
7
4
22
And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.
field: 7004023
7
4
23
So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
field: 7004024
7
4
24
And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
field: 7005001
7

Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,

2
Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
field: 7005003

Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.

LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.
field: 7005005
7
5
5
The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.
field: 7005006

In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.

7
The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
field: 7005008
7
5
8
They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
field: 7005009
7
5
9
My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.
field: 7005010
7
5
10
Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
field: 7005011
7
5
11
They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates.
field: 7005012
7
5
12
Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
field: 7005013

Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.

Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.

And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.

Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.

Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.

The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.

They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.

He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.

26
She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.
field: 7005027

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.

Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,

Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colors, a prey of divers colors of needlework, of divers colors of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?

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.

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.
field: 7006002
7

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.
field: 7006003

And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them;

And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.
field: 7006005

For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.

And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD.
field: 7006007
7
6
7
And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the Midianites,
field: 7006008
7
6
8
That the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;
field: 7006009
7
6
9
And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land;
field: 7006010
7
6
10
And I said unto you, I am the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice.
field: 7006011
7
6
11
And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.
field: 7006012
7
6
12
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valor.
field: 7006013
7
6
13
And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.
field: 7006014
7
6
14
And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?
field: 7006015
7
6
15
And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.
field: 7006016
7
6
16
And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.
field: 7006017
7
6
17
And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then show me a sign that thou talkest with me.
field: 7006018
7
6
18
Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again.
field: 7006019
7
6
19
And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it.
field: 7006020
7
6
20
And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.
field: 7006021
7
6
21
Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight.
field: 7006022
7
6
22
And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O LORD God! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face.
field: 7006023
7
6
23
And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.
field: 7006024
7
6
24
Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovahshalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
field: 7006025
7
6
25
And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it:
field: 7006026
7
6
26
And build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.
field: 7006027
7
6
27
Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said unto him: and so it was, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.
field: 7006028
7
6
28
And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built.
field: 7006029
7
6
29
And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing.
field: 7006030
7
6
30
Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it.
field: 7006031
7
6
31
And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar.
field: 7006032
7
6
32
Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.
field: 7006033
7
6
33
Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel.
field: 7006034
7
6
34
But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him.
field: 7006035
7
6
35
And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was gathered after him: and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.
field: 7006036
7
6
36
And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,
field: 7006037
7
6
37
Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.
field: 7006038
7
6
38
And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.
field: 7006039
7
6
39
And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.
field: 7006040
7
6
40
And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
field: 7007001
7
7
1
Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
field: 7007002
7
7
2
And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.
field: 7007003
7
7
3
Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
field: 7007004
7
7
4
And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.
field: 7007005
7
7
5
So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.
field: 7007006
7
7
6
And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
field: 7007007
7
7
7
And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.
field: 7007008
7
7
8
So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
field: 7007009
7
7
9
And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Arise, get thee down unto the host; for I have delivered it into thine hand.
field: 7007010
7
7
10
But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host:
field: 7007011
7
7
11
And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thine hands be strengthened to go down unto the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that were in the host.
field: 7007012
7
7
12
And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude.
field: 7007013
7
7
13
And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along.
field: 7007014
7
7
14
And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host.
field: 7007015
7
7
15
And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
field: 7007016
7
7
16
And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.
field: 7007017
7
7
17
And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.
field: 7007018
7
7
18
When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
field: 7007019
7
7
19
So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands.
field: 7007020
7
7
20
And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
field: 7007021
7
7
21
And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.
field: 7007022
7
7
22
And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath.
field: 7007023
7
7
23
And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites.
field: 7007024
7
7
24
And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan.
field: 7007025
7
7
25
And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan.
field: 7008001
7
8
1
And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did chide with him sharply.
field: 7008002
7
8
2
And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
field: 7008003
7
8
3
God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.
field: 7008004
7
8
4
And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.
field: 7008005
7
8
5
And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
field: 7008006
7
8
6
And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?
field: 7008007
7
8
7
And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.
field: 7008008
7
8
8
And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.
field: 7008009
7
8
9
And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.
field: 7008010
7
8
10
Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east: for there fell an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.
field: 7008011
7
8
11
And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host; for the host was secure.
field: 7008012
7
8
12
And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host.
field: 7008013
7
8
13
And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,
field: 7008014
7
8
14
And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he described unto him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, even threescore and seventeen men.
field: 7008015
7
8
15
And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thy men that are weary?
field: 7008016
7
8
16
And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.
field: 7008017
7
8
17
And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.
field: 7008018
7
8
18
Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king.
field: 7008019
7
8
19
And he said, They were my brethren, even the sons of my mother: as the LORD liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you.
field: 7008020
7
8
20
And he said unto Jether his firstborn, Up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth.
field: 7008021
7
8
21
Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that were on their camels' necks.
field: 7008022
7
8
22
Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian.
field: 7008023
7
8
23
And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.
field: 7008024
7
8
24
And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
field: 7008025
7
8
25
And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.
field: 7008026
7
8
26
And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that were about their camels' necks.
field: 7008027
7
8
27
And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring after it: which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house.
field: 7008028
7
8
28
Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon.
field: 7008029
7
8
29
And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
field: 7008030
7
8
30
And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.
field: 7008031
7
8
31
And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.
field: 7008032
7
8
32
And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
field: 7008033
7
8
33
And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baalberith their god.
field: 7008034
7
8
34
And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side:
field: 7008035
7
8
35
Neither showed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had showed unto Israel.
field: 7009001
7
9
1
And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mother's brethren, and communed with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother's father, saying,
field: 7009002
7
9
2
Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over you? remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.
field: 7009003
7
9
3
And his mother's brethren spake of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, He is our brother.
field: 7009004
7
9
4
And they gave him threescore and ten pieces of silver out of the house of Baalberith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him.
field: 7009005
7
9
5
And he went unto his father's house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, being threescore and ten persons, upon one stone: notwithstanding yet Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself.
field: 7009006
7
9
6
And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem.
field: 7009007
7
9
7
And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you.
field: 7009008
7
9
8
The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.
field: 7009009
7
9
9
But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honor God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
field: 7009010
7
9
10
And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us.
field: 7009011
7
9
11
But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?
field: 7009012
7
9
12
Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us.
field: 7009013
7
9
13
And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
field: 7009014
7
9
14
Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us.
field: 7009015
7
9
15
And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
field: 7009016
7
9
16
Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands;
field: 7009017
7
9
17
(For my father fought for you, and adventured his life far, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian:
field: 7009018
7
9
18
And ye are risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother;)
field: 7009019
7
9
19
If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you:
field: 7009020
7
9
20
But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech.
field: 7009021
7
9
21
And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.
field: 7009022
7
9
22
When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel,
field: 7009023
7
9
23
Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:
field: 7009024
7
9
24
That the cruelty done to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, which slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in the killing of his brethren.
field: 7009025
7
9
25
And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for him in the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and it was told Abimelech.
field: 7009026
7
9
26
And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him.
field: 7009027
7
9
27
And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trode the grapes, and made merry, and went into the house of their god, and did eat and drink, and cursed Abimelech.
field: 7009028
7
9
28
And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? is not he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serve him?

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.
field: 7009030

30
And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.
field: 7009031
7
9
31
And he sent messengers unto Abimelech privily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren be come to Shechem; and, behold, they fortify the city against thee.
field: 7009032
7
9
32
Now therefore up by night, thou and the people that is with thee, and lie in wait in the field:
field: 7009033
7
9
33
And it shall be, that in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and set upon the city: and, behold, when he and the people that is with him come out against thee, then mayest thou do to them as thou shalt find occasion.
field: 7009034
7
9
34
And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies.
field: 7009035
7
9
35
And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose up, and the people that were with him, from lying in wait.
field: 7009036
7
9
36
And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, there come people down from the top of the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as if they were men.
field: 7009037
7
9
37
And Gaal spake again, and said, See there come people down by the middle of the land, and another company come along by the plain of Meonenim.
field: 7009038
7
9
38
Then said Zebul unto him, Where is now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? is not this the people that thou hast despised? go out, I pray now, and fight with them.
field: 7009039
7
9
39
And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.
field: 7009040
7
9
40
And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many were overthrown and wounded, even unto the entering of the gate.
field: 7009041
7
9
41
And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem.
field: 7009042
7
9
42
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech.
field: 7009043
7
9
43
And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field, and looked, and, behold, the people were come forth out of the city; and he rose up against them, and smote them.
field: 7009044
7
9
44
And Abimelech, and the company that was with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and the two other companies ran upon all the people that were in the fields, and slew them.
field: 7009045
7
9
45
And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that was therein, and beat down the city, and sowed it with salt.
field: 7009046
7
9
46
And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith.
field: 7009047
7
9
47
And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.
field: 7009048
7
9
48
And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done.
field: 7009049
7
9
49
And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.
field: 7009050
7
9
50
Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it.
field: 7009051
7
9
51
But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut it to them, and gat them up to the top of the tower.
field: 7009052
7
9
52
And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
field: 7009053
7
9
53
And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech's head, and all to brake his skull.
field: 7009054
7
9
54
Then he called hastily unto the young man his armourbearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A women slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.
field: 7009055
7
9
55
And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his place.
field: 7009056
7
9
56
Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren:
field: 7009057
7
9
57
And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
field: 7010001
7
10
1
And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.
field: 7010002
7
10
2
And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
field: 7010003
7
10
3
And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years.
field: 7010004
7
10
4
And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havothjair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
field: 7010005
7
10
5
And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.
field: 7010006
7
10
6
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him.
field: 7010007
7
10
7
And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon.
field: 7010008
7
10
8
And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
field: 7010009
7
10
9
Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore distressed.
field: 7010010
7
10
10
And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim.
field: 7010011
7
10
11
And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
field: 7010012
7
10
12
The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand.
field: 7010013
7
10
13
Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.
field: 7010014
7
10
14
Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.
field: 7010015
7
10
15
And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day.
field: 7010016
7
10
16
And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
field: 7010017
7
10
17
Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh.
field: 7010018
7
10
18
And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, What man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
field: 7011001
7
11
1
Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.
field: 7011002
7
11
2
And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou art the son of a strange woman.
field: 7011003
7
11
3
Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him.
field: 7011004
7
11
4
And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
field: 7011005
7
11
5
And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob:
field: 7011006
7
11
6
And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
field: 7011007
7
11
7
And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?
field: 7011008
7
11
8
And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
field: 7011009
7
11
9
And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head?
field: 7011010
7
11
10
And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words.
field: 7011011
7
11
11
Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh.
field: 7011012
7
11
12
And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me to fight in my land?
field: 7011013
7
11
13
And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again peaceably.
field: 7011014
7
11
14
And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon:
field: 7011015
7
11
15
And said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:
field: 7011016
7
11
16
But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness unto the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;
field: 7011017
7
11
17
Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land: but the king of Edom would not hearken thereto. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab: but he would not consent: and Israel abode in Kadesh.
field: 7011018
7
11
18
Then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab.
field: 7011019
7
11
19
And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land into my place.
field: 7011020
7
11
20
But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
field: 7011021
7
11
21
And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
field: 7011022
7
11
22
And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan.
field: 7011023
7
11
23
So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it?
field: 7011024
7
11
24
Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess.
field: 7011025
7
11
25
And now art thou any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them,
field: 7011026
7
11
26
While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover them within that time?
field: 7011027
7
11
27
Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.
field: 7011028
7
11
28
Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
field: 7011029
7
11
29
Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon.
field: 7011030
7
11
30
And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,
field: 7011031
7
11
31
Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.
field: 7011032
7
11
32
So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.
field: 7011033
7
11
33
And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
field: 7011034
7
11
34
And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.
field: 7011035
7
11
35
And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back.
field: 7011036
7
11
36
And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon.
field: 7011037
7
11
37
And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows.
field: 7011038
7
11
38
And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.
field: 7011039
7
11
39
And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,
field: 7011040
7
11
40
That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
field: 7012001
7
12
1
And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward, and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upon thee with fire.
field: 7012002
7
12
2
And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their hands.
field: 7012003
7
12
3
And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?
field: 7012004
7
12
4
Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites.
field: 7012005
7
12
5
And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;
field: 7012006
7
12
6
Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
field: 7012007
7
12
7
And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
field: 7012008
7
12
8
And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
field: 7012009
7
12
9
And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.
field: 7012010
7
12
10
Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem.
field: 7012011
7
12
11
And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
field: 7012012
7
12
12
And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun.
field: 7012013
7
12
13
And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
field: 7012014
7
12
14
And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
field: 7012015
7
12
15
And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites.
field: 7013001
7
13
1
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
field: 7013002
7
13
2
And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not.
field: 7013003
7
13
3
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
field: 7013004
7
13
4
Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:
field: 7013005
7
13
5
For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
field: 7013006
7
13
6
Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name:
field: 7013007
7
13
7
But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.
field: 7013008
7
13
8
Then Manoah intreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.
field: 7013009
7
13
9
And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her.
field: 7013010
7
13
10
And the woman made haste, and ran, and showed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day.
field: 7013011
7
13
11
And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am.
field: 7013012
7
13
12
And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him?
field: 7013013
7
13
13
And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
field: 7013014
7
13
14
She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: all that I commanded her let her observe.
field: 7013015
7
13
15
And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.
field: 7013016
7
13
16
And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of the LORD.
field: 7013017
7
13
17
And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honor?
field: 7013018
7
13
18
And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?
field: 7013019
7
13
19
So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered it upon a rock unto the LORD: and the angel did wonderously; and Manoah and his wife looked on.
field: 7013020
7
13
20
For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground.
field: 7013021
7
13
21
But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the LORD.
field: 7013022
7
13
22
And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
field: 7013023
7
13
23
But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have showed us all these things, nor would as at this time have told us such things as these.
field: 7013024
7
13
24
And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
field: 7013025
7
13
25
And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
field: 7014001
7
14
1
And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.

And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.
field: 7014003

14
3
Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.
field: 7014004
7
14
4
But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
field: 7014005
7
14
5
Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
field: 7014006
7
14
6
And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
field: 7014007
7
14
7
And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
field: 7014008
7
14
8
And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcass of the lion.
field: 7014009
7
14
9
And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcass of the lion.
field: 7014010
7
14
10
So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
field: 7014011
7
14
11
And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
field: 7014012
7
14
12
And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:
field: 7014013
7
14
13
But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.
field: 7014014
7
14
14
And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.
field: 7014015
7
14
15
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?
field: 7014016
7
14
16
And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?
field: 7014017
7
14
17
And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
field: 7014018
7
14
18
And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion? and he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.
field: 7014019
7
14
19
And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
field: 7014020
7
14
20
But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
field: 7015001
7
15
1
But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in.
field: 7015002
7
15
2
And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.
field: 7015003
7
15
3
And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
field: 7015004
7
15
4
And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.
field: 7015005
7
15
5
And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.
field: 7015006
7
15
6
Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
field: 7015007
7
15
7
And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
field: 7015008
7
15
8
And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
field: 7015009
7
15
9
Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
field: 7015010
7
15
10
And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.
field: 7015011
7
15
11
Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.
field: 7015012
7
15
12
And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.
field: 7015013
7
15
13
And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
field: 7015014
7
15
14
And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
field: 7015015
7
15
15
And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
field: 7015016
7
15
16
And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
field: 7015017
7
15
17
And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi.
field: 7015018
7
15
18
And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
field: 7015019
7
15
19
But God clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day.
field: 7015020
7
15
20
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
field: 7016001
7
16
1
Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.
field: 7016002
7
16
2
And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they compassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him.
field: 7016003
7
16
3
And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron.
field: 7016004
7
16
4
And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
field: 7016005
7
16
5
And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.
field: 7016006
7
16
6
And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.
field: 7016007
7
16
7
And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withes that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
field: 7016008
7
16
8
Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withes which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
field: 7016009
7
16
9
Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withes, as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.
field: 7016010
7
16
10
And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.
field: 7016011
7
16
11
And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
field: 7016012
7
16
12
Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread.
field: 7016013
7
16
13
And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.
field: 7016014
7
16
14
And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.
field: 7016015
7
16
15
And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.
field: 7016016
7
16
16
And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;
field: 7016017
7
16
17
That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.
field: 7016018
7
16
18
And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath showed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.
field: 7016019
7
16
19
And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
field: 7016020
7
16
20
And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him.
field: 7016021
7
16
21
But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.
field: 7016022
7
16
22
Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.
field: 7016023
7
16
23
Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
field: 7016024
7
16
24
And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which slew many of us.
field: 7016025
7
16
25
And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars.
field: 7016026
7
16
26
And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them.
field: 7016027
7
16
27
Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.
field: 7016028
7
16
28
And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
field: 7016029
7
16
29
And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.
field: 7016030
7
16
30
And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.
field: 7016031
7
16
31
Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.
field: 7017001
7
17
1
And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
field: 7017002
7
17
2
And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my son.
field: 7017003
7
17
3
And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee.
field: 7017004
7
17
4
Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah.
field: 7017005
7
17
5
And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
field: 7017006
7
17
6
In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
field: 7017007
7
17
7
And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
field: 7017008
7
17
8
And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
field: 7017009
7
17
9
And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Bethlehemjudah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.
field: 7017010
7
17
10
And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in.
field: 7017011
7
17
11
And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
field: 7017012
7
17
12
And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
field: 7017013
7
17
13
Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.
field: 7018001
7
18
1
In those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day all their inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel.
field: 7018002
7
18
2
And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valor, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land: who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there.
field: 7018003
7
18
3
When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite: and they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou here?
field: 7018004
7
18
4
And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest.
field: 7018005
7
18
5
And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.
field: 7018006
7
18
6
And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD is your way wherein ye go.
field: 7018007
7
18
7
Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt careless, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and there was no magistrate in the land, that might put them to shame in any thing; and they were far from the Zidonians, and had no business with any man.
field: 7018008
7
18
8
And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What say ye?
field: 7018009
7
18
9
And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are ye still? be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land.
field: 7018010
7
18
10
When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and to a large land: for God hath given it into your hands; a place where there is no want of any thing that is in the earth.
field: 7018011
7
18
11
And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war.
field: 7018012
7
18
12
And they went up, and pitched in Kirjathjearim, in Judah: wherefore they called that place Mahanehdan unto this day: behold, it is behind Kirjathjearim.
field: 7018013
7
18
13
And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah.
field: 7018014
7
18
14
Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what ye have to do.
field: 7018015
7
18
15
And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and saluted him.
field: 7018016
7
18
16
And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate.
field: 7018017
7
18
17
And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war.
field: 7018018
7
18
18
And these went into Micah's house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do ye?
field: 7018019
7
18
19
And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?
field: 7018020
7
18
20
And the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.
field: 7018021
7
18
21
So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the carriage before them.
field: 7018022
7
18
22
And when they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan.
field: 7018023
7
18
23
And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company?
field: 7018024
7
18
24
And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and ye are gone away: and what have I more? and what is this that ye say unto me, What aileth thee?
field: 7018025
7
18
25
And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household.
field: 7018026
7
18
26
And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house.
field: 7018027
7
18
27
And they took the things which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people that were at quiet and secure: and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire.
field: 7018028
7
18
28
And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Bethrehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.
field: 7018029
7
18
29
And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first.
field: 7018030
7
18
30
And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.
field: 7018031
7
18
31
And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
field: 7019001
7
19
1
And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Bethlehemjudah.
field: 7019002
7
19
2
And his concubine played the whore against him, and went away from him unto her father's house to Bethlehemjudah, and was there four whole months.
field: 7019003
7
19
3
And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak friendly unto her, and to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him into her father's house: and when the father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
field: 7019004
7
19
4
And his father in law, the damsel's father, retained him; and he abode with him three days: so they did eat and drink, and lodged there.
field: 7019005
7
19

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.
field: 7019006

19
6
And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them together: for the damsel's father had said unto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart be merry.
field: 7019007
7
19
7
And when the man rose up to depart, his father in law urged him: therefore he lodged there again.
field: 7019008
7
19
8
And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the damsel's father said, Comfort thine heart, I pray thee. And they tarried until afternoon, and they did eat both of them.
field: 7019009
7
19
9
And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the damsel's father, said unto him, Behold, now the day draweth toward evening, I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day groweth to an end, lodge here, that thine heart may be merry; and to morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home.
field: 7019010
7
19
10
But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over against Jebus, which is Jerusalem; and there were with him two asses saddled, his concubine also was with him.
field: 7019011
7
19
11
And when they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said unto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.
field: 7019012
7
19
12
And his master said unto him, We will not turn aside hither into the city of a stranger, that is not of the children of Israel; we will pass over to Gibeah.
field: 7019013
7
19
13
And he said unto his servant, Come, and let us draw near to one of these places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in Ramah.
field: 7019014
7
19
14
And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin.
field: 7019015
7
19
15
And they turned aside thither, to go in and to lodge in Gibeah: and when he went in, he sat him down in a street of the city: for there was no man that took them into his house to lodging.
field: 7019016
7
19
16
And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even, which was also of mount Ephraim; and he sojourned in Gibeah: but the men of the place were Benjamites.
field: 7019017
7
19
17
And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a wayfaring man in the street of the city: and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?
field: 7019018
7
19
18
And he said unto him, We are passing from Bethlehemjudah toward the side of mount Ephraim; from thence am I: and I went to Bethlehemjudah, but I am now going to the house of the LORD; and there is no man that receiveth me to house.
field: 7019019
7
19
19
Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man which is with thy servants: there is no want of any thing.
field: 7019020
7
19
20
And the old man said, Peace be with thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street.
field: 7019021
7
19
21
So he brought him into his house, and gave provender unto the asses: and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.
field: 7019022
7
19
22
Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.
field: 7019023
7
19
23
And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly.
field: 7019024
7
19
24
Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing.
field: 7019025
7
19
25
But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
field: 7019026
7
19
26
Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light.
field: 7019027
7
19
27
And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold.
field: 7019028
7
19
28
And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place.
field: 7019029
7
19
29
And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, together with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel.
field: 7019030
7
19
30
And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day: consider of it, take advice, and speak your minds.
field: 7020001
7
20
1
Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh.
field: 7020002
7
20
2
And the chief of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.
field: 7020003
7
20
3
(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness?
field: 7020004
7
20
4
And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
field: 7020005
7
20
5
And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night, and thought to have slain me: and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead.
field: 7020006
7
20
6
And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.
field: 7020007
7
20
7
Behold, ye are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel.
field: 7020008
7
20
8
And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn into his house.
field: 7020009
7
20
9
But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up by lot against it;
field: 7020010
7
20
10
And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel.
field: 7020011
7
20
11
So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
field: 7020012
7
20
12
And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is done among you?
field: 7020013
7
20
13
Now therefore deliver us the men, the children of Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.
field: 7020014
7
20
14
But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
field: 7020015
7
20
15
And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
field: 7020016
7
20
16
Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss.
field: 7020017
7
20
17
And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.
field: 7020018
7
20
18
And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah shall go up first.
field: 7020019
7
20
19
And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
field: 7020020
7
20
20
And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah.
field: 7020021
7
20
21
And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two thousand men.
field: 7020022
7
20
22
And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.
field: 7020023
7
20
23
(And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him.)
field: 7020024
7
20
24
And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
field: 7020025
7
20
25
And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.
field: 7020026
7
20
26
Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
field: 7020027
7
20
27
And the children of Israel inquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
field: 7020028
7
20
28
And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days,) saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; for to morrow I will deliver them into thine hand.
field: 7020029
7
20
29
And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah.
field: 7020030
7
20
30
And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
field: 7020031
7
20
31
And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
field: 7020032
7
20
32
And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto the highways.
field: 7020033
7
20
33
And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baaltamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah.
field: 7020034
7
20
34
And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil was near them.
field: 7020035
7
20
35
And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword.
field: 7020036
7
20
36
So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.
field: 7020037
7
20
37
And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers in wait drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.
field: 7020038
7
20
38
Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city.
field: 7020039
7
20
39
And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle.
field: 7020040
7
20
40
But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven.
field: 7020041
7
20
41
And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them.
field: 7020042
7
20
42
Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them.
field: 7020043
7
20
43
Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising.
field: 7020044
7
20
44
And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valor.
field: 7020045
7
20
45
And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.
field: 7020046
7
20
46
So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valor.
field: 7020047
7
20
47
But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months.
field: 7020048
7
20
48
And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they came to.
field: 7021001
7
21
1
Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife.
field: 7021002
7
21
2
And the people came to the house of God, and abode there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore;
field: 7021003
7
21
3
And said, O LORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel?
field: 7021004
7
21
4
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
field: 7021005
7
21
5
And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death.
field: 7021006
7
21
6
And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
field: 7021007
7
21
7
How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?
field: 7021008
7
21
8
And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabeshgilead to the assembly.
field: 7021009
7
21
9
For the people were numbered, and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there.
field: 7021010
7
21
10
And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children.
field: 7021011
7
21
11
And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.
field: 7021012
7
21
12
And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
field: 7021013
7
21
13
And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them.
field: 7021014
7
21
14
And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabeshgilead: and yet so they sufficed them not.
field: 7021015
7
21
15
And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
field: 7021016
7
21
16
Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
field: 7021017
7
21
17
And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
field: 7021018
7
21
18
Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.
field: 7021019
7
21
19
Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of the LORD in Shiloh yearly in a place which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
field: 7021020
7
21
20
Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
field: 7021021
7
21
21
And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
field: 7021022
7
21
22
And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favorable 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.
field: 7021023
7
21
23
And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.
field: 7021024
7
21
24
And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.
field: 7021025
7
21
25
In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
field: 8001001

1
Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
field: 8001002
8
1
2
And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
field: 8001003
8
1
3
And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
field: 8001004
8
1
4
And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years.
field: 8001005
8
1
5
And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband.
field: 8001006
8
1
6
Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.
field: 8001007
8
1
7
Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah.
field: 8001008
8
1
8
And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
field: 8001009
8
1
9
The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
field: 8001010
8
1
10
And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people.
field: 8001011
8
1
11
And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
field: 8001012
8
1
12
Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;
field: 8001013
8
1
13
Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me.
field: 8001014
8
1
14
And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.
field: 8001015
8
1
15
And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.
field: 8001016
8
1
16
And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
field: 8001017
8
1
17
Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.
field: 8001018
8
1
18
When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.
field: 8001019
8
1
19
So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?
field: 8001020
8
1
20
And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.
field: 8001021
8
1
21
I went out full and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?
field: 8001022
8
1
22
So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
field: 8002001
8
2
1
And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.
field: 8002002
8
2
2
And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.
field: 8002003
8
2
3
And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
field: 8002004
8
2
4
And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee.
field: 8002005
8
2
5
Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?

And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:
field: 8002007
8
2
7
And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.
field: 8002008
8
2
8
Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:
field: 8002009
8
2
9
Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.
field: 8002010
8
2
10
Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?
field: 8002011
8
2
11
And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been showed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death 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.
field: 8002012
8
2
12
The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.
field: 8002013
8
2
13
Then she said, Let me find favor 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.
field: 8002014
8
2
14
And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left.
field: 8002015
8
2
15
And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:
field: 8002016
8
2
16
And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.
field: 8002017
8
2
17
So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.
field: 8002018
8
2
18
And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed.
field: 8002019
8
2
19
And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she showed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz.
field: 8002020
8
2
20
And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen.
field: 8002021
8
2
21
And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.
field: 8002022
8
2
22
And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.
field: 8002023
8
2
23
So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.
field: 8003001
8
3
1
Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
field: 8003002
8
3
2
And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.
field: 8003003
8
3
3
Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.
field: 8003004
8
3
4
And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
field: 8003005
8
3
5
And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.
field: 8003006
8
3
6
And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.
field: 8003007
8
3
7
And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.
field: 8003008
8
3
8
And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
field: 8003009
8
3
9
And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.
field: 8003010
8
3
10
And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast showed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.
field: 8003011
8
3
11
And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.
field: 8003012
8
3
12
And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.
field: 8003013
8
3
13
Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.
field: 8003014
8
3
14
And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.
field: 8003015
8
3
15
Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city.
field: 8003016
8
3
16
And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.
field: 8003017
8
3
17
And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.
field: 8003018
8
3
18
Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.
field: 8004001
8
4
1
Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.
field: 8004002
8
4
2
And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.
field: 8004003
8
4
3
And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's:
field: 8004004
8
4
4
And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.
field: 8004005
8
4
5
Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
field: 8004006
8
4
6
And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it.
field: 8004007
8
4
7
Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor: and this was a testimony in Israel.
field: 8004008
8
4
8
Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe.
field: 8004009
8
4
9
And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.
field: 8004010
8
4
10
Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.
field: 8004011
8
4
11
And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:
field: 8004012
8
4
12
And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman.
field: 8004013
8
4
13
So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.
field: 8004014
8
4
14
And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
field: 8004015
8
4
15
And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.
field: 8004016
8
4
16
And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.
field: 8004017
8
4
17
And the women her neighbors gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
field: 8004018
8
4
18
Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
field: 8004019
8
4
19
And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
field: 8004020
8
4
20
And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
field: 8004021
8
4
21
And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
field: 8004022
8
4
22
And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
field: 9001001

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:
field: 9001002
9
1
2
And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
field: 9001003
9
1
3
And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there.
field: 9001004
9
1
4
And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
field: 9001005
9
1
5
But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.
field: 9001006
9
1
6
And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
field: 9001007
9
1
7
And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
field: 9001008
9
1
8
Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?
field: 9001009
9
1
9
So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD.
field: 9001010
9
1
10
And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.
field: 9001011
9
1
11
And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.
field: 9001012
9
1
12
And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth.
field: 9001013
9
1
13
Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
field: 9001014
9
1
14
And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.
field: 9001015
9
1
15
And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.
field: 9001016
9
1
16
Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.
field: 9001017
9
1
17
Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
field: 9001018
9
1
18
And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.
field: 9001019
9
1
19
And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
field: 9001020
9
1
20
Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.
field: 9001021
9
1
21
And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.
field: 9001022
9
1
22
But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever.
field: 9001023
9
1
23
And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the LORD establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him.
field: 9001024
9
1
24
And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young.
field: 9001025
9
1
25
And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli.
field: 9001026
9
1
26
And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.
field: 9001027
9
1
27
For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:
field: 9001028
9
1
28
Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there.
field: 9002001
9
2
1
And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
field: 9002002
9
2
2
There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
field: 9002003
9
2
3
Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
field: 9002004
9
2
4
The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
field: 9002005
9
2
5
They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
field: 9002006
9
2
6
The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.
field: 9002007
9
2
7
The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
field: 9002008
9
2
8
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them.
field: 9002009
9
2
9
He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
field: 9002010
9
2
10
The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
field: 9002011
9
2
11
And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.
field: 9002012
9
2
12
Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.
field: 9002013
9
2
13
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;
field: 9002014
9
2
14
And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.
field: 9002015
9
2
15
Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.
field: 9002016
9
2
16
And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.
field: 9002017
9
2
17
Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.
field: 9002018
9
2
18
But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
field: 9002019
9
2
19
Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
field: 9002020
9
2
20
And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home.
field: 9002021
9
2
21
And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.
field: 9002022
9
2
22
Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
field: 9002023
9
2
23
And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.
field: 9002024
9
2
24
Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD's people to transgress.
field: 9002025
9
2
25
If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.
field: 9002026
9
2
26
And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favor both with the LORD, and also with men.
field: 9002027
9
2
27
And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?
field: 9002028
9
2
28
And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?
field: 9002029
9
2
29
Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honorest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
field: 9002030
9
2
30
Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honor me I will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
field: 9002031
9
2
31
Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.
field: 9002032
9
2
32
And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.
field: 9002033
9
2
33
And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.
field: 9002034
9
2
34
And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.
field: 9002035
9
2
35
And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.
field: 9002036
9
2
36
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
field: 9003001

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.
field: 9003002
9
3
2
And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see;
field: 9003003
9
3
3
And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;
field: 9003004
9
3
4
That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.
field: 9003005
9
3
5
And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.
field: 9003006
9
3
6
And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.
field: 9003007
9
3
7
Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him.

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.
field: 9003009

9
Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
field: 9003010
9
3
10
And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
field: 9003011
9
3
11
And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
field: 9003012
9
3
12
In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.
field: 9003013
9
3
13
For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
field: 9003014
9
3
14
And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.
field: 9003015
9

15
And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.
field: 9003016
9
3
16
Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.
field: 9003017
9
3
17
And he said, What is the thing that the LORD hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee.
field: 9003018
9
3
18
And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good.
field: 9003019
9
3
19
And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.
field: 9003020
9
3
20
And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
field: 9003021
9
3
21
And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.
field: 9004001
9
4
1
And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.
field: 9004002
9
4
2
And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.
field: 9004003
9
4
3
And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.
field: 9004004
9
4
4
So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubim: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
field: 9004005
9
4
5
And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
field: 9004006
9
4
6
And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp.
field: 9004007
9
4
7
And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.
field: 9004008
9
4
8
Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.
field: 9004009
9
4
9
Be strong and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.
field: 9004010
9
4
10
And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
field: 9004011
9
4
11
And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
field: 9004012
9
4
12
And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.
field: 9004013
9
4
13
And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.
field: 9004014
9
4
14
And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.
field: 9004015
9
4
15
Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.
field: 9004016
9
4
16
And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?
field: 9004017
9
4
17
And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
field: 9004018
9
4
18
And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
field: 9004019
9
4
19
And his daughter in law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her.
field: 9004020
9
4
20
And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it.
field: 9004021
9
4
21
And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.
field: 9004022
9
4
22
And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.
field: 9005001
9

1
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer unto Ashdod.
field: 9005002
9
5
2
When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
field: 9005003
9
5
3
And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
field: 9005004
9
5
4
And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
field: 9005005
9
5
5
Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day.
field: 9005006
9
5
6
But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof.
field: 9005007
9
5
7
And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
field: 9005008
9
5
8
They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about thither.
field: 9005009
9
5
9
And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts.
field: 9005010
9
5
10
Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people.
field: 9005011
9
5
11
So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
field: 9005012
9
5
12
And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
field: 9006001
9
6
1
And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
field: 9006002
9
6
2
And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place.
field: 9006003
9
6
3
And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.
field: 9006004
9
6
4
Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.
field: 9006005
9
6
5
Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
field: 9006006
9
6
6
Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?
field: 9006007
9
6
7
Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:
field: 9006008
9
6
8
And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him for a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.
field: 9006009
9
6
9
And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Bethshemesh, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us: it was a chance that happened to us.
field: 9006010
9
6
10
And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:
field: 9006011
9
6
11
And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.
field: 9006012
9
6
12
And the kine took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Bethshemesh.
field: 9006013
9
6
13
And they of Bethshemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
field: 9006014
9
6
14
And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt offering unto the LORD.
field: 9006015
9
6
15
And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Bethshemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto the LORD.
field: 9006016
9
6
16
And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
field: 9006017
9
6
17
And these are the golden emerods which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering unto the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
field: 9006018
9
6
18
And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Bethshemite.
field: 9006019
9
6
19
And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.
field: 9006020
9
6
20
And the men of Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
field: 9006021
9
6
21
And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjathjearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, and fetch it up to you.
field: 9007001
9
7
1
And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.
field: 9007002
9
7
2
And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.
field: 9007003
9
7
3
And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
field: 9007004
9
7
4
Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
field: 9007005
9
7
5
And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD.
field: 9007006
9
7
6
And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.
field: 9007007
9
7
7
And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
field: 9007008
9
7
8
And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
field: 9007009
9
7
9
And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.
field: 9007010
9
7
10
And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.
field: 9007011
9
7
11
And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Bethcar.
field: 9007012
9
7
12
Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.
field: 9007013
9
7
13
So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
field: 9007014
9
7
14
And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
field: 9007015
9
7
15
And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
field: 9007016
9
7
16
And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.
field: 9007017
9
7
17
And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD.
field: 9008001
9
8
1
And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
field: 9008002
9
8
2
Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba.
field: 9008003
9
8
3
And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
field: 9008004
9
8
4
Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
field: 9008005
9
8
5
And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
field: 9008006
9
8
6
But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
field: 9008007
9
8
7
And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
field: 9008008
9
8
8
According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
field: 9008009
9
8
9
Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and show them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
field: 9008010
9
8
10
And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.
field: 9008011
9
8
11
And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.
field: 9008012
9
8
12
And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.
field: 9008013
9
8
13
And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
field: 9008014
9
8
14
And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
field: 9008015
9
8
15
And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
field: 9008016
9
8
16
And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.
field: 9008017
9
8
17
He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.
field: 9008018
9
8
18
And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
field: 9008019
9
8
19
Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
field: 9008020
9
8
20
That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.
field: 9008021
9
8
21
And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
field: 9008022
9
8
22
And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.
field: 9009001
9
9
1
Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power.
field: 9009002
9
9
2
And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.
field: 9009003
9
9
3
And the asses of Kish Saul's father were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with thee, and arise, go seek the asses.
field: 9009004
9
9
4
And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they found them not: then they passed through the land of Shalim, and there they were not: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found them not.
field: 9009005
9
9
5
And when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come, and let us return; lest my father leave caring for the asses, and take thought for us.
field: 9009006
9
9
6
And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honorable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can show us our way that we should go.
field: 9009007
9
9
7
Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we?
field: 9009008
9
9
8
And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way.
field: 9009009
9
9
9
(Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)
field: 9009010
9
9
10
Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God was.
field: 9009011
9
9
11
And as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here?
field: 9009012
9
9
12
And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place:
field: 9009013
9
9
13
As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him.
field: 9009014
9
9
14
And they went up into the city: and when they were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place.
field: 9009015
9
9
15
Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,
field: 9009016
9
9
16
To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me.
field: 9009017
9
9
17
And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people.
field: 9009018
9
9
18
Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house is.

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.

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?
field: 9009021
9
9
21
And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore then speakest thou so to me?
field: 9009022
9
9
22
And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the parlor, and made them sit in the chiefest place among them that were bidden, which were about thirty persons.
field: 9009023
9
9
23
And Samuel said unto the cook, Bring the portion which I gave thee, of which I said unto thee, Set it by thee.
field: 9009024
9
9
24
And the cook took up the shoulder, and that which was upon it, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, Behold that which is left! set it before thee, and eat: for unto this time hath it been kept for thee since I said, I have invited the people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day.
field: 9009025
9
9
25
And when they were come down from the high place into the city, Samuel communed with Saul upon the top of the house.
field: 9009026
9
9
26
And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad.
field: 9009027
9
9
27
And as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on), but stand thou still a while, that I may show thee the word of God.
field: 9010001
9
10
1
Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?
field: 9010002
9
10
2
When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
field: 9010003
9
10
3
Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:
field: 9010004
9
10
4
And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands.
field: 9010005
9
10
5
After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:
field: 9010006
9
10
6
And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
field: 9010007
9
10
7
And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee.
field: 9010008
9
10
8
And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, and show thee what thou shalt do.
field: 9010009
9
10
9
And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.
field: 9010010
9
10
10
And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.
field: 9010011
9
10
11
And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
field: 9010012
9
10
12
And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
field: 9010013
9
10
13
And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
field: 9010014
9
10
14
And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that they were no where, we came to Samuel.
field: 9010015
9
10
15
And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you.
field: 9010016
9
10
16
And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not.
field: 9010017
9
10
17
And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpeh;
field: 9010018
9
10
18
And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you:
field: 9010019
9
10
19
And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.
field: 9010020
9
10
20
And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
field: 9010021
9
10
21
When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found.
field: 9010022
9
10
22
Therefore they inquired of the LORD further, if the man should yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold he hath hid himself among the stuff.
field: 9010023
9
10
23
And they ran and fetched him thence: and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
field: 9010024
9
10
24
And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.
field: 9010025
9
10
25
Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
field: 9010026
9
10
26
And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched.
field: 9010027
9
10
27
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.
field: 9011001
9
11
1
Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
field: 9011002
9
11
2
And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel.
field: 9011003
9
11
3
And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if there be no man to save us, we will come out to thee.
field: 9011004
9
11
4
Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.
field: 9011005
9
11
5
And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.
field: 9011006
9
11
6
And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.
field: 9011007
9
11
7
And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
field: 9011008
9
11
8
And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
field: 9011009
9
11
9
And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and showed it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
field: 9011010
9
11
10
Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you.
field: 9011011
9
11
11
And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
field: 9011012
9
11
12
And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.
field: 9011013
9
11
13
And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel.
field: 9011014
9
11
14
Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.
field: 9011015
9
11
15
And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
field: 9012001
9
12
1
And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you.
field: 9012002
9
12
2
And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day.
field: 9012003
9
12
3
Behold, here I am: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.
field: 9012004
9
12
4
And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand.
field: 9012005
9
12
5
And he said unto them, The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, He is witness.
field: 9012006
9
12
6
And Samuel said unto the people, It is the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.
field: 9012007
9
12
7
Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers.
field: 9012008
9
12
8
When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.
field: 9012009
9
12
9
And when they forgat the LORD their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
field: 9012010
9
12
10
And they cried unto the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.
field: 9012011
9
12
11
And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe.
field: 9012012
9
12
12
And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the LORD your God was your king.
field: 9012013
9
12
13
Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you.
field: 9012014
9
12
14
If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:
field: 9012015
9
12
15
But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers.
field: 9012016
9
12
16
Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes.
field: 9012017
9
12
17
Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king.
field: 9012018
9
12
18
So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.
field: 9012019
9
12
19
And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.
field: 9012020
9
12
20
And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;
field: 9012021
9
12
21
And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.
field: 9012022
9
12
22
For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.
field: 9012023
9
12
23
Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
field: 9012024
9
12
24
Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.
field: 9012025
9
12
25
But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.
field: 9013001

Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,
field: 9013002
9
13
2
Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in mount Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
field: 9013003
9
13
3
And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
field: 9013004
9
13
4
And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.
field: 9013005
9
13
5
And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward from Bethaven.
field: 9013006
9
13
6
When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, (for the people were distressed,) then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.
field: 9013007
9
13
7
And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
field: 9013008
9
13
8
And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
field: 9013009
9
13
9
And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.
field: 9013010
9
13
10
And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
field: 9013011
9
13
11
And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash;
field: 9013012
9
13
12
Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering.
field: 9013013
9
13
13
And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
field: 9013014
9
13
14
But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.
field: 9013015
9
13
15
And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.
field: 9013016
9
13
16
And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
field: 9013017
9
13
17
And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual:
field: 9013018
9
13
18
And another company turned the way to Bethhoron: and another company turned to the way of the border that looketh to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
field: 9013019
9
13
19
Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:
field: 9013020
9
13
20
But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.
field: 9013021
9
13
21
Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads.
field: 9013022
9
13
22
So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
field: 9013023
9
13
23
And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash.
field: 9014001
9
14
1
Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armor, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that is on the other side. But he told not his father.
field: 9014002
9
14
2
And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men;
field: 9014003
9
14
3
And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD's priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.
field: 9014004
9
14
4
And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines' garrison, there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
field: 9014005
9
14
5
The forefront of the one was situate northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah.
field: 9014006
9
14
6
And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armor, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.
field: 9014007
9
14
7
And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.
field: 9014008
9
14
8
Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will discover ourselves unto them.
field: 9014009
9
14
9
If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them.
field: 9014010
9
14
10
But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a sign unto us.
field: 9014011
9
14
11
And both of them discovered themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.
field: 9014012
9
14
12
And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.
field: 9014013
9
14
13
And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armourbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew after him.
field: 9014014
9
14
14
And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen might plow.
field: 9014015
9
14
15
And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling.
field: 9014016
9
14
16
And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down one another.
field: 9014017
9
14
17
Then said Saul unto the people that were with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there.
field: 9014018
9
14
18
And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.
field: 9014019
9
14
19
And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand.
field: 9014020
9
14
20
And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.
field: 9014021
9
14
21
Moreover the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that time, which went up with them into the camp from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.
field: 9014022
9
14
22
Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
field: 9014023
9
14
23
So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over unto Bethaven.
field: 9014024
9
14
24
And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food.
field: 9014025
9
14
25
And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.
field: 9014026
9
14
26
And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.
field: 9014027
9
14
27
But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.
field: 9014028
9
14
28
Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. And the people were faint.
field: 9014029
9
14
29
Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
field: 9014030
9
14
30
How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?
field: 9014031
9
14
31
And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint.
field: 9014032
9
14
32
And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood.
field: 9014033
9
14
33
Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day.
field: 9014034
9
14
34
And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.
field: 9014035
9
14
35
And Saul built an altar unto the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD.
field: 9014036
9
14
36
And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.
field: 9014037
9
14
37
And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day.
field: 9014038
9
14
38
And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.
field: 9014039
9
14
39
For, as the LORD liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people that answered him.
field: 9014040
9
14
40
Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee.
field: 9014041
9
14
41
Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped.
field: 9014042
9
14
42
And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
field: 9014043
9
14
43
Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in mine hand, and, lo, I must die.
field: 9014044
9
14
44
And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.
field: 9014045
9
14
45
And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid: as the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not.
field: 9014046
9
14
46
Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place.
field: 9014047
9
14
47
So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he vexed them.
field: 9014048
9
14
48
And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them.
field: 9014049
9
14
49
Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchishua: and the names of his two daughters were these; the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:
field: 9014050
9
14
50
And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.
field: 9014051
9
14
51
And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.
field: 9014052
9
14
52
And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him.
field: 9015001
9
15
1
Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD.
field: 9015002
9
15
2
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
field: 9015003
9
15
3
Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
field: 9015004
9
15
4
And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
field: 9015005
9
15
5
And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.
field: 9015006
9
15
6
And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye showed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
field: 9015007
9
15
7
And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt.
field: 9015008
9
15
8
And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
field: 9015009
9
15
9
But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
field: 9015010
9
15
10
Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,
field: 9015011
9
15
11
It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.
field: 9015012
9
15
12
And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
field: 9015013
9
15
13
And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD.
field: 9015014
9
15
14
And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
field: 9015015
9
15
15
And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
field: 9015016
9
15
16
Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on.
field: 9015017
9
15
17
And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?
field: 9015018
9
15
18
And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.
field: 9015019
9
15
19
Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD?
field: 9015020
9
15
20
And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
field: 9015021
9
15
21
But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal.
field: 9015022
9
15
22
And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
field: 9015023
9
15
23
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
field: 9015024
9
15
24
And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
field: 9015025
9
15
25
Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD.
field: 9015026
9
15
26
And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
field: 9015027
9
15
27
And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
field: 9015028
9
15
28
And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbor of thine, that is better than thou.
field: 9015029
9
15
29
And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.
field: 9015030
9
15
30
Then he said, I have sinned: yet honor me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.
field: 9015031
9
15
31
So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.
field: 9015032
9
15
32
Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
field: 9015033
9
15
33
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.
field: 9015034
9
15
34
Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
field: 9015035
9
15
35
And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
field: 9016001
9
16
1
And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
field: 9016002
9
16
2
And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the LORD said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the LORD.
field: 9016003
9
16
3
And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee.
field: 9016004
9
16
4
And Samuel did that which the LORD spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?
field: 9016005
9
16
5
And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the LORD: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
field: 9016006
9
16
6
And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD's anointed is before him.
field: 9016007
9
16
7
But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.
field: 9016008
9
16
8
Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.
field: 9016009
9
16
9
Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.
field: 9016010
9
16
10
Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these.
field: 9016011
9
16
11
And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.
field: 9016012
9
16
12
And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
field: 9016013
9
16
13
Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
field: 9016014
9
16
14
But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
field: 9016015
9
16
15
And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
field: 9016016
9
16
16
Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.
field: 9016017
9
16
17
And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
field: 9016018
9
16
18
Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.
field: 9016019
9
16
19
Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep.
field: 9016020
9
16
20
And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul.
field: 9016021
9
16
21
And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.
field: 9016022
9
16
22
And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favor in my sight.
field: 9016023
9
16
23
And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
field: 9017001
9
17
1
Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.
field: 9017002
9
17
2
And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
field: 9017003
9
17
3
And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
field: 9017004
9
17
4
And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
field: 9017005
9
17
5
And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.
field: 9017006
9
17
6
And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders.
field: 9017007
9
17
7
And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.
field: 9017008
9
17
8
And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.
field: 9017009
9
17
9
If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.
field: 9017010
9
17
10
And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
field: 9017011
9
17
11
When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
field: 9017012
9
17
12
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul.
field: 9017013
9
17
13
And the three eldest sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
field: 9017014
9
17
14
And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.
field: 9017015
9
17
15
But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
field: 9017016
9
17
16
And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
field: 9017017
9
17
17
And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp of thy brethren;
field: 9017018
9
17
18
And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.
field: 9017019
9
17
19
Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
field: 9017020
9
17
20
And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle.
field: 9017021
9
17
21
For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army.
field: 9017022
9
17
22
And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren.
field: 9017023
9
17
23
And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them.
field: 9017024
9
17
24
And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
field: 9017025
9
17
25
And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.
field: 9017026
9
17
26
And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
field: 9017027
9
17
27
And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
field: 9017028
9
17
28
And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
field: 9017029
9
17
29
And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
field: 9017030
9
17
30
And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
field: 9017031
9
17
31
And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him.
field: 9017032
9
17
32
And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
field: 9017033
9
17
33
And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
field: 9017034
9
17
34
And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
field: 9017035
9
17
35
And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
field: 9017036
9
17
36
Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
field: 9017037
9
17
37
David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.
field: 9017038
9
17
38
And Saul armed David with his armor, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.
field: 9017039
9
17
39
And David girded his sword upon his armor, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
field: 9017040
9
17
40
And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
field: 9017041
9
17
41
And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him.
field: 9017042
9
17
42
And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.
field: 9017043
9
17
43
And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
field: 9017044
9
17
44
And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
field: 9017045

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.
field: 9017046
9
17
46
This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
field: 9017047
9
17
47
And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hands.
field: 9017048
9
17
48
And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came, and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
field: 9017049
9
17
49
And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
field: 9017050
9
17
50
So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
field: 9017051
9
17
51
Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.
field: 9017052
9
17
52
And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.
field: 9017053
9
17
53
And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents.
field: 9017054
9
17
54
And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent.
field: 9017055
9
17
55
And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.
field: 9017056
9
17
56
And the king said, Inquire thou whose son the stripling is.
field: 9017057
9
17
57
And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
field: 9017058
9
17
58
And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, thou young man? And David answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.
field: 9018001
9
18
1
And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
field: 9018002
9
18
2
And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
field: 9018003
9
18
3
Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
field: 9018004
9
18
4
And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
field: 9018005
9
18
5
And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
field: 9018006
9
18
6
And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of music.
field: 9018007
9
18
7
And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
field: 9018008
9
18
8
And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?
field: 9018009
9
18
9
And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
field: 9018010
9
18
10
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand.
field: 9018011
9
18
11
And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice.
field: 9018012
9
18
12
And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul.
field: 9018013
9
18
13
Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
field: 9018014
9
18
14
And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
field: 9018015
9
18
15
Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.
field: 9018016
9
18
16
But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.
field: 9018017
9
18
17
And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD's battles. For Saul said, Let not mine hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.
field: 9018018
9
18
18
And David said unto Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son in law to the king?
field: 9018019
9
18
19
But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife.
field: 9018020
9
18
20
And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
field: 9018021
9
18
21
And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in the one of the twain.
field: 9018022
9
18
22
And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king's son in law.
field: 9018023
9
18
23
And Saul's servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a king's son in law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
field: 9018024
9
18
24
And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David.
field: 9018025
9
18
25
And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
field: 9018026
9
18
26
And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son in law: and the days were not expired.
field: 9018027
9
18
27
Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.
field: 9018028
9
18
28
And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal Saul's daughter loved him.
field: 9018029
9
18
29
And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David's enemy continually.
field: 9018030
9
18
30
Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.
field: 9019001
9
19
1
And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.
field: 9019002
9
19
2
But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:
field: 9019003
9
19
3
And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee.
field: 9019004
9
19
4
And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:
field: 9019005
9
19
5
For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
field: 9019006
9
19
6
And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.
field: 9019007
9
19
7
And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.
field: 9019008
9
19
8
And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him.
field: 9019009
9
19
9
And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand.
field: 9019010
9
19
10
And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin: but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
field: 9019011
9
19
11
Saul also sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain.
field: 9019012
9
19
12
So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
field: 9019013
9
19
13
And Michal took an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth.
field: 9019014
9
19
14
And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
field: 9019015
9
19
15
And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
field: 9019016
9
19
16
And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster.
field: 9019017
9
19
17
And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?
field: 9019018
9
19
18
So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
field: 9019019
9
19
19
And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.
field: 9019020
9
19
20
And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
field: 9019021
9
19
21
And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.
field: 9019022
9
19
22
Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.
field: 9019023
9
19
23
And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
field: 9019024
9
19
24
And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?
field: 9020001
9
20
1
And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
field: 9020002
9
20
2
And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will show it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.
field: 9020003
9
20
3
And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.
field: 9020004
9
20
4
Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.
field: 9020005
9
20
5
And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.
field: 9020006
9
20
6
If thy father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
field: 9020007
9
20
7
If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him.
field: 9020008
9
20
8
Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?
field: 9020009
9
20
9
And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?
field: 9020010
9
20
10
Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father answer thee roughly?
field: 9020011
9
20
11
And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
field: 9020012
9
20
12
And Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not unto thee, and show it thee;
field: 9020013
9
20
13
The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will show it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
field: 9020014
9
20
14
And thou shalt not only while yet I live show me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not:
field: 9020015
9
20
15
But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
field: 9020016
9
20
16
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies.
field: 9020017
9
20
17
And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
field: 9020018
9
20
18
Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.
field: 9020019
9
20
19
And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
field: 9020020
9
20
20
And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.
field: 9020021
9
20
21
And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and no hurt; as the LORD liveth.
field: 9020022
9
20
22
But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way: for the LORD hath sent thee away.
field: 9020023
9
20
23
And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between thee and me for ever.
field: 9020024
9
20
24
So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat.
field: 9020025
9
20
25
And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty.
field: 9020026
9
20
26
Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.
field: 9020027
9
20
27
And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?
field: 9020028
9
20
28
And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem:
field: 9020029
9
20
29
And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favor in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king's table.
field: 9020030
9
20
30
Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness?
field: 9020031
9
20
31
For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.
field: 9020032
9
20
32
And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done?
field: 9020033
9
20
33
And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.
field: 9020034
9
20
34
So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
field: 9020035
9
20
35
And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
field: 9020036
9
20
36
And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
field: 9020037
9
20
37
And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?
field: 9020038
9
20
38
And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
field: 9020039
9
20
39
But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
field: 9020040
9
20
40
And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.
field: 9020041
9
20
41
And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
field: 9020042
9
20
42
And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
field: 9021001
9
21
1
Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?
field: 9021002
9
21
2
And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.
field: 9021003
9
21
3
Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.
field: 9021004
9
21
4
And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.
field: 9021005
9
21
5
And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.
field: 9021006
9
21
6
So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the showbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
field: 9021007
9
21
7
Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul.
field: 9021008
9
21
8
And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thine hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.
field: 9021009
9
21
9
And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.
field: 9021010
9
21
10
And David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
field: 9021011
9
21
11
And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
field: 9021012
9
21
12
And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
field: 9021013
9
21
13
And he changed his behavior before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.
field: 9021014
9
21
14
Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought him to me?
field: 9021015
9
21
15
Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?
field: 9022001
9
22
1
David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him.
field: 9022002
9
22
2
And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
field: 9022003

22
3
And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me.
field: 9022004
9
22
4
And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold.
field: 9022005
9
22
5
And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.
field: 9022006
9
22
6
When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him;)
field: 9022007
9
22
7
Then Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds;
field: 9022008
9
22
8
That all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that showeth me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or showeth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
field: 9022009
9
22
9
Then answered Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
field: 9022010
9
22
10
And he inquired of the LORD for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
field: 9022011
9
22
11
Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
field: 9022012
9
22
12
And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.
field: 9022013
9
22
13
And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
field: 9022014
9
22
14
Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David, which is the king's son in law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honorable in thine house?
field: 9022015
9
22
15
Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father: for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.
field: 9022016
9
22
16
And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.
field: 9022017
9
22
17
And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD: because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not show it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD.
field: 9022018
9
22
18
And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod.
field: 9022019
9
22
19
And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
field: 9022020
9
22
20
And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
field: 9022021
9
22
21
And Abiathar showed David that Saul had slain the LORD's priests.
field: 9022022
9
22
22
And David said unto Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned the death of all the persons of thy father's house.
field: 9022023
9
22
23
Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard.
field: 9023001
9
23
1
Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshingfloors.
field: 9023002
9
23
2
Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the LORD said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah.
field: 9023003
9
23
3
And David's men said unto him, Behold, we be afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we come to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?
field: 9023004
9
23
4
Then David inquired of the LORD yet again. And the LORD answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thine hand.
field: 9023005
9
23
5
So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
field: 9023006
9
23
6
And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand.
field: 9023007
9
23
7
And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars.
field: 9023008
9
23
8
And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
field: 9023009
9
23
9
And David knew that Saul secretly practiced mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod.
field: 9023010
9
23
10
Then said David, O LORD God of Israel, thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
field: 9023011
9
23
11
Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O LORD God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the LORD said, He will come down.
field: 9023012
9
23
12
Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the LORD said, They will deliver thee up.
field: 9023013
9
23
13
Then David and his men, which were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbare to go forth.
field: 9023014
9
23
14
And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.
field: 9023015
9
23
15
And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood.
field: 9023016
9
23
16
And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.
field: 9023017
9
23
17
And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth.
field: 9023018
9
23
18
And they two made a covenant before the LORD: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.
field: 9023019
9
23
19
Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in strong holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?
field: 9023020
9
23
20
Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him into the king's hand.
field: 9023021
9
23
21
And Saul said, Blessed be ye of the LORD; for ye have compassion on me.
field: 9023022
9
23
22
Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who hath seen him there: for it is told me that he dealeth very subtilly.
field: 9023023
9
23
23
See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah.
field: 9023024
9
23
24
And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon.
field: 9023025
9
23
25
Saul also and his men went to seek him. And they told David; wherefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.
field: 9023026
9
23
26
And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them.
field: 9023027
9
23
27
But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.
field: 9023028
9
23
28
Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Selahammahlekoth.
field: 9023029
9
23
29
And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at Engedi.
field: 9024001
9
24
1
And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.
field: 9024002
9
24
2
Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.
field: 9024003
9
24
3
And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave.
field: 9024004
9
24
4
And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the LORD said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.
field: 9024005
9
24
5
And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.
field: 9024006
9
24
6
And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD's anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD.
field: 9024007
9
24
7
So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
field: 9024008
9
24
8
David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself.
field: 9024009
9
24
9
And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?
field: 9024010
9
24
10
Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the LORD's anointed.
field: 9024011
9
24
11
Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it.
field: 9024012
9
24
12
The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
field: 9024013
9
24
13
As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
field: 9024014
9
24
14
After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.
field: 9024015
9
24
15
The LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hand.
field: 9024016
9
24
16
And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
field: 9024017
9
24
17
And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil.
field: 9024018
9
24
18
And thou hast showed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me into thine hand, thou killedst me not.
field: 9024019
9
24
19
For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? wherefore the LORD reward thee good for that thou hast done unto me this day.
field: 9024020
9
24
20
And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand.
field: 9024021
9
24
21
Swear now therefore unto me by the LORD, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father's house.
field: 9024022
9
24
22
And David sware unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men gat them up unto the hold.
field: 9025001
9
25
1
And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
field: 9025002
9
25
2
And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
field: 9025003
9
25
3
Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.
field: 9025004
9
25
4
And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.
field: 9025005
9
25
5
And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:
field: 9025006
9
25
6
And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.
field: 9025007
9
25
7
And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.
field: 9025008
9
25
8
Ask thy young men, and they will show thee. Wherefore let the young men find favor in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.
field: 9025009
9
25
9
And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
field: 9025010
9
25
10
And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.
field: 9025011
9
25
11
Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be?
field: 9025012
9
25
12
So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.
field: 9025013
9
25
13
And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff.
field: 9025014
9
25
14
But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them.
field: 9025015
9
25
15
But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:
field: 9025016
9
25
16
They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
field: 9025017
9
25
17
Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.
field: 9025018
9
25
18
Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.
field: 9025019
9
25
19
And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.
field: 9025020
9
25
20
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.
field: 9025021
9
25
21
Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good.
field: 9025022
9
25
22
So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
field: 9025023
9
25
23
And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
field: 9025024
9
25
24
And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.
field: 9025025
9
25
25
Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.
field: 9025026
9
25
26
Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
field: 9025027
9
25
27
And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord.
field: 9025028
9
25
28
I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.
field: 9025029
9
25
29
Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.
field: 9025030
9
25
30
And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;
field: 9025031
9
25
31
That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offense of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.
field: 9025032
9
25
32
And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me:
field: 9025033
9
25
33
And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
field: 9025034
9
25
34
For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
field: 9025035
9
25
35
So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
field: 9025036
9
25
36
And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
field: 9025037
9
25
37
But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
field: 9025038
9
25
38
And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died.
field: 9025039
9
25
39
And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.
field: 9025040
9
25
40
And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife.
field: 9025041
9
25
41
And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
field: 9025042
9
25
42
And Abigail hasted, and arose and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
field: 9025043
9
25
43
David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.
field: 9025044
9
25
44
But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which was of Gallim.
field: 9026001
9
26
1
And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?
field: 9026002
9
26
2
Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
field: 9026003
9
26
3
And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
field: 9026004
9
26
4
David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come in very deed.
field: 9026005
9
26
5
And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched round about him.
field: 9026006
9
26
6
Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.
field: 9026007

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.
field: 9026008
9
26
8
Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.
field: 9026009
9
26
9
And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD's anointed, and be guiltless?
field: 9026010
9
26
10
David said furthermore, As the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.
field: 9026011
9
26
11
The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the LORD's anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.
field: 9026012
9
26
12
So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen upon them.
field: 9026013
9
26
13
Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; a great space being between them:
field: 9026014
9
26
14
And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king?
field: 9026015
9
26
15
And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.
field: 9026016
9
26
16
This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the LORD liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the LORD's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster.
field: 9026017
9
26
17
And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.
field: 9026018
9
26
18
And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand?
field: 9026019
9
26
19
Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.
field: 9026020
9
26
20
Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.
field: 9026021
9
26
21
Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.
field: 9026022
9
26
22
And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.
field: 9026023
9
26
23
The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the LORD delivered thee into my hand to day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against the LORD's anointed.
field: 9026024
9
26
24
And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.
field: 9026025
9
26
25
Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt both do great things, and also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
field: 9027001
9
27
1
And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand.
field: 9027002
9
27
2
And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
field: 9027003
9
27
3
And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
field: 9027004
9
27
4
And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.
field: 9027005
9
27
5
And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?
field: 9027006
9
27
6
Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.
field: 9027007
9
27
7
And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
field: 9027008
9
27
8
And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and the Amalekites: for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt.
field: 9027009
9
27
9
And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish.
field: 9027010
9
27
10
And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to day? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites.
field: 9027011
9
27
11
And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so will be his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines.
field: 9027012
9
27
12
And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever.
field: 9028001
9
28
1
And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men.
field: 9028002
9
28
2
And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head for ever.
field: 9028003
9
28
3
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
field: 9028004
9
28
4
And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa.
field: 9028005
9
28
5
And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.
field: 9028006
9
28
6
And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
field: 9028007
9
28
7
Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.
field: 9028008
9
28
8
And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee.
field: 9028009
9
28
9
And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
field: 9028010
9
28
10
And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.
field: 9028011
9
28
11
Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
field: 9028012
9
28
12
And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.
field: 9028013
9
28
13
And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
field: 9028014
9
28
14
And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
field: 9028015
9
28
15
And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.
field: 9028016
9
28
16
Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?
field: 9028017
9
28
17
And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbor, even to David:
field: 9028018
9
28
18
Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day.
field: 9028019
9
28
19
Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.
field: 9028020
9
28
20
Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.
field: 9028021
9
28
21
And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest unto me.
field: 9028022
9
28
22
Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way.
field: 9028023
9
28
23
But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.
field: 9028024
9
28
24
And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof:
field: 9028025
9
28
25
And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
field: 9029001
9
29
1
Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which is in Jezreel.
field: 9029002
9
29
2
And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rearward with Achish.
field: 9029003
9
29
3
Then said the princes of the Philistines, What do these Hebrews here? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell unto me unto this day?
field: 9029004
9
29
4
And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make this fellow return, that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he be an adversary to us: for wherewith should he reconcile himself unto his master? should it not be with the heads of these men?
field: 9029005
9
29
5
Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
field: 9029006
9
29
6
Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, as the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favor thee not.
field: 9029007
9
29
7
Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines.
field: 9029008
9
29
8
And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been with thee unto this day, that I may not go fight against the enemies of my lord the king?
field: 9029009
9
29
9
And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God: notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.
field: 9029010
9
29
10
Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with thy master's servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye be up early in the morning, and have light, depart.
field: 9029011
9
29
11
So David and his men rose up early to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
field: 9030001
9
30
1
And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
field: 9030002
9
30
2
And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.
field: 9030003
9
30
3
So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
field: 9030004
9
30
4
Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
field: 9030005
9
30
5
And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
field: 9030006
9
30
6
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
field: 9030007
9
30
7
And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
field: 9030008
9
30
8
And David inquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.
field: 9030009
9
30
9
So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
field: 9030010
9
30
10
But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
field: 9030011
9
30
11
And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;
field: 9030012
9
30
12
And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
field: 9030013
9
30
13
And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.
field: 9030014
9
30
14
We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
field: 9030015
9
30
15
And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.
field: 9030016
9
30
16
And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
field: 9030017
9
30
17
And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.
field: 9030018
9
30
18
And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.
field: 9030019
9
30
19
And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.
field: 9030020
9
30
20
And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.
field: 9030021
9
30
21
And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
field: 9030022
9
30
22
Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.
field: 9030023
9
30
23
Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.
field: 9030024
9
30
24
For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.
field: 9030025
9
30
25
And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.
field: 9030026
9
30
26
And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;
field: 9030027
9
30
27
To them which were in Bethel, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir,
field: 9030028
9
30
28
And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa,
field: 9030029
9
30
29
And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites,
field: 9030030
9
30
30
And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chorashan, and to them which were in Athach,
field: 9030031
9
30
31
And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
field: 9031001
9
31
1
Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
field: 9031002
9
31
2
And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, Saul's sons.
field: 9031003
9
31
3
And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.
field: 9031004
9
31
4
Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
field: 9031005
9
31
5
And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
field: 9031006
9
31
6
So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.
field: 9031007
9
31
7
And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
field: 9031008
9
31
8
And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
field: 9031009
9
31
9
And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people.
field: 9031010
9
31
10
And they put his armor in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.
field: 9031011
9
31
11
And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;
field: 9031012
9
31
12
All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
field: 9031013
9
31
13
And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
field: 10001001
10

1
Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;
field: 10001002
10
1
2
It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
field: 10001003
10
1
3
And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
field: 10001004
10
1
4
And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
field: 10001005
10
1
5
And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?
field: 10001006
10
1
6
And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
field: 10001007
10
1
7
And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.
field: 10001008
10
1
8
And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
field: 10001009
10
1
9
He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me.
field: 10001010
10
1
10
So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.
field: 10001011

Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:
field: 10001012
10
1
12
And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
field: 10001013
10
1
13
And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
field: 10001014
10
1
14
And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?
field: 10001015
10
1
15
And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
field: 10001016
10
1
16
And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD's anointed.
field: 10001017
10
1
17
And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
field: 10001018
10
1
18
(Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
field: 10001019
10
1
19
The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
field: 10001020
10
1
20
Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
field: 10001021
10
1
21
Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.
field: 10001022
10
1
22
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
field: 10001023
10
1
23
Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
field: 10001024
10
1
24
Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
field: 10001025
10
1
25
How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places.
field: 10001026
10
1
26
I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
field: 10001027
10
1
27
How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
field: 10002001
10
2
1
And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
field: 10002002
10
2
2
So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite.
field: 10002003
10
2
3
And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
field: 10002004
10
2
4
And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabeshgilead were they that buried Saul.
field: 10002005
10
2
5
And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabeshgilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the LORD, that ye have showed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
field: 10002006
10
2
6
And now the LORD show kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.
field: 10002007
10
2
7
Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
field: 10002008
10
2
8
But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
field: 10002009
10
2
9
And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
field: 10002010
10
2
10
Ishbosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
field: 10002011
10
2
11
And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
field: 10002012
10
2
12
And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
field: 10002013
10
2
13
And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
field: 10002014
10
2
14
And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
field: 10002015
10
2
15
Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
field: 10002016
10
2
16
And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
field: 10002017
10
2
17
And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
field: 10002018
10
2
18
And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.
field: 10002019
10
2
19
And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
field: 10002020
10
2
20
Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, I am.
field: 10002021
10
2
21
And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armor. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him.
field: 10002022
10
2
22
And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?
field: 10002023
10
2
23
Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib, that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
field: 10002024
10
2
24
Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
field: 10002025
10
2
25
And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.
field: 10002026
10
2
26
Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?
field: 10002027
10
2
27
And Joab said, As God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
field: 10002028
10
2
28
So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
field: 10002029
10
2
29
And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
field: 10002030
10
2
30
And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David's servants nineteen men and Asahel.
field: 10002031
10
2
31
But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so that three hundred and threescore men died.
field: 10002032
10
2
32
And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
field: 10003001
10
3
1
Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.
field: 10003002
10
3
2
And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
field: 10003003
10
3
3
And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
field: 10003004
10
3
4
And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
field: 10003005
10
3
5
And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
field: 10003006
10
3
6
And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul.
field: 10003007
10
3
7
And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ishbosheth said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father's concubine?
field: 10003008
10
3
8
Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ishbosheth, and said, Am I a dog's head, which against Judah do show kindness this day unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou chargest me to day with a fault concerning this woman?
field: 10003009
10
3
9
So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the LORD hath sworn to David, even so I do to him;
field: 10003010
10
3
10
To translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba.
field: 10003011
10
3
11
And he could not answer Abner a word again, because he feared him.
field: 10003012
10
3
12
And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying also, Make thy league with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring about all Israel unto thee.
field: 10003013
10
3
13
And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face.
field: 10003014
10
3
14
And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth Saul's son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, which I espoused to me for an hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
field: 10003015
10
3
15
And Ishbosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Phaltiel the son of Laish.
field: 10003016
10
3
16
And her husband went with her along weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him, Go, return. And he returned.
field: 10003017
10
3
17
And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David in times past to be king over you:
field: 10003018
10
3
18
Now then do it: for the LORD hath spoken of David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.
field: 10003019
10
3
19
And Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin: and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin.
field: 10003020
10
3
20
So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men that were with him a feast.
field: 10003021
10
3
21
And Abner said unto David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a league with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thine heart desireth. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.
field: 10003022
10
3
22
And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from pursuing a troop, and brought in a great spoil with them: but Abner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he was gone in peace.
field: 10003023
10
3
23
When Joab and all the host that was with him were come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.
field: 10003024
10
3
24
Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came unto thee; why is it that thou hast sent him away, and he is quite gone?
field: 10003025
10
3
25
Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest.
field: 10003026
10
3
26
And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, which brought him again from the well of Sirah: but David knew it not.
field: 10003027
10
3
27
And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there under the fifth rib, that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
field: 10003028
10
3
28
And afterward when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner:
field: 10003029
10
3
29
Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread.
field: 10003030
10
3
30
So Joab, and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
field: 10003031
10
3
31
And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David himself followed the bier.
field: 10003032
10
3
32
And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
field: 10003033
10
3
33
And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a fool dieth?
field: 10003034
10
3
34
Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters: as a man falleth before wicked men, so fellest thou. And all the people wept again over him.
field: 10003035
10
3
35
And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat while it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be down.
field: 10003036
10
3
36
And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them: as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people.
field: 10003037
10
3
37
For all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.
field: 10003038
10
3
38
And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
field: 10003039
10
3
39
And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah be too hard for me: the LORD shall reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness.
field: 10004001
10
4
1
And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
field: 10004002
10
4
2
And Saul's son had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin.
field: 10004003
10
4
3
And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day.)
field: 10004004
10
4
4
And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
field: 10004005
10
4
5
And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, who lay on a bed at noon.
field: 10004006
10
4
6
And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
field: 10004007
10
4
7
For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and gat them away through the plain all night.
field: 10004008
10
4
8
And they brought the head of Ishbosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.
field: 10004009
10
4
9
And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
field: 10004010
10
4
10
When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who thought that I would have given him a reward for his tidings:
field: 10004011
10
4
11
How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?
field: 10004012
10
4
12
And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
field: 10005001
10
5
1
Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
field: 10005002
10
5
2
Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel.
field: 10005003
10
5
3
So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David king over Israel.
field: 10005004
10
5
4
David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
field: 10005005
10
5
5
In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.
field: 10005006
10
5
6
And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither.
field: 10005007
10
5
7
Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.
field: 10005008
10
5
8
And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.
field: 10005009
10
5
9
So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.
field: 10005010
10
5
10
And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him.
field: 10005011
10
5
11
And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house.
field: 10005012
10
5
12
And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.
field: 10005013
10
5
13
And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.
field: 10005014
10
5
14
And these be the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
field: 10005015
10
5
15
Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
field: 10005016
10
5
16
And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.
field: 10005017
10
5
17
But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.
field: 10005018
10
5
18
The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
field: 10005019
10
5
19
And David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.
field: 10005020
10
5
20
And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim.
field: 10005021
10
5
21
And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.
field: 10005022
10
5
22
And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
field: 10005023
10
5
23
And when David inquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
field: 10005024
10
5
24
And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.
field: 10005025
10
5
25
And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.
field: 10006001
10
6
1
Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
field: 10006002
10
6
2
And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubim.

And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.
field: 10006004
10

4
And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.
field: 10006005
10

5
And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.
field: 10006006
10

6
And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.
field: 10006007
10
6
7
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
field: 10006008
10
6
8
And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.
field: 10006009
10
6
9
And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?
field: 10006010
10
6
10
So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.
field: 10006011
10
6
11
And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household.
field: 10006012
10
6
12
And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.
field: 10006013
10
6
13
And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
field: 10006014
10
6
14
And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
field: 10006015
10
6
15
So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
field: 10006016
10
6
16
And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
field: 10006017
10
6
17
And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
field: 10006018
10
6
18
And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.
field: 10006019
10
6
19
And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.
field: 10006020
10
6
20
Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!
field: 10006021
10
6
21
And David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD.
field: 10006022
10
6
22
And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honor.
field: 10006023
10
6
23
Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
field: 10007001

1
And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies;
field: 10007002
10
7
2
That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
field: 10007003
10
7
3
And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee.
field: 10007004
10
7
4
And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying,
field: 10007005
10
7
5
Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
field: 10007006
10
7
6
Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
field: 10007007
10
7
7
In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?
field: 10007008
10
7
8
Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:
field: 10007009
10
7
9
And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth.
field: 10007010
10
7
10
Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,
field: 10007011
10
7
11
And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house.
field: 10007012
10
7
12
And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
field: 10007013
10
7
13
He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
field: 10007014
10
7
14
I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:
field: 10007015
10
7
15
But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
field: 10007016
10
7
16
And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
field: 10007017
10
7
17
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
field: 10007018
10
7
18
Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
field: 10007019
10
7
19
And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?
field: 10007020
10
7
20
And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord GOD, knowest thy servant.
field: 10007021
10
7
21
For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.
field: 10007022
10
7
22
Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
field: 10007023
10
7
23
And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
field: 10007024
10
7
24
For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God.
field: 10007025
10
7
25
And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.
field: 10007026
10
7
26
And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
field: 10007027
10
7
27
For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.
field: 10007028
10
7
28
And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
field: 10007029
10
7
29
Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.

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.
field: 10008002
10
8
2
And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.
field: 10008003
10

3
David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.
field: 10008004
10
8
4
And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots.
field: 10008005
10
8
5
And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succor Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
field: 10008006
10
8
6
Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
field: 10008007
10
8
7
And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
field: 10008008
10
8
8
And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.
field: 10008009
10

9
When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,
field: 10008010
10
8
10
Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:
field: 10008011
10

11
Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;
field: 10008012
10
8
12
Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
field: 10008013
10

13
And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men.
field: 10008014
10
8
14
And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
field: 10008015
10

15
And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people.

And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
field: 10008017

And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;
field: 10008018

18
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief rulers.
field: 10009001

And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?
field: 10009002
10
9
2
And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he.
field: 10009003
10
9
3
And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
field: 10009004
10
9
4
And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.
field: 10009005
10
9
5
Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.
field: 10009006
10

6
Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!
field: 10009007
10
9
7
And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely show thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
field: 10009008
10
9
8
And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?
field: 10009009
10
9
9
Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master's son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.
field: 10009010
10
9
10
Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master's son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
field: 10009011
10
9
11
Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons.
field: 10009012
10
9
12
And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.
field: 10009013
10
9
13
So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet.
field: 10010001

And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
field: 10010002
10
10
2
Then said David, I will show kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
field: 10010003
10
10
3
And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honor thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
field: 10010004
10
10
4
Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
field: 10010005
10
10
5
When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
field: 10010006
10
10
6
And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Bethrehob and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand men.
field: 10010007
10
10
7
And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
field: 10010008
10
10
8
And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
field: 10010009
10
10
9
When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
field: 10010010
10
10
10
And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of Ammon.
field: 10010011
10
10
11
And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.
field: 10010012
10
10
12
Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.
field: 10010013
10
10
13
And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
field: 10010014
10
10
14
And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
field: 10010015
10
10
15
And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
field: 10010016
10
10
16
And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
field: 10010017
10
10
17
And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
field: 10010018
10
10
18
And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.
field: 10010019
10
10
19
And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
field: 10011001
10
11
1
And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.
field: 10011002
10
11
2
And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
field: 10011003
10
11
3
And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
field: 10011004
10
11
4
And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.
field: 10011005
10
11
5
And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
field: 10011006
10
11
6
And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
field: 10011007
10
11
7
And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.
field: 10011008
10
11
8
And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king.
field: 10011009
10
11
9
But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
field: 10011010
10
11
10
And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house?
field: 10011011
10
11
11
And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.
field: 10011012
10
11
12
And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.
field: 10011013
10
11
13
And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.
field: 10011014
10
11
14
And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
field: 10011015
10
11
15
And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.
field: 10011016
10
11
16
And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were.
field: 10011017
10
11
17
And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
field: 10011018
10
11
18
Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
field: 10011019
10
11
19
And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,
field: 10011020
10
11
20
And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?
field: 10011021
10
11
21
Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
field: 10011022
10
11
22
So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for.
field: 10011023
10
11
23
And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate.
field: 10011024
10
11
24
And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and some of the king's servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.

25
Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him.

26
And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.
field: 10011027
10
11
27
And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
field: 10012001
10
12
1
And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.
field: 10012002
10
12
2
The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:
field: 10012003
10
12
3
But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.
field: 10012004
10
12
4
And there came a traveler unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
field: 10012005
10
12
5
And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die:
field: 10012006
10
12
6
And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
field: 10012007
10
12
7
And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
field: 10012008
10
12
8
And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.
field: 10012009
10
12
9
Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
field: 10012010
10
12
10
Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
field: 10012011
10
12
11
Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbor, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
field: 10012012
10
12
12
For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
field: 10012013
10
12
13
And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
field: 10012014
10
12
14
Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.
field: 10012015
10
12
15
And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.
field: 10012016
10
12
16
David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
field: 10012017
10
12
17
And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
field: 10012018
10
12
18
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?
field: 10012019
10
12
19
But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
field: 10012020
10
12
20
Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.
field: 10012021
10
12
21
Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.
field: 10012022
10
12
22
And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?
field: 10012023
10
12
23
But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
field: 10012024
10
12
24
And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him.
field: 10012025
10
12
25
And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD.
field: 10012026
10
12
26
And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
field: 10012027
10
12
27
And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.
field: 10012028
10
12
28
Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.
field: 10012029
10
12
29
And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
field: 10012030
10
12
30
And he took their king's crown from off his head, the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was set on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.
field: 10012031
10
12
31
And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.
field: 10013001
10
13
1
And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
field: 10013002
10
13
2
And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do anything to her.
field: 10013003
10
13
3
But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man.
field: 10013004
10
13
4
And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king's son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.
field: 10013005
10
13
5
And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.
field: 10013006
10
13
6
So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.
field: 10013007
10
13
7
Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him meat.
field: 10013008
10
13
8
So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes.
field: 10013009
10
13
9
And she took a pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him.
field: 10013010
10
13
10
And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
field: 10013011
10
13
11
And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister.
field: 10013012
10
13
12
And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly.
field: 10013013
10
13
13
And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.
field: 10013014
10
13
14
Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.
field: 10013015
10
13
15
Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.
field: 10013016
10
13
16
And she said unto him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her.
field: 10013017
10
13
17
Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.
field: 10013018
10
13
18
And she had a garment of divers colors 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.
field: 10013019
10
13
19
And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colors that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.
field: 10013020
10
13
20
And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.
field: 10013021
10
13
21
But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.
field: 10013022
10
13
22
And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
field: 10013023
10
13
23
And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
field: 10013024
10
13
24
And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant.
field: 10013025
10
13
25
And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he would not go, but blessed him.
field: 10013026
10
13
26
Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go with thee?
field: 10013027
10
13
27
But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
field: 10013028
10
13
28
Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.
field: 10013029
10
13
29
And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled.
field: 10013030
10
13
30
And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.
field: 10013031
10
13
31
Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.
field: 10013032
10
13
32
And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
field: 10013033
10
13
33
Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only is dead.
field: 10013034
10
13
34
But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill side behind him.
field: 10013035
10
13
35
And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is.
field: 10013036
10
13
36
And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very sore.
field: 10013037
10
13
37
But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.
field: 10013038
10
13
38
So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
field: 10013039
10
13
39
And the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
field: 10014001
10
14
1
Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was toward Absalom.
field: 10014002
10
14
2
And Joab sent to Tekoah, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on now mourning apparel, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead:
field: 10014003
10
14
3
And come to the king, and speak on this manner unto him. So Joab put the words in her mouth.
field: 10014004
10
14
4
And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king.
field: 10014005
10
14
5
And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and mine husband is dead.
field: 10014006
10
14
6
And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other, and slew him.
field: 10014007
10
14
7
And, behold, the whole family is risen against thine handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him, for the life of his brother whom he slew; and we will destroy the heir also: and so they shall quench my coal which is left, and shall not leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the earth.
field: 10014008
10
14
8
And the king said unto the woman, Go to thine house, and I will give charge concerning thee.
field: 10014009
10
14
9
And the woman of Tekoah said unto the king, My lord, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my father's house: and the king and his throne be guiltless.
field: 10014010
10
14
10
And the king said, Whoever saith ought unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more.
field: 10014011
10
14
11
Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the LORD thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.
field: 10014012
10
14
12
Then the woman said, Let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak one word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on.
field: 10014013
10
14
13
And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished.
field: 10014014
10
14
14
For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.
field: 10014015
10
14
15
Now therefore that I am come to speak of this thing unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid.
field: 10014016
10
14
16
For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.
field: 10014017
10
14
17
Then thine handmaid said, The word of my lord the king shall now be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: therefore the LORD thy God will be with thee.
field: 10014018
10
14
18
Then the king answered and said unto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak.
field: 10014019
10
14
19
And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid:
field: 10014020
10
14
20
To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.
field: 10014021
10
14
21
And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again.
field: 10014022
10
14
22
And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and Joab said, To day thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant.
field: 10014023
10
14
23
So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
field: 10014024
10
14
24
And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom returned to his own house, and saw not the king's face.
field: 10014025
10
14
25
But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
field: 10014026
10
14
26
And when he polled his head, (for it was at every year's end that he polled it: because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he polled it:) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king's weight.
field: 10014027
10
14
27
And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance.
field: 10014028
10
14
28
So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face.
field: 10014029
10
14
29
Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to have sent him to the king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come.
field: 10014030
10
14
30
Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the field on fire.
field: 10014031
10
14
31
Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?
field: 10014032
10
14
32
And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it had been good for me to have been there still: now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there be any iniquity in me, let him kill me.
field: 10014033
10
14
33
So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom.
field: 10015001
10
15
1
And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
field: 10015002
10
15
2
And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
field: 10015003
10
15
3
And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.
field: 10015004
10
15
4
Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!
field: 10015005
10
15
5
And it was so, that when any man came nigh to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.
field: 10015006
10
15
6
And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
field: 10015007
10
15
7
And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD, in Hebron.
field: 10015008
10
15
8
For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.
field: 10015009
10
15
9
And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.
field: 10015010
10
15
10
But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron.
field: 10015011
10
15
11
And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing.
field: 10015012
10
15
12
And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.
field: 10015013
10
15
13
And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.
field: 10015014
10

14
And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
field: 10015015
10
15
15
And the king's servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint.
field: 10015016
10
15
16
And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house.
field: 10015017
10
15
17
And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off.
field: 10015018
10
15
18
And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
field: 10015019
10
15
19
Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king: for thou art a stranger, and also an exile.
field: 10015020
10
15
20
Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go whither I may, return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and truth be with thee.
field: 10015021
10
15
21
And Ittai answered the king, and said, As the LORD liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be.
field: 10015022
10
15
22
And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
field: 10015023
10
15
23
And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.
field: 10015024
10
15
24
And lo Zadok also, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the city.
field: 10015025
10
15
25
And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favor in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation:
field: 10015026
10
15
26
But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him.
field: 10015027
10
15
27
The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art not thou a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
field: 10015028
10
15
28
See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me.
field: 10015029
10
15
29
Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they tarried there.
field: 10015030
10
15
30
And David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot: and all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
field: 10015031
10
15
31
And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
field: 10015032
10
15
32
And it came to pass, that when David was come to the top of the mount, where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head:
field: 10015033
10
15
33
Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me:
field: 10015034
10
15
34
But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.
field: 10015035
10
15
35
And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
field: 10015036
10
15
36
Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Zadok's son, and Jonathan Abiathar's son; and by them ye shall send unto me every thing that ye can hear.
field: 10015037
10
15
37
So Hushai David's friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
field: 10016001
10
16
1
And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
field: 10016002
10
16
2
And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.
field: 10016003
10
16
3
And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
field: 10016004
10
16
4
Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king.
field: 10016005
10
16
5
And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.
field: 10016006
10
16
6
And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
field: 10016007
10
16
7
And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial:
field: 10016008
10
16
8
The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.
field: 10016009
10
16
9
Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.
field: 10016010
10
16
10
And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
field: 10016011
10
16
11
And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him.
field: 10016012
10
16
12
It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.
field: 10016013
10
16
13
And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
field: 10016014
10
16
14
And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
field: 10016015
10
16
15
And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
field: 10016016
10
16
16
And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.
field: 10016017
10
16
17
And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?
field: 10016018
10
16
18
And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
field: 10016019
10
16
19
And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.
field: 10016020
10
16
20
Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.
field: 10016021
10
16
21
And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father's concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong.
field: 10016022
10
16
22
So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
field: 10016023
10
16
23
And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counseled in those days, was as if a man had inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
field: 10017001
10
17
1
Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:
field: 10017002
10
17
2
And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only:
field: 10017003
10
17
3
And I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: so all the people shall be in peace.
field: 10017004
10
17
4
And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
field: 10017005
10
17
5
Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.
field: 10017006
10
17
6
And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do after his saying? if not; speak thou.
field: 10017007
10
17
7
And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given is not good at this time.
field: 10017008
10
17
8
For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
field: 10017009
10
17
9
Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.
field: 10017010
10
17
10
And he also that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they which be with him are valiant men.
field: 10017011
10
17
11
Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered unto thee, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person.
field: 10017012
10
17
12
So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground: and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as one.
field: 10017013
10
17
13
Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found there.
field: 10017014
10
17
14
And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom.
field: 10017015
10
17
15
Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counseled.
field: 10017016
10
17
16
Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.
field: 10017017
10
17
17
Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by Enrogel; for they might not be seen to come into the city: and a wench went and told them; and they went and told king David.
field: 10017018
10
17
18
Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom: but they went both of them away quickly, and came to a man's house in Bahurim, which had a well in his court; whither they went down.
field: 10017019
10
17
19
And the woman took and spread a covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground corn thereon; and the thing was not known.
field: 10017020
10
17
20
And when Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They be gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
field: 10017021
10
17
21
And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David, and said unto David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water: for thus hath Ahithophel counseled against you.
field: 10017022
10
17
22
Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan.
field: 10017023
10
17
23
And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
field: 10017024
10
17
24
Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
field: 10017025
10
17
25
And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host instead of Joab: which Amasa was a man's son, whose name was Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab's mother.
field: 10017026
10
17
26
So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.
field: 10017027
10
17
27
And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
field: 10017028
10
17
28
Brought beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched corn, and beans, and lentils, and parched pulse,
field: 10017029
10
17
29
And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
field: 10018001
10
18
1
And David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds over them.
field: 10018002
10
18
2
And David sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also.
field: 10018003
10
18
3
But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou succor us out of the city.
field: 10018004
10
18
4
And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands.
field: 10018005
10
18
5
And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.
field: 10018006
10
18
6
So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim;
field: 10018007
10
18
7
Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men.
field: 10018008
10
18
8
For the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.
field: 10018009
10
18
9
And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away.
field: 10018010
10
18
10
And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak.
field: 10018011
10
18
11
And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten shekels of silver, and a girdle.
field: 10018012
10
18
12
And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand shekels of silver in mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom.
field: 10018013
10
18
13
Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me.
field: 10018014
10
18
14
Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak.
field: 10018015
10
18
15
And ten young men that bare Joab's armor compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him.
field: 10018016
10
18
16
And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab held back the people.
field: 10018017
10
18
17
And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled every one to his tent.
field: 10018018
10
18
18
Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's place.
field: 10018019
10
18
19
Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that the LORD hath avenged him of his enemies.
field: 10018020
10
18
20
And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead.
field: 10018021
10
18
21
Then said Joab to Cushy, Go tell the king what thou hast seen. And Cushy bowed himself unto Joab, and ran.
field: 10018022
10
18
22
Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushy. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready?
field: 10018023
10
18
23
But howsoever, said he, let me run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushy.
field: 10018024
10
18
24
And David sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone.
field: 10018025
10
18
25
And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he be alone, there is tidings in his mouth. And he came apace, and drew near.
field: 10018026
10
18
26
And the watchman saw another man running: and the watchman called unto the porter, and said, Behold another man running alone. And the king said, He also bringeth tidings.
field: 10018027
10
18
27
And the watchman said, Me thinketh the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and cometh with good tidings.
field: 10018028
10
18
28
And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed be the LORD thy God, which hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king.
field: 10018029
10
18
29
And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king's servant, and me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was.
field: 10018030
10
18
30
And the king said unto him, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still.
field: 10018031
10
18
31
And, behold, Cushy came; and Cushy said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the LORD hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.
field: 10018032
10
18
32
And the king said unto Cushy, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Cushy answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is.
field: 10018033
10
18
33
And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!
field: 10019001
10
19
1
And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.
field: 10019002
10
19
2
And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day how the king was grieved for his son.
field: 10019003
10
19
3
And the people gat them by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
field: 10019004
10
19
4
But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!
field: 10019005
10
19
5
And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, which this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines;
field: 10019006
10
19
6
In that thou lovest thine enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither princes nor servants: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well.
field: 10019007
10
19
7
Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably unto thy servants: for I swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that befell thee from thy youth until now.

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.
field: 10019009
10
19
9
And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king saved us out of the hand of our enemies, and he delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom.
field: 10019010
10
19
10
And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?
field: 10019011
10
19
11
And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, even to his house.
field: 10019012
10
19
12
Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and my flesh: wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king?
field: 10019013
10
19
13
And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.
field: 10019014
10
19
14
And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as the heart of one man; so that they sent this word unto the king, Return thou, and all thy servants.
field: 10019015
10
19
15
So the king returned, and came to Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over Jordan.
field: 10019016
10
19
16
And Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite, which was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David.
field: 10019017
10
19
17
And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went over Jordan before the king.
field: 10019018
10
19
18
And there went over a ferry boat to carry over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he was come over Jordan;
field: 10019019
10
19
19
And said unto the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity unto me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.
field: 10019020
10
19
20
For thy servant doth know that I have sinned: therefore, behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.
field: 10019021
10
19
21
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD's anointed?
field: 10019022
10
19
22
And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?
field: 10019023
10
19
23
Therefore the king said unto Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king sware unto him.
field: 10019024
10
19
24
And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came again in peace.
field: 10019025
10
19
25
And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?
field: 10019026
10
19
26
And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go to the king; because thy servant is lame.
field: 10019027
10
19
27
And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God: do therefore what is good in thine eyes.
field: 10019028
10
19
28
For all of my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king: yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any more unto the king?
field: 10019029
10
19
29
And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.
field: 10019030
10
19
30
And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come again in peace unto his own house.
field: 10019031
10
19
31
And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan.
field: 10019032
10
19
32
Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: and he had provided the king of sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.
field: 10019033
10
19
33
And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem.
field: 10019034
10
19
34
And Barzillai said unto the king, How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?
field: 10019035
10
19
35
I am this day fourscore years old: and can I discern between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?
field: 10019036
10
19
36
Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?
field: 10019037
10
19
37
Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, and be buried by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee.
field: 10019038
10
19
38
And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.
field: 10019039
10
19
39
And all the people went over Jordan. And when the king was come over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto his own place.
field: 10019040
10
19
40
Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him: and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel.
field: 10019041
10
19
41
And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and have brought the king, and his household, and all David's men with him, over Jordan?
field: 10019042
10
19
42
And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: wherefore then be ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all of the king's cost? or hath he given us any gift?
field: 10019043
10
19
43
And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more right in David than ye: why then did ye despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
field: 10020001
10
20
1
And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.
field: 10020002
10
20
2
So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
field: 10020003
10
20
3
And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood.
field: 10020004
10
20
4
Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.
field: 10020005
10
20
5
So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
field: 10020006
10
20
6
And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou thy lord's servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us.
field: 10020007
10
20
7
And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
field: 10020008
10
20
8
When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.
field: 10020009
10
20
9
And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.
field: 10020010
10
20
10
But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab's hand: so he smote him therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
field: 10020011
10
20
11
And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that favoreth Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab.
field: 10020012
10
20
12
And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.
field: 10020013
10
20
13
When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
field: 10020014
10
20
14
And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel, and to Bethmaachah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him.
field: 10020015
10
20
15
And they came and besieged him in Abel of Bethmaachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
field: 10020016
10
20
16
Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.
field: 10020017
10
20
17
And when he was come near unto her, the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he answered, I am he. Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.
field: 10020018
10
20
18
Then she spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter.
field: 10020019
10
20
19
I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?
field: 10020020
10
20
20
And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
field: 10020021
10
20
21
The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
field: 10020022
10
20
22
Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
field: 10020023
10
20
23
Now Joab was over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:
field: 10020024
10
20
24
And Adoram was over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:
field: 10020025
10
20
25
And Sheva was scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:
field: 10020026
10
20
26
And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.
field: 10021001
10
21
1
Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites.
field: 10021002
10
21
2
And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.)
field: 10021003
10
21
3
Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD?
field: 10021004
10
21
4
And the Gibeonites said unto him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you.
field: 10021005
10
21
5
And they answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the coasts of Israel,
field: 10021006
10
21
6
Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD did choose. And the king said, I will give them.
field: 10021007
10
21
7
But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
field: 10021008
10
21
8
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
field: 10021009
10
21
9
And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill before the LORD: and they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest.
field: 10021010
10
21
10
And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
field: 10021011
10
21
11
And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
field: 10021012
10
21
12
And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabeshgilead, which had stolen them from the street of Bethshan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa:
field: 10021013
10
21
13
And he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
field: 10021014
10
21
14
And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was intreated for the land.
field: 10021015
10
21
15
Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint.
field: 10021016
10
21
16
And Ishbibenob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.
field: 10021017
10
21
17
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succored him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the light of Israel.
field: 10021018
10
21
18
And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant.
field: 10021019
10
21
19
And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
field: 10021020
10
21
20
And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.
field: 10021021
10
21
21
And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah the brother of David slew him.
field: 10021022
10
21
22
These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
field: 10022001
10
22
1
And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
field: 10022002
10
22
2
And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
field: 10022003
10
22
3
The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
field: 10022004
10
22
4
I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
field: 10022005
10
22
5
When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
field: 10022006
10
22
6
The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;
field: 10022007
10
22
7
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
field: 10022008
10
22
8
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
field: 10022009
10
22
9
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
field: 10022010
10
22
10
He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
field: 10022011
10
22
11
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
field: 10022012
10
22
12
And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
field: 10022013
10
22
13
Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
field: 10022014
10
22
14
The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
field: 10022015
10
22
15
And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
field: 10022016
10
22
16
And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
field: 10022017
10
22
17
He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
field: 10022018
10
22
18
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
field: 10022019
10
22
19
They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
field: 10022020
10
22
20
He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
field: 10022021
10
22
21
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
field: 10022022
10
22
22
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
field: 10022023
10
22
23
For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
field: 10022024
10
22
24
I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.
field: 10022025
10
22
25
Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
field: 10022026
10
22
26
With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt show thyself upright.
field: 10022027
10
22
27
With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt show thyself unsavory.
field: 10022028
10
22
28
And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
field: 10022029
10
22
29
For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
field: 10022030
10
22
30
For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
field: 10022031
10
22
31
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
field: 10022032
10
22
32
For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
field: 10022033
10
22
33
God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
field: 10022034
10
22
34
He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places.
field: 10022035
10
22
35
He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
field: 10022036
10
22
36
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
field: 10022037
10
22
37
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
field: 10022038
10
22
38
I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
field: 10022039
10
22
39
And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
field: 10022040
10
22
40
For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
field: 10022041
10
22
41
Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
field: 10022042
10
22
42
They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
field: 10022043
10
22
43
Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
field: 10022044
10
22
44
Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
field: 10022045
10
22
45
Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.
field: 10022046
10
22
46
Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
field: 10022047
10
22
47
The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
field: 10022048
10
22
48
It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me.
field: 10022049
10
22
49
And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
field: 10022050
10
22
50
Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.

He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.

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,
field: 10023002
10
23
2
The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.
field: 10023003
10
23
3
The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.
field: 10023004
10
23
4
And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.
field: 10023005
10
23
5
Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow.
field: 10023006
10
23
6
But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:
field: 10023007
10
23
7
But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.
field: 10023008
10
23
8
These be the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite: he lift up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.
field: 10023009
10
23
9
And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away:
field: 10023010
10
23
10
He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.
field: 10023011
10
23
11
And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentils: and the people fled from the Philistines.
field: 10023012
10
23
12
But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory.
field: 10023013
10
23
13
And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
field: 10023014
10
23
14
And David was then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
field: 10023015
10
23
15
And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!
field: 10023016
10
23
16
And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD.
field: 10023017
10
23
17
And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.
field: 10023018
10
23
18
And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, and slew them, and had the name among three.
field: 10023019
10
23
19
Was he not most honorable of three? therefore he was their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the first three.
field: 10023020
10
23
20
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lionlike men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow:
field: 10023021
10
23
21
And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
field: 10023022
10
23
22
These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among three mighty men.
field: 10023023
10
23
23
He was more honorable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three. And David set him over his guard.
field: 10023024
10

And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.
field: 10024002
10
24
2
For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, which was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.
field: 10024003
10
24
3
And Joab said unto the king, Now the LORD thy God add unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?
field: 10024004
10
24
4
Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
field: 10024005
10
24
5
And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that lieth in the midst of the river of Gad, and toward Jazer:
field: 10024006
10
24
6
Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtimhodshi; and they came to Danjaan, and about to Zidon,
field: 10024007
10
24
7
And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites: and they went out to the south of Judah, even to Beersheba.
field: 10024008
10
24
8
So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
field: 10024009
10
24
9
And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
field: 10024010
10
24
10
And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
field: 10024011
10
24
11
For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
field: 10024012
10
24
12
Go and say unto David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
field: 10024013
10
24
13
So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
field: 10024014
10
24
14
And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.
field: 10024015
10
24
15
So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men.
field: 10024016
10
24
16
And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.
field: 10024017
10
24
17
And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.
field: 10024018
10
24
18
And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite.
field: 10024019
10
24
19
And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.
field: 10024020
10
24
20
And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the ground.
field: 10024021
10
24
21
And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
field: 10024022
10
24
22
And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him: behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood.
field: 10024023
10
24
23
All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee.
field: 10024024
10
24
24
And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
field: 10024025
10
24
25
And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
field: 11001001

Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.
field: 11001002
11
1
2
Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.
field: 11001003
11

3
So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
field: 11001004
11
1
4
And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not.
field: 11001005
11

5
Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
field: 11001006
11
1
6
And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was a very goodly man; and his mother bare him after Absalom.
field: 11001007
11
1
7
And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him.
field: 11001008
11
1
8
But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men which belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.
field: 11001009
11
1
9
And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by Enrogel, and called all his brethren the king's sons, and all the men of Judah the king's servants:
field: 11001010
11
1
10
But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.
field: 11001011
11
1
11
Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?
field: 11001012
11
1
12
Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.
field: 11001013
11
1
13
Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?
field: 11001014
11
1
14
Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.
field: 11001015
11
1
15
And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king.
field: 11001016
11
1
16
And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?
field: 11001017
11
1
17
And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the LORD thy God unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.
field: 11001018
11
1
18
And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not:
field: 11001019
11
1
19
And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not called.
field: 11001020
11
1
20
And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
field: 11001021
11
1
21
Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.
field: 11001022
11
1
22
And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.
field: 11001023
11
1
23
And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
field: 11001024
11
1
24
And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?
field: 11001025
11
1
25
For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king's sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.
field: 11001026
11
1
26
But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called.
field: 11001027
11
1
27
Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not showed it unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?
field: 11001028
11
1
28
Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.
field: 11001029
11
1
29
And the king sware, and said, As the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,
field: 11001030
11
1
30
Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.
field: 11001031
11
1
31
Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.
field: 11001032
11
1
32
And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.
field: 11001033
11
1
33
The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:
field: 11001034
11
1
34
And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon.
field: 11001035
11
1
35
Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.
field: 11001036
11
1
36
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too.
field: 11001037
11
1
37
As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.
field: 11001038
11
1
38
So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.
field: 11001039
11
1
39
And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon.
field: 11001040
11
1
40
And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them.
field: 11001041
11
1
41
And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of the city being in an uproar?
field: 11001042
11
1
42
And while he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said unto him, Come in; for thou art a valiant man, and bringest good tidings.
field: 11001043
11
1
43
And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king.
field: 11001044
11
1
44
And the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon the king's mule:
field: 11001045
11
1
45
And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard.
field: 11001046
11
1
46
And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.
field: 11001047
11
1
47
And moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king bowed himself upon the bed.
field: 11001048
11
1
48
And also thus said the king, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it.
field: 11001049
11
1
49
And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.
field: 11001050
11
1
50
And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
field: 11001051
11
1
51
And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon: for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me today that he will not slay his servant with the sword.
field: 11001052
11
1
52
And Solomon said, If he will show 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.

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.

Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,
field: 11002002
11
2
2
I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man;
field: 11002003
11
2
3
And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:
field: 11002004
11
2
4
That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.
field: 11002005
11
2
5
Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
field: 11002006
11
2
6
Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace.
field: 11002007
11
2
7
But show kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother.
field: 11002008
11
2
8
And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.
field: 11002009
11
2
9
Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood.
field: 11002010
11
2
10
So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
field: 11002011
11
2
11
And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.
field: 11002012
11
2
12
Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.
field: 11002013
11
2
13
And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.
field: 11002014
11
2
14
He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.
field: 11002015
11
2
15
And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from the LORD.
field: 11002016
11
2
16
And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.
field: 11002017
11
2
17
And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.
field: 11002018
11
2
18
And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.
field: 11002019
11
2
19
Bathsheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.
field: 11002020
11
2
20
Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.
field: 11002021
11
2
21
And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.
field: 11002022
11
2
22
And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.
field: 11002023
11
2
23
Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.
field: 11002024
11
2
24
Now therefore, as the LORD liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
field: 11002025
11
2
25
And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.
field: 11002026
11
2
26
And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the LORD God before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
field: 11002027
11
2
27
So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the LORD; that he might fulfil the word of the LORD, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
field: 11002028
11
2
28
Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
field: 11002029
11
2
29
And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.
field: 11002030
11
2
30
And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.
field: 11002031
11
2
31
And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.
field: 11002032
11
2
32
And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
field: 11002033
11
2
33
Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.
field: 11002034
11
2
34
So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
field: 11002035
11
2
35
And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.
field: 11002036
11
2
36
And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.
field: 11002037
11
2
37
For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.
field: 11002038
11
2
38
And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
field: 11002039
11
2
39
And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants be in Gath.
field: 11002040
11
2
40
And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.
field: 11002041
11
2
41
And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.
field: 11002042
11
2
42
And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The word that I have heard is good.
field: 11002043
11
2
43
Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?
field: 11002044
11
2
44
The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head;
field: 11002045
11
2
45
And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.
field: 11002046
11
2
46
So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
field: 11003001
11

1
And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.
field: 11003002
11
3
2
Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of the LORD, until those days.
field: 11003003
11
3
3
And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.
field: 11003004
11
3
4
And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.
field: 11003005
11
3
5
In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
field: 11003006
11
3
6
And Solomon said, Thou hast showed 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.
field: 11003007
11
3
7
And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.
field: 11003008
11
3
8
And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
field: 11003009
11
3
9
Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?
field: 11003010
11
3
10
And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing.
field: 11003011
11
3
11
And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;
field: 11003012
11
3
12
Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.
field: 11003013
11
3
13
And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honor: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.
field: 11003014
11
3
14
And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.
field: 11003015
11
3
15
And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.
field: 11003016
11
3
16
Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.
field: 11003017
11
3
17
And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.
field: 11003018
11
3
18
And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.
field: 11003019
11
3
19
And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it.
field: 11003020
11
3
20
And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
field: 11003021
11
3
21
And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear.
field: 11003022
11
3
22
And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king.
field: 11003023
11
3
23
Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.
field: 11003024
11
3
24
And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.
field: 11003025
11
3
25
And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
field: 11003026
11
3
26
Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.
field: 11003027
11
3
27
Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.
field: 11003028
11

28
And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment.
field: 11004001
11

1
So king Solomon was king over all Israel.
field: 11004002
11
4
2
And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest,
field: 11004003
11
4
3
Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder.
field: 11004004
11
4
4
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:
field: 11004005
11
4
5
And Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers: and Zabud the son of Nathan was principal officer, and the king's friend:
field: 11004006
11
4
6
And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the tribute.
field: 11004007
11
4
7
And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, which provided victuals for the king and his household: each man his month in a year made provision.
field: 11004008
11
4
8
And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim:
field: 11004009
11
4
9
The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Bethshemesh, and Elonbethhanan:
field: 11004010
11
4
10
The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him pertained Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher:
field: 11004011
11
4
11
The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife:
field: 11004012
11
4
12
Baana the son of Ahilud; to him pertained Taanach and Megiddo, and all Bethshean, which is by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from Bethshean to Abelmeholah, even unto the place that is beyond Jokneam:
field: 11004013
11
4
13
The son of Geber, in Ramothgilead; to him pertained the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; to him also pertained the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, threescore great cities with walls and brazen bars:
field: 11004014
11
4
14
Ahinadab the son of Iddo had Mahanaim:
field: 11004015
11

15
Ahimaaz was in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon to wife:
field: 11004016
11
4
16
Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth:
field: 11004017
11

17
Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar:
field: 11004018
11
4
18
Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin:
field: 11004019
11
4
19
Geber the son of Uri was in the country of Gilead, in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the only officer which was in the land.
field: 11004020
11
4
20
Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.
field: 11004021
11
4
21
And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.
field: 11004022
11
4
22
And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,
field: 11004023
11
4
23
Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer, and fatted fowl.
field: 11004024
11
4
24
For he had dominion over all the region on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him.
field: 11004025
11
4
25
And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.
field: 11004026
11
4
26
And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
field: 11004027
11
4
27
And those officers provided victual for king Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they lacked nothing.
field: 11004028
11
4
28
Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries brought they unto the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge.
field: 11004029
11
4
29
And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.
field: 11004030
11
4
30
And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
field: 11004031
11
4
31
For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about.
field: 11004032
11
4
32
And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five.
field: 11004033
11
4
33
And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
field: 11004034
11

34
And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.
field: 11005001
11
5
1
And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
field: 11005002
11
5
2
And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
field: 11005003
11
5
3
Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.
field: 11005004
11
5
4
But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent.
field: 11005005
11
5
5
And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name.
field: 11005006
11
5
6
Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians.
field: 11005007
11
5
7
And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people.
field: 11005008
11
5
8
And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: and I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
field: 11005009
11
5
9
My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.
field: 11005010
11
5
10
So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire.
field: 11005011
11
5
11
And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
field: 11005012
11
5
12
And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
field: 11005013
11
5
13
And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
field: 11005014
11
5
14
And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the levy.
field: 11005015
11
5
15
And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;
field: 11005016
11
5
16
Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
field: 11005017
11
5
17
And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
field: 11005018
11
5
18
And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew them, and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.

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.
field: 11006002
11
6
2
And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits.
field: 11006003
11
6
3
And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.
field: 11006004
11
6
4
And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
field: 11006005
11
6
5
And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:
field: 11006006
11
6
6
The nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
field: 11006007
11
6
7
And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
field: 11006008
11
6
8
The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
field: 11006009
11
6
9
So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.
field: 11006010
11
6
10
And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
field: 11006011
11
6
11
And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,
field: 11006012
11
6
12
Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:
field: 11006013
11
6
13
And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
field: 11006014
11
6
14
So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
field: 11006015
11
6
15
And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the ceiling: and he covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
field: 11006016
11
6
16
And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it within, even for the oracle, even for the most holy place.
field: 11006017
11
6
17
And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.
field: 11006018
11
6
18
And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
field: 11006019
11
6
19
And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
field: 11006020
11
6
20
And the oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was of cedar.
field: 11006021
11
6
21
So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.
field: 11006022
11
6
22
And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold.
field: 11006023
11
6
23
And within the oracle he made two cherubim of olive tree, each ten cubits high.
field: 11006024
11
6
24
And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
field: 11006025
11
6
25
And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one size.
field: 11006026
11
6
26
The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
field: 11006027
11
6
27
And he set the cherubim within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubim, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
field: 11006028
11
6
28
And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
field: 11006029
11
6
29
And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.
field: 11006030
11
6
30
And the floors of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
field: 11006031
11
6
31
And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.
field: 11006032
11
6
32
The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubim, and upon the palm trees.
field: 11006033
11
6
33
So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.
field: 11006034
11
6
34
And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
field: 11006035
11
6
35
And he carved thereon cherubim and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.
field: 11006036
11
6
36
And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.
field: 11006037
11
6
37
In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:
field: 11006038
11
6
38
And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
field: 11007001
11
7
1
But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
field: 11007002
11
7
2
He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
field: 11007003
11
7
3
And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row.
field: 11007004
11
7
4
And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks.
field: 11007005
11
7
5
And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks.
field: 11007006
11
7
6
And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them.
field: 11007007
11
7
7
Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.
field: 11007008
11
7
8
And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch.
field: 11007009
11
7
9
All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court.
field: 11007010
11
7
10
And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
field: 11007011
11
7
11
And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars.
field: 11007012
11
7
12
And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house.
field: 11007013
11
7
13
And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
field: 11007014
11
7
14
He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.
field: 11007015
11
7
15
For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about.
field: 11007016
11
7
16
And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits:
field: 11007017
11
7
17
And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.
field: 11007018
11
7
18
And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and so did he for the other chapiter.
field: 11007019
11
7
19
And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits.
field: 11007020
11
7
20
And the chapiters upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, over against the belly which was by the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round about upon the other chapiter.
field: 11007021
11
7
21
And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.
field: 11007022
11
7
22
And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
field: 11007023
11
7
23
And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
field: 11007024
11
7
24
And under the brim of it round about there were knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops were cast in two rows, when it was cast.
field: 11007025
11
7
25
It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
field: 11007026
11
7
26
And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths.
field: 11007027
11
7
27
And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.
field: 11007028
11
7
28
And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges:
field: 11007029
11
7
29
And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim: and upon the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work.
field: 11007030
11
7
30
And every base had four brazen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.
field: 11007031
11
7
31
And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above was a cubit: but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round.
field: 11007032
11
7
32
And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
field: 11007033
11
7
33
And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, were all molten.
field: 11007034
11
7
34
And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself.
field: 11007035
11
7
35
And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same.
field: 11007036
11
7
36
For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions round about.
field: 11007037
11
7
37
After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size.
field: 11007038
11
7
38
Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: and every laver was four cubits: and upon every one of the ten bases one laver.
field: 11007039
11
7
39
And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward over against the south.
field: 11007040
11
7
40
And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the LORD:
field: 11007041
11
7
41
The two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars;
field: 11007042
11
7
42
And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the pillars;
field: 11007043
11
7
43
And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases;
field: 11007044
11
7
44
And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;
field: 11007045
11
7
45
And the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD, were of bright brass.
field: 11007046
11
7
46
In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan.
field: 11007047
11
7
47
And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out.
field: 11007048
11
7
48
And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the shewbread was,
field: 11007049
11
7
49
And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold,
field: 11007050
11
7
50
And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple.
field: 11007051
11
7
51
So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the LORD. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the LORD.
field: 11008001
11
8
1
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
field: 11008002
11
8
2
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
field: 11008003
11
8
3
And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
field: 11008004
11
8
4
And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.
field: 11008005
11
8
5
And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
field: 11008006
11
8
6
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
field: 11008007
11
8
7
For the cherubim spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
field: 11008008
11
8
8
And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day.
field: 11008009
11
8
9
There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
field: 11008010
11
8
10
And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
field: 11008011
11
8
11
So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.
field: 11008012
11
8
12
Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
field: 11008013
11
8
13
I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.
field: 11008014
11
8
14
And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood;)
field: 11008015
11
8
15
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
field: 11008016
11
8
16
Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
field: 11008017
11
8
17
And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
field: 11008018
11
8
18
And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.
field: 11008019
11
8
19
Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.
field: 11008020
11
8
20
And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
field: 11008021
11
8
21
And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
field: 11008022
11
8
22
And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:
field: 11008023
11
8
23
And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:
field: 11008024
11
8
24
Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him: thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.
field: 11008025
11
8
25
Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.
field: 11008026
11
8
26
And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.
field: 11008027
11
8
27
But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?
field: 11008028
11
8
28
Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee to day:
field: 11008029
11
8
29
That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place.
field: 11008030
11
8
30
And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.
field: 11008031
11
8
31
If any man trespass against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house:
field: 11008032
11
8
32
Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
field: 11008033
11
8
33
When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house:
field: 11008034
11
8
34
Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.
field: 11008035
11
8
35
When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them:
field: 11008036
11
8
36
Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.
field: 11008037
11
8
37
If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be;
field: 11008038
11
8
38
What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
field: 11008039
11
8
39
Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)
field: 11008040
11
8
40
That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake;
field: 11008042
11
8
42
(For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house;
field: 11008043
11
8
43
Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.
field: 11008044
11
8
44
If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name:
field: 11008045
11
8
45
Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
field: 11008046
11
8
46
If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;
field: 11008047
11
8
47
Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;
field: 11008048
11
8
48
And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:
field: 11008049
11
8
49
Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
field: 11008050
11
8
50
And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:
field: 11008051
11
8
51
For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:
field: 11008052
11
8
52
That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.
field: 11008053
11
8
53
For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O LORD God.
field: 11008054
11
8
54
And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.
field: 11008055
11
8
55
And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
field: 11008056
11
8
56
Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.
field: 11008057
11
8
57
The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:
field: 11008058
11
8
58
That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.
field: 11008059
11
8
59
And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:
field: 11008060
11
8
60
That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else.
field: 11008061
11
8
61
Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
field: 11008062
11
8
62
And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.
field: 11008063
11
8
63
And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered unto the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.
field: 11008064
11
8
64
The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.
field: 11008065
11
8
65
And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
field: 11008066
11
8
66
On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
field: 11009001
11
9
1
And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,
field: 11009002
11
9
2
That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon.
field: 11009003
11
9
3
And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
field: 11009004
11
9
4
And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:
field: 11009005
11
9
5
Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.
field: 11009006
11
9
6
But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:
field: 11009007
11
9
7
Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:
field: 11009008
11
9
8
And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to this house?
field: 11009009
11
9
9
And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil.
field: 11009010
11
9
10
And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king's house,
field: 11009011
11
9
11
(Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
field: 11009012
11
9
12
And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not.
field: 11009013
11
9
13
And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day.
field: 11009014
11
9
14
And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.
field: 11009015
11
9
15
And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
field: 11009016
11
9
16
For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife.
field: 11009017
11
9
17
And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the nether,
field: 11009018
11
9
18
And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,
field: 11009019
11
9
19
And all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
field: 11009020
11
9
20
And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel,
field: 11009021
11
9
21
Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon levy a tribute of bondservice unto this day.
field: 11009022
11
9
22
But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen: but they were men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen.
field: 11009023
11
9
23
These were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.
field: 11009024
11
9
24
But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Millo.
field: 11009025
11
9
25
And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto the LORD, and he burnt incense upon the altar that was before the LORD. So he finished the house.
field: 11009026
11
9
26
And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.
field: 11009027
11
9
27
And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
field: 11009028
11
9
28
And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
field: 11010001
11
10
1
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.
field: 11010002
11
10
2
And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
field: 11010003
11
10
3
And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not.
field: 11010004
11
10
4
And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,
field: 11010005
11
10
5
And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
field: 11010006
11
10
6
And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
field: 11010007
11
10
7
Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.
field: 11010008
11
10
8
Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.
field: 11010009
11
10
9
Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice.
field: 11010010
11
10
10
And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
field: 11010011
11
10
11
And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones.
field: 11010012
11
10
12
And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day.
field: 11010013
11
10
13
And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.
field: 11010014
11
10
14
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,
field: 11010015
11
10
15
Beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the traffic of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.
field: 11010016
11
10
16
And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one target.
field: 11010017
11
10
17
And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pound of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
field: 11010018
11
10
18
Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.
field: 11010019
11
10
19
The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.
field: 11010020
11
10
20
And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.
field: 11010021
11
10
21
And all king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
field: 11010022
11
10
22
For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
field: 11010023
11
10
23
So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.
field: 11010024
11
10
24
And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
field: 11010025
11
10
25
And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
field: 11010026
11
10
26
And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem.
field: 11010027
11
10
27
And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the vale, for abundance.
field: 11010028
11
10
28
And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
field: 11010029
11
10
29
And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.
field: 11011001
11
11
1
But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:
field: 11011002
11
11
2
Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.
field: 11011003
11
11
3
And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.
field: 11011004
11
11
4
For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.
field: 11011005
11
11
5
For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
field: 11011006
11
11
6
And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.
field: 11011007
11
11
7
Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.
field: 11011008
11
11
8
And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
field: 11011009
11
11
9
And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,
field: 11011010
11
11
10
And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.
field: 11011011
11
11
11
Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.
field: 11011012
11
11
12
Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.
field: 11011013
11
11
13
Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.
field: 11011014
11
11
14
And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom.
field: 11011015
11
11
15
For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom;
field: 11011016
11
11
16
(For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom:)
field: 11011017
11
11
17
That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child.
field: 11011018
11
11
18
And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran: and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt; which gave him an house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.
field: 11011019
11
11
19
And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
field: 11011020
11
11
20
And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household among the sons of Pharaoh.
field: 11011021
11
11
21
And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country.
field: 11011022
11
11
22
Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country? And he answered, Nothing: howbeit let me go in any wise.
field: 11011023
11
11
23
And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:
field: 11011024
11
11
24
And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.
field: 11011025
11
11
25
And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.
field: 11011026
11
11
26
And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even he lifted up his hand against the king.
field: 11011027
11
11
27
And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of David his father.
field: 11011028
11
11
28
And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor: and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph.
field: 11011029
11
11
29
And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field:
field: 11011030
11
11
30
And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces:
field: 11011031
11
11
31
And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee:
field: 11011032
11
11
32
(But he shall have one tribe for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:)
field: 11011033
11
11
33
Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father.
field: 11011034
11
11
34
Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes:
field: 11011035
11
11
35
But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes.
field: 11011036
11
11
36
And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.
field: 11011037
11
11
37
And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.
field: 11011038
11
11
38
And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.
field: 11011039
11
11
39
And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.
field: 11011040
11
11
40
Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
field: 11011041
11
11
41
And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?
field: 11011042
11

And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
field: 11011043
11
11
43
And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
field: 11012001
11
12
1
And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.
field: 11012002
11
12
2
And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;)
field: 11012003
11
12
3
That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,
field: 11012004
11
12
4
Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.
field: 11012005
11
12
5
And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.
field: 11012006
11
12
6
And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?
field: 11012007
11
12
7
And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.
field: 11012008
11
12
8
But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:
field: 11012009
11
12
9
And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter?
field: 11012010
11
12
10
And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.
field: 11012011
11
12
11
And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
field: 11012012
11
12
12
So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.
field: 11012013
11
12
13
And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;
field: 11012014
11
12
14
And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
field: 11012015
11
12
15
Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
field: 11012016
11
12
16
So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.
field: 11012017
11
12
17
But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
field: 11012018
11
12
18
Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
field: 11012019
11
12
19
So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
field: 11012020
11
12
20
And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
field: 11012021
11
12
21
And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
field: 11012022
11
12
22
But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
field: 11012023
11
12
23
Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
field: 11012024
11
12
24
Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD.
field: 11012025
11
12
25
Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.
field: 11012026
11
12
26
And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:
field: 11012027
11
12
27
If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.
field: 11012028
11
12
28
Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
field: 11012029
11
12
29
And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.
field: 11012030
11
12
30
And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.
field: 11012031
11
12
31
And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.
field: 11012032
11
12
32
And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.
field: 11012033
11
12
33
So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.
field: 11013001
11
13
1
And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.
field: 11013002
11
13
2
And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.
field: 11013003
11
13
3
And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.
field: 11013004
11
13
4
And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him.
field: 11013005
11
13
5
The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.
field: 11013006
11
13
6
And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Entreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.
field: 11013007
11
13
7
And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.
field: 11013008
11
13
8
And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:
field: 11013009
11
13
9
For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.
field: 11013010
11
13
10
So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.
field: 11013011
11
13
11
Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.
field: 11013012
11
13
12
And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah.
field: 11013013
11
13
13
And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,
field: 11013014
11
13
14
And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.
field: 11013015
11
13
15
Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
field: 11013016
11
13
16
And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:
field: 11013017
11
13
17
For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.
field: 11013018
11
13
18
He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.
field: 11013019
11
13
19
So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
field: 11013020
11
13
20
And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back:
field: 11013021
11
13
21
And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,
field: 11013022
11
13
22
But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the Lord did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcass shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.
field: 11013023
11
13
23
And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
field: 11013024
11
13
24
And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcass was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcass.
field: 11013025
11
13
25
And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcass cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcass: and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
field: 11013026
11
13
26
And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him.
field: 11013027
11
13
27
And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him.
field: 11013028
11
13
28
And he went and found his carcass cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcass: the lion had not eaten the carcass, nor torn the ass.
field: 11013029
11
13
29
And the prophet took up the carcass of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.
field: 11013030
11
13
30
And he laid his carcass in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!
field: 11013031
11
13
31
And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:
field: 11013032
11
13
32
For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
field: 11013033
11
13
33
After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.
field: 11013034
11
13
34
And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.
field: 11014001
11
14
1
At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
field: 11014002
11
14
2
And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which told me that I should be king over this people.
field: 11014003
11
14
3
And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child.
field: 11014004
11
14
4
And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.
field: 11014005
11
14
5
And the LORD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself to be another woman.
field: 11014006
11
14
6
And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings.
field: 11014007
11
14
7
Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,
field: 11014008
11
14
8
And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine eyes;
field: 11014009
11
14
9
But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:
field: 11014010
11
14
10
Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.
field: 11014011
11
14
11
Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken it.
field: 11014012
11
14
12
Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
field: 11014013
11
14
13
And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.
field: 11014014
11
14
14
Moreover the LORD shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now.
field: 11014015
11
14
15
For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their groves, provoking the LORD to anger.
field: 11014016
11
14
16
And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.
field: 11014017
11
14
17
And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: and when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died;
field: 11014018
11
14
18
And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet.
field: 11014019
11
14
19
And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
field: 11014020
11
14
20
And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.
field: 11014021
11
14
21
And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
field: 11014022
11
14
22
And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done.
field: 11014023
11
14
23
For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.
field: 11014024
11
14
24
And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
field: 11014025
11
14
25
And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:
field: 11014026
11
14
26
And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
field: 11014027
11
14
27
And king Rehoboam made in their stead brazen shields, and committed them unto the hands of the chief of the guard, which kept the door of the king's house.
field: 11014028
11
14
28
And it was so, when the king went into the house of the LORD, that the guard bare them, and brought them back into the guard chamber.
field: 11014029
11
14
29
Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
field: 11014030
11
14
30
And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
field: 11014031
11
14
31
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.
field: 11015001
11
15
1
Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.
field: 11015002
11
15
2
Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. and his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
field: 11015003
11
15
3
And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.
field: 11015004
11
15
4
Nevertheless for David's sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:
field: 11015005
11
15
5
Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
field: 11015006
11
15
6
And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
field: 11015007
11
15
7
Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
field: 11015008
11
15
8
And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
field: 11015009
11
15
9
And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.
field: 11015010
11
15
10
And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
field: 11015011
11
15
11
And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.
field: 11015012
11
15
12
And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
field: 11015013
11
15
13
And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.
field: 11015014
11
15
14
But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.
field: 11015015
11
15
15
And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels.
field: 11015016
11
15
16
And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
field: 11015017
11
15
17
And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
field: 11015018
11
15
18
Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
field: 11015019
11
15
19
There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
field: 11015020
11
15
20
So Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelbethmaachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
field: 11015021
11
15
21
And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
field: 11015022
11

22
Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

15
23
The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
field: 11015024
11
15
24
And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.
field: 11015025
11
15
25
And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.
field: 11015026
11
15
26
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
field: 11015027
11
15
27
And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.
field: 11015028
11
15
28
Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.
field: 11015029
11
15
29
And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:
field: 11015030
11
15
30
Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger.
field: 11015031
11
15
31
Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
field: 11015032
11
15
32
And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
field: 11015033
11
15
33
In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.
field: 11015034
11
15
34
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
field: 11016001
11
16
1
Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
field: 11016002
11
16
2
Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;
field: 11016003
11
16
3
Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house; and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
field: 11016004
11
16
4
Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat.
field: 11016005
11
16
5
Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
field: 11016006
11
16
6
So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead.
field: 11016007
11
16
7
And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he killed him.
field: 11016008
11
16
8
In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.
field: 11016009
11
16
9
And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah.
field: 11016010
11
16
10
And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.
field: 11016011
11
16
11
And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolk, nor of his friends.
field: 11016012
11
16
12
Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet.
field: 11016013
11
16
13
For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
field: 11016014
11
16
14
Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
field: 11016015
11
16
15
In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
field: 11016016
11
16
16
And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.
field: 11016017
11
16
17
And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
field: 11016018
11
16
18
And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died.
field: 11016019
11
16
19
For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.
field: 11016020
11
16
20
Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
field: 11016021
11
16
21
Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.
field: 11016022
11
16
22
But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
field: 11016023
11
16
23
In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.
field: 11016024
11
16
24
And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria.
field: 11016025
11
16
25
But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all that were before him.
field: 11016026
11
16
26
For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
field: 11016027
11
16
27
Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
field: 11016028
11
16
28
So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.
field: 11016029
11
16
29
And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.
field: 11016030
11
16
30
And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.
field: 11016031
11
16
31
And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.
field: 11016032
11
16
32
And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
field: 11016033
11
16
33
And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.
field: 11016034
11
16
34
In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.
field: 11017001
11
17
1
And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
field: 11017002
11
17
2
And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
field: 11017003
11
17
3
Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
field: 11017004
11
17
4
And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
field: 11017005
11
17
5
So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
field: 11017006
11
17
6
And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
field: 11017007
11
17
7
And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
field: 11017008
11
17
8
And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
field: 11017009
11
17
9
Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
field: 11017010
11
17
10
So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
field: 11017011
11
17
11
And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
field: 11017012
11
17
12
And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
field: 11017013
11
17
13
And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
field: 11017014
11
17
14
For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.
field: 11017015
11
17
15
And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
field: 11017016
11
17
16
And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.
field: 11017017
11
17
17
And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.
field: 11017018
11
17
18
And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?
field: 11017019
11
17
19
And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.
field: 11017020
11
17
20
And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
field: 11017021
11
17
21
And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.
field: 11017022
11
17
22
And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
field: 11017023
11
17
23
And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.
field: 11017024
11
17
24
And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is truth.
field: 11018001
11
18
1
And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, show thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.
field: 11018002
11
18
2
And Elijah went to show himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria.
field: 11018003
11
18
3
And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:
field: 11018004
11
18
4
For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
field: 11018005
11
18
5
And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.
field: 11018006
11
18
6
So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
field: 11018007
11
18
7
And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah?
field: 11018008
11
18
8
And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
field: 11018009
11
18
9
And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
field: 11018010
11
18
10
As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.
field: 11018011
11
18
11
And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
field: 11018012
11
18
12
And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth.
field: 11018013
11
18
13
Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
field: 11018014
11
18
14
And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me.
field: 11018015
11
18
15
And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself unto him to day.
field: 11018016
11
18
16
So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
field: 11018017
11
18
17
And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
field: 11018018
11
18
18
And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.
field: 11018019
11
18
19
Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.
field: 11018020
11
18
20
So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
field: 11018021
11
18
21
And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
field: 11018022
11
18
22
Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
field: 11018023
11
18
23
Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:
field: 11018024
11
18
24
And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
field: 11018025
11
18
25
And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.
field: 11018026
11
18
26
And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
field: 11018027
11
18
27
And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
field: 11018028
11
18
28
And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
field: 11018029
11
18
29
And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
field: 11018030
11
18
30
And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.
field: 11018031
11
18
31
And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:
field: 11018032
11
18
32
And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.
field: 11018033
11
18
33
And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.
field: 11018034
11
18
34
And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.
field: 11018035
11
18
35
And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
field: 11018036
11
18
36
And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
field: 11018037
11
18
37
Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
field: 11018038
11
18
38
Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
field: 11018039
11
18
39
And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.
field: 11018040
11
18
40
And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
field: 11018041
11
18
41
And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.
field: 11018042
11
18
42
So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,
field: 11018043
11
18
43
And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
field: 11018044
11
18
44
And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down that the rain stop thee not.
field: 11018045
11
18
45
And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
field: 11018046
11
18
46
And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
field: 11019001
11
19
1
And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
field: 11019002
11
19
2
Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.
field: 11019003
11
19
3
And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.
field: 11019004
11
19
4
But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
field: 11019005
11
19
5
And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.
field: 11019006
11
19
6
And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.

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.
field: 11019008
11
19
8
And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.
field: 11019009
11
19
9
And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
field: 11019010
11
19
10
And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
field: 11019011
11
19
11
And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
field: 11019012
11
19
12
And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
field: 11019013
11
19
13
And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
field: 11019014
11
19
14
And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
field: 11019015
11
19
15
And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:
field: 11019016
11
19
16
And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
field: 11019017
11
19
17
And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
field: 11019018
11
19
18
Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
field: 11019019
11
19
19
So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.
field: 11019020
11
19
20
And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?
field: 11019021
11
19
21
And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.

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.
field: 11020002
11
20
2
And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Benhadad,
field: 11020003
11
20
3
Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.
field: 11020004
11
20
4
And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.
field: 11020005
11
20
5
And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Benhadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
field: 11020006
11
20
6
Yet I will send my servants unto thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.
field: 11020007
11
20
7
Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.
field: 11020008
11
20
8
And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent.
field: 11020009
11
20
9
Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Benhadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
field: 11020010
11
20
10
And Benhadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
field: 11020011
11
20
11
And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off.
field: 11020012
11
20
12
And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city.
field: 11020013
11
20
13
And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
field: 11020014
11
20
14
And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.
field: 11020015
11
20
15
Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
field: 11020016
11
20
16
And they went out at noon. But Benhadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.
field: 11020017
11
20
17
And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Benhadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
field: 11020018
11
20
18
And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.
field: 11020019
11
20
19
So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.
field: 11020020
11
20
20
And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.
field: 11020021
11
20
21
And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
field: 11020022
11
20
22
And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
field: 11020023
11
20
23
And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
field: 11020024
11
20
24
And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:
field: 11020025
11
20
25
And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
field: 11020026
11
20
26
And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Benhadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
field: 11020027
11
20
27
And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.
field: 11020028
11
20
28
And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 11020029
11
20
29
And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.
field: 11020030
11
20
30
But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Benhadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
field: 11020031
11
20
31
And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life.
field: 11020032
11
20
32
So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Benhadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
field: 11020033
11
20
33
Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Thy brother Benhadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Benhadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
field: 11020034
11
20
34
And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
field: 11020035
11
20
35
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbor in the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him.
field: 11020036
11
20
36
Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
field: 11020037
11
20
37
Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him.
field: 11020038
11
20
38
So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.
field: 11020039
11
20
39
And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
field: 11020040
11
20
40
And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.
field: 11020041
11
20
41
And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
field: 11020042
11
20
42
And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.
field: 11020043
11
20
43
And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
field: 11021001
11
21
1
And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
field: 11021002
11
21
2
And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
field: 11021003
11
21
3
And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
field: 11021004
11
21
4
And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
field: 11021005
11
21
5
But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
field: 11021006
11
21
6
And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
field: 11021007
11
21
7
And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
field: 11021008
11
21
8
So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
field: 11021009
11
21
9
And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
field: 11021010
11
21
10
And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
field: 11021011
11
21
11
And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
field: 11021012
11
21
12
They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
field: 11021013
11
21
13
And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
field: 11021014
11
21
14
Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
field: 11021015
11
21
15
And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
field: 11021016
11
21
16
And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
field: 11021017
11
21
17
And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
field: 11021018
11
21
18
Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.
field: 11021019
11
21
19
And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
field: 11021020
11
21
20
And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
field: 11021021
11
21
21
Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
field: 11021022
11
21
22
And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.
field: 11021023
11
21
23
And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
field: 11021024
11
21
24
Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
field: 11021025
11
21
25
But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
field: 11021026
11
21
26
And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
field: 11021027
11
21
27
And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
field: 11021028
11
21
28
And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
field: 11021029
11
21
29
Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.
field: 11022001
11
22
1
And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
field: 11022002
11
22
2
And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
field: 11022003
11
22
3
And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?
field: 11022004
11
22
4
And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
field: 11022005
11
22
5
And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.
field: 11022006
11
22
6
Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
field: 11022007
11
22
7
And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?
field: 11022008
11
22
8
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
field: 11022009
11
22
9
Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah.
field: 11022010
11
22
10
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
field: 11022011
11
22
11
And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have consumed them.
field: 11022012
11
22
12
And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king's hand.
field: 11022013
11
22
13
And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.
field: 11022014
11
22
14
And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak.
field: 11022015
11
22
15
So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
field: 11022016
11
22
16
And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the LORD?
field: 11022017
11
22
17
And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.
field: 11022018
11
22
18
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?
field: 11022019
11
22
19
And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
field: 11022020
11
22
20
And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
field: 11022021
11
22
21
And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.
field: 11022022
11
22
22
And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
field: 11022023
11
22
23
Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.
field: 11022024
11
22
24
But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?
field: 11022025
11
22
25
And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
field: 11022026
11
22
26
And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
field: 11022027
11
22
27
And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.
field: 11022028
11
22
28
And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.
field: 11022029
11
22
29
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead.

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.
field: 11022031
11
22
31
But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.
field: 11022032
11
22
32
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.
field: 11022033
11
22
33
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
field: 11022034
11
22
34
And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.
field: 11022035
11
22
35
And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.
field: 11022036
11
22
36
And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country.
field: 11022037
11
22
37
So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
field: 11022038
11
22
38
And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armor; according unto the word of the LORD which he spake.
field: 11022039

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?
field: 11022040
11
22
40
So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
field: 11022041
11
22
41
And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
field: 11022042
11
22
42
Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
field: 11022043
11
22
43
And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.
field: 11022044
11
22
44
And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
field: 11022045
11
22
45
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
field: 11022046
11
22
46
And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.
field: 11022047
11
22
47
There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
field: 11022048
11
22
48
Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Eziongeber.
field: 11022049
11
22
49
Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.
field: 11022050
11
22
50
And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
field: 11022051
11
22
51
Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.
field: 11022052
11
22
52
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:
field: 11022053
11
22
53
For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
field: 12001001
12

Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
field: 12001002
12

2
And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
field: 12001003
12
1
3
But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?
field: 12001004
12
1
4
Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.
field: 12001005
12
1
5
And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back?
field: 12001006
12
1
6
And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
field: 12001007
12
1
7
And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?
field: 12001008
12
1
8
And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
field: 12001009
12

9
Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.
field: 12001010
12
1
10
And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
field: 12001011
12
1
11
Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.
field: 12001012
12
1
12
And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
field: 12001013
12
1
13
And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
field: 12001014
12
1
14
Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.
field: 12001015
12
1
15
And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.
field: 12001016
12
1
16
And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
field: 12001017
12
1
17
So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
field: 12001018
12

18
Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
field: 12002001
12

1
And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
field: 12002002
12
2
2
And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.
field: 12002003
12
2
3
And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
field: 12002004
12
2
4
And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
field: 12002005
12
2
5
And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
field: 12002006
12
2
6
And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.
field: 12002007
12
2
7
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.
field: 12002008
12
2
8
And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.
field: 12002009
12
2
9
And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
field: 12002010
12
2
10
And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.
field: 12002011
12
2
11
And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
field: 12002012
12
2
12
And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
field: 12002013
12
2
13
He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;
field: 12002014
12
2
14
And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.
field: 12002015
12
2
15
And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
field: 12002016
12
2
16
And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.
field: 12002017
12
2
17
And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.
field: 12002018
12
2
18
And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?
field: 12002019
12
2
19
And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.
field: 12002020
12
2
20
And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
field: 12002021
12
2
21
And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.
field: 12002022
12
2
22
So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.
field: 12002023
12
2
23
And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
field: 12002024
12
2
24
And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
field: 12002025
12
2
25
And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
field: 12003001

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.
field: 12003002
12
3
2
And he wrought evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made.
field: 12003003
12
3
3
Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
field: 12003004
12

4
And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered unto the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
field: 12003005
12
3
5
But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
field: 12003006
12
3
6
And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.
field: 12003007
12
3
7
And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses.
field: 12003008
12
3
8
And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom.
field: 12003009
12
3
9
So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days' journey: and there was no water for the host, and for the cattle that followed them.
field: 12003010
12
3
10
And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!
field: 12003011
12
3
11
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may enquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.
field: 12003012
12
3
12
And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the LORD is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
field: 12003013
12
3
13
And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay: for the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
field: 12003014
12
3
14
And Elisha said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.
field: 12003015
12
3
15
But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.
field: 12003016
12
3
16
And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches.
field: 12003017
12
3
17
For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.
field: 12003018
12
3
18
And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.
field: 12003019
12
3
19
And ye shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.
field: 12003020
12
3
20
And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
field: 12003021
12
3
21
And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood in the border.
field: 12003022
12
3
22
And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood:
field: 12003023
12
3
23
And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
field: 12003024
12
3
24
And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their country.
field: 12003025
12
3
25
And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kirharaseth left they the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it.
field: 12003026
12
3
26
And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through even unto the king of Edom: but they could not.
field: 12003027
12
3
27
Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
field: 12004001
12

1
Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.
field: 12004002
12
4
2
And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.
field: 12004003
12
4
3
Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
field: 12004004
12
4
4
And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.
field: 12004005
12
4
5
So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.
field: 12004006
12
4
6
And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
field: 12004007
12
4
7
Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.
field: 12004008
12

8
And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.
field: 12004009
12
4
9
And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.
field: 12004010
12
4
10
Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.
field: 12004011
12
4
11
And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.
field: 12004012
12
4
12
And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.
field: 12004013
12
4
13
And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.
field: 12004014
12
4
14
And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.
field: 12004015
12
4
15
And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.
field: 12004016
12
4
16
And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.
field: 12004017
12
4
17
And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.
field: 12004018
12
4
18
And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.
field: 12004019
12
4
19
And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.
field: 12004020
12
4
20
And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.
field: 12004021
12
4
21
And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.
field: 12004022
12
4
22
And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.
field: 12004023
12
4
23
And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.
field: 12004024
12
4
24
Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.
field: 12004025
12
4
25
So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:
field: 12004026
12
4
26
Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well:
field: 12004027
12
4

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.
field: 12004028

28
Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?
field: 12004029
12
4
29
Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
field: 12004030
12
4
30
And the mother of the child said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.
field: 12004031
12
4
31
And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.
field: 12004032
12
4
32
And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.
field: 12004033
12
4
33
He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD.
field: 12004034
12
4
34
And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.
field: 12004035
12
4
35
Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
field: 12004036
12
4
36
And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.
field: 12004037
12
4
37
Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.
field: 12004038
12
4
38
And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets.
field: 12004039
12
4
39
And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not.
field: 12004040
12
4
40
So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.
field: 12004041
12
4
41
But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.
field: 12004042
12
4
42
And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat.
field: 12004043
12
4
43
And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.
field: 12004044
12
4
44
So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD.
field: 12005001

Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valor, but he was a leper.
field: 12005002
12
5
2
And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife.
field: 12005003
12
5
3
And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy.
field: 12005004
12
5
4
And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel.
field: 12005005
12
5
5
And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.
field: 12005006
12
5
6
And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy.
field: 12005007
12
5
7
And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.
field: 12005008
12
5
8
And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.
field: 12005009
12
5
9
So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
field: 12005010
12
5
10
And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.
field: 12005011
12
5
11
But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.
field: 12005012
12
5
12
Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.
field: 12005013
12
5
13
And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?
field: 12005014
12
5
14
Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
field: 12005015
12
5
15
And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.
field: 12005016
12
5
16
But he said, As the LORD liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused.
field: 12005017
12
5
17
And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant two mules' burden of earth? for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the LORD.
field: 12005018
12
5
18
In this thing the LORD pardon thy servant, that when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon: when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon thy servant in this thing.
field: 12005019
12
5
19
And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way.
field: 12005020
12
5
20
But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.
field: 12005021
12
5
21
So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?
field: 12005022
12
5
22
And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.
field: 12005023
12
5
23
And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him.
field: 12005024
12
5
24
And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed.
field: 12005025
12
5
25
But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither.
field: 12005026
12
5
26
And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?
field: 12005027
12
5
27
The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
field: 12006001
12
6
1
And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
field: 12006002
12
6
2
Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
field: 12006003
12
6
3
And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.
field: 12006004
12
6
4
So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.
field: 12006005
12
6
5
But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
field: 12006006
12
6
6
And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.
field: 12006007
12
6
7
Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
field: 12006008
12
6
8
Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
field: 12006009
12
6
9
And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
field: 12006010
12
6
10
And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.
field: 12006011
12
6
11
Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not show me which of us is for the king of Israel?
field: 12006012
12
6
12
And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
field: 12006013
12
6
13
And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
field: 12006014
12
6
14
Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
field: 12006015
12
6
15
And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
field: 12006016
12
6
16
And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
field: 12006017
12
6
17
And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
field: 12006018
12
6
18
And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
field: 12006019
12
6
19
And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria.
field: 12006020
12
6
20
And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
field: 12006021
12
6
21
And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?
field: 12006022
12
6
22
And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
field: 12006023
12
6
23
And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
field: 12006024
12
6
24
And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
field: 12006025
12
6
25
And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
field: 12006026
12
6
26
And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
field: 12006027
12
6
27
And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?
field: 12006028
12
6
28
And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
field: 12006029
12
6
29
So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.
field: 12006030
12
6
30
And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.
field: 12006031
12
6
31
Then he said, God do so and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
field: 12006032
12
6
32
But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
field: 12006033
12
6
33
And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the LORD; what should I wait for the LORD any longer?
field: 12007001
12
7
1
Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
field: 12007002
12
7
2
Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
field: 12007003
12
7
3
And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
field: 12007004
12
7
4
If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
field: 12007005
12
7
5
And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.
field: 12007006
12
7
6
For the LORD had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
field: 12007007
12
7
7
Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
field: 12007008
12
7
8
And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.
field: 12007009
12
7
9
Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household.
field: 12007010
12
7
10
So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were.
field: 12007011
12
7
11
And he called the porters; and they told it to the king's house within.
field: 12007012
12
7
12
And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.
field: 12007013
12
7
13
And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us send and see.
field: 12007014
12
7
14
They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
field: 12007015
12
7
15
And they went after them unto Jordan: and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.
field: 12007016
12
7
16
And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.
field: 12007017
12
7
17
And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him.
field: 12007018
12
7
18
And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:
field: 12007019
12
7
19
And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
field: 12007020
12
7
20
And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died.
field: 12008001
12
8
1
Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.
field: 12008002
12
8
2
And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
field: 12008003
12
8
3
And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land.
field: 12008004
12
8
4
And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.
field: 12008005
12
8
5
And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.
field: 12008006
12
8
6
And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.
field: 12008007
12
8
7
And Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come hither.
field: 12008008
12
8
8
And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand, and go, meet the man of God, and enquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
field: 12008009
12
8
9
So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Benhadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
field: 12008010
12
8
10
And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover: howbeit the LORD hath showed me that he shall surely die.
field: 12008011
12
8
11
And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.
field: 12008012
12
8
12
And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child.
field: 12008013
12
8
13
And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD hath showed me that thou shalt be king over Syria.
field: 12008014
12
8
14
So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me that thou shouldest surely recover.
field: 12008015
12
8
15
And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his stead.
field: 12008016

And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.

Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

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.

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.

In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.

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.
field: 12008022
12

22
Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
field: 12008023

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?
field: 12008024

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.

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.
field: 12008026

26
Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
field: 12008027
12
8
27
And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab: for he was the son in law of the house of Ahab.
field: 12008028
12

And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramothgilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
field: 12008029
12

29
And king Joram went back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.

And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramothgilead:

2
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;
field: 12009003
12

3
Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.
field: 12009004
12

So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramothgilead.
field: 12009005
12

5
And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain.
field: 12009006
12

6
And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the LORD, even over Israel.
field: 12009007
12

And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.

For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:
field: 12009009
12
9
9
And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah:

10
And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
field: 12009011
12

11
Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication.
field: 12009012
12
9
12
And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel.
field: 12009013
12
9
13
Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king.
field: 12009014
12
9
14
So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ramothgilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria.
field: 12009015
12
9
15
But king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your minds, then let none go forth nor escape out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel.
field: 12009016
12
9
16
So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram.
field: 12009017
12
9
17
And there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take an horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?
field: 12009018
12
9
18
So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he cometh not again.
field: 12009019
12
9
19
Then he sent out a second on horseback, which came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me.
field: 12009020
12
9
20
And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.
field: 12009021
12
9
21
And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.
field: 12009022
12
9
22
And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
field: 12009023
12
9
23
And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah.
field: 12009024
12
9
24
And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
field: 12009025
12
9
25
Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden upon him;
field: 12009026
12
9
26
Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the LORD; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat of ground, according to the word of the LORD.
field: 12009027
12
9
27
But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.
field: 12009028
12
9
28
And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
field: 12009029
12
9
29
And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.
field: 12009030
12

30
And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window.
field: 12009031
12
9
31
And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?
field: 12009032
12
9
32
And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.
field: 12009033
12
9
33
And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot.
field: 12009034
12
9
34
And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king's daughter.
field: 12009035
12
9
35
And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
field: 12009036
12
9
36
Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:
field: 12009037
12
9
37
And the carcass of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
field: 12010001
12

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,
field: 12010002
12
10
2
Now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fenced city also, and armor;
field: 12010003
12
10
3
Look even out the best and meetest of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.
field: 12010004
12
10
4
But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand?
field: 12010005
12
10
5
And he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and the bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes.
field: 12010006
12
10
6
Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If ye be mine, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to morrow this time. Now the king's sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, which brought them up.
field: 12010007
12
10
7
And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent him them to Jezreel.
field: 12010008
12
10
8
And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at the entering in of the gate until the morning.
field: 12010009
12
10
9
And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye be righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these?
field: 12010010
12
10
10
Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spake concerning the house of Ahab: for the LORD hath done that which he spake by his servant Elijah.
field: 12010011
12
10
11
So Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsfolk, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.
field: 12010012
12
10
12
And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing house in the way,
field: 12010013
12
10
13
Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah; and we go down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.
field: 12010014
12
10
14
And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing house, even two and forty men; neither left he any of them.
field: 12010015
12
10
15
And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thine hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
field: 12010016
12
10
16
And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD. So they made him ride in his chariot.
field: 12010017
12
10
17
And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spake to Elijah.
field: 12010018
12
10
18
And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much.
field: 12010019
12
10
19
Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
field: 12010020
12
10
20
And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.
field: 12010021
12
10
21
And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to another.
field: 12010022
12
10
22
And he said unto him that was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.
field: 12010023
12
10
23
And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only.
field: 12010024
12
10
24
And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him.
field: 12010025
12
10
25
And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.
field: 12010026
12
10
26
And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them.
field: 12010027
12
10
27
And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day.
field: 12010028
12
10
28
Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
field: 12010029
12
10
29
Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.
field: 12010030
12
10
30
And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.
field: 12010031
12
10
31
But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.
field: 12010032
12
10
32
In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel;
field: 12010033
12
10
33
From Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.
field: 12010034
12
10
34
Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
field: 12010035
12
10
35
And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.
field: 12010036
12
10
36
And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.

And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
field: 12011002
12
11
2
But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
field: 12011003
12
11
3
And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.
field: 12011004

And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and showed them the king's son.
field: 12011005
12
11
5
And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of the king's house;
field: 12011006
12
11
6
And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down.
field: 12011007
12
11
7
And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about the king.
field: 12011008
12
11
8
And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in.
field: 12011009
12
11
9
And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
field: 12011010
12
11
10
And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David's spears and shields, that were in the temple of the LORD.
field: 12011011
12
11
11
And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple.
field: 12011012
12
11
12
And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king.
field: 12011013
12
11
13
And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD.
field: 12011014
12
11
14
And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.
field: 12011015
12
11
15
But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.
field: 12011016
12
11
16
And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain.
field: 12011017
12
11
17
And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD's people; between the king also and the people.
field: 12011018
12
11
18
And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD.
field: 12011019
12
11
19
And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.
field: 12011020
12
11
20
And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king's house.

21
Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.
field: 12012001
12
12
1
In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
field: 12012002
12
12
2
And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
field: 12012003
12
12
3
But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
field: 12012004
12
12
4
And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD, even the money of every one that passeth the account, the money that every man is set at, and all the money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of the LORD,
field: 12012005
12
12
5
Let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found.
field: 12012006
12
12
6
But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.
field: 12012007
12
12
7
Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.
field: 12012008
12
12
8
And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house.
field: 12012009
12
12
9
But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the LORD: and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD.
field: 12012010
12
12

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.
field: 12012011
12
12
11
And they gave the money, being told, into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD: and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the house of the LORD,
field: 12012012
12
12
12
And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
field: 12012013
12
12
13
Howbeit there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD:
field: 12012014
12
12
14
But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house of the LORD.
field: 12012015
12
12
15
Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully.
field: 12012016
12
12
16
The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the LORD: it was the priests'.

Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.

12
12
18
And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.
field: 12012019
12
12
19
And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
field: 12012020
12
12
20
And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla.

For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.

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.
field: 12013002
12
13
2
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
field: 12013003
12
13
3
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, all their days.
field: 12013004
12
13
4
And Jehoahaz besought the LORD, and the LORD hearkened unto him: for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them.
field: 12013005
12
13
5
(And the LORD gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as beforetime.
field: 12013006
12
13
6
Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel sin, but walked therein: and there remained the grove also in Samaria.)
field: 12013007
12
13
7
Neither did he leave of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust by threshing.
field: 12013008
12
13
8
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
field: 12013009
12
13
9
And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his stead.

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.
field: 12013011
12
13
11
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin: but he walked therein.
field: 12013012
12
13
12
And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
field: 12013013
12
13

And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
field: 12013014
12

14
Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.
field: 12013015
12
13
15
And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows.
field: 12013016
12
13
16
And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands.
field: 12013017
12
13
17
And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD's deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them.
field: 12013018
12
13
18
And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed.
field: 12013019
12
13
19
And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.
field: 12013020
12
13
20
And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
field: 12013021
12
13
21
And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
field: 12013022
12
13
22
But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
field: 12013023
12
13
23
And the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.
field: 12013024
12
13
24
So Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his stead.
field: 12013025
12
13
25
And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities, which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times did Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel.

In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah.

He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
field: 12014003
12
14
3
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father did.
field: 12014004
12
14
4
Howbeit the high places were not taken away: as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places.
field: 12014005
12
14
5
And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the king his father.
field: 12014006
12
14
6
But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
field: 12014007
12
14

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.
field: 12014008
12
14
8
Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.
field: 12014009
12
14
9
And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
field: 12014010
12
14
10
Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thine heart hath lifted thee up: glory of this, and tarry at home: for why shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
field: 12014011
12
14
11
But Amaziah would not hear. Therefore Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
field: 12014012
12
14
12
And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to their tents.
field: 12014013
12
14
13
And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
field: 12014014
12
14
14
And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria.
field: 12014015
12
14

field: 12014016
12
14

And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.
field: 12014017
12
14
17
And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.

18
And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

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.
field: 12014020
12
14
20
And they brought him on horses: and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.

21
And all the people of Judah took Azariah, which was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.

field: 12014024

24
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.
field: 12014025
12
14
25
He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gathhepher.
field: 12014026
12
14
26
For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel.
field: 12014027
12
14
27
And the LORD said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.

4
Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places.
field: 12015005

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.

In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria.

And 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.

12
15
20
And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land.

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.

But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel.

And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

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.

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.

And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, upon the altar.

And he brought also the brazen altar, which was before the LORD, from the forefront of the house, from between the altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of the altar.

12
16
18
And the covert for the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king's entry without, turned he from the house of the LORD for the king of Assyria.
field: 12016019
12
16
19
Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
field: 12016020
12
16
20
And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
field: 12017001
12
17
1
In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
field: 12017002
12
17
2
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
field: 12017003
12
17
3
Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.
field: 12017004
12
17
4
And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.
field: 12017005
12
17
5
Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
field: 12017006
12
17
6
In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
field: 12017007
12
17
7
For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
field: 12017008
12
17
8
And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.
field: 12017009
12
17
9
And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
field: 12017010
12
17
10
And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree:
field: 12017011
12
17
11
And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:
field: 12017012
12
17
12
For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.
field: 12017013
12
17
13
Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.
field: 12017014
12
17
14
Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.
field: 12017015
12
17
15
And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.
field: 12017016
12
17
16
And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
field: 12017017
12
17
17
And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
field: 12017018
12
17
18
Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
field: 12017019
12
17
19
Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
field: 12017020
12
17
20
And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.
field: 12017021
12
17
21
For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.
field: 12017022
12
17
22
For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;
field: 12017023
12
17
23
Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.
field: 12017024
12
17
24
And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
field: 12017025
12
17
25
And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew some of them.
field: 12017026
12
17
26
Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
field: 12017027
12
17
27
Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.
field: 12017028
12
17
28
Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.
field: 12017029
12
17
29
Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
field: 12017030
12
17
30
And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
field: 12017031
12
17
31
And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
field: 12017032
12
17
32
So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
field: 12017033
12
17
33
They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.
field: 12017034
12
17
34
Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;
field: 12017035
12
17
35
With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:
field: 12017036
12
17
36
But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.
field: 12017037
12
17
37
And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.
field: 12017038
12
17
38
And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.
field: 12017039
12
17
39
But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
field: 12017040
12
17
40
Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.
field: 12017041
12
17
41
So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.
field: 12018001
12
18
1
Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
field: 12018002
12
18
2
Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.
field: 12018003
12
18
3
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did.
field: 12018004
12
18
4
He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.
field: 12018005
12
18
5
He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him.
field: 12018006
12
18
6
For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.
field: 12018007
12
18
7
And the LORD was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.
field: 12018008
12
18
8
He smote the Philistines, even unto Gaza, and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
field: 12018009
12
18
9
And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
field: 12018010
12
18
10
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.
field: 12018011
12
18
11
And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:
field: 12018012
12
18
12
Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them.
field: 12018013
12
18
13
Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them.
field: 12018014
12
18
14
And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
field: 12018015
12
18
15
And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house.
field: 12018016
12
18
16
At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
field: 12018017
12
18
17
And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller's field.
field: 12018018
12
18
18
And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.
field: 12018019
12
18
19
And Rabshakeh said unto them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
field: 12018020
12
18
20
Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words,) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
field: 12018021
12
18
21
Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.
field: 12018022
12
18
22
But if ye say unto me, We trust in the LORD our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?
field: 12018023
12
18
23
Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
field: 12018024
12
18
24
How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
field: 12018025
12
18
25
Am I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
field: 12018026
12
18
26
Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews' language in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
field: 12018027
12
18
27
But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?
field: 12018028
12
18
28
Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:
field: 12018029
12
18
29
Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:
field: 12018030
12
18
30
Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
field: 12018031
12
18
31
Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern:
field: 12018032
12
18
32
Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The LORD will deliver us.
field: 12018033
12
18
33
Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
field: 12018034
12
18
34
Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out of mine hand?
field: 12018035
12
18
35
Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of mine hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand?
field: 12018036
12
18
36
But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
field: 12018037
12
18
37
Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
field: 12019001
12
19
1
And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
field: 12019002
12
19
2
And he sent Eliakim, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
field: 12019003
12
19
3
And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
field: 12019004
12
19
4
It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that are left.
field: 12019005
12
19
5
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
field: 12019006
12
19
6
And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
field: 12019007
12
19
7
Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumor, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
field: 12019008
12
19
8
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
field: 12019009
12
19
9
And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying,
field: 12019010
12
19
10
Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
field: 12019011
12
19
11
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?
field: 12019012
12
19
12
Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed; as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Thelasar?
field: 12019013
12
19
13
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivah?
field: 12019014
12
19
14
And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
field: 12019015
12
19
15
And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubim, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.
field: 12019016
12
19
16
LORD, bow down thine ear, and hear: open, LORD, thine eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him to reproach the living God.
field: 12019017
12
19
17
Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands,
field: 12019018
12
19
18
And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.
field: 12019019
12
19
19
Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only.
field: 12019020
12
19
20
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.
field: 12019021
12
19
21
This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin the daughter of Zion hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
field: 12019022
12
19
22
Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.
field: 12019023
12
19
23
By thy messengers thou hast reproached the LORD, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down the tall cedar trees thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel.
field: 12019024
12
19
24
I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places.
field: 12019025
12
19
25
Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps.
field: 12019026
12
19
26
Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the house tops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
field: 12019027
12
19
27
But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
field: 12019028
12
19
28
Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
field: 12019029
12
19
29
And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof.
field: 12019030
12
19
30
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
field: 12019031
12
19
31
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.
field: 12019032
12
19
32
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.
field: 12019033
12
19
33
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.
field: 12019034
12
19
34
For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
field: 12019035
12
19
35
And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
field: 12019036
12
19
36
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
field: 12019037
12
19
37
And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
field: 12020001
12

1
In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.
field: 12020002
12

2
Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying,
field: 12020003
12
20
3
I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
field: 12020004
12
20
4
And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
field: 12020005
12
20
5
Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.
field: 12020006
12
20
6
And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
field: 12020007
12
20
7
And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.
field: 12020008
12
20
8
And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?
field: 12020009
12
20
9
And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
field: 12020010
12
20
10
And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.
field: 12020011
12
20
11
And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.
field: 12020012
12
20
12
At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.
field: 12020013
12
20
13
And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and showed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not.
field: 12020014
12
20
14
Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon.
field: 12020015
12
20
15
And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them.
field: 12020016
12
20
16
And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD.
field: 12020017
12
20
17
Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.
field: 12020018
12
20
18
And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
field: 12020019
12
20
19
Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?
field: 12020020
12
20
20
And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
field: 12020021
12
20
21
And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
field: 12021001
12
21
1
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzibah.
field: 12021002
12
21
2
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
field: 12021003
12
21
3
For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
field: 12021004
12
21
4
And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
field: 12021005
12
21
5
And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
field: 12021006
12
21
6
And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
field: 12021007
12
21
7
And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
field: 12021008
12
21
8
Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.
field: 12021009
12
21
9
But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.
field: 12021010
12
21
10
And the LORD spake by his servants the prophets, saying,
field: 12021011
12
21
11
Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols:
field: 12021012
12
21
12
Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.
field: 12021013
12
21
13
And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.
field: 12021014
12
21
14
And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
field: 12021015
12
21
15
Because they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.
field: 12021016
12
21
16
Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
field: 12021017
12
21
17
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
field: 12021018
12
21
18
And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
field: 12021019
12
21
19
Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
field: 12021020
12
21
20
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh did.
field: 12021021
12
21
21
And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:
field: 12021022
12
21
22
And he forsook the LORD God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the LORD.
field: 12021023
12
21
23
And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house.
field: 12021024
12
21
24
And the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
field: 12021025
12
21
25
Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
field: 12021026
12
21
26
And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
field: 12022001
12
22
1
Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath.
field: 12022002
12
22
2
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.
field: 12022003
12
22
3
And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying,
field: 12022004
12
22
4
Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people:
field: 12022005
12
22
5
And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD: and let them give it to the doers of the work which is in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house,
field: 12022006
12
22
6
Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.
field: 12022007
12
22
7
Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.
field: 12022008
12
22
8
And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
field: 12022009
12
22
9
And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD.
field: 12022010
12
22
10
And Shaphan the scribe showed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
field: 12022011
12
22
11
And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.
field: 12022012
12
22
12
And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king's, saying,
field: 12022013
12
22
13
Go ye, enquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.
field: 12022014
12
22
14
So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her.
field: 12022015
12
22
15
And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me,
field: 12022016
12
22
16
Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read:
field: 12022017
12
22
17
Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.
field: 12022018
12
22
18
But to the king of Judah which sent you to enquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard;
field: 12022019
12
22
19
Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD.
field: 12022020
12
22
20
Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.
field: 12023001
12
23
1
And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
field: 12023002
12
23
2
And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.
field: 12023003
12
23
3
And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.
field: 12023004
12
23
4
And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel.
field: 12023005
12
23
5
And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
field: 12023006
12
23
6
And he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people.
field: 12023007
12
23
7
And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove.
field: 12023008
12
23
8
And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba, and brake down the high places of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.
field: 12023009
12
23
9
Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they did eat of the unleavened bread among their brethren.
field: 12023010
12
23
10
And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
field: 12023011
12
23
11
And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathanmelech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
field: 12023012
12
23
12
And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king beat down, and brake them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
field: 12023013
12
23
13
And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
field: 12023014
12
23
14
And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.
field: 12023015
12
23
15
Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he brake down, and burned the high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned the grove.
field: 12023016
12
23
16
And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.
field: 12023017
12
23
17
Then he said, What title is that that I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, which came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Bethel.
field: 12023018
12
23
18
And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
field: 12023019
12
23
19
And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
field: 12023020
12
23
20
And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there upon the altars, and burned men's bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.
field: 12023021
12
23
21
And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.
field: 12023022
12
23
22
Surely there was not holden such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
field: 12023023
12
23
23
But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein this passover was holden to the LORD in Jerusalem.
field: 12023024
12
23
24
Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.
field: 12023025
12
23
25
And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
field: 12023026
12
23
26
Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal.
field: 12023027
12
23
27
And the LORD said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.
field: 12023028
12
23
28
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
field: 12023029
12
23
29
In his days Pharaohnechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
field: 12023030
12
23
30
And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead.
field: 12023031
12
23
31
Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
field: 12023032
12
23
32
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
field: 12023033
12
23
33
And Pharaohnechoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of an hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
field: 12023034
12
23
34
And Pharaohnechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt, and died there.
field: 12023035
12
23
35
And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaohnechoh.
field: 12023036
12
23
36
Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
field: 12023037
12
23
37
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
field: 12024001
12
24
1
In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.
field: 12024002
12
24
2
And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servants the prophets.
field: 12024003
12
24
3
Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;
field: 12024004
12
24
4
And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon.
field: 12024005
12
24
5
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
field: 12024006
12
24
6
So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
field: 12024007
12
24
7
And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land: for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
field: 12024008
12
24
8
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
field: 12024009
12
24
9
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done.
field: 12024010
12
24
10
At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
field: 12024011
12
24
11
And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it.
field: 12024012
12
24
12
And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
field: 12024013
12
24
13
And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said.
field: 12024014

And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.
field: 12024015
12
24
15
And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
field: 12024016
12
24
16
And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that were strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
field: 12024017
12
24
17
And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
field: 12024018
12
24
18
Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
field: 12024019
12
24
19
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
field: 12024020
12
24
20
For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
field: 12025001
12
25
1
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.
field: 12025002
12
25
2
And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
field: 12025003
12
25
3
And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
field: 12025004
12
25
4
And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain.
field: 12025005
12
25
5
And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.
field: 12025006
12
25
6
So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
field: 12025007
12
25
7
And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
field: 12025008
12
25
8
And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
field: 12025009
12
25
9
And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.
field: 12025010
12
25
10
And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
field: 12025011
12
25
11
Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away.
field: 12025012
12
25
12
But the captain of the guard left of the door of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
field: 12025013
12
25
13
And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
field: 12025014
12
25
14
And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
field: 12025015
12
25
15
And the firepans, and the bowls, and such things as were of gold, in gold, and of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
field: 12025016
12
25
16
The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
field: 12025017
12
25
17
The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was brass: and the height of the chapiter three cubits; and the wreathed work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathed work.
field: 12025018
12
25
18
And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
field: 12025019
12
25
19
And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king's presence, which were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land that were found in the city:
field: 12025020
12
25
20
And Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
field: 12025021
12
25
21
And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.
field: 12025022
12
25
22
And as for the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.
field: 12025023
12
25
23
And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
field: 12025024
12
25
24
And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.
field: 12025025
12
25
25
But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.
field: 12025026
12
25
26
And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.
field: 12025027
12
25
27
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
field: 12025028
12
25
28
And he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon;
field: 12025029
12
25
29
And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life.
field: 12025030
12
25

And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.

And other of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath.

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.
field: 13009034

34
These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem.
field: 13009035

35
And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name was Maachah:

And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab.

And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.

And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem, over against their brethren.

And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.

Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
field: 13010002
13
10
2
And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
field: 13010003
13
10
3
And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.
field: 13010004
13
10
4
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.
field: 13010005
13
10
5
And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.
field: 13010006
13
10
6
So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.
field: 13010007
13
10
7
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.
field: 13010008
13
10
8
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.
field: 13010009
13
10
9
And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people.
field: 13010010
13
10
10
And they put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.
field: 13010011
13
10
11
And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
field: 13010012
13
10
12
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.
field: 13010013
13
10
13
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;
field: 13010014
13
10
14
And inquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
field: 13011001
13
11
1
Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
field: 13011002
13
11
2
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.
field: 13011003
13
11
3
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.
field: 13011004
13
11
4
And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.
field: 13011005
13
11
5
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.
field: 13011006
13
11
6
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.
field: 13011007
13
11
7
And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David.
field: 13011008
13
11
8
And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
field: 13011009
13
11
9
So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him.
field: 13011010
13
11
10
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.
field: 13011011
13
11
11
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.
field: 13011012
13
11
12
And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties.
field: 13011013
13
11
13
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.
field: 13011014
13
11
14
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.
field: 13011015
13
11
15
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.
field: 13011016
13
11
16
And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem.
field: 13011017
13
11
17
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!
field: 13011018
13
11
18
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.
field: 13011019
13
11
19
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.
field: 13011020
13
11
20
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.
field: 13011021
13
11
21
Of the three, he was more honorable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three.
field: 13011022
13
11
22
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.
field: 13011023
13
11
23
And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a 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.
field: 13011024
13
11
24
These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighties.
field: 13011025
13
11
25
Behold, he was honorable among the thirty, but attained not to the first three: and David set him over his guard.
field: 13011026

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.

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;

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.
field: 13012015
13
12
15
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.
field: 13012016
13
12
16
And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David.
field: 13012017
13
12
17
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.
field: 13012018
13
12
18
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.
field: 13012019
13
12
19
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.
field: 13012020
13
12
20
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.
field: 13012021
13
12
21
And they helped David against the band of the rovers: for they were all mighty men of valor, and were captains in the host.
field: 13012022
13
12
22
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.
field: 13012023
13
12
23
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.
field: 13012024
13
12

And Zadok, a young man mighty of valor, and of his father's house twenty and two captains.
field: 13012029
13
12
29
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.

And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous throughout the house of their fathers.

And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, which were expressed by name, to come and make David king.
field: 13012032
13
12
32
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.
field: 13012033
13
12
33
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.
field: 13012034
13
12
34
And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty and seven thousand.
field: 13012035

And of the Danites expert in war twenty and eight thousand and six hundred.

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.
field: 13012038
13
12
38
All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.
field: 13012039
13
12
39
And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.
field: 13012040
13
12
40
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.
field: 13013001
13
13
1
And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.
field: 13013002
13
13
2
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:
field: 13013003
13
13
3
And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul.
field: 13013004
13
13
4
And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
field: 13013005
13
13
5
So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim.
field: 13013006
13
13
6
And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjathjearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubim, whose name is called on it.
field: 13013007
13
13
7
And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.
field: 13013008
13
13
8
And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
field: 13013009
13
13
9
And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
field: 13013010
13
13
10
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.
field: 13013011
13
13
11
And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day.
field: 13013012
13
13
12
And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?
field: 13013013
13
13
13
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.
field: 13013014
13
13
14
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.
field: 13014001
13

1
Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.
field: 13014002
13
14
2
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.
field: 13014003
13
14
3
And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.
field: 13014004
13
14
4
Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

8
And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard of it, and went out against them.
field: 13014009
13
14
9
And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

10
And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.
field: 13014011
13
14
11
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.
field: 13014012
13
14
12
And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
field: 13014013
13
14
13
And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.
field: 13014014
13
14
14
Therefore David inquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
field: 13014015
13
14
15
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.
field: 13014016
13
14
16
David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
field: 13014017
13
14
17
And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
field: 13015001
13
15
1
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.
field: 13015002
13
15
2
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.
field: 13015003
13
15
3
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.
field: 13015004
13
15
4
And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites:
field: 13015005
13
15
5
Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty:
field: 13015006
13
15
6
Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty:
field: 13015007
13
15
7
Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief and his brethren an hundred and thirty:
field: 13015008
13
15
8
Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred:
field: 13015009
13
15
9
Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore:
field: 13015010
13
15
10
Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve.
field: 13015011
13
15
11
And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,
field: 13015012
13
15
12
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.
field: 13015013
13
15
13
For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.
field: 13015014
13
15
14
So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.
field: 13015015
13
15
15
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.
field: 13015016
13
15
16
And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.
field: 13015017
13
15
17
So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;
field: 13015018
13
15
18
And with them their brethren of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters.
field: 13015019
13
15
19
So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass;
field: 13015020
13
15
20
And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;
field: 13015021
13
15
21
And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.
field: 13015022
13
15
22
And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was skillful.
field: 13015023
13
15
23
And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.
field: 13015024
13
15
24
And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.
field: 13015025
13
15
25
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.
field: 13015026
13
15
26
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.
field: 13015027
13
15
27
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.
field: 13015028
13
15
28
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.
field: 13015029
13
15
29
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.
field: 13016001
13
16
1
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.
field: 13016002
13
16
2
And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.
field: 13016003
13
16
3
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.
field: 13016004
13
16
4
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:
field: 13016005
13
16
5
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;
field: 13016006
13
16
6
Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
field: 13016007
13
16
7
Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
field: 13016008
13
16
8
Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
field: 13016009
13
16
9
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
field: 13016010
13
16
10
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
field: 13016011
13
16
11
Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.
field: 13016012
13
16
12
Remember his marvelous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
field: 13016013
13
16
13
O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
field: 13016014
13
16
14
He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
field: 13016015
13
16
15
Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;
field: 13016016
13
16
16
Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
field: 13016017
13
16
17
And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
field: 13016018
13
16
18
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
field: 13016019
13
16
19
When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
field: 13016020
13
16
20
And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;
field: 13016021
13
16
21
He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
field: 13016022
13
16
22
Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
field: 13016023
13
16
23
Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; show forth from day to day his salvation.
field: 13016024
13
16
24
Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvelous works among all nations.
field: 13016025
13
16
25
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.
field: 13016026
13
16
26
For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
field: 13016027
13
16
27
Glory and honor are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.
field: 13016028
13
16
28
Give unto the LORD, ye kindred of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
field: 13016029
13
16
29
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.
field: 13016030
13
16
30
Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
field: 13016031
13
16
31
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.
field: 13016032
13
16
32
Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.
field: 13016033
13
16
33
Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.
field: 13016034
13
16
34
O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
field: 13016035
13
16
35
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.
field: 13016036
13
16
36
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.
field: 13016037
13
16
37
So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required:
field: 13016038
13
16
38
And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:
field: 13016039
13
16
39
And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,
field: 13016040
13
16
40
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;
field: 13016041
13
16
41
And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever;
field: 13016042
13
16
42
And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters.
field: 13016043
13
16
43
And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
field: 13017001
13
17
1
Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains.
field: 13017002
13
17
2
Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee.
field: 13017003
13
17
3
And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
field: 13017004
13
17
4
Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:
field: 13017005
13
17
5
For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
field: 13017006
13
17
6
Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?
field: 13017007
13
17
7
Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:
field: 13017008
13
17
8
And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.
field: 13017009
13
17
9
Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,
field: 13017010
13
17
10
And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house.
field: 13017011
13
17
11
And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
field: 13017012
13
17
12
He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.
field: 13017013
13
17
13
I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:
field: 13017014
13
17
14
But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.
field: 13017015
13
17
15
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
field: 13017016
13
17
16
And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
field: 13017017
13
17
17
And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.
field: 13017018
13
17
18
What can David speak more to thee for the honor of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.
field: 13017019
13
17
19
O LORD, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.
field: 13017020
13
17
20
O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
field: 13017021
13
17
21
And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?
field: 13017022
13
17
22
For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.
field: 13017023
13
17
23
Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.
field: 13017024
13
17
24
Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.
field: 13017025
13
17
25
For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee.
field: 13017026
13
17
26
And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
field: 13017027
13
17
27
Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O LORD, and it shall be blessed for ever.
field: 13018001
13
18
1
Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
field: 13018002
13
18
2
And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.
field: 13018003
13
18
3
And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
field: 13018004
13
18
4
And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots.
field: 13018005
13
18
5
And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
field: 13018006
13
18
6
Then David put garrisons in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
field: 13018007
13
18
7
And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
field: 13018008
13
18
8
Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
field: 13018009
13
18
9
Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
field: 13018010
13
18
10
He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
field: 13018011
13
18
11
Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
field: 13018012
13
18
12
Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.
field: 13018013
13
18
13
And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
field: 13018014
13
18
14
So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.
field: 13018015
13
18
15
And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.
field: 13018016
13
18
16
And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
field: 13018017
13
18
17
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.
field: 13019001
13
19
1
Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
field: 13019002
13
19
2
And David said, I will show kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
field: 13019003
13
19
3
But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honor thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
field: 13019004
13
19
4
Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away.
field: 13019005
13
19
5
Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
field: 13019006
13
19
6
And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syriamaachah, and out of Zobah.
field: 13019007
13
19
7
So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
field: 13019008
13
19
8
And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
field: 13019009
13
19
9
And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.
field: 13019010
13
19
10
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
field: 13019011
13
19
11
And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
field: 13019012
13
19
12
And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
field: 13019013
13
19
13
Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight.
field: 13019014
13
19
14
So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.
field: 13019015
13
19
15
And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
field: 13019016
13
19
16
And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
field: 13019017
13
19
17
And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
field: 13019018
13
19
18
But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
field: 13019019
13
19
19
And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
field: 13020001
13
20
1
And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.
field: 13020002
13
20
2
And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city.
field: 13020003
13
20
3
And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
field: 13020004
13
20
4
And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.
field: 13020005
13
20
5
And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam.
field: 13020006
13
20
6
And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot and he also was the son of the giant.
field: 13020007
13
20
7
But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.
field: 13020008
13
20
8
These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
field: 13021001
13
21
1
And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
field: 13021002
13
21
2
And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.
field: 13021003
13
21
3
And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?
field: 13021004
13
21
4
Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
field: 13021005
13
21
5
And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword.
field: 13021006
13
21
6
But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
field: 13021007
13
21
7
And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel.
field: 13021008
13
21
8
And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
field: 13021009
13
21
9
And the LORD spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,
field: 13021010
13
21
10
Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
field: 13021011
13
21
11
So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee
field: 13021012
13
21
12
Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.
field: 13021013
13
21
13
And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man.
field: 13021014
13
21
14
So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
field: 13021015
13
21
15
And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
field: 13021016
13
21
16
And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
field: 13021017
13
21
17
And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.
field: 13021018
13
21
18
Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
field: 13021019
13
21
19
And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of the LORD.
field: 13021020
13
21
20
And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
field: 13021021
13
21
21
And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.
field: 13021022
13
21
22
Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people.
field: 13021023
13
21
23
And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all.
field: 13021024
13
21
24
And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.
field: 13021025
13
21
25
So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
field: 13021026
13
21
26
And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.
field: 13021027
13
21
27
And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.
field: 13021028
13
21
28
At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
field: 13021029
13
21
29
For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon.
field: 13021030
13
21
30
But David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
field: 13022001
13
22
1
Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.
field: 13022002
13
22
2
And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.
field: 13022003
13
22
3
And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;
field: 13022004
13
22
4
Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.
field: 13022005
13
22
5
And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.
field: 13022006
13
22
6
Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel.
field: 13022007
13
22
7
And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:
field: 13022008
13
22
8
But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.
field: 13022009
13
22
9
Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.
field: 13022010
13
22
10
He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.
field: 13022011
13
22
11
Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.
field: 13022012
13
22
12
Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.
field: 13022013
13
22
13
Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.
field: 13022014
13
22
14
Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.
field: 13022015
13
22
15
Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work.
field: 13022016
13
22
16
Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.
field: 13022017
13
22
17
David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
field: 13022018
13
22
18
Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people.
field: 13022019
13
22
19
Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.
field: 13023001
13
23
1
So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
field: 13023002
13
23
2
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
field: 13023003
13
23
3
Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.
field: 13023004
13
23
4
Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges:
field: 13023005
13
23
5
Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.
field: 13023006
13
23
6
And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
field: 13023007
13
23
7
Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.
field: 13023008
13
23
8
The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
field: 13023009
13
23
9
The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
field: 13023010
13
23
10
And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
field: 13023011
13
23
11
And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father's house.
field: 13023012
13
23
12
The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
field: 13023013
13
23
13
The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.
field: 13023014
13
23
14
Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
field: 13023015
13
23
15
The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.
field: 13023016
13
23
16
Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.
field: 13023017
13
23
17
And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
field: 13023018
13
23
18
Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.
field: 13023019
13
23
19
Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
field: 13023020
13
23
20
Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first and Jesiah the second.
field: 13023021
13
23
21
The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.
field: 13023022
13
23
22
And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
field: 13023023
13
23
23
The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
field: 13023024
13
23
24
These were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward.
field: 13023025
13
23
25
For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:
field: 13023026
13
23
26
And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.
field: 13023027
13
23
27
For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:
field: 13023028
13
23
28
Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;
field: 13023029
13
23
29
Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;
field: 13023030
13
23
30
And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even:
field: 13023031
13
23
31
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:
field: 13023032
13
23
32
And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD.
field: 13024001
13
24
1
Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
field: 13024002
13
24
2
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.
field: 13024003
13
24
3
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.
field: 13024004
13
24
4
And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar, and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers.
field: 13024005
13
24
5
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.
field: 13024006
13
24
6
And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech 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.
field: 13024007
13
24
7
Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
field: 13024008
13
24
8
The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
field: 13024009
13
24
9
The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,
field: 13024010
13
24
10
The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,
field: 13024011
13
24
11
The ninth to Jeshuah, the tenth to Shecaniah,
field: 13024012
13
24
12
The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
field: 13024013
13
24
13
The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,
field: 13024014
13
24
14
The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
field: 13024015
13
24
15
The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses,
field: 13024016
13
24
16
The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,
field: 13024017
13
24
17
The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul,
field: 13024018
13
24
18
The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah.
field: 13024019
13
24
19
These were the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD, according to their manner, under Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.
field: 13024020
13
24
20
And the rest of the sons of Levi were these: Of the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah.
field: 13024021
13
24
21
Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah.
field: 13024022
13
24
22
Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath.
field: 13024023
13
24
23
And the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
field: 13024024
13
24
24
Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah: of the sons of Michah; Shamir.
field: 13024025
13
24
25
The brother of Michah was Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah; Zechariah.
field: 13024026
13
24
26
The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno.
field: 13024027
13
24
27
The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.
field: 13024028
13
24
28
Of Mahli came Eleazar, who had no sons.
field: 13024029
13
24
29
Concerning Kish: the son of Kish was Jerahmeel.
field: 13024030
13
24
30
The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers.
field: 13024031
13
24
31
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.
field: 13025001
13

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:
field: 13025002
13
25
2
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.

field: 13027023
13
27

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.
field: 13027024
13
27
24
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.

field: 13028002
13
28
2
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:
field: 13028003
13
28
3
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.
field: 13028004
13
28
4
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:
field: 13028005
13
28
5
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.
field: 13028006
13
28
6
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.
field: 13028007
13
28
7
Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.
field: 13028008
13
28
8
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.
field: 13028009
13
28
9
And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing 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.
field: 13028010
13
28
10
Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.
field: 13028011
13
28
11
Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlors thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat,
field: 13028012
13
28
12
And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things:
field: 13028013
13
28
13
Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD.
field: 13028014
13
28
14
He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; silver also for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service:
field: 13028015
13
28
15
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.
field: 13028016
13
28
16
And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread, for every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver:
field: 13028017
13
28
17
Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basins he gave gold by weight for every basin; and likewise silver by weight for every basin of silver:
field: 13028018
13
28
18
And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubim, that spread out their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
field: 13028019
13
28
19
All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern.
field: 13028020
13
28
20
And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, 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.
field: 13028021
13
28
21
And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skillful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment.
field: 13029001
13
29
1
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.
field: 13029002
13
29
2
Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colors, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
field: 13029003
13
29
3
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.
field: 13029004
13
29
4
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:
field: 13029005
13
29
5
The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD?
field: 13029006
13
29
6
Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work, offered willingly,
field: 13029007
13
29
7
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.
field: 13029008
13
29
8
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.
field: 13029009
13
29
9
Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.
field: 13029010
13
29
10
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.
field: 13029011
13
29
11
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.
field: 13029012
13
29
12
Both riches and honor come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.
field: 13029013
13
29
13
Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.
field: 13029014

14
But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.
field: 13029015
13
29
15
For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.
field: 13029016
13
29
16
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.
field: 13029017
13
29
17
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.
field: 13029018
13
29
18
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:
field: 13029019
13
29
19
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.
field: 13029020
13
29
20
And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king.
field: 13029021
13
29
21
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:
field: 13029022
13
29
22
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.
field: 13029023
13
29
23
Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
field: 13029024
13
29
24
And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king.
field: 13029025
13
29
25
And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
field: 13029026
13
29
26
Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
field: 13029027
13
29
27
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.
field: 13029028
13
29
28
And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
field: 13029029
13
29
29
Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,
field: 13029030
13
29
30
With all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
field: 14001001
14

1
And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
field: 14001002
14
1
2
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.
field: 14001003
14
1
3
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.
field: 14001004
14
1
4
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.
field: 14001005
14
1
5
Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.
field: 14001006
14
1
6
And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
field: 14001007
14
1
7
In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
field: 14001008
14
1
8
And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast showed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
field: 14001009
14
1
9
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.
field: 14001010
14
1
10
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?
field: 14001011
14
1
11
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
field: 14001012
14
1
12
Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.
field: 14001013
14
1
13
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.
field: 14001014
14
1
14
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.
field: 14001015
14
1
15
And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycamore trees that are in the vale for abundance.
field: 14001016
14
1
16
And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
field: 14001017
14
1
17
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.
field: 14002001
14
2
1
And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.
field: 14002002
14
2
2
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.
field: 14002003
14
2
3
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.
field: 14002004
14
2
4
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.
field: 14002005
14
2
5
And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods.
field: 14002006
14
2
6
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?
field: 14002007
14
2
7
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.
field: 14002008
14
2
8
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,
field: 14002009
14
2
9
Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great.
field: 14002010
14
2
10
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.
field: 14002011
14
2
11
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.
field: 14002012
14
2
12
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.
field: 14002013
14
2
13
And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father's,
field: 14002014
14
2
14
The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skillful 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.
field: 14002015
14
2
15
Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants:
field: 14002016
14
2
16
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.
field: 14002017
14
2
17
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.
field: 14002018
14
2
18
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.
field: 14003001
14
3
1
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.
field: 14003002
14
3
2
And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
field: 14003003
14
3
3
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.
field: 14003004
14
3
4
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.
field: 14003005
14
3
5
And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.
field: 14003006
14
3
6
And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.
field: 14003007
14
3
7
He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubim on the walls.
field: 14003008
14
3
8
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.
field: 14003009
14
3
9
And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.
field: 14003010
14
3
10
And in the most holy house he made two cherubim of image work, and overlaid them with gold.
field: 14003011
14
3
11
And the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.
field: 14003012
14
3
12
And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub.
field: 14003013
14
3
13
The wings of these cherubim spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.
field: 14003014
14
3
14
And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubim thereon.
field: 14003015
14
3
15
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.
field: 14003016
14
3
16
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.
field: 14003017
14
3
17
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.
field: 14004001
14
4
1
Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof.
field: 14004002
14
4
2
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.
field: 14004003
14
4
3
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.
field: 14004004
14
4
4
It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
field: 14004005
14
4
5
And the thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; and it received and held three thousand baths.
field: 14004006
14
4
6
He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
field: 14004007
14
4
7
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.
field: 14004008
14
4
8
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 basins of gold.
field: 14004009
14
4
9
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.
field: 14004010
14
4
10
And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south.
field: 14004011
14
4
11
And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God;
field: 14004012
14
4
12
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;
field: 14004013
14
4
13
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.
field: 14004014
14
4
14
He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases;
field: 14004015
14
4
15
One sea, and twelve oxen under it.
field: 14004016
14
4
16
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.
field: 14004017
14
4
17
In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.
field: 14004018
14
4
18
Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.
field: 14004019
14
4
19
And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon the shewbread was set;
field: 14004020
14
4
20
Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold;
field: 14004021
14
4
21
And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect gold;
field: 14004022
14
4
22
And the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.
field: 14005001
14
5
1
Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God.
field: 14005002
14
5
2
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
field: 14005003
14
5
3
Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month.
field: 14005004
14
5
4
And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.
field: 14005005
14
5
5
And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up.
field: 14005006
14
5
6
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.
field: 14005007
14
5
7
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim:
field: 14005008
14
5
8
For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
field: 14005009
14
5
9
And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day.
field: 14005010
14
5
10
There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
field: 14005011
14
5
11
And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course:
field: 14005012
14
5
12
Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:)
field: 14005013
14
5
13
It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;
field: 14005014
14
5
14
So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.
field: 14006001
14
6
1
Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
field: 14006002
14
6
2
But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.
field: 14006003
14
6
3
And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.
field: 14006004
14
6
4
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying,
field: 14006005
14
6
5
Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:
field: 14006006
14
6
6
But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
field: 14006007
14
6
7
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
field: 14006008
14
6
8
But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:
field: 14006009
14
6
9
Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
field: 14006010
14
6
10
The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
field: 14006011
14
6
11
And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.
field: 14006012
14
6
12
And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:
field: 14006013
14
6
13
For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.
field: 14006014
14
6
14
And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and showest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:
field: 14006015
14
6
15
Thou which hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him; and spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.
field: 14006016
14
6
16
Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.
field: 14006017
14
6
17
Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.
field: 14006018
14
6
18
But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!
field: 14006019
14
6
19
Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:

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.
field: 14006021
14

21
Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.
field: 14006022

22
If a man sin against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;
field: 14006023
14
6
23
Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.
field: 14006024
14
6
24
And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house;
field: 14006025
14
6
25
Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.
field: 14006026
14
6
26
When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them;
field: 14006027
14
6
27
Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance.
field: 14006028
14

28
If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be:
field: 14006029
14
6
29
Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:
field: 14006030
14
6
30
Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:)
field: 14006031
14
6
31
That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
field: 14006032
14

32
Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house;
field: 14006033
14
6
33
Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
field: 14006034
14
6
34
If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;
field: 14006035
14
6
35
Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
field: 14006036
14
6
36
If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near;
field: 14006037
14
6
37
Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;
field: 14006038
14
6
38
If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name:
field: 14006039
14
6
39
Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee.
field: 14006040

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.
field: 14006041
14
6
41
Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.
field: 14006042

O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.

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.
field: 14007002
14
7
2
And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD's house.
field: 14007003
14
7
3
And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
field: 14007004
14
7
4
Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
field: 14007005
14
7
5
And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
field: 14007006
14
7
6
And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.
field: 14007007
14
7
7
Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat.
field: 14007008
14
7
8
Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt.
field: 14007009
14
7
9
And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
field: 14007010
14
7
10
And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had showed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
field: 14007011
14
7
11
Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king's house: and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.
field: 14007012
14
7
12
And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.
field: 14007013
14
7
13
If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
field: 14007014
14
7
14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
field: 14007015
14
7
15
Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
field: 14007016
14
7
16
For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
field: 14007017
14
7
17
And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments;
field: 14007018
14
7
18
Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.
field: 14007019
14
7
19
But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;
field: 14007020
14
7
20
Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.
field: 14007021
14
7
21
And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house?
field: 14007022
14
7
22
And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.
field: 14008001
14

1
And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house,
field: 14008002
14
8
2
That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
field: 14008003
14
8
3
And Solomon went to Hamathzobah, and prevailed against it.
field: 14008004
14
8
4
And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath.
field: 14008005
14
8
5
Also he built Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
field: 14008006
14
8
6
And Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion.
field: 14008007
14
8
7
As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel,
field: 14008008
14
8
8
But of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day.
field: 14008009
14
8
9
But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots and horsemen.
field: 14008010
14
8
10
And these were the chief of king Solomon's officers, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people.
field: 14008011
14
8
11
And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of the LORD hath come.
field: 14008012
14
8
12
Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,
field: 14008013
14
8
13
Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.
field: 14008014
14
8
14
And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.
field: 14008015
14
8
15
And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.
field: 14008016
14
8
16
Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.
field: 14008017
14
8
17
Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom.
field: 14008018
14
8
18
And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
field: 14009001
14
9
1
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels that bare spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
field: 14009002
14
9
2
And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not.
field: 14009003
14
9
3
And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
field: 14009004
14
9
4
And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his cupbearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
field: 14009005
14
9
5
And she said to the king, It was a true report which I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom:
field: 14009006
14
9
6
Howbeit I believed not their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the one half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: for thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
field: 14009007
14
9
7
Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
field: 14009008
14
9
8
Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee to set thee on his throne, to be king for the LORD thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made he thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
field: 14009009
14
9
9
And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave king Solomon.
field: 14009010
14
9
10
And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
field: 14009011
14
9
11
And the king made of the algum trees terraces to the house of the LORD, and to the king's palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.
field: 14009012
14
9
12
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she and her servants.
field: 14009013
14
9
13
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;
field: 14009014
14
9
14
Beside that which chapmen and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
field: 14009015
14
9
15
And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one target.
field: 14009016
14
9
16
And three hundred shields made he of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
field: 14009017
14
9
17
Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
field: 14009018
14
9
18
And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays:
field: 14009019
14
9
19
And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in any kingdom.
field: 14009020
14
9
20
And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: none were of silver; it was not any thing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
field: 14009021
14
9
21
For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: every three years once came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
field: 14009022
14
9
22
And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
field: 14009023
14
9
23
And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart.
field: 14009024
14
9
24
And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
field: 14009025
14
9
25
And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
field: 14009026
14
9
26
And he reigned over all the kings from the river even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
field: 14009027
14
9
27
And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycamore trees that are in the low plains in abundance.
field: 14009028
14
9
28
And they brought unto Solomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all lands.
field: 14009029
14
9
29
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
field: 14009030
14
9
30
And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
field: 14009031
14
9
31
And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
field: 14010001
14
10
1
And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king.
field: 14010002
14
10
2
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.
field: 14010003
14
10
3
And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spake to Rehoboam, saying,
field: 14010004
14
10
4
Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
field: 14010005
14
10
5
And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed.
field: 14010006
14
10
6
And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?
field: 14010007
14
10
7
And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
field: 14010008
14
10
8
But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.
field: 14010009
14
10
9
And he said unto them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father did put upon us?
field: 14010010
14
10
10
And the young men that were brought up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.
field: 14010011
14
10
11
For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
field: 14010012
14
10
12
So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day.
field: 14010013
14
10
13
And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
field: 14010014
14
10
14
And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
field: 14010015
14
10
15
So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
field: 14010016
14
10
16
And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to thine own house. So all Israel went to their tents.
field: 14010017
14
10
17
But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
field: 14010018
14
10
18
Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
field: 14010019
14
10
19
And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
field: 14011001
14
11
1
And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
field: 14011002
14
11
2
But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
field: 14011003
14
11
3
Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
field: 14011004
14
11
4
Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done of me. And they obeyed the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
field: 14011005
14
11
5
And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.
field: 14011006
14
11
6
He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
field: 14011007
14
11
7
And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
field: 14011008
14
11
8
And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
field: 14011009
14
11
9
And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
field: 14011010
14
11
10
And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities.
field: 14011011
14
11
11
And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine.
field: 14011012
14
11
12
And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.
field: 14011013
14
11
13
And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts.
field: 14011014
14
11
14
For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest's office unto the LORD:
field: 14011015
14
11
15
And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.
field: 14011016
14
11
16
And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the LORD God of their fathers.
field: 14011017
14
11
17
So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.
field: 14011018
14
11
18
And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
field: 14011019
14
11
19
Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.
field: 14011020
14
11
20
And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
field: 14011021
14
11
21
And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore daughters.)
field: 14011022
14
11
22
And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king.
field: 14011023
14
11
23
And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives.
field: 14012001
14
12
1
And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.
field: 14012002
14
12
2
And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,
field: 14012003
14
12
3
With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.
field: 14012004
14
12
4
And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
field: 14012005
14
12
5
Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.
field: 14012006
14
12
6
Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous.
field: 14012007
14
12
7
And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
field: 14012008
14
12
8
Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
field: 14012009
14
12
9
So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
field: 14012010
14
12
10
Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house.
field: 14012011
14
12
11
And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber.
field: 14012012
14
12
12
And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.
field: 14012013
14
12
13
So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
field: 14012014
14
12
14
And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.
field: 14012015
14
12
15
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
field: 14012016
14
12
16
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
field: 14013001
14
13
1
Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
field: 14013002
14
13
2
He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
field: 14013003
14
13
3
And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valor.
field: 14013004
14
13
4
And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel;
field: 14013005
14
13
5
Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
field: 14013006
14
13
6
Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord.
field: 14013007
14
13
7
And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them.
field: 14013008
14
13
8
And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with your golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.
field: 14013009
14
13
9
Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods.
field: 14013010
14
13
10
But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business:
field: 14013011
14
13
11
And they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken him.
field: 14013012
14
13
12
And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.
field: 14013013
14
13
13
But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.
field: 14013014
14
13
14
And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
field: 14013015
14
13
15
Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
field: 14013016
14
13
16
And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand.
field: 14013017
14
13
17
And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
field: 14013018
14
13
18
Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers.
field: 14013019
14
13
19
And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephraim with the towns thereof.
field: 14013020
14
13
20
Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died.
field: 14013021
14
13
21
But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.
field: 14013022
14
13
22
And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.
field: 14014001
14
14
1
So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years.
field: 14014002
14
14
2
And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God:
field: 14014003
14
14
3
For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves:
field: 14014004
14
14
4
And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
field: 14014005
14
14
5
Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.
field: 14014006
14
14
6
And he built fenced cities in Judah: for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest.
field: 14014007
14
14
7
Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us; because we have sought the LORD our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.
field: 14014008
14
14
8
And Asa had an army of men that bare targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these were mighty men of valor.
field: 14014009
14
14
9
And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came unto Mareshah.
field: 14014010
14
14
10
Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
field: 14014011
14
14
11
And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let no man prevail against thee.
field: 14014012
14
14
12
So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
field: 14014013
14
14
13
And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.
field: 14014014
14
14
14
And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them.
field: 14014015
14
14
15
They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
field: 14015001
14
15
1
And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:
field: 14015002
14
15
2
And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.
field: 14015003
14
15
3
Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
field: 14015004
14
15
4
But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.
field: 14015005
14
15
5
And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries.
field: 14015006
14
15
6
And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.
field: 14015007
14
15
7
Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.
field: 14015008
14
15
8
And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.
field: 14015009
14
15
9
And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
field: 14015010
14
15
10
So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
field: 14015011
14
15
11
And they offered unto the LORD the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
field: 14015012
14
15
12
And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
field: 14015013
14
15
13
That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
field: 14015014
14
15
14
And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
field: 14015015
14
15
15
And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about.
field: 14015016
14
15
16
And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
field: 14015017
14
15
17
But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
field: 14015018
14
15
18
And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
field: 14015019
14
15
19
And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
field: 14016001
14
16
1
In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
field: 14016002
14
16
2
Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Benhadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
field: 14016003
14
16
3
There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
field: 14016004
14
16
4
And Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.
field: 14016005
14
16
5
And it came to pass, when Baasha heard it, that he left off building of Ramah, and let his work cease.
field: 14016006
14
16
6
Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha was building; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
field: 14016007
14
16
7
And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand.
field: 14016008
14
16
8
Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thine hand.
field: 14016009
14
16
9
For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
field: 14016010
14
16
10
Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.
field: 14016011
14
16
11
And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
field: 14016012
14
16
12
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.
field: 14016013
14
16
13
And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
field: 14016014
14
16
14
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 odorous and divers kinds of spices prepared by the apothecaries' art: and they made a very great burning for him.
field: 14017001
14
17
1
And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
field: 14017002
14
17
2
And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
field: 14017003
14
17
3
And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;
field: 14017004
14
17
4
But sought to the Lord God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
field: 14017005
14
17
5
Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honor in abundance.
field: 14017006
14
17
6
And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.
field: 14017007
14
17
7
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.
field: 14017008
14
17
8
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.
field: 14017009
14
17
9
And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.
field: 14017010
14
17
10
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.
field: 14017011
14
17
11
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.
field: 14017012
14
17
12
And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store.
field: 14017013
14
17
13
And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valor, were in Jerusalem.
field: 14017014
14
17
14
And these are the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers: Of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the chief, and with him mighty men of valor three hundred thousand.
field: 14017015
14
17
15
And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand.
field: 14017016
14
17
16
And next him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
field: 14017017
14
17
17
And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valor, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
field: 14017018
14
17
18
And next him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war.
field: 14017019
14
17
19
These waited on the king, beside those whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.
field: 14018001
14
18
1
Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab.
field: 14018002
14
18
2
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.
field: 14018003
14
18
3
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.
field: 14018004
14
18
4
And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.
field: 14018005
14
18
5
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.
field: 14018006
14
18
6
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?
field: 14018007
14
18
7
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
field: 14018008
14
18
8
And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.
field: 14018009
14
18
9
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.
field: 14018010
14
18
10
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.
field: 14018011
14

11
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.
field: 14018012
14
18
12
And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good.
field: 14018013
14
18
13
And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak.
field: 14018014
14
18
14
And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.
field: 14018015
14
18
15
And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD?
field: 14018016
14
18
16
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.
field: 14018017
14
18
17
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?
field: 14018018
14
18
18
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.
field: 14018019
14
18
19
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.
field: 14018020
14
18
20
Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith?
field: 14018021
14
18
21
And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so.
field: 14018022
14
18
22
Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee.
field: 14018023
14
18
23
Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?
field: 14018024
14
18
24
And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
field: 14018025
14
18
25
Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
field: 14018026
14
18
26
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.
field: 14018027
14
18
27
And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace, then hath not the LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people.
field: 14018028
14
18
28
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead.
field: 14018029
14
18
29
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.
field: 14018030
14
18
30
Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.
field: 14018031
14
18
31
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.
field: 14018032
14
18
32
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.
field: 14018033
14
18
33
And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.
field: 14018034
14
18
34
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.
field: 14019001
14
19
1
And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.
field: 14019002
14
19
2
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.
field: 14019003
14
19
3
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.
field: 14019004
14
19
4
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.
field: 14019005
14
19
5
And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city,
field: 14019006
14
19
6
And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment.
field: 14019007
14
19
7
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.
field: 14019008
14
19
8
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.
field: 14019009
14
19
9
And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
field: 14019010
14
19
10
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.
field: 14019011
14
19
11
And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king's matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and the LORD shall be with the good.
field: 14020001
14
20
1
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.
field: 14020002
14
20
2
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.
field: 14020003
14
20
3
And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
field: 14020004
14
20
4
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.
field: 14020005
14
20
5
And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court,
field: 14020006
14
20
6
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?
field: 14020007
14
20
7
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?
field: 14020008
14
20
8
And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,
field: 14020009
14
20
9
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.
field: 14020010
14
20
10
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;
field: 14020011
14
20
11
Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.
field: 14020012
14
20
12
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.
field: 14020013
14
20
13
And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
field: 14020014
14
20
14
Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the LORD in the midst of the congregation;
field: 14020015
14
20
15
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.
field: 14020016
14
20
16
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.
field: 14020017
14
20
17
Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.
field: 14020018
14
20
18
And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD.
field: 14020019
14
20
19
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.
field: 14020020
14
20
20
And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, 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.
field: 14020021
14
20
21
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.
field: 14020022
14
20
22
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.
field: 14020023
14
20
23
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.
field: 14020024
14
20
24
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.
field: 14020025
14
20
25
And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the 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.
field: 14020026
14
20
26
And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.
field: 14020027
14
20
27
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.
field: 14020028
14
20
28
And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD.
field: 14020029
14
20
29
And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.
field: 14020030
14
20
30
So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.
field: 14020031
14
20
31
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.
field: 14020032
14
20
32
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.
field: 14020033
14
20
33
Howbeit the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers.
field: 14020034
14
20
34
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.
field: 14020035
14
20
35
And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:
field: 14020036
14
20
36
And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Eziongaber.
field: 14020037
14
20
37
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.
field: 14021001
14
21
1
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.
field: 14021002
14
21
2
And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah: all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
field: 14021003
14
21
3
And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fenced cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram; because he was the firstborn.
field: 14021004
14
21
4
Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren with the sword, and divers also of the princes of Israel.
field: 14021005
14
21
5
Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
field: 14021006
14
21
6
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD.
field: 14021007
14
21
7
Howbeit the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a light to him and to his sons for ever.
field: 14021008
14
21
8
In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king.
field: 14021009
14
21
9
Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him in, and the captains of the chariots.
field: 14021010
14
21
10
So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.
field: 14021011
14
21
11
Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah thereto.
field: 14021012
14
21
12
And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
field: 14021013
14
21
13
But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house, which were better than thyself:
field: 14021014
14
21
14
Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods:
field: 14021015
14
21
15
And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.
field: 14021016
14
21
16
Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians:
field: 14021017
14
21
17
And they came up into Judah, and brake into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
field: 14021018
14
21
18
And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
field: 14021019
14
21
19
And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
field: 14021020
14
21
20
Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being desired. Howbeit they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
field: 14022001
14
22
1
And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead: for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
field: 14022002
14
22
2
Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
field: 14022003
14
22
3
He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counselor to do wickedly.
field: 14022004
14
22
4
Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab: for they were his counselors after the death of his father to his destruction.
field: 14022005
14
22
5
He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramothgilead: and the Syrians smote Joram.
field: 14022006
14
22
6
And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds which were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab at Jezreel, because he was sick.
field: 14022007
14
22
7
And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
field: 14022008
14
22
8
And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew them.
field: 14022009
14
22
9
And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him: Because, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.
field: 14022010
14
22
10
But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.
field: 14022011
14
22
11
But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.
field: 14022012
14
22
12
And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.
field: 14023001
14
23
1
And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.
field: 14023002
14
23
2
And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
field: 14023003
14
23
3
And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.
field: 14023004
14
23
4
This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors;
field: 14023005
14
23
5
And a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD.
field: 14023006
14
23
6
But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.
field: 14023007
14
23
7
And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.
field: 14023008
14
23
8
So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.
field: 14023009
14
23
9
Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in the house of God.
field: 14023010
14
23
10
And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.
field: 14023011
14
23
11
Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.
field: 14023012
14
23
12
Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:
field: 14023013
14
23

And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of music, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.

Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD.
field: 14023015
14
23
15
So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there.
field: 14023016
14
23
16
And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD's people.
field: 14023017
14
23
17
Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
field: 14023018
14
23
18
Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.
field: 14023019
14
23
19
And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in.
field: 14023020
14
23
20
And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they came through the high gate into the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
field: 14023021
14
23
21
And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.

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.
field: 14024002
14
24
2
And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
field: 14024003
14
24
3
And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.
field: 14024004
14
24
4
And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD.
field: 14024005
14
24
5
And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.
field: 14024006
14
24
6
And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?
field: 14024007
14
24
7
For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD did they bestow upon Baalim.
field: 14024008
14
24
8
And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.
field: 14024009
14
24
9
And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the LORD the collection that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness.
field: 14024010
14
24
10
And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
field: 14024011
14
24
11
Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
field: 14024012
14
24
12
And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the LORD.
field: 14024013
14
24
13
So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it.
field: 14024014
14
24
14
And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.
field: 14024015
14
24
15
But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.
field: 14024016
14
24
16
And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house.
field: 14024017
14
24
17
Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.
field: 14024018
14
24
18
And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.
field: 14024019
14
24
19
Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
field: 14024020
14
24
20
And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you.
field: 14024021
14
24
21
And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD.
field: 14024022
14
24
22
Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD look upon it, and require it.
field: 14024023
14
24
23
And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the host of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus.
field: 14024024
14
24
24
For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash.
field: 14024025
14
24
25
And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases,) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.
field: 14024026
14
24
26
And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.
field: 14024027
14
24
27
Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
field: 14025001
14
25
1
Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
field: 14025002
14
25
2
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.
field: 14025003
14
25
3
Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.
field: 14025004
14
25
4
But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
field: 14025005
14
25
5
Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield.
field: 14025006
14
25
6
He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.
field: 14025007
14
25
7
But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD is not with Israel, to wit, with all the children of Ephraim.
field: 14025008
14
25
8
But if thou wilt go, do it; be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down.
field: 14025009
14
25
9
And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The LORD is able to give thee much more than this.
field: 14025010
14
25
10
Then Amaziah separated them, to wit, the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.
field: 14025011
14
25
11
And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand.
field: 14025012
14
25
12
And other ten thousand left alive did the children of Judah carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces.
field: 14025013
14
25
13
But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Bethhoron, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.
field: 14025014
14
25
14
Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.
field: 14025015
14
25
15
Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?
field: 14025016
14
25
16
And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.
field: 14025017
14
25
17
Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face.
field: 14025018
14
25
18
And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
field: 14025019
14
25
19
Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
field: 14025020
14
25
20
But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom.
field: 14025021
14
25
21
So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
field: 14025022
14
25
22
And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.
field: 14025023
14
25
23
And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
field: 14025024
14
25
24
And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obededom, and the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
field: 14025025
14
25
25
And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
field: 14025026
14
25
26
Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
field: 14025027
14
25
27
Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there.
field: 14025028
14
25
28
And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
field: 14026001
14
26
1
Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
field: 14026002
14
26
2
He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.
field: 14026003
14
26
3
Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
field: 14026004
14
26
4
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did.
field: 14026005
14
26
5
And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.
field: 14026006
14
26
6
And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
field: 14026007
14
26
7
And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gurbaal, and the Mehunims.
field: 14026008
14
26
8
And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly.
field: 14026009
14
26
9
Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.
field: 14026010
14
26
10
Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had much cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen also, and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry.
field: 14026011
14
26
11
Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains.
field: 14026012
14
26
12
The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valor were two thousand and six hundred.
field: 14026013
14
26
13
And under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.
field: 14026014
14
26
14
And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones.
field: 14026015
14
26
15
And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvelously helped, till he was strong.
field: 14026016
14
26
16
But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
field: 14026017
14
26
17
And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the LORD, that were valiant men:
field: 14026018
14
26
18
And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honor from the LORD God.
field: 14026019
14
26
19
Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar.
field: 14026020
14
26
20
And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him.
field: 14026021
14
26
21
And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land.
field: 14026022
14
26
22
Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write.
field: 14026023
14
26
23
So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
field: 14027001
14
27
1
Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.
field: 14027002
14
27
2
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.
field: 14027003
14
27
3
He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
field: 14027004
14
27
4
Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
field: 14027005
14
27
5
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.
field: 14027006
14
27
6
So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.
field: 14027007
14
27
7
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.
field: 14027008
14
27
8
He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
field: 14027009
14
27
9
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
field: 14028001
14
28
1
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:
field: 14028002
14
28
2
For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim.
field: 14028003
14
28
3
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.
field: 14028004
14
28
4
He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
field: 14028005
14
28
5
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.
field: 14028006
14
28
6
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.
field: 14028007
14
28
7
And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah that was next to the king.
field: 14028008
14
28
8
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.
field: 14028009
14
28
9
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.
field: 14028010
14
28
10
And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you: but are there not with you, even with you, sins against the LORD your God?
field: 14028011
14
28
11
Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives again, which ye have taken captive of your brethren: for the fierce wrath of the LORD is upon you.
field: 14028012
14
28
12
Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war,
field: 14028013
14
28
13
And said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for whereas we have offended against the LORD already, ye intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass: for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.
field: 14028014
14
28
14
So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation.
field: 14028015
14
28
15
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.
field: 14028016
14
28
16
At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him.
field: 14028017
14
28
17
For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives.
field: 14028018
14
28
18
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.
field: 14028019
14
28
19
For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the LORD.
field: 14028020
14
28
20
And Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.

For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the LORD, and out of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of Assyria: but he helped him not.
field: 14028022
14
28
22
And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the LORD: this is that king Ahaz.
field: 14028023
14
28
23
For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
field: 14028024
14
28
24
And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD, and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
field: 14028025
14
28
25
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.
field: 14028026
14
28
26
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.
field: 14028027
14
28
27
And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
field: 14029001
14
29
1
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.
field: 14029002
14
29
2
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.
field: 14029003
14
29
3
He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them.
field: 14029004
14
29
4
And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the east street,
field: 14029005
14
29
5
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.
field: 14029006
14
29
6
For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.
field: 14029007
14
29
7
Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel.
field: 14029008
14
29
8
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.
field: 14029009
14
29
9
For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
field: 14029010
14
29
10
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.
field: 14029011
14
29
11
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.
field: 14029012
14
29
12
Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites: and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah:
field: 14029013
14
29
13
And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah:
field: 14029014
14
29
14
And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel.
field: 14029015
14
29
15
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.
field: 14029016
14
29
16
And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.
field: 14029017
14
29
17
Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the LORD: so they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
field: 14029018
14
29
18
Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof.
field: 14029019
14
29
19
Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of the LORD.
field: 14029020
14
29
20
Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.
field: 14029021
14
29
21
And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the LORD.
field: 14029022
14
29
22
So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.
field: 14029023
14
29
23
And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:
field: 14029024
14
29
24
And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
field: 14029025
14
29
25
And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the LORD by his prophets.
field: 14029026
14
29
26
And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
field: 14029027
14
29
27
And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel.
field: 14029028
14
29
28
And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.
field: 14029029
14
29
29
And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped.
field: 14029030
14
29
30
Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.
field: 14029031
14
29
31
Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings.
field: 14029032
14
29
32
And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.
field: 14029033
14
29
33
And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
field: 14029034
14
29
34
But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
field: 14029035
14
29
35
And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order.
field: 14029036
14
29
36
And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
field: 14030001
14
30
1
And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel.
field: 14030002
14
30
2
For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.
field: 14030003
14
30
3
For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
field: 14030004
14
30
4
And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
field: 14030005
14
30
5
So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written.
field: 14030006
14
30
6
So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
field: 14030007
14
30
7
And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
field: 14030008
14
30
8
Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
field: 14030009
14
30
9
For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.
field: 14030010
14
30
10
So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
field: 14030011
14
30
11
Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
field: 14030012
14
30
12
Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.
field: 14030013
14
30
13
And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
field: 14030014
14
30
14
And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.
field: 14030015
14
30
15
Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.
field: 14030016
14
30
16
And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.
field: 14030017
14
30
17
For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the LORD.
field: 14030018
14
30
18
For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one
field: 14030019
14
30
19
That prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.
field: 14030020
14
30
20
And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
field: 14030021
14
30
21
And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the LORD.
field: 14030022
14
30
22
And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.
field: 14030023
14
30
23
And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness.
field: 14030024
14
30
24
For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
field: 14030025
14
30
25
And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
field: 14030026
14
30
26
So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.
field: 14030027
14
30
27
Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven.
field: 14031001
14
31
1
Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
field: 14031002
14
31
2
And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the tents of the LORD.
field: 14031003
14
31
3
He appointed also the king's portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, to wit, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of the LORD.
field: 14031004
14
31
4
Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of the LORD.
field: 14031005
14
31
5
And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly.
field: 14031006
14
31
6
And concerning the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated unto the LORD their God, and laid them by heaps.
field: 14031007
14
31
7
In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
field: 14031008
14
31
8
And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Israel.
field: 14031009
14
31
9
Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
field: 14031010
14
31
10
And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for the LORD hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.
field: 14031011
14
31
11
Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them,
field: 14031012
14
31
12
And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next.
field: 14031013
14
31
13
And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
field: 14031014
14
31
14
And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter toward the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the LORD, and the most holy things.
field: 14031015
14
31
15
And next him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:
field: 14031016
14
31
16
Beside their genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even unto every one that entereth into the house of the LORD, his daily portion for their service in their charges according to their courses;
field: 14031017
14
31
17
Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses;
field: 14031018
14
31
18
And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness:
field: 14031019
14
31
19
Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city, the men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies among the Levites.
field: 14031020
14
31
20
And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the LORD his God.
field: 14031021
14
31
21
And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
field: 14032001
14
32
1
After these things, and the establishment thereof, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced cities, and thought to win them for himself.
field: 14032002
14
32
2
And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem,
field: 14032003
14
32
3
He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city: and they did help him.
field: 14032004
14
32
4
So there was gathered much people together, who stopped all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?
field: 14032005
14
32
5
Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo in the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance.
field: 14032006
14
32
6
And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying,
field: 14032007
14
32
7
Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him:
field: 14032008
14
32
8
With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
field: 14032009
14
32
9
After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, (but he himself laid siege against Lachish, and all his power with him,) unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,
field: 14032010
14
32
10
Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem?
field: 14032011
14
32
11
Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, The LORD our God shall deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
field: 14032012
14
32
12
Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it?
field: 14032013
14
32
13
Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the people of other lands? were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of mine hand?
field: 14032014
14
32
14
Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand?
field: 14032015
14
32
15
Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand?
field: 14032016
14
32
16
And his servants spake yet more against the LORD God, and against his servant Hezekiah.
field: 14032017
14
32
17
He wrote also letters to rail on the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand.
field: 14032018
14
32
18
Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' speech unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city.
field: 14032019
14
32
19
And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, which were the work of the hands of man.
field: 14032020
14
32
20
And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.
field: 14032021
14
32
21
And the LORD sent an angel, which cut off all the mighty men of valor, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of 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.
field: 14032022
14
32
22
Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all other, and guided them on every side.
field: 14032023
14
32
23
And many brought gifts unto the LORD to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah: so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.
field: 14032024
14
32
24
In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the LORD: and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign.
field: 14032025
14
32
25
But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.
field: 14032026
14
32
26
Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.
field: 14032027
14

And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honor: and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant jewels;
field: 14032028
14
32
28
Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks.
field: 14032029
14
32
29
Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him substance very much.
field: 14032030
14
32
30
This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
field: 14032031
14
32
31
Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.
field: 14032032
14
32
32
Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
field: 14032033
14
32
33
And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
field: 14033001
14
33
1
Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:
field: 14033002
14
33
2
But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.
field: 14033003
14
33
3
For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
field: 14033004
14
33
4
Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
field: 14033005
14
33
5
And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
field: 14033006
14
33
6
And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
field: 14033007
14
33
7
And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
field: 14033008
14
33
8
Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.
field: 14033009
14
33
9
So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.
field: 14033010
14
33
10
And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.
field: 14033011
14
33
11
Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
field: 14033012
14
33
12
And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
field: 14033013
14
33
13
And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God.
field: 14033014
14
33
14
Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.
field: 14033015
14
33
15
And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
field: 14033016
14
33
16
And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.
field: 14033017
14
33
17
Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the LORD their God only.
field: 14033018
14
33
18
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.
field: 14033019
14
33
19
His prayer also, and how God was intreated of him, and all his sins, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.
field: 14033020
14
33
20
So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
field: 14033021
14
33
21
Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.
field: 14033022
14
33
22
But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;
field: 14033023
14
33
23
And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.
field: 14033024
14
33
24
And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
field: 14033025
14
33
25
But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
field: 14034001
14
34
1
Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.
field: 14034002
14
34
2
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
field: 14034003
14
34
3
For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images.
field: 14034004
14
34
4
And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his presence; and the images, that were on high above them, he cut down; and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dust of them, and strewed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them.
field: 14034005
14
34
5
And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
field: 14034006
14
34
6
And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks round about.
field: 14034007
14
34
7
And when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.
field: 14034008
14
34
8
Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land, and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.
field: 14034009
14
34
9
And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem.
field: 14034010
14
34
10
And they put it in the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of the LORD, and they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the house of the LORD, to repair and amend the house:
field: 14034011
14
34
11
Even to the artificers and builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.
field: 14034012
14
34
12
And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and other of the Levites, all that could skill of instruments of music.
field: 14034013
14
34
13
Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and were overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.
field: 14034014
14
34
14
And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found a book of the law of the LORD given by Moses.
field: 14034015
14
34
15
And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.
field: 14034016
14
34
16
And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king word back again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they do it.
field: 14034017
14
34
17
And they have gathered together the money that was found in the house of the LORD, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and to the hand of the workmen.
field: 14034018
14
34
18
Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
field: 14034019
14
34
19
And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes.
field: 14034020
14
34
20
And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king's, saying,
field: 14034021
14
34
21
Go, enquire of the LORD for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do after all that is written in this book.
field: 14034022
14
34
22
And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spake to her to that effect.
field: 14034023
14
34
23
And she answered them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me,
field: 14034024
14
34
24
Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah:
field: 14034025
14
34
25
Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched.
field: 14034026
14
34
26
And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to enquire of the LORD, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel concerning the words which thou hast heard;
field: 14034027
14
34
27
Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the LORD.
field: 14034028
14
34
28
Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word again.
field: 14034029
14
34
29
Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
field: 14034030
14
34
30
And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the LORD.
field: 14034031
14
34
31
And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant which are written in this book.
field: 14034032
14
34
32
And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
field: 14034033
14
34
33
And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel to serve, even to serve the LORD their God. And all his days they departed not from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
field: 14035001
14
35
1
Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
field: 14035002
14
35
2
And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the LORD,
field: 14035003
14
35
3
And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people Israel,
field: 14035004
14
35
4
And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.
field: 14035005
14
35
5
And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites.
field: 14035006
14
35
6
So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
field: 14035007
14
35
7
And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king's substance.
field: 14035008
14
35
8
And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle and three hundred oxen.
field: 14035009
14
35
9
Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for passover offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.
field: 14035010
14
35
10
So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the king's commandment.
field: 14035011
14
35
11
And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites flayed them.
field: 14035012
14
35
12
And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer unto the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.
field: 14035013
14
35
13
And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: but the other holy offerings sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the people.
field: 14035014
14
35
14
And afterward they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering of burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.
field: 14035015
14
35
15
And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the porters waited at every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
field: 14035016
14
35
16
So all the service of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon the altar of the LORD, according to the commandment of king Josiah.
field: 14035017
14
35
17
And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
field: 14035018
14
35
18
And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
field: 14035019
14
35
19
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept.
field: 14035020
14
35
20
After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Charchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.
field: 14035021
14
35
21
But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not.
field: 14035022
14
35
22
Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
field: 14035023
14
35
23
And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded.
field: 14035024
14
35
24
His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
field: 14035025
14
35
25
And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.
field: 14035026
14
35
26
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to that which was written in the law of the LORD,
field: 14035027
14
35
27
And his deeds, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
field: 14036001
14
36
1
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.
field: 14036002
14
36
2
Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
field: 14036003
14
36
3
And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in an hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
field: 14036004
14
36
4
And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
field: 14036005
14
36
5
Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God.
field: 14036006
14
36
6
Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
field: 14036007
14
36
7
Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
field: 14036008
14
36
8
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
field: 14036009
14
36
9
Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
field: 14036010
14
36
10
And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
field: 14036011
14
36
11
Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
field: 14036012
14
36
12
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the LORD.
field: 14036013
14
36
13
And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD God of Israel.
field: 14036014
14
36
14
Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
field: 14036015
14
36
15
And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:
field: 14036016
14
36
16
But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
field: 14036017
14
36
17
Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.
field: 14036018
14
36
18
And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon.
field: 14036019
14
36
19
And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.
field: 14036020
14
36
20
And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:
field: 14036021

36
21
To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.

22
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
field: 14036023
14
36
23
Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.

Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem.

And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.

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;

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:

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.

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.

And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.

Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
field: 15003003
15

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.
field: 15003004
15

4
They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required;
field: 15003005
15
3
5
And afterward offered the continual burnt offering, both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill offering unto the LORD.
field: 15003006
15

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.
field: 15003007

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.

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.
field: 15003009
15

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.
field: 15003010
15

10
And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.
field: 15003011
15
3
11
And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.
field: 15003012
15

12
But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
field: 15003013
15

13
So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.

Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity builded the temple unto the LORD God of Israel;
field: 15004002
15
4
2
Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers, and said unto them, Let us build with you: for we seek your God, as ye do; and we do sacrifice unto him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assur, which brought us up hither.
field: 15004003
15
4
3
But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God; but we ourselves together will build unto the LORD God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us.
field: 15004004
15
4
4
Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building,
field: 15004005
15
4
5
And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.
field: 15004006
15

6
And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, wrote they unto him an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.
field: 15004007
15

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.
field: 15004008

Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this sort:
field: 15004009
15

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,
field: 15004010
15

10
And the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Asnapper brought over, and set in the cities of Samaria, and the rest that are on this side the river, and at such a time.
field: 15004011
15

11
This is the copy of the letter that they sent unto him, even unto Artaxerxes the king; Thy servants the men on this side the river, and at such a time.
field: 15004012
15
4
12
Be it known unto the king, that the Jews which came up from thee to us are come unto Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the bad city, and have set up the walls thereof, and joined the foundations.
field: 15004013
15
4
13
Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls set up again, then will they not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so thou shalt endamage the revenue of the kings.
field: 15004014
15
4
14
Now because we have maintenance from the king's palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king's dishonour, therefore have we sent and certified the king;
field: 15004015
15
4
15
That search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed.
field: 15004016
15
4
16
We certify the king that, if this city be builded again, and the walls thereof set up, by this means thou shalt have no portion on this side the river.
field: 15004017
15
4
17
Then sent the king an answer unto Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and unto the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at such a time.
field: 15004018
15
4
18
The letter which ye sent unto us hath been plainly read before me.
field: 15004019
15
4
19
And I commanded, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old time hath made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein.
field: 15004020
15
4
20
There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, which have ruled over all countries beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid unto them.
field: 15004021
15
4
21
Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not builded, until another commandment shall be given from me.
field: 15004022
15
4
22
Take heed now that ye fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?
field: 15004023
15
4
23
Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.
field: 15004024
15
4
24
Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
field: 15005001
15
5
1
Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, even unto them.
field: 15005002
15
5
2
Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them.
field: 15005003
15
5
3
At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai and their companions, and said thus unto them, Who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall?
field: 15005004
15
5
4
Then said we unto them after this manner, What are the names of the men that make this building?
field: 15005005
15
5
5
But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, that they could not cause them to cease, till the matter came to Darius: and then they returned answer by letter concerning this matter.
field: 15005006
15
5
6
The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai and his companions the Apharsachites, which were on this side the river, sent unto Darius the king:
field: 15005007
15
5
7
They sent a letter unto him, wherein was written thus; Unto Darius the king, all peace.
field: 15005008
15
5
8
Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and prospereth in their hands.
field: 15005009
15
5
9
Then asked we those elders, and said unto them thus, Who commanded you to build this house, and to make up these walls?
field: 15005010
15
5
10
We asked their names also, to certify thee, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief of them.
field: 15005011
15
5
11
And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house that was builded these many years ago, which a great king of Israel builded and set up.
field: 15005012
15
5
12
But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.
field: 15005013
15
5
13
But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon the same king Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God.
field: 15005014
15
5
14
And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought them into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered unto one, whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;
field: 15005015
15
5
15
And said unto him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be builded in his place.
field: 15005016
15
5
16
Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and yet it is not finished.
field: 15005017
15
5
17
Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let there be search made in the king's treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.
field: 15006001
15

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.
field: 15006002
15
6
2
And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of the Medes, a roll, and therein was a record thus written:
field: 15006003
15
6
3
In the first year of Cyrus the king the same Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be builded, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits;
field: 15006004
15

With three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king's house:

5
And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought again unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to his place, and place them in the house of God.
field: 15006006

Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shetharboznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which are beyond the river, be ye far from thence:
field: 15006007
15
6
7
Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in his place.
field: 15006008
15
6
8
Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith expenses be given unto these men, that they be not hindered.
field: 15006009
15
6
9
And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests which are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail:
field: 15006010
15
6
10
That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
field: 15006011
15
6
11
Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
field: 15006012
15
6
12
And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall put to their hand to alter and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed.
field: 15006013
15
6
13
Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shetharboznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily.
field: 15006014
15
6
14
And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
field: 15006015
15
6
15
And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
field: 15006016
15
6
16
And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.
field: 15006017
15
6
17
And offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve he goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
field: 15006018
15
6
18
And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses.
field: 15006019
15
6
19
And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month.
field: 15006020
15
6
20
For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure, and killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
field: 15006021
15
6
21
And the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the LORD God of Israel, did eat,
field: 15006022
15
6
22
And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

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,
field: 15007002
15
7
2
The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
field: 15007003
15
7
3
The son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
field: 15007004
15
7
4
The son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
field: 15007005
15
7
5
The son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest:
field: 15007006
15
7
6
This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel had given: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him.
field: 15007007
15
7
7
And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
field: 15007008
15
7
8
And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
field: 15007009
15
7
9
For upon the first day of the first month began he to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.
field: 15007010
15
7
10
For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.
field: 15007011
15
7
11
Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, even a scribe of the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of his statutes to Israel.
field: 15007012
15
7
12
Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect peace, and at such a time.
field: 15007013
15
7
13
I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and of his priests and Levites, in my realm, which are minded of their own freewill to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee.
field: 15007014
15
7
14
Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king, and of his seven counsellors, to enquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thine hand;
field: 15007015
15
7
15
And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,
field: 15007016
15
7
16
And all the silver and gold that thou canst find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem:
field: 15007017
15
7
17
That thou mayest buy speedily with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meat offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
field: 15007018
15
7
18
And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do after the will of your God.
field: 15007019
15
7
19
The vessels also that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, those deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem.
field: 15007020
15
7
20
And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure house.
field: 15007021
15
7
21
And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily,
field: 15007022
15
7
22
Unto an hundred talents of silver, and to an hundred measures of wheat, and to an hundred baths of wine, and to an hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.
field: 15007023
15
7
23
Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
field: 15007024
15
7
24
Also we certify you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them.
field: 15007025
15
7
25
And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that is in thine hand, set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye them that know them not.
field: 15007026
15
7
26
And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
field: 15007027
15

27
Blessed be the LORD God of our fathers, which hath put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem:
field: 15007028
15
7
28
And hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king's mighty princes. And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
field: 15008001

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.

Of the sons of Phinehas; Gershom: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; Hattush.

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.

Of the sons of Pahathmoab; Elihoenai the son of Zerahiah, and with him two hundred males.

Of the sons also of Adin; Ebed the son of Jonathan, and with him fifty males.

And of the sons of Elam; Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah, and with him seventy males.

And of the sons of Shephatiah; Zebadiah the son of Michael, and with him fourscore males.

Of the sons of Joab; Obadiah the son of Jehiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males.

And of the sons of Shelomith; the son of Josiphiah, and with him an hundred and threescore males.
field: 15008011
15

11
And of the sons of Bebai; Zechariah the son of Bebai, and with him twenty and eight males.
field: 15008012
15

12
And of the sons of Azgad; Johanan the son of Hakkatan, and with him an hundred and ten males.
field: 15008013
15

13
And of the last sons of Adonikam, whose names are these, Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them threescore males.
field: 15008014
15
8
14
Of the sons also of Bigvai; Uthai, and Zabbud, and with them seventy males.
field: 15008015
15
8
15
And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there abode we in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.
field: 15008016
15
8
16
Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding.
field: 15008017
15
8
17
And I sent them with commandment unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and I told them what they should say unto Iddo, and to his brethren the Nethinims, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God.
field: 15008018
15
8
18
And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;
field: 15008019
15
8
19
And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;
field: 15008020
15
8
20
Also of the Nethinims, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinims: all of them were expressed by name.
field: 15008021
15
8
21
Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.
field: 15008022
15
8
22
For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.
field: 15008023
15
8
23
So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us.
field: 15008024
15
8
24
Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,
field: 15008025
15
8
25
And weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel there present, had offered:
field: 15008026
15
8
26
I even weighed unto their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels an hundred talents, and of gold an hundred talents;
field: 15008027
15
8
27
Also twenty basons of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold.
field: 15008028
15
8
28
And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto the LORD; the vessels are holy also; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the LORD God of your fathers.
field: 15008029
15
8
29
Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD.
field: 15008030
15
8
30
So took the priests and the Levites the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.
field: 15008031
15
8
31
Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.
field: 15008032
15
8
32
And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.
field: 15008033
15
8
33
Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites;
field: 15008034
15
8
34
By number and by weight of every one: and all the weight was written at that time.
field: 15008035
15
8
35
Also the children of those that had been carried away, which were come out of the captivity, offered burnt offerings unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he goats for a sin offering: all this was a burnt offering unto the LORD.
field: 15008036
15
8
36
And they delivered the king's commissions unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors on this side the river: and they furthered the people, and the house of God.
field: 15009001
15
9
1
Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
field: 15009002
15
9
2
For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass.
field: 15009003
15
9
3
And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonied.
field: 15009004
15
9
4
Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice.
field: 15009005
15
9
5
And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God,
field: 15009006
15
9
6
And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens.
field: 15009007
15
9
7
Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.
field: 15009008
15
9
8
And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
field: 15009009
15
9
9
For we were bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
field: 15009010
15
9
10
And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments,
field: 15009011
15
9
11
Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness.
field: 15009012
15
9
12
Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever.
field: 15009013
15
9
13
And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this;
field: 15009014
15
9
14
Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping?
field: 15009015
15
9
15
O LORD God of Israel, thou art righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this.
field: 15010001
15
10
1
Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very sore.
field: 15010002
15
10
2
And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.
field: 15010003
15
10
3
Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.
field: 15010004
15
10
4
Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it.
field: 15010005
15
10
5
Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word. And they sware.
field: 15010006
15
10
6
Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away.
field: 15010007
15
10
7
And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;
field: 15010008
15
10
8
And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.
field: 15010009
15
10
9
Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.
field: 15010010
15
10
10
And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.
field: 15010011
15
10
11
Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives.
field: 15010012
15
10
12
Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do.
field: 15010013
15
10
13
But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.
field: 15010014
15
10
14
Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter be turned from us.
field: 15010015
15
10
15
Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah were employed about this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
field: 15010016
15
10
16
And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain chief of the fathers, after the house of their fathers, and all of them by their names, were separated, and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
field: 15010017
15
10
17
And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.
field: 15010018
15
10
18
And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken strange wives: namely, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren; Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
field: 15010019
15
10
19
And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass.
field: 15010020
15
10
20
And of the sons of Immer; Hanani, and Zebadiah.
field: 15010021
15
10
21
And of the sons of Harim; Maaseiah, and Elijah, and Shemaiah, and Jehiel, and Uzziah.

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,
field: 16001002
16
1
2
That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
field: 16001003
16
1
3
And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.
field: 16001004
16
1
4
And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,
field: 16001005
16
1
5
And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:
field: 16001006
16
1
6
Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned.
field: 16001007
16

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.
field: 16001008
16
1
8
Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:
field: 16001009
16
1
9
But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.
field: 16001010

Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.
field: 16001011

11
O LORD, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's cupbearer.

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.
field: 16002002
16
2
2
Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid,
field: 16002003
16
2
3
And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?
field: 16002004
16
2
4
Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.
field: 16002005
16
2
5
And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it.
field: 16002006
16
2
6
And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.
field: 16002007
16
2
7
Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah;
field: 16002008
16
2
8
And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.
field: 16002009
16
2
9
Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me.

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.
field: 16002011
16
2
11
So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.
field: 16002012
16
2
12
And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon.
field: 16002013
16
2
13
And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.
field: 16002014
16
2
14
Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king's pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.
field: 16002015
16
2
15
Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned.
field: 16002016
16
2
16
And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work.
field: 16002017
16
2
17
Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.
field: 16002018
16
2
18
Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.
field: 16002019
16
2
19
But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king?
field: 16002020
16
2
20
Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.

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.

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.

14
But the dung gate repaired Malchiah the son of Rechab, the ruler of part of Bethhaccerem; he built it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof.

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.

32
And between the going up of the corner unto the sheep gate repaired the goldsmiths and the merchants.
field: 16004001

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.
field: 16004002
16
4
2
And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?
field: 16004003
16
4
3
Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.
field: 16004004
16
4
4
Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity:
field: 16004005
16
4
5
And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.
field: 16004006
16
4
6
So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
field: 16004007
16
4
7
But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,
field: 16004008
16
4
8
And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
field: 16004009
16
4
9
Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
field: 16004010
16
4
10
And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.
field: 16004011
16
4
11
And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
field: 16004012
16
4
12
And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you.
field: 16004013
16
4
13
Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
field: 16004014
16
4
14
And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the LORD, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
field: 16004015
16
4
15
And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.
field: 16004016
16
4
16
And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.
field: 16004017
16
4
17
They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
field: 16004018
16
4
18
For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
field: 16004019
16
4
19
And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another.
field: 16004020
16
4
20
In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us.
field: 16004021
16
4
21
So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.
field: 16004022
16
4
22
Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day.
field: 16004023
16
4
23
So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing.
field: 16005001
16
5
1
And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews.
field: 16005002
16
5
2
For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live.
field: 16005003
16
5
3
Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth.
field: 16005004
16
5
4
There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards.
field: 16005005
16
5
5
Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards.
field: 16005006
16
5
6
And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.
field: 16005007
16
5
7
Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them.
field: 16005008
16
5
8
And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer.
field: 16005009
16
5
9
Also I said, It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?
field: 16005010
16
5
10
I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury.
field: 16005011
16
5
11
Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.
field: 16005012
16
5
12
Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise.
field: 16005013
16
5
13
Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise.
field: 16005014
16
5
14
Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.
field: 16005015
16
5
15
But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.
field: 16005016
16
5
16
Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work.
field: 16005017
16

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.

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.
field: 16005019

19
Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.
field: 16006001

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;)
field: 16006002
16
6
2
That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.
field: 16006003
16
6
3
And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?
field: 16006004
16
6
4
Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.
field: 16006005
16
6
5
Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
field: 16006006
16
6
6
Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words.
field: 16006007
16
6
7
And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.
field: 16006008
16
6
8
Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.
field: 16006009
16
6
9
For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.
field: 16006010
16
6
10
Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee.
field: 16006011
16
6
11
And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.
field: 16006012
16
6
12
And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
field: 16006013
16
6
13
Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me.
field: 16006014
16
6
14
My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.
field: 16006015
16
6
15
So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.
field: 16006016
16
6
16
And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.
field: 16006017
16
6
17
Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them.
field: 16006018
16
6
18
For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.
field: 16006019
16
6
19
Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
field: 16007001
16

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,
field: 16007002
16
7
2
That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.
field: 16007003
16
7
3
And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house.
field: 16007004
16
7
4
Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.
field: 16007005
16
7
5
And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein,
field: 16007006

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;

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.

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.

The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore,

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.

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.
field: 16007071

71
And some of the chief of the fathers gave to the treasure of the work twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand and two hundred pound of silver.
field: 16007072

72
And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand pound of silver, and threescore and seven priests' garments.
field: 16007073
16
7
73
So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.
field: 16008001
16

1
And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.
field: 16008002
16
8
2
And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.
field: 16008003
16
8
3
And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law.
field: 16008004
16
8
4
And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
field: 16008005
16
8
5
And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up:
field: 16008006
16
8
6
And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
field: 16008007
16
8
7
Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place.
field: 16008008
16
8
8
So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
field: 16008009
16
8
9
And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
field: 16008010
16
8
10
Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our LORD: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
field: 16008011
16
8
11
So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.
field: 16008012
16
8
12
And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.
field: 16008013
16
8
13
And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law.
field: 16008014
16
8
14
And they found written in the law which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month:
field: 16008015
16
8
15
And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.
field: 16008016
16
8
16
So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim.
field: 16008017
16
8
17
And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.
field: 16008018
16
8
18
Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner.
field: 16009001
16

1
Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them.
field: 16009002
16
9
2
And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
field: 16009003
16
9
3
And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed, and worshipped the LORD their God.
field: 16009004
16
9
4
Then stood up upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried with a loud voice unto the LORD their God.
field: 16009005
16
9
5
Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.
field: 16009006
16

6
Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.
field: 16009007
16

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;
field: 16009008
16
9
8
And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous:
field: 16009009
16
9
9
And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red sea;
field: 16009010
16
9
10
And shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them. So didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day.
field: 16009011
16
9
11
And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.
field: 16009012
16
9
12
Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go.
field: 16009013
16
9
13
Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:
field: 16009014
16
9
14
And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:
field: 16009015
16
9
15
And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.
field: 16009016
16
9
16
But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,
field: 16009017
16
9
17
And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.
field: 16009018
16
9
18
Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations;
field: 16009019
16
9
19
Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go.
field: 16009020
16
9
20
Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.
field: 16009021
16
9
21
Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not.
field: 16009022
16
9
22
Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and didst divide them into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.
field: 16009023
16
9
23
Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst promised to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.

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.
field: 16009025
16

25
And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells digged, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness.
field: 16009026
16

26
Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.
field: 16009027
16
9
27
Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.
field: 16009028
16

28
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;
field: 16009029
16
9
29
And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.
field: 16009030
16
9
30
Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.
field: 16009031
16

31
Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.
field: 16009032
16

32
Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.
field: 16009033
16

33
Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly:
field: 16009034
16
9
34
Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them.
field: 16009035
16
9
35
For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.
field: 16009036
16
9
36
Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in it:
field: 16009037
16
9
37
And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.
field: 16009038
16

38
And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto it.

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;

29
They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes;
field: 16010030

And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of the land, not take their daughters for our sons:

16

31
And if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day: and that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.
field: 16010032

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;

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.

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:

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.

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.
field: 16012028
16
12

And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi;
field: 16012029
16
12
29
Also from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem.
field: 16012030

30
And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
field: 16012031
16
12
31
Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies of them that gave thanks, whereof one went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:
field: 16012032
16
12
32
And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,

field: 16012038
16
12
38
And the other company of them that gave thanks went over against them, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad wall;

And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate.

So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:

And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;

field: 16012044
16
12
44
And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited.

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.
field: 16012046
16
12
46
For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.
field: 16012047
16
12
47
And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.
field: 16013001
16
13
1
On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever;
field: 16013002
16
13
2
Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing.
field: 16013003
16
13
3
Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.
field: 16013004
16
13
4
And before this, Eliashib the priest, having the oversight of the chamber of the house of our God, was allied unto Tobiah:
field: 16013005
16
13
5
And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded to be given to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests.
field: 16013006
16
13
6
But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem: for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king, and after certain days obtained I leave of the king:
field: 16013007
16
13
7
And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.
field: 16013008
16
13
8
And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff to Tobiah out of the chamber.
field: 16013009
16
13
9
Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat offering and the frankincense.
field: 16013010
16
13
10
And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.
field: 16013011
16
13
11
Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place.
field: 16013012
16
13
12
Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries.
field: 16013013
16
13
13
And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithful, and their office was to distribute unto their brethren.
field: 16013014
16
13
14
Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices thereof.
field: 16013015
16
13
15
In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals.
field: 16013016
16
13
16
There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
field: 16013017
16
13
17
Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?
field: 16013018
16
13
18
Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.
field: 16013019
16
13
19
And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.
field: 16013020
16
13
20
So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.
field: 16013021
16
13
21
Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath.
field: 16013022
16
13
22
And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.
field: 16013023
16
13
23
In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab:
field: 16013024
16
13
24
And their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of each people.
field: 16013025
16
13
25
And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves.
field: 16013026
16
13
26
Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.
field: 16013027
16
13
27
Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?
field: 16013028
16
13
28
And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son in law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me.
field: 16013029
16
13
29
Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
field: 16013030
16
13
30
Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business;
field: 16013031
16
13
31
And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.

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:)
field: 17001002
17
1
2
That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,
field: 17001003
17
1
3
In the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him:
field: 17001004
17
1
4
When he shewed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and fourscore days.
field: 17001005
17
1
5
And when these days were expired, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace;
field: 17001006
17
1
6
Where were white, green, and blue, hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the beds were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black, marble.
field: 17001007
17
1
7
And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, (the vessels being diverse one from another,) and royal wine in abundance, according to the state of the king.
field: 17001008
17
1
8
And the drinking was according to the law; none did compel: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man's pleasure.
field: 17001009
17
1
9
Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.
field: 17001010
17
1
10
On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,
field: 17001011
17
1
11
To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to shew the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on.
field: 17001012
17
1
12
But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.
field: 17001013
17
1
13
Then the king said to the wise men, which knew the times, (for so was the king's manner toward all that knew law and judgment:
field: 17001014
17
1
14
And the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, which saw the king's face, and which sat the first in the kingdom;)
field: 17001015
17
1
15
What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?
field: 17001016
17
1
16
And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.
field: 17001017
17
1
17
For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.
field: 17001018
17
1
18
Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day unto all the king's princes, which have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath.
field: 17001019
17
1
19
If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she.
field: 17001020
17
1
20
And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.
field: 17001021
17
1
21
And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:
field: 17001022
17
1
22
For he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be published according to the language of every people.
field: 17002001
17
2
1
After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
field: 17002002
17
2
2
Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:
field: 17002003
17
2
3
And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them:
field: 17002004
17
2
4
And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.
field: 17002005
17
2
5
Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;
field: 17002006
17
2
6
Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.
field: 17002007
17
2
7
And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.
field: 17002008
17
2
8
So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
field: 17002009
17
2
9
And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king's house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women.
field: 17002010
17
2
10
Esther had not shewed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not shew it.
field: 17002011
17
2
11
And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of her.
field: 17002012
17
2
12
Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;)
field: 17002013
17
2
13
Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.
field: 17002014
17
2
14
In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name.
field: 17002015
17
2
15
Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.
field: 17002016
17
2
16
So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
field: 17002017
17
2
17
And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
field: 17002018
17
2
18
Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king.
field: 17002019
17
2
19
And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai sat in the king's gate.
field: 17002020
17
2
20
Esther had not yet shewed her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him.
field: 17002021
17
2
21
In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.
field: 17002022
17
2
22
And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king thereof in Mordecai's name.
field: 17002023
17
2
23
And when inquisition was made of the matter, it was found out; therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.
field: 17003001
17

1
After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.
field: 17003002
17
3
2
And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.
field: 17003003
17
3
3
Then the king's servants, which were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?
field: 17003004
17
3
4
Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.
field: 17003005
17
3
5
And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.
field: 17003006
17
3
6
And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
field: 17003007
17
3
7
In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.
field: 17003008
17
3
8
And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them.
field: 17003009
17
3
9
If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.
field: 17003010
17
3
10
And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
field: 17003011
17
3
11
And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.
field: 17003012
17
3
12
Then were the king's scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring.
field: 17003013
17
3
13
And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.
field: 17003014
17
3
14
The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready against that day.
field: 17003015
17
3
15
The posts went out, being hastened by the king's commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.
field: 17004001
17
4
1
When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;
field: 17004002
17
4
2
And came even before the king's gate: for none might enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.
field: 17004003
17
4
3
And in every province, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
field: 17004004
17
4
4
So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received it not.
field: 17004005
17
4
5
Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was.
field: 17004006
17
4
6
So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the king's gate.
field: 17004007
17
4
7
And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.
field: 17004008
17
4
8
Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people.
field: 17004009
17
4
9
And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
field: 17004010
17
4
10
Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai;
field: 17004011
17
4
11
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.
field: 17004012
17
4
12
And they told to Mordecai Esther's words.
field: 17004013
17
4
13
Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.
field: 17004014
17
4
14
For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
field: 17004015
17
4
15
Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer,
field: 17004016
17
4
16
Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
field: 17004017
17
4
17
So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
field: 17005001
17
5
1
Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.
field: 17005002
17
5
2
And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
field: 17005003
17
5
3
Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.
field: 17005004
17
5
4
And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.
field: 17005005
17
5
5
Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
field: 17005006
17
5
6
And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.
field: 17005007
17

7
Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is;
field: 17005008
17
5
8
If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hath said.
field: 17005009
17

9
Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai.
field: 17005010
17
5
10
Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.
field: 17005011
17
5
11
And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
field: 17005012
17
5
12
Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to morrow am I invited unto her also with the king.
field: 17005013
17
5
13
Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.
field: 17005014
17
5
14
Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
field: 17006001
17
6
1
On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
field: 17006002
17
6
2
And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
field: 17006003
17
6
3
And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.
field: 17006004
17
6
4
And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
field: 17006005
17
6
5
And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
field: 17006006
17
6
6
So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
field: 17006007
17
6
7
And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
field: 17006008
17
6
8
Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:
field: 17006009
17
6
9
And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
field: 17006010
17
6
10
Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.
field: 17006011
17
6
11
Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
field: 17006012
17
6
12
And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
field: 17006013
17
6
13
And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
field: 17006014
17
6
14
And while they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.
field: 17007001
17
7
1
So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
field: 17007002
17
7
2
And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.
field: 17007003
17
7
3
Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
field: 17007004
17
7
4
For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.
field: 17007005
17
7
5
Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
field: 17007006
17
7
6
And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
field: 17007007
17
7
7
And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
field: 17007008
17
7
8
Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
field: 17007009
17
7
9
And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.
field: 17007010
17
7
10
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
field: 17008001
17
8
1
On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews' enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.
field: 17008002
17
8
2
And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
field: 17008003
17
8
3
And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.
field: 17008004
17
8
4
Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,
field: 17008005
17
8
5
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:
field: 17008006
17
8
6
For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
field: 17008007
17
8
7
Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.
field: 17008008
17
8
8
Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring: for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse.
field: 17008009
17
8
9
Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
field: 17008010
17
8
10
And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus' name, and sealed it with the king's ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries:
field: 17008011
17
8
11
Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,
field: 17008012
17
8
12
Upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
field: 17008013
17
8
13
The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
field: 17008014
17
8
14
So the posts that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan the palace.
field: 17008015
17
8
15
And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.
field: 17008016
17
8
16
The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour.
field: 17008017
17
8
17
And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.
field: 17009001
17
9
1
Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;)
field: 17009002
17
9
2
The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.
field: 17009003
17
9
3
And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them.
field: 17009004
17
9
4
For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
field: 17009005
17
9
5
Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them.
field: 17009006
17
9
6
And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
field: 17009007
17
9
7
And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
field: 17009008
17
9
8
And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
field: 17009009
17
9
9
And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
field: 17009010
17
9
10
The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand.
field: 17009011
17
9
11
On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
field: 17009012
17
9
12
And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.
field: 17009013
17
9
13
Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according unto this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
field: 17009014
17
9
14
And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.
field: 17009015
17
9
15
For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand.
field: 17009016
17
9
16
But the other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey,
field: 17009017
17
9
17
On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
field: 17009018
17
9
18
But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
field: 17009019
17
9
19
Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
field: 17009020
17
9
20
And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,
field: 17009021
17
9
21
To stablish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
field: 17009022
17
9
22
As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
field: 17009023
17
9
23
And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;
field: 17009024
17
9
24
Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
field: 17009025
17
9
25
But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
field: 17009026
17
9
26
Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,
field: 17009027
17
9
27
The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year;
field: 17009028
17
9
28
And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
field: 17009029
17
9
29
Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.
field: 17009030
17
9
30
And he sent the letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,
field: 17009031
17
9
31
To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.
field: 17009032
17
9
32
And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
field: 17010001

And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea.
field: 17010002
17
10
2
And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?
field: 17010003
17
10
3
For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
field: 18001001

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.
field: 18001002
18
1
2
And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
field: 18001003
18
1
3
His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
field: 18001004
18
1
4
And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
field: 18001005
18
1
5
And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
field: 18001006
18

6
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
field: 18001007
18
1
7
And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
field: 18001008
18
1
8
And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
field: 18001009
18
1
9
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
field: 18001010
18
1
10
Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
field: 18001011
18
1
11
But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
field: 18001012
18
1
12
And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
field: 18001013
18
1
13
And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
field: 18001014
18
1
14
And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
field: 18001015
18
1
15
And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
field: 18001016
18
1
16
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
field: 18001017
18
1
17
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
field: 18001018
18
1
18
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
field: 18001019
18
1
19
And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
field: 18001020
18
1
20
Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
field: 18001021
18
1
21
And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
field: 18001022
18
1
22
In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
field: 18002001
18
2
1
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
field: 18002002
18
2
2
And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
field: 18002003
18
2
3
And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
field: 18002004
18
2
4
And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
field: 18002005
18
2
5
But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
field: 18002006
18
2
6
And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
field: 18002007
18
2
7
So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
field: 18002008
18
2
8
And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.
field: 18002009
18
2
9
Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
field: 18002010
18
2
10
But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
field: 18002011
18
2
11
Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
field: 18002012
18
2
12
And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
field: 18002013
18
2
13
So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
field: 18003001
18
3
1
After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
field: 18003002
18

2
And Job spake, and said,
field: 18003003
18
3
3
Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.
field: 18003004
18
3
4
Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.
field: 18003005
18
3
5
Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
field: 18003006
18
3
6
As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
field: 18003007
18
3
7
Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
field: 18003008
18
3
8
Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.
field: 18003009
18
3
9
Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:
field: 18003010
18
3
10
Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.
field: 18003011
18
3
11
Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
field: 18003012
18
3
12
Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?
field: 18003013
18
3
13
For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
field: 18003014
18
3
14
With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate places for themselves;
field: 18003015
18
3
15
Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
field: 18003016
18
3
16
Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.
field: 18003017
18
3
17
There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
field: 18003018
18
3
18
There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
field: 18003019
18
3
19
The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
field: 18003020
18
3
20
Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;
field: 18003021
18
3
21
Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
field: 18003022
18
3
22
Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
field: 18003023
18
3
23
Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
field: 18003024
18
3
24
For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
field: 18003025
18
3
25
For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
field: 18003026
18
3
26
I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
field: 18004001
18

1
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
field: 18004002
18
4
2
If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
field: 18004003
18
4
3
Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
field: 18004004
18
4
4
Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
field: 18004005
18
4
5
But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
field: 18004006
18
4
6
Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
field: 18004007
18
4
7
Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
field: 18004008
18
4
8
Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
field: 18004009
18
4
9
By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
field: 18004010
18
4
10
The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
field: 18004011
18
4
11
The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.
field: 18004012
18
4
12
Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.
field: 18004013
18
4
13
In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
field: 18004014
18
4
14
Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
field: 18004015
18
4
15
Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
field: 18004016
18
4
16
It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,
field: 18004017
18
4
17
Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
field: 18004018
18
4
18
Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
field: 18004019
18
4
19
How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
field: 18004020
18
4
20
They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
field: 18004021
18
4
21
Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
field: 18005001
18
5
1
Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?
field: 18005002
18
5
2
For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
field: 18005003
18
5
3
I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
field: 18005004
18
5
4
His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
field: 18005005
18
5
5
Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
field: 18005006
18
5
6
Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
field: 18005007
18
5
7
Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
field: 18005008
18
5
8
I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
field: 18005009
18
5
9
Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
field: 18005010
18
5
10
Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
field: 18005011
18
5
11
To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
field: 18005012
18
5
12
He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
field: 18005013
18
5
13
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
field: 18005014
18
5
14
They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
field: 18005015
18
5
15
But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
field: 18005016
18
5
16
So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
field: 18005017
18
5
17
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
field: 18005018
18
5
18
For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
field: 18005019
18
5
19
He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
field: 18005020
18
5
20
In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
field: 18005021
18
5
21
Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
field: 18005022
18
5
22
At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
field: 18005023
18
5
23
For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
field: 18005024
18
5
24
And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
field: 18005025
18
5
25
Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
field: 18005026
18
5
26
Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
field: 18005027
18
5
27
Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
field: 18006001
18
6
1
But Job answered and said,
field: 18006002
18
6
2
Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
field: 18006003
18
6
3
For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.
field: 18006004
18
6
4
For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
field: 18006005
18
6
5
Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
field: 18006006
18
6
6
Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
field: 18006007
18
6
7
The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.
field: 18006008
18
6
8
Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
field: 18006009
18
6
9
Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
field: 18006010
18
6
10
Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
field: 18006011
18
6
11
What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?
field: 18006012
18
6
12
Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
field: 18006013
18
6
13
Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
field: 18006014
18
6
14
To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
field: 18006015
18
6
15
My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;
field: 18006016
18
6
16
Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:
field: 18006017
18
6
17
What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
field: 18006018
18
6
18
The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
field: 18006019
18
6
19
The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
field: 18006020
18
6
20
They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.
field: 18006021
18
6
21
For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.
field: 18006022
18
6
22
Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?
field: 18006023
18
6
23
Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
field: 18006024
18
6
24
Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
field: 18006025
18
6
25
How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
field: 18006026
18
6
26
Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
field: 18006027
18
6
27
Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.
field: 18006028
18
6
28
Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.
field: 18006029
18
6
29
Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.
field: 18006030
18
6
30
Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
field: 18007001
18
7
1
Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?
field: 18007002
18
7
2
As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:
field: 18007003
18
7
3
So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
field: 18007004
18
7
4
When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.
field: 18007005
18
7
5
My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.
field: 18007006
18
7
6
My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.
field: 18007007
18
7
7
O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.
field: 18007008
18
7
8
The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.
field: 18007009
18
7
9
As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.
field: 18007010
18
7
10
He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
field: 18007011
18
7
11
Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
field: 18007012
18
7
12
Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?
field: 18007013
18
7
13
When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaints;
field: 18007014
18
7
14
Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:
field: 18007015
18
7
15
So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.
field: 18007016
18
7
16
I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.
field: 18007017
18
7
17
What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?
field: 18007018
18
7
18
And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?
field: 18007019
18
7
19
How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
field: 18007020
18
7
20
I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?
field: 18007021
18
7
21
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.
field: 18008001
18
8
1
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
field: 18008002
18
8
2
How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?
field: 18008003
18
8
3
Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
field: 18008004
18
8
4
If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;
field: 18008005
18
8
5
If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
field: 18008006
18
8
6
If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
field: 18008007
18
8
7
Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
field: 18008008
18
8
8
For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
field: 18008009
18
8
9
(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)
field: 18008010
18
8
10
Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
field: 18008011
18
8
11
Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
field: 18008012
18
8
12
Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.
field: 18008013
18
8
13
So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:
field: 18008014
18
8
14
Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.
field: 18008015
18
8
15
He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
field: 18008016
18
8
16
He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.
field: 18008017
18
8
17
His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.
field: 18008018
18
8
18
If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.
field: 18008019
18
8
19
Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
field: 18008020
18
8
20
Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
field: 18008021
18
8
21
Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.
field: 18008022
18
8
22
They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
field: 18009001
18
9
1
Then Job answered and said,
field: 18009002
18
9
2
I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
field: 18009003
18
9
3
If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
field: 18009004
18
9
4
He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
field: 18009005
18
9
5
Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
field: 18009006
18
9
6
Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
field: 18009007
18
9
7
Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
field: 18009008
18
9
8
Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
field: 18009009
18
9
9
Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
field: 18009010
18
9
10
Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
field: 18009011
18
9
11
Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
field: 18009012
18
9
12
Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
field: 18009013
18
9
13
If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
field: 18009014
18
9
14
How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
field: 18009015
18
9
15
Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
field: 18009016
18
9
16
If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
field: 18009017
18
9
17
For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
field: 18009018
18
9
18
He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
field: 18009019
18
9
19
If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?
field: 18009020
18
9
20
If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
field: 18009021
18
9
21
Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
field: 18009022
18
9
22
This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.

23
If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
field: 18009024
18
9
24
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
field: 18009025
18
9
25
Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
field: 18009026
18
9
26
They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.
field: 18009027
18
9
27
If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:
field: 18009028
18
9
28
I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
field: 18009029
18
9
29
If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
field: 18009030
18
9
30
If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
field: 18009031
18
9
31
Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
field: 18009032
18
9
32
For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
field: 18009033
18
9
33
Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
field: 18009034
18
9
34
Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
field: 18009035
18
9
35
Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
field: 18010001
18
10
1
My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
field: 18010002
18
10
2
I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
field: 18010003
18
10
3
Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
field: 18010004
18
10
4
Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
field: 18010005
18
10
5
Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days,
field: 18010006
18
10
6
That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
field: 18010007
18
10
7
Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.
field: 18010008
18
10
8
Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
field: 18010009
18
10
9
Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
field: 18010010
18
10
10
Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
field: 18010011
18
10
11
Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
field: 18010012
18
10
12
Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
field: 18010013
18
10
13
And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.
field: 18010014
18
10
14
If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
field: 18010015
18
10
15
If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
field: 18010016
18
10
16
For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
field: 18010017
18
10
17
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
field: 18010018
18
10
18
Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
field: 18010019
18
10
19
I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
field: 18010020
18
10
20
Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
field: 18010021
18
10
21
Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
field: 18010022
18
10
22
A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
field: 18011001

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
field: 18011002
18
11
2
Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
field: 18011003
18
11
3
Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
field: 18011004
18
11
4
For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
field: 18011005
18
11
5
But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
field: 18011006
18
11
6
And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
field: 18011007
18
11
7
Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
field: 18011008
18
11
8
It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
field: 18011009
18
11
9
The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
field: 18011010
18
11
10
If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
field: 18011011
18
11
11
For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
field: 18011012
18
11
12
For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.
field: 18011013
18
11
13
If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
field: 18011014
18
11
14
If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
field: 18011015
18
11
15
For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
field: 18011016
18
11
16
Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
field: 18011017
18
11
17
And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
field: 18011018
18
11
18
And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
field: 18011019
18
11
19
Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
field: 18011020
18
11
20
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
field: 18012001

And Job answered and said,
field: 18012002
18
12
2
No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
field: 18012003
18
12
3
But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
field: 18012004
18
12
4
I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
field: 18012005
18
12
5
He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
field: 18012006
18
12
6
The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
field: 18012007
18
12
7
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
field: 18012008
18
12
8
Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
field: 18012009
18
12
9
Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
field: 18012010
18
12
10
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
field: 18012011
18
12
11
Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
field: 18012012
18
12
12
With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
field: 18012013
18
12
13
With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
field: 18012014
18
12
14
Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
field: 18012015
18
12
15
Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
field: 18012016
18
12
16
With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.
field: 18012017
18
12
17
He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.
field: 18012018
18
12
18
He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.
field: 18012019
18
12
19
He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
field: 18012020
18
12
20
He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
field: 18012021
18
12
21
He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
field: 18012022
18
12
22
He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
field: 18012023
18
12
23
He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.
field: 18012024
18
12
24
He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
field: 18012025
18
12
25
They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.
field: 18013001
18
13
1
Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.
field: 18013002
18
13
2
What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.
field: 18013003
18
13
3
Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
field: 18013004
18
13
4
But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
field: 18013005
18
13
5
O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
field: 18013006
18
13
6
Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
field: 18013007
18
13
7
Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
field: 18013008
18
13
8
Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
field: 18013009
18
13
9
Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?
field: 18013010
18
13
10
He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
field: 18013011
18
13
11
Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
field: 18013012
18
13
12
Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
field: 18013013
18
13
13
Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.
field: 18013014
18
13
14
Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
field: 18013015
18
13
15
Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
field: 18013016
18
13
16
He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
field: 18013017
18
13
17
Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
field: 18013018
18
13
18
Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
field: 18013019
18
13
19
Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
field: 18013020
18
13
20
Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
field: 18013021
18
13
21
Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
field: 18013022
18
13
22
Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
field: 18013023
18
13
23
How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
field: 18013024
18
13
24
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
field: 18013025
18
13
25
Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
field: 18013026
18
13
26
For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
field: 18013027
18
13
27
Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.
field: 18013028
18
13
28
And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.
field: 18014001
18
14
1
Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.
field: 18014002
18
14
2
He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
field: 18014003
18
14
3
And doth thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
field: 18014004
18
14
4
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
field: 18014005
18
14
5
Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
field: 18014006
18
14
6
Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
field: 18014007
18
14
7
For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
field: 18014008
18
14
8
Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
field: 18014009
18
14
9
Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
field: 18014010
18
14
10
But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
field: 18014011
18
14
11
As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
field: 18014012
18
14
12
So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
field: 18014013
18
14
13
O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
field: 18014014
18
14
14
If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
field: 18014015
18
14
15
Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
field: 18014016
18
14
16
For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
field: 18014017
18
14
17
My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.
field: 18014018
18
14
18
And surely the mountains falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.
field: 18014019
18
14
19
The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
field: 18014020
18
14
20
Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
field: 18014021
18
14
21
His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
field: 18014022
18
14
22
But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
field: 18015001
18
15
1
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
field: 18015002
18
15
2
Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
field: 18015003
18
15
3
Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
field: 18015004
18
15
4
Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
field: 18015005
18
15
5
For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
field: 18015006
18
15
6
Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
field: 18015007
18
15
7
Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
field: 18015008
18
15
8
Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
field: 18015009
18
15
9
What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
field: 18015010
18
15
10
With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
field: 18015011
18
15
11
Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
field: 18015012
18
15
12
Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
field: 18015013
18
15
13
That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
field: 18015014
18
15
14
What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
field: 18015015
18
15
15
Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
field: 18015016
18
15
16
How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
field: 18015017
18
15
17
I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
field: 18015018
18
15
18
Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
field: 18015019
18
15
19
Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
field: 18015020
18
15
20
The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
field: 18015021
18
15
21
A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
field: 18015022
18
15
22
He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
field: 18015023
18
15
23
He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
field: 18015024
18
15
24
Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
field: 18015025
18
15
25
For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
field: 18015026
18
15
26
He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
field: 18015027
18
15
27
Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
field: 18015028
18
15
28
And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
field: 18015029
18
15
29
He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
field: 18015030
18
15
30
He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
field: 18015031
18
15
31
Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.
field: 18015032
18
15
32
It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
field: 18015033
18
15
33
He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
field: 18015034
18

34
For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
field: 18015035
18
15
35
They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
field: 18016001
18
16
1
Then Job answered and said,
field: 18016002
18
16
2
I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
field: 18016003
18
16
3
Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
field: 18016004
18
16
4
I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.
field: 18016005
18
16
5
But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.
field: 18016006
18
16
6
Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?
field: 18016007
18
16
7
But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
field: 18016008
18
16
8
And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
field: 18016009
18
16
9
He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
field: 18016010
18
16
10
They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
field: 18016011
18
16
11
God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
field: 18016012
18
16
12
I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
field: 18016013
18
16
13
His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
field: 18016014
18
16
14
He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.
field: 18016015
18
16
15
I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
field: 18016016
18
16
16
My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
field: 18016017
18
16
17
Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.
field: 18016018
18
16
18
O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.
field: 18016019
18
16
19
Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.
field: 18016020
18
16
20
My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.
field: 18016021
18
16
21
O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!
field: 18016022
18
16
22
When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
field: 18017001
18
17
1
My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
field: 18017002
18
17
2
Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
field: 18017003
18
17
3
Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
field: 18017004
18
17
4
For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
field: 18017005
18
17
5
He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
field: 18017006
18
17
6
He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
field: 18017007
18
17
7
Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
field: 18017008
18
17
8
Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
field: 18017009
18
17
9
The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
field: 18017010
18
17
10
But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
field: 18017011
18
17
11
My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
field: 18017012
18
17
12
They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
field: 18017013
18
17
13
If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
field: 18017014
18
17
14
I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
field: 18017015
18
17
15
And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
field: 18017016
18
17
16
They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
field: 18018001
18
18
1
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
field: 18018002
18
18
2
How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
field: 18018003
18
18
3
Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
field: 18018004
18
18
4
He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
field: 18018005
18
18
5
Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
field: 18018006
18
18
6
The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
field: 18018007
18
18
7
The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
field: 18018008
18
18
8
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
field: 18018009
18
18
9
The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
field: 18018010
18
18
10
The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
field: 18018011
18
18
11
Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
field: 18018012
18
18
12
His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
field: 18018013
18
18
13
It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
field: 18018014
18
18
14
His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
field: 18018015
18
18
15
It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
field: 18018016
18
18
16
His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
field: 18018017
18
18
17
His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
field: 18018018
18
18
18
He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
field: 18018019
18
18
19
He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
field: 18018020
18
18
20
They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
field: 18018021
18
18
21
Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
field: 18019001
18
19
1
Then Job answered and said,
field: 18019002
18
19
2
How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
field: 18019003
18
19
3
These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.
field: 18019004
18
19
4
And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
field: 18019005
18
19
5
If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:
field: 18019006
18
19
6
Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.
field: 18019007
18
19
7
Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
field: 18019008
18
19
8
He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
field: 18019009
18
19
9
He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
field: 18019010
18
19
10
He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.
field: 18019011
18
19
11
He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.
field: 18019012
18
19
12
His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
field: 18019013
18
19
13
He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
field: 18019014
18
19
14
My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
field: 18019015
18
19
15
They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
field: 18019016
18
19
16
I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.
field: 18019017
18
19
17
My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.
field: 18019018
18
19
18
Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
field: 18019019
18
19
19
All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
field: 18019020
18
19
20
My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
field: 18019021
18
19
21
Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
field: 18019022
18
19
22
Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
field: 18019023
18
19
23
Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
field: 18019024
18
19
24
That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
field: 18019025
18
19
25
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
field: 18019026
18
19
26
And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
field: 18019027
18
19
27
Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
field: 18019028
18
19
28
But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
field: 18019029
18
19
29
Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
field: 18020001
18
20
1
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
field: 18020002
18
20
2
Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.
field: 18020003
18
20
3
I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
field: 18020004
18
20
4
Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
field: 18020005
18
20
5
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
field: 18020006
18
20
6
Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
field: 18020007
18
20
7
Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
field: 18020008
18
20
8
He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
field: 18020009
18
20
9
The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
field: 18020010
18
20
10
His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.
field: 18020011
18
20
11
His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
field: 18020012
18
20
12
Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
field: 18020013
18
20
13
Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
field: 18020014
18
20
14
Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
field: 18020015
18
20
15
He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
field: 18020016
18
20
16
He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.
field: 18020017
18
20
17
He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
field: 18020018
18
20
18
That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.
field: 18020019
18
20
19
Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;
field: 18020020
18
20
20
Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.
field: 18020021
18
20
21
There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
field: 18020022
18
20
22
In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
field: 18020023
18
20
23
When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.
field: 18020024
18
20
24
He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.
field: 18020025
18
20
25
It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.
field: 18020026
18
20
26
All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.
field: 18020027
18
20
27
The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.
field: 18020028
18
20
28
The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
field: 18020029
18
20
29
This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
field: 18021001
18
21
1
But Job answered and said,
field: 18021002
18
21
2
Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.
field: 18021003
18
21
3
Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.
field: 18021004
18
21
4
As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?
field: 18021005
18
21
5
Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.
field: 18021006
18
21
6
Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.
field: 18021007
18
21
7
Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
field: 18021008
18
21
8
Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
field: 18021009
18
21
9
Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
field: 18021010
18
21
10
Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
field: 18021011
18
21
11
They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.
field: 18021012
18
21
12
They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.
field: 18021013
18
21
13
They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
field: 18021014
18
21
14
Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
field: 18021015
18
21
15
What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
field: 18021016
18
21
16
Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
field: 18021017
18
21
17
How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.
field: 18021018
18
21
18
They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.
field: 18021019
18
21
19
God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.
field: 18021020
18
21
20
His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
field: 18021021
18
21
21
For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?
field: 18021022
18
21
22
Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.
field: 18021023
18
21
23
One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
field: 18021024
18
21
24
His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.
field: 18021025
18
21
25
And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.
field: 18021026
18
21
26
They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.
field: 18021027
18
21
27
Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.
field: 18021028
18
21
28
For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?
field: 18021029
18
21
29
Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens,
field: 18021030
18
21
30
That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
field: 18021031
18
21
31
Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?
field: 18021032
18
21
32
Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.
field: 18021033
18
21
33
The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.
field: 18021034
18
21
34
How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?
field: 18022001
18
22
1
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
field: 18022002
18
22
2
Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
field: 18022003
18
22
3
Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
field: 18022004
18
22
4
Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
field: 18022005
18
22
5
Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
field: 18022006
18
22
6
For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
field: 18022007
18
22
7
Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
field: 18022008
18
22
8
But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.
field: 18022009
18
22
9
Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
field: 18022010
18
22
10
Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;
field: 18022011
18
22
11
Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.
field: 18022012
18
22
12
Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
field: 18022013
18
22
13
And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
field: 18022014
18

Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.

18

15
Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
field: 18022016
18
22
16
Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:
field: 18022017
18
22
17
Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
field: 18022018
18
22
18
Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
field: 18022019
18
22
19
The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
field: 18022020
18
22
20
Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
field: 18022021
18
22
21
Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
field: 18022022
18
22
22
Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
field: 18022023
18
22
23
If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
field: 18022024
18
22
24
Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
field: 18022025
18
22
25
Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
field: 18022026
18
22
26
For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
field: 18022027
18
22
27
Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
field: 18022028
18
22
28
Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
field: 18022029
18
22
29
When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
field: 18022030
18
22
30
He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
field: 18023001
18
23

Then Job answered and said,
field: 18023002
18
23
2
Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
field: 18023003
18
23
3
Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
field: 18023004
18
23
4
I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
field: 18023005
18
23
5
I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
field: 18023006
18
23
6
Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
field: 18023007
18
23
7
There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
field: 18023008
18
23
8
Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
field: 18023009
18
23
9
On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
field: 18023010
18
23
10
But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
field: 18023011
18
23
11
My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
field: 18023012
18
23
12
Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
field: 18023013
18
23
13
But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
field: 18023014
18
23
14
For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
field: 18023015
18
23
15
Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
field: 18023016
18
23
16
For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
field: 18023017
18
23
17
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
field: 18024001
18
24
1
Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?
field: 18024002
18
24
2
Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
field: 18024003
18
24
3
They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
field: 18024004
18
24
4
They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
field: 18024005
18
24
5
Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.
field: 18024006
18
24
6
They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
field: 18024007
18
24
7
They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
field: 18024008
18
24
8
They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
field: 18024009
18
24
9
They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
field: 18024010
18
24
10
They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
field: 18024011
18
24
11
Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
field: 18024012
18
24
12
Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.
field: 18024013
18
24
13
They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
field: 18024014
18
24
14
The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
field: 18024015
18
24
15
The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.
field: 18024016
18
24
16
In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
field: 18024017
18
24
17
For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
field: 18024018
18
24
18
He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.
field: 18024019
18
24
19
Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.
field: 18024020
18
24
20
The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
field: 18024021
18
24
21
He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.
field: 18024022
18
24
22
He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
field: 18024023
18
24
23
Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.
field: 18024024
18
24
24
They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
field: 18024025
18
24
25
And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
field: 18025001
18

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
field: 18025002
18
25
2
Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.
field: 18025003
18
25
3
Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?
field: 18025004
18
25
4
How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
field: 18025005
18
25
5
Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
field: 18025006
18
25
6
How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
field: 18026001
18
26
1
But Job answered and said,
field: 18026002
18
26
2
How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
field: 18026003
18
26
3
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
field: 18026004
18
26
4
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
field: 18026005
18
26
5
Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
field: 18026006
18
26
6
Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
field: 18026007
18
26
7
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
field: 18026008
18
26
8
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
field: 18026009
18
26
9
He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
field: 18026010
18
26
10
He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
field: 18026011
18
26
11
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
field: 18026012
18
26
12
He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
field: 18026013
18
26
13
By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
field: 18026014
18
26
14
Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
field: 18027001
18
27
1
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
field: 18027002
18
27
2
As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
field: 18027003
18
27
3
All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
field: 18027004
18
27
4
My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
field: 18027005
18
27
5
God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
field: 18027006
18
27
6
My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
field: 18027007
18
27
7
Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
field: 18027008
18
27
8
For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
field: 18027009
18
27
9
Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
field: 18027010
18
27
10
Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
field: 18027011
18
27
11
I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
field: 18027012
18
27
12
Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?
field: 18027013
18
27
13
This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
field: 18027014
18
27
14
If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
field: 18027015
18
27
15
Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
field: 18027016
18
27
16
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
field: 18027017
18
27
17
He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
field: 18027018
18
27
18
He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
field: 18027019
18
27
19
The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
field: 18027020
18
27
20
Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
field: 18027021
18
27
21
The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
field: 18027022
18
27
22
For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
field: 18027023
18
27
23
Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
field: 18028001
18
28
1
Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.
field: 18028002
18
28
2
Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.
field: 18028003
18
28
3
He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
field: 18028004
18
28
4
The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
field: 18028005
18
28
5
As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.
field: 18028006
18
28
6
The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.
field: 18028007
18
28
7
There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:
field: 18028008
18
28
8
The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
field: 18028009
18
28
9
He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.
field: 18028010
18
28
10
He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.
field: 18028011
18
28
11
He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
field: 18028012
18
28
12
But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
field: 18028013
18
28
13
Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
field: 18028014
18
28
14
The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
field: 18028015
18
28
15
It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
field: 18028016
18
28
16
It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
field: 18028017
18
28
17
The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
field: 18028018
18
28
18
No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
field: 18028019
18
28
19
The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
field: 18028020
18
28
20
Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
field: 18028021
18
28
21
Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
field: 18028022
18
28
22
Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
field: 18028023
18
28
23
God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
field: 18028024
18
28
24
For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
field: 18028025
18
28
25
To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
field: 18028026
18
28
26
When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
field: 18028027
18
28
27
Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
field: 18028028
18
28
28
And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
field: 18029001
18
29
1
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
field: 18029002
18
29
2
Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
field: 18029003
18
29
3
When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
field: 18029004
18
29
4
As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
field: 18029005
18
29
5
When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
field: 18029006
18
29
6
When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
field: 18029007
18
29
7
When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
field: 18029008
18
29
8
The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
field: 18029009
18
29
9
The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
field: 18029010
18
29
10
The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
field: 18029011
18
29
11
When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
field: 18029012
18
29
12
Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
field: 18029013
18
29
13
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
field: 18029014
18
29
14
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
field: 18029015
18
29
15
I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
field: 18029016
18
29
16
I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
field: 18029017
18
29
17
And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
field: 18029018
18
29
18
Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
field: 18029019
18
29
19
My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
field: 18029020
18
29
20
My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
field: 18029021
18
29
21
Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
field: 18029022
18
29
22
After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
field: 18029023
18
29
23
And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
field: 18029024
18
29
24
If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
field: 18029025
18
29
25
I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
field: 18030001
18
30
1
But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.
field: 18030002
18
30
2
Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?
field: 18030003
18
30
3
For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
field: 18030004
18
30
4
Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.
field: 18030005
18
30
5
They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)
field: 18030006
18
30
6
To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
field: 18030007
18
30
7
Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
field: 18030008
18
30
8
They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.
field: 18030009
18
30
9
And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.
field: 18030010
18
30
10
They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.
field: 18030011
18
30
11
Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.
field: 18030012
18
30
12
Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.
field: 18030013
18
30
13
They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.
field: 18030014
18
30
14
They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.
field: 18030015
18
30
15
Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.
field: 18030016
18
30
16
And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
field: 18030017
18
30
17
My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.
field: 18030018
18
30
18
By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
field: 18030019
18
30
19
He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.
field: 18030020
18
30
20
I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.
field: 18030021
18
30
21
Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.
field: 18030022
18
30
22
Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.
field: 18030023
18
30
23
For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.
field: 18030024
18
30
24
Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.
field: 18030025
18
30
25
Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?
field: 18030026
18
30
26
When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
field: 18030027
18
30
27
My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.
field: 18030028
18
30
28
I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.
field: 18030029
18
30
29
I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.
field: 18030030
18
30
30
My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.
field: 18030031
18
30
31
My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
field: 18031001
18
31
1
I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
field: 18031002
18
31
2
For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
field: 18031003
18
31
3
Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
field: 18031004
18
31
4
Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
field: 18031005
18
31
5
If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
field: 18031006
18
31
6
Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity.
field: 18031007
18
31
7
If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;
field: 18031008
18
31
8
Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
field: 18031009
18
31
9
If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
field: 18031010
18
31
10
Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
field: 18031011
18
31
11
For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
field: 18031012
18
31
12
For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
field: 18031013
18
31
13
If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;
field: 18031014
18
31
14
What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
field: 18031015
18
31
15
Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
field: 18031016
18
31
16
If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
field: 18031017
18
31
17
Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
field: 18031018
18
31
18
(For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
field: 18031019
18
31
19
If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
field: 18031020
18
31
20
If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
field: 18031021
18
31
21
If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
field: 18031022
18
31
22
Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
field: 18031023
18
31
23
For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
field: 18031024
18
31
24
If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
field: 18031025
18
31
25
If I rejoice because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;
field: 18031026
18
31
26
If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
field: 18031027
18
31
27
And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
field: 18031028
18
31
28
This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
field: 18031029
18
31
29
If I rejoice at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
field: 18031030
18
31
30
Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
field: 18031031
18
31
31
If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
field: 18031032
18
31
32
The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.
field: 18031033
18
31
33
If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:
field: 18031034
18
31
34
Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
field: 18031035
18
31
35
Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.
field: 18031036
18
31
36
Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.
field: 18031037
18
31
37
I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.
field: 18031038
18
31
38
If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;
field: 18031039
18
31
39
If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
field: 18031040
18
31
40
Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
field: 18032001
18
32
1
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
field: 18032002
18
32
2
Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
field: 18032003
18
32
3
Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
field: 18032004
18
32
4
Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
field: 18032005
18
32
5
When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
field: 18032006
18
32
6
And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.
field: 18032007
18
32
7
I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
field: 18032008
18
32
8
But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
field: 18032009
18
32
9
Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
field: 18032010
18
32
10
Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
field: 18032011
18
32
11
Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
field: 18032012
18
32
12
Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
field: 18032013
18
32
13
Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
field: 18032014
18
32
14
Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
field: 18032015
18
32
15
They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
field: 18032016
18
32
16
When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)
field: 18032017
18
32
17
I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
field: 18032018
18
32
18
For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
field: 18032019
18
32
19
Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
field: 18032020
18
32
20
I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
field: 18032021
18
32
21
Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
field: 18032022
18
32
22
For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
field: 18033001
18
33
1
Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
field: 18033002
18
33
2
Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
field: 18033003
18
33
3
My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
field: 18033004
18
33
4
The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
field: 18033005
18
33
5
If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
field: 18033006
18
33
6
Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
field: 18033007
18
33
7
Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
field: 18033008
18
33
8
Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,
field: 18033009
18
33
9
I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
field: 18033010
18
33
10
Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,
field: 18033011
18
33
11
He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
field: 18033012
18
33
12
Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
field: 18033013
18
33
13
Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
field: 18033014
18
33
14
For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
field: 18033015
18
33
15
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
field: 18033016
18
33
16
Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
field: 18033017
18
33
17
That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
field: 18033018
18
33
18
He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
field: 18033019
18
33
19
He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
field: 18033020
18
33
20
So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
field: 18033021
18
33
21
His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
field: 18033022
18
33
22
Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
field: 18033023
18
33
23
If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
field: 18033024
18
33
24
Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
field: 18033025
18
33
25
His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
field: 18033026
18
33
26
He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
field: 18033027
18
33
27
He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
field: 18033028
18
33
28
He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
field: 18033029
18
33
29
Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,
field: 18033030
18
33
30
To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
field: 18033031
18
33
31
Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.
field: 18033032
18
33
32
If thou hast anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.
field: 18033033
18
33
33
If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
field: 18034001
18
34
1
Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
field: 18034002
18
34
2
Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
field: 18034003
18
34
3
For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.
field: 18034004
18
34
4
Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
field: 18034005
18
34
5
For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
field: 18034006
18
34
6
Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
field: 18034007
18
34
7
What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
field: 18034008
18
34
8
Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
field: 18034009
18
34
9
For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
field: 18034010
18
34
10
Therefore hearken unto me ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
field: 18034011
18
34
11
For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
field: 18034012
18
34
12
Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
field: 18034013
18
34
13
Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
field: 18034014
18
34
14
If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
field: 18034015
18
34
15
All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
field: 18034016
18
34
16
If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
field: 18034017
18
34
17
Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
field: 18034018
18
34
18
Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
field: 18034019
18
34
19
How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
field: 18034020
18
34
20
In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
field: 18034021
18
34
21
For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
field: 18034022
18
34
22
There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
field: 18034023
18
34
23
For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
field: 18034024
18
34
24
He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
field: 18034025
18
34
25
Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
field: 18034026
18
34
26
He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
field: 18034027
18
34
27
Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
field: 18034028
18
34
28
So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
field: 18034029
18
34
29
When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
field: 18034030
18
34
30
That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
field: 18034031
18
34
31
Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:
field: 18034032
18
34
32
That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
field: 18034033
18
34
33
Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
field: 18034034
18
34
34
Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.
field: 18034035
18
34
35
Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
field: 18034036
18
34
36
My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.
field: 18034037
18
34
37
For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
field: 18035001
18
35
1
Elihu spake moreover, and said,
field: 18035002
18
35
2
Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?
field: 18035003
18
35
3
For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
field: 18035004
18
35
4
I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
field: 18035005
18
35
5
Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
field: 18035006
18
35
6
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
field: 18035007
18
35
7
If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
field: 18035008
18
35
8
Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
field: 18035009
18
35
9
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
field: 18035010
18
35
10
But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
field: 18035011
18
35
11
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
field: 18035012
18
35
12
There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
field: 18035013
18
35
13
Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
field: 18035014
18
35
14
Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
field: 18035015
18
35
15
But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
field: 18035016
18
35
16
Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
field: 18036001
18
36
1
Elihu also proceeded, and said,
field: 18036002
18
36
2
Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.
field: 18036003
18
36
3
I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
field: 18036004
18
36
4
For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
field: 18036005
18
36
5
Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
field: 18036006
18
36
6
He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.
field: 18036007
18
36
7
He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
field: 18036008
18
36
8
And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
field: 18036009
18
36
9
Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
field: 18036010
18
36
10
He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
field: 18036011
18
36
11
If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
field: 18036012
18
36
12
But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
field: 18036013
18
36
13
But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.
field: 18036014
18
36
14
They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
field: 18036015
18
36
15
He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.
field: 18036016
18
36
16
Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.
field: 18036017
18
36
17
But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.
field: 18036018
18
36
18
Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.
field: 18036019
18
36
19
Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
field: 18036020
18
36
20
Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
field: 18036021
18
36
21
Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
field: 18036022
18
36
22
Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
field: 18036023
18
36
23
Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
field: 18036024
18
36
24
Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
field: 18036025
18
36
25
Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
field: 18036026
18
36
26
Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
field: 18036027
18
36
27
For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
field: 18036028
18
36
28
Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
field: 18036029
18
36
29
Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
field: 18036030
18
36
30
Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
field: 18036031
18
36
31
For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.
field: 18036032
18
36
32
With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.
field: 18036033
18
36
33
The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.
field: 18037001
18
37
1
At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.
field: 18037002
18
37
2
Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
field: 18037003
18
37
3
He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
field: 18037004
18
37
4
After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
field: 18037005
18
37
5
God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
field: 18037006
18
37
6
For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
field: 18037007
18
37
7
He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
field: 18037008
18
37
8
Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
field: 18037009
18
37
9
Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
field: 18037010
18
37
10
By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
field: 18037011
18
37
11
Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
field: 18037012
18
37
12
And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.
field: 18037013
18
37
13
He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
field: 18037014
18
37
14
Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
field: 18037015
18
37
15
Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
field: 18037016
18
37
16
Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
field: 18037017
18
37
17
How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
field: 18037018
18
37
18
Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
field: 18037019
18
37
19
Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
field: 18037020
18
37
20
Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.
field: 18037021
18
37
21
And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
field: 18037022
18
37
22
Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.
field: 18037023
18
37
23
Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
field: 18037024
18
37
24
Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
field: 18038001
18
38
1
Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
field: 18038002
18
38
2
Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
field: 18038003
18
38
3
Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
field: 18038004
18
38
4
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
field: 18038005
18
38
5
Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
field: 18038006
18
38
6
Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
field: 18038007
18
38
7
When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
field: 18038008
18
38
8
Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
field: 18038009
18
38
9
When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
field: 18038010
18
38
10
And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
field: 18038011
18
38
11
And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
field: 18038012
18
38
12
Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
field: 18038013
18
38
13
That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
field: 18038014
18
38
14
It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
field: 18038015
18
38
15
And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.
field: 18038016
18
38
16
Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
field: 18038017
18
38
17
Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?
field: 18038018
18
38
18
Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.
field: 18038019
18
38
19
Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,
field: 18038020
18
38
20
That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?
field: 18038021
18
38
21
Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?
field: 18038022
18
38
22
Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
field: 18038023
18
38
23
Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
field: 18038024
18
38
24
By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?
field: 18038025
18
38
25
Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
field: 18038026
18
38
26
To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
field: 18038027
18
38
27
To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
field: 18038028
18
38
28
Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
field: 18038029
18
38
29
Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
field: 18038030
18
38
30
The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
field: 18038031
18
38
31
Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
field: 18038032
18
38
32
Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
field: 18038033
18
38
33
Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
field: 18038034
18
38
34
Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?
field: 18038035
18
38
35
Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go and say unto thee, Here we are?
field: 18038036
18
38
36
Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?
field: 18038037
18
38
37
Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,
field: 18038038
18
38
38
When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?
field: 18038039
18
38
39
Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,
field: 18038040
18
38
40
When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?
field: 18038041
18
38
41
Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.
field: 18039001
18
39
1
Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
field: 18039002
18
39
2
Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
field: 18039003
18
39
3
They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.
field: 18039004
18
39
4
Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them.
field: 18039005
18
39
5
Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?
field: 18039006
18
39
6
Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.
field: 18039007
18
39
7
He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.
field: 18039008
18
39
8
The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.
field: 18039009
18
39
9
Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
field: 18039010
18
39
10
Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
field: 18039011
18
39
11
Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
field: 18039012
18
39
12
Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?
field: 18039013
18
39
13
Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?
field: 18039014
18
39
14
Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
field: 18039015
18
39
15
And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
field: 18039016
18
39
16
She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not her's: her labour is in vain without fear;
field: 18039017
18
39
17
Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
field: 18039018
18
39
18
What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
field: 18039019
18
39
19
Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
field: 18039020
18
39
20
Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
field: 18039021
18
39
21
He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
field: 18039022
18
39
22
He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.
field: 18039023
18
39
23
The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
field: 18039024
18
39
24
He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
field: 18039025
18
39
25
He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
field: 18039026
18
39
26
Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
field: 18039027
18
39
27
Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
field: 18039028
18
39
28
She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
field: 18039029
18
39
29
From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.
field: 18039030
18
39
30
Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.
field: 18040001
18
40
1
Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
field: 18040002
18
40
2
Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
field: 18040003
18
40
3
Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
field: 18040004
18
40
4
Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
field: 18040005
18
40
5
Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
field: 18040006
18
40
6
Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
field: 18040007
18
40
7
Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
field: 18040008
18
40
8
Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
field: 18040009
18
40
9
Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
field: 18040010
18
40
10
Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.
field: 18040011
18
40
11
Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
field: 18040012
18
40
12
Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
field: 18040013
18
40
13
Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
field: 18040014
18
40
14
Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
field: 18040015
18
40
15
Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
field: 18040016
18
40
16
Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
field: 18040017
18
40
17
He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
field: 18040018
18
40
18
His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
field: 18040019
18
40
19
He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
field: 18040020
18
40
20
Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
field: 18040021
18
40
21
He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
field: 18040022
18
40
22
The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
field: 18040023
18
40
23
Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
field: 18040024
18
40
24
He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
field: 18041001
18
41
1
Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
field: 18041002
18
41
2
Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
field: 18041003
18
41
3
Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?
field: 18041004
18
41
4
Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
field: 18041005
18
41
5
Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
field: 18041006
18
41
6
Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
field: 18041007
18
41
7
Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
field: 18041008
18
41
8
Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
field: 18041009
18
41
9
Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
field: 18041010
18

None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?
field: 18041011
18
41
11
Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.
field: 18041012
18
41
12
I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
field: 18041013
18
41
13
Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?
field: 18041014
18
41
14
Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
field: 18041015
18
41
15
His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
field: 18041016
18
41
16
One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
field: 18041017
18
41
17
They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
field: 18041018
18
41
18
By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
field: 18041019
18
41
19
Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
field: 18041020
18
41
20
Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
field: 18041021
18
41
21
His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
field: 18041022
18
41
22
In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
field: 18041023
18
41
23
The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
field: 18041024
18
41
24
His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.
field: 18041025
18
41
25
When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
field: 18041026
18
41
26
The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
field: 18041027
18
41
27
He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
field: 18041028
18
41
28
The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
field: 18041029
18
41
29
Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.
field: 18041030
18
41
30
Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.
field: 18041031
18
41
31
He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
field: 18041032
18
41
32
He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
field: 18041033
18
41
33
Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
field: 18041034
18
41
34
He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
field: 18042001

Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
field: 18042002
18
42
2
I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
field: 18042003
18
42
3
Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
field: 18042004
18
42
4
Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
field: 18042005
18
42
5
I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
field: 18042006
18
42
6
Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
field: 18042007
18
42
7
And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
field: 18042008
18
42
8
Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.
field: 18042009
18
42
9
So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.
field: 18042010
18
42
10
And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
field: 18042011
18
42
11
Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
field: 18042012
18
42
12
So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
field: 18042013
18
42
13
He had also seven sons and three daughters.
field: 18042014
18
42
14
And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
field: 18042015
18
42
15
And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
field: 18042016
18
42
16
After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
field: 18042017
18
42
17
So Job died, being old and full of days.

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.
field: 19001002
19

2
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
field: 19001003
19

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.

4
The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
field: 19001005
19

5
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
field: 19001006

For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
field: 19002002
19
2
2
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
field: 19002003
19
2
3
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
field: 19002004
19
2
4
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.
field: 19002005
19
2
5
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
field: 19002006
19

6
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
field: 19002007
19

7
I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
field: 19002008
19
2
8
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
field: 19002009
19
2
9
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
field: 19002010
19
2
10
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
field: 19002011

11
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
field: 19002012

Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.

Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
field: 19003003
19

3
But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
field: 19003004
19
3
4
I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
field: 19003005
19

5
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
field: 19003006
19

6
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
field: 19003007
19

7
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.
field: 19003008

Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
field: 19004001

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.
field: 19004002

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.
field: 19004003
19

But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
field: 19004004

Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
field: 19004005

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
field: 19004006

There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
field: 19004007
19
4
7
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
field: 19004008
19

8
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
field: 19005001
19

1
Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
field: 19005002
19

2
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
field: 19005003
19
5
3
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
field: 19005004
19
5
4
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
field: 19005005
19
5
5
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
field: 19005006
19
5
6
Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
field: 19005007
19
5
7
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.
field: 19005008
19
5
8
Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
field: 19005009
19
5
9
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.
field: 19005010
19
5
10
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.
field: 19005011
19
5
11
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.
field: 19005012
19
5
12
For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
field: 19006001

1
O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
field: 19006002
19
6
2
Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
field: 19006003
19
6
3
My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?
field: 19006004
19
6
4
Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake.
field: 19006005
19
6
5
For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
field: 19006006
19
6
6
I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
field: 19006007
19
6
7
Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
field: 19006008
19
6
8
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
field: 19006009
19
6
9
The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.
field: 19006010
19

10
Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
field: 19007001
19

1
O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
field: 19007002
19
7
2
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
field: 19007003
19
7
3
O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
field: 19007004
19
7
4
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
field: 19007005
19
7
5
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.
field: 19007006
19
7
6
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.
field: 19007007
19
7
7
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
field: 19007008
19
7
8
The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
field: 19007009
19
7
9
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
field: 19007010
19
7
10
My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
field: 19007011
19
7
11
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
field: 19007012
19
7
12
If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
field: 19007013
19
7
13
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
field: 19007014
19
7
14
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
field: 19007015
19
7
15
He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
field: 19007016
19
7
16
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
field: 19007017

I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
field: 19008002
19

2
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.
field: 19008003
19
8
3
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
field: 19008004
19
8
4
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
field: 19008005
19
8
5
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
field: 19008006
19
8
6
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
field: 19008007
19
8
7
All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
field: 19008008

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
field: 19009001

I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.
field: 19009002
19

2
I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.
field: 19009003
19
9
3
When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.
field: 19009004
19

4
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.
field: 19009005
19

5
Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
field: 19009006
19
9
6
O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
field: 19009007
19
9
7
But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
field: 19009008
19
9
8
And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.
field: 19009009
19
9
9
The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
field: 19009010
19

10
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
field: 19009011
19

11
Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.
field: 19009012
19
9
12
When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
field: 19009013
19
9
13
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:
field: 19009014
19
9
14
That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
field: 19009015

The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
field: 19009016

The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
field: 19009019

Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.
field: 19009020

Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
field: 19010002

10
2
The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
field: 19010003
19
10
3
For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
field: 19010004
19
10
4
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
field: 19010005
19
10
5
His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
field: 19010006
19
10
6
He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
field: 19010007
19
10
7
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
field: 19010008
19
10
8
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.
field: 19010009
19
10
9
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.
field: 19010010
19
10
10
He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
field: 19010011
19
10
11
He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
field: 19010012
19
10
12
Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
field: 19010013
19
10
13
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
field: 19010014
19
10
14
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.

Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

17
LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
field: 19010018
19
10
18
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
field: 19011001
19
11
1
In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
field: 19011002
19
11
2
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.
field: 19011003
19
11
3
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
field: 19011004
19
11
4
The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
field: 19011005
19
11
5
The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
field: 19011006
19
11
6
Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
field: 19011007
19
11
7
For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
field: 19012001
19
12
1
Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
field: 19012002
19
12
2
They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
field: 19012003
19
12
3
The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
field: 19012004
19
12
4
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
field: 19012005
19

5
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.
field: 19012006
19
12
6
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
field: 19012007
19
12
7
Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
field: 19012008

The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
field: 19013001

1
How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
field: 19013002
19
13
2
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
field: 19013003
19
13
3
Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
field: 19013004
19
13
4
Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
field: 19013005
19
13
5
But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
field: 19013006
19

6
I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
field: 19014001

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.
field: 19014002
19
14
2
The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
field: 19014003
19
14
3
They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
field: 19014004
19
14
4
Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
field: 19014005
19
14
5
There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.
field: 19014006
19

6
Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.
field: 19014007

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.

15
1
Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
field: 19015002
19
15
2
He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
field: 19015003
19
15
3
He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
field: 19015004
19
15
4
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.
field: 19015005
19
15
5
He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
field: 19016001
19
16
1
Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
field: 19016002
19
16
2
O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
field: 19016003
19
16
3
But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
field: 19016004
19
16
4
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.
field: 19016005
19
16
5
The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
field: 19016006
19
16
6
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
field: 19016007
19
16
7
I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
field: 19016008
19
16
8
I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
field: 19016009
19
16
9
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
field: 19016010
19
16
10
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
field: 19016011
19
16
11
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
field: 19017001
19
17
1
Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
field: 19017002
19
17
2
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
field: 19017003
19
17
3
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.
field: 19017004
19
17
4
Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
field: 19017005
19
17
5
Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
field: 19017006
19
17
6
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
field: 19017007
19
17
7
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.
field: 19017008
19
17
8
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
field: 19017009
19
17
9
From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
field: 19017010
19
17
10
They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
field: 19017011
19
17
11
They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
field: 19017012
19
17
12
Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
field: 19017013
19
17
13
Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
field: 19017014
19
17
14
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.
field: 19017015
19
17
15
As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
field: 19018001
19
18
1
I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
field: 19018002
19
18
2
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.
field: 19018003
19
18
3
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
field: 19018004
19
18
4
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
field: 19018005
19
18
5
The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
field: 19018006
19
18
6
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.
field: 19018007
19
18
7
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
field: 19018008
19
18
8
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
field: 19018009
19
18
9
He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
field: 19018010
19
18
10
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
field: 19018011
19
18
11
He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
field: 19018012
19
18
12
At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
field: 19018013
19
18
13
The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
field: 19018014
19
18
14
Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
field: 19018015
19
18
15
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.
field: 19018016
19
18
16
He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
field: 19018017
19
18
17
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
field: 19018018
19
18
18
They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
field: 19018019
19
18
19
He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
field: 19018020
19
18
20
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
field: 19018021
19
18
21
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
field: 19018022
19
18
22
For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
field: 19018023
19
18
23
I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
field: 19018024
19
18
24
Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
field: 19018025
19
18
25
With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
field: 19018026
19
18
26
With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
field: 19018027
19
18
27
For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
field: 19018028
19
18
28
For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
field: 19018029
19
18
29
For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
field: 19018030
19
18
30
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.
field: 19018031
19
18
31
For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
field: 19018032
19
18
32
It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
field: 19018033
19
18
33
He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
field: 19018034
19
18
34
He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
field: 19018035
19
18
35
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.
field: 19018036
19
18
36
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
field: 19018037
19
18
37
I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
field: 19018038
19
18
38
I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
field: 19018039
19
18
39
For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
field: 19018040
19
18
40
Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
field: 19018041
19
18
41
They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
field: 19018042
19
18
42
Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
field: 19018043
19
18
43
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.
field: 19018044
19
18
44
As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
field: 19018045
19
18
45
The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
field: 19018046
19
18
46
The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
field: 19018047
19
18
47
It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
field: 19018048
19
18
48
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.
field: 19018049
19
18
49
Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
field: 19018050
19

Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

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,

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

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.
field: 19019007

The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
field: 19019008
19
19

The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
field: 19019009
19

The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
field: 19019012
19
19
12
Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
field: 19019013
19
19
13
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
field: 19019014
19
19
14
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
field: 19020001
19
20
1
The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
field: 19020002
19
20
2
Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;
field: 19020003
19
20
3
Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.
field: 19020004
19
20
4
Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.
field: 19020005
19
20
5
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.
field: 19020006
19
20
6
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.
field: 19020007
19
20
7
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
field: 19021001
19
21
1
The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
field: 19021002
19
21
2
Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
field: 19021003
19
21
3
For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
field: 19021004
19
21
4
He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.
field: 19021005
19
21
5
His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
field: 19021006
19
21
6
For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
field: 19021007
19
21
7
For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
field: 19021008
19
21
8
Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
field: 19021009
19
21
9
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.
field: 19021010
19
21
10
Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
field: 19021011
19
21
11
For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
field: 19021012
19
21
12
Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
field: 19021013
19
21
13
Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
field: 19022001
19
22
1
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
field: 19022002
19
22
2
O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
field: 19022003
19
22
3
But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
field: 19022004
19
22
4
Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
field: 19022005
19
22
5
They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
field: 19022006
19
22
6
But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
field: 19022007
19
22
7
All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
field: 19022009
19
22

But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
field: 19022010
19
22
10
I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.
field: 19022011
19
22
11
Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
field: 19022012
19
22
12
Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
field: 19022013
19
22
13
They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
field: 19022014
19
22
14
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
field: 19022015
19
22
15
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.
field: 19022016
19
22
16
For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
field: 19022017
19
22
17
I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
field: 19022018
19
22
18
They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
field: 19022019
19
22
19
But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
field: 19022020
19
22
20
Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
field: 19022021
19
22
21
Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
field: 19022022
19
22
22
I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
field: 19022023
19
22
23
Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
field: 19022024
19
22
24
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.
field: 19022025
19
22
25
My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
field: 19022026
19
22
26
The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
field: 19022027
19
22
27
All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
field: 19022028
19
22
28
For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the nations.
field: 19022029
19
22
29
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.
field: 19022030
19
22
30
A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
field: 19022031
19
22
31
They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
field: 19023001
19
23
1
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
field: 19023002
19
23
2
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
field: 19023003
19
23
3
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
field: 19023004
19
23
4
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.
field: 19023005
19
23
5
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
field: 19023006
19
23
6
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.
field: 19024001
19
24
1
The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
field: 19024002
19
24
2
For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
field: 19024003
19
24
3
Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
field: 19024004
19
24
4
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
field: 19024005
19
24
5
He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
field: 19024006

This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
field: 19024008

Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
field: 19024009

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
field: 19025002
19
25
2
O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
field: 19025003
19
25
3
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
field: 19025004
19
25
4
Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
field: 19025005
19
25
5
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
field: 19025006
19
25
6
Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
field: 19025007
19
25
7
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
field: 19025008
19
25
8
Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
field: 19025009
19
25
9
The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
field: 19025010
19
25
10
All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
field: 19025011
19
25
11
For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
field: 19025012
19
25
12
What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
field: 19025013
19
25
13
His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
field: 19025014
19
25
14
The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
field: 19025015
19
25
15
Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
field: 19025016
19
25
16
Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
field: 19025017
19
25
17
The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
field: 19025018
19
25
18
Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
field: 19025019
19
25
19
Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
field: 19025020
19
25
20
O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
field: 19025021
19
25
21
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
field: 19025022
19
25
22
Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
field: 19026001
19
26
1
Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.
field: 19026002
19
26
2
Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
field: 19026003
19
26
3
For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
field: 19026004
19
26
4
I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
field: 19026005
19
26
5
I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
field: 19026006
19
26
6
I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:
field: 19026007
19
26
7
That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
field: 19026008
19
26
8
LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
field: 19026009
19
26
9
Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
field: 19026010
19
26
10
In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
field: 19026011
19
26
11
But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
field: 19026012
19
26
12
My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
field: 19027001
19
27
1
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?
field: 19027002
19
27
2
When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
field: 19027003
19
27
3
Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
field: 19027004
19
27
4
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.
field: 19027005
19
27
5
For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
field: 19027006
19
27
6
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.
field: 19027007
19
27
7
Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
field: 19027008
19
27
8
When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
field: 19027009
19
27
9
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.
field: 19027010
19
27
10
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
field: 19027011
19
27
11
Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
field: 19027012
19
27
12
Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
field: 19027013
19
27
13
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
field: 19027014
19
27
14
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
field: 19028001
19
28
1
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.
field: 19028002
19
28
2
Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
field: 19028003
19
28
3
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.
field: 19028004
19
28
4
Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.
field: 19028005
19
28
5
Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
field: 19028006
19
28
6
Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
field: 19028007
19
28
7
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.
field: 19028008
19
28
8
The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.
field: 19028009
19
28
9
Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.
field: 19029001
19
29
1
Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
field: 19029002
19
29
2
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
field: 19029003
19
29
3
The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.
field: 19029004
19
29
4
The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.
field: 19029005
19
29
5
The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
field: 19029006
19
29
6
He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.
field: 19029007
19
29
7
The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.
field: 19029008
19
29
8
The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
field: 19029009
19
29
9
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.
field: 19029010
19
29
10
The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.
field: 19029011
19
29
11
The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
field: 19030001
19
30
1
I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
field: 19030002
19
30
2
O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
field: 19030003
19
30
3
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.
field: 19030004
19
30
4
Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
field: 19030005
19
30
5
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
field: 19030006
19
30
6
And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
field: 19030007
19
30
7
LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
field: 19030008
19
30
8
I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.
field: 19030009
19
30
9
What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
field: 19030010
19
30
10
Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
field: 19030011
19
30
11
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
field: 19030012
19
30
12
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.
field: 19031001
19
31
1
In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
field: 19031002
19
31
2
Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
field: 19031003
19
31
3
For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
field: 19031004
19
31
4
Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.
field: 19031005
19
31
5
Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
field: 19031006
19
31
6
I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
field: 19031007
19
31
7
I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
field: 19031008
19
31
8
And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.
field: 19031009
19
31
9
Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
field: 19031010
19
31
10
For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
field: 19031011
19
31
11
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.
field: 19031012
19
31
12
I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
field: 19031013
19
31
13
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.
field: 19031014
19
31
14
But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.
field: 19031015
19
31
15
My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
field: 19031016
19
31
16
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.
field: 19031017
19
31
17
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.
field: 19031018
19
31
18
Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
field: 19031019
19
31
19
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!
field: 19031020
19
31
20
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.
field: 19031021
19
31
21
Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
field: 19031022
19
31
22
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.
field: 19031023
19
31
23
O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
field: 19031024
19
31
24
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
field: 19032001
19
32
1
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
field: 19032002
19
32
2
Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
field: 19032003
19
32
3
When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
field: 19032004
19
32
4
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
field: 19032005
19
32
5
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.
field: 19032006
19
32
6
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.
field: 19032007
19
32
7
Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
field: 19032008
19
32
8
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
field: 19032009
19
32
9
Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
field: 19032010
19
32
10
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
field: 19032011
19
32
11
Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
field: 19033001
19
33
1
Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
field: 19033002

Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
field: 19033004
19
33
4
For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
field: 19033005
19
33
5
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
field: 19033006
19
33
6
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
field: 19033007
19
33
7
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
field: 19033008
19
33
8
Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
field: 19033009
19
33
9
For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
field: 19033010
19
33
10
The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
field: 19033011
19
33
11
The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
field: 19033012
19
33
12
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
field: 19033013
19
33
13
The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
field: 19033014
19
33
14
From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
field: 19033015
19
33
15
He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
field: 19033016
19
33
16
There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
field: 19033017
19
33
17
An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
field: 19033018
19
33
18
Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
field: 19033019
19
33
19
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
field: 19033020
19
33
20
Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
field: 19033021
19
33
21
For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
field: 19033022
19
33
22
Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
field: 19034001
19
34
1
I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
field: 19034002
19
34
2
My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
field: 19034003
19
34
3
O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
field: 19034004
19
34
4
I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
field: 19034005
19
34
5
They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
field: 19034006
19
34
6
This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
field: 19034007
19
34
7
The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
field: 19034008
19
34
8
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
field: 19034009
19
34
9
O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
field: 19034010
19
34
10
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.
field: 19034011
19
34
11
Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
field: 19034012
19
34
12
What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
field: 19034013
19
34
13
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
field: 19034014
19
34
14
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
field: 19034015
19
34
15
The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
field: 19034016
19
34
16
The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
field: 19034017
19
34
17
The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
field: 19034018
19
34
18
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
field: 19034019
19
34
19
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
field: 19034020
19
34
20
He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
field: 19034021
19
34
21
Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
field: 19034022
19
34
22
The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
field: 19035001
19
35
1
Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
field: 19035002
19
35
2
Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
field: 19035003
19
35
3
Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
field: 19035004
19
35
4
Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
field: 19035005
19
35
5
Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.
field: 19035006
19
35
6
Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.
field: 19035007
19
35
7
For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
field: 19035008
19
35
8
Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
field: 19035009
19
35
9
And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
field: 19035010
19
35
10
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?
field: 19035011
19
35
11
False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
field: 19035012
19
35
12
They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
field: 19035013
19
35
13
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
field: 19035014
19
35
14
I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
field: 19035015
19
35
15
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:
field: 19035016
19
35
16
With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
field: 19035017
19
35
17
Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
field: 19035018
19
35
18
I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
field: 19035019
19
35
19
Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
field: 19035020
19
35
20
For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
field: 19035021
19
35
21
Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
field: 19035022
19
35
22
This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
field: 19035023
19
35
23
Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
field: 19035024
19
35
24
Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
field: 19035025
19
35
25
Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
field: 19035026
19
35
26
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.
field: 19035027
19
35
27
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.
field: 19035028
19
35
28
And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.
field: 19036001
19
36
1
The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.
field: 19036002
19
36
2
For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
field: 19036003
19
36
3
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.
field: 19036004
19
36
4
He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
field: 19036005
19
36
5
Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.
field: 19036006
19
36
6
Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.
field: 19036007
19
36
7
How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
field: 19036008
19
36
8
They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
field: 19036009
19
36
9
For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
field: 19036010
19
36
10
O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
field: 19036011
19
36
11
Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
field: 19036012
19
36
12
There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
field: 19037001
19
37
1
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
field: 19037002
19
37
2
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
field: 19037003
19
37
3
Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
field: 19037004
19
37
4
Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
field: 19037005
19
37
5
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
field: 19037006
19
37
6
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
field: 19037007
19
37
7
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.
field: 19037008
19
37
8
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
field: 19037009
19
37
9
For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
field: 19037010
19
37
10
For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
field: 19037011
19
37
11
But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
field: 19037012
19
37
12
The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
field: 19037013
19
37
13
The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
field: 19037014
19
37
14
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.
field: 19037015
19
37
15
Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
field: 19037016
19
37
16
A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
field: 19037017
19
37
17
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
field: 19037018
19
37
18
The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
field: 19037019
19
37
19
They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
field: 19037020
19
37
20
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.
field: 19037021
19
37
21
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
field: 19037022
19
37
22
For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
field: 19037023
19
37
23
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
field: 19037024
19
37
24
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
field: 19037025
19
37
25
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
field: 19037026
19
37
26
He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
field: 19037027
19
37
27
Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
field: 19037028
19
37
28
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.
field: 19037029
19
37
29
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
field: 19037030
19
37
30
The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
field: 19037031
19
37
31
The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
field: 19037032
19
37
32
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
field: 19037033
19
37
33
The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
field: 19037034
19
37
34
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.
field: 19037035
19
37
35
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
field: 19037036
19
37
36
Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
field: 19037037
19
37
37
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
field: 19037038
19
37
38
But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
field: 19037039
19
37
39
But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
field: 19037040
19
37
40
And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
field: 19038001
19
38
1
O lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
field: 19038002
19
38
2
For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
field: 19038003
19
38
3
There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
field: 19038004
19
38
4
For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
field: 19038005
19
38
5
My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
field: 19038006
19
38
6
I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
field: 19038007
19
38
7
For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
field: 19038008
19
38
8
I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
field: 19038009
19
38
9
Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
field: 19038010
19
38
10
My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
field: 19038011
19
38
11
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
field: 19038012
19
38
12
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.
field: 19038013
19
38
13
But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
field: 19038014
19
38
14
Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
field: 19038015
19
38
15
For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
field: 19038016
19
38
16
For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
field: 19038017
19
38
17
For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
field: 19038018
19
38
18
For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
field: 19038019
19
38
19
But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
field: 19038020
19
38
20
They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.
field: 19038021
19
38
21
Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
field: 19038022
19
38
22
Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
field: 19039001
19
39
1
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.
field: 19039002
19
39
2
I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
field: 19039003
19
39
3
My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,
field: 19039004
19
39
4
LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.
field: 19039005
19
39
5
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.
field: 19039006
19
39
6
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.
field: 19039007
19
39
7
And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.
field: 19039008
19
39
8
Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
field: 19039009
19
39
9
I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.
field: 19039010
19
39
10
Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
field: 19039011
19
39
11
When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.
field: 19039012
19
39
12
Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
field: 19039013
19
39
13
O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
field: 19040001
19
40
1
I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
field: 19040002
19
40
2
He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
field: 19040003
19
40
3
And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
field: 19040005
19

5
Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
field: 19040006
19
40
6
Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
field: 19040007
19
40
7
Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
field: 19040008
19
40
8
I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
field: 19040009
19
40
9
I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
field: 19040010
19
40
10
I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
field: 19040011
19
40
11
Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
field: 19040012
19
40
12
For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
field: 19040013
19
40
13
Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
field: 19040014
19
40
14
Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
field: 19040015
19
40
15
Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
field: 19040016
19
40
16
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
field: 19040017
19
40
17
But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
field: 19041001
19
41
1
Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
field: 19041002
19
41
2
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.
field: 19041003
19
41
3
The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
field: 19041004
19
41
4
I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
field: 19041005
19
41
5
Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
field: 19041006
19
41
6
And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
field: 19041007
19
41
7
All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
field: 19041008
19

8
An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
field: 19041009
19

9
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
field: 19041010
19
41
10
But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
field: 19041011
19
41
11
By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
field: 19041012
19
41
12
And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
field: 19041013

13
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
field: 19042001

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
field: 19042002
19
42
2
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
field: 19042003
19
42
3
My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
field: 19042004
19
42
4
When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
field: 19042005
19
42
5
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
field: 19042006
19
42
6
O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
field: 19042007
19
42
7
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
field: 19042008
19
42
8
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.
field: 19042009
19
42
9
I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
field: 19042010
19
42
10
As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?
field: 19042011
19
42
11
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.
field: 19043001
19
43
1
Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
field: 19043002
19
43
2
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?
field: 19043003
19
43
3
O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
field: 19043004
19
43
4
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.
field: 19043005
19
43
5
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.
field: 19044001

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.
field: 19044002
19
44
2
How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.
field: 19044003
19
44
3
For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.
field: 19044004
19
44
4
Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
field: 19044005
19
44
5
Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
field: 19044006
19
44
6
For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
field: 19044007
19
44
7
But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.
field: 19044008
19
44
8
In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.
field: 19044009
19
44
9
But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.
field: 19044010
19
44
10
Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
field: 19044011
19
44
11
Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.
field: 19044012
19
44
12
Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.
field: 19044013
19
44
13
Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
field: 19044014
19
44
14
Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.
field: 19044015
19
44
15
My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
field: 19044016
19
44
16
For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.
field: 19044017
19
44
17
All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
field: 19044018
19
44
18
Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;
field: 19044019
19
44
19
Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
field: 19044020
19
44
20
If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
field: 19044021
19
44
21
Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
field: 19044022
19
44
22
Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
field: 19044023
19
44
23
Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.
field: 19044024
19
44
24
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
field: 19044025
19
44
25
For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
field: 19044026
19
44
26
Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
field: 19045001

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.
field: 19045002
19
45
2
Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
field: 19045003
19
45
3
Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
field: 19045004
19
45
4
And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
field: 19045005
19
45
5
Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
field: 19045006
19

6
Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
field: 19045007
19

7
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
field: 19045008
19
45
8
All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
field: 19045009
19

Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
field: 19045010
19
45
10
Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;
field: 19045011
19
45
11
So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
field: 19045012
19
45
12
And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
field: 19045013
19
45
13
The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
field: 19045014
19
45
14
She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
field: 19045015
19
45
15
With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.
field: 19045016
19
45
16
Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
field: 19045017
19
45
17
I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
field: 19046002
19

2
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
field: 19046003
19
46
3
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
field: 19046004
19

There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
field: 19046005

46
5
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
field: 19046006
19

The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
field: 19046007

7
The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
field: 19046008
19

Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
field: 19046009
19
46
9
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.
field: 19046010
19
46
10
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.
field: 19047003
19

He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet.
field: 19047004

He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.

Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.

God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
field: 19048003
19
48
3
God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
field: 19048004
19
48
4
For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
field: 19048005
19
48
5
They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.
field: 19048006
19
48
6
Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
field: 19048007
19
48
7
Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
field: 19048008

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.

We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
field: 19048010

10
According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
field: 19048011
19
48
11
Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
field: 19048012
19
48
12
Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
field: 19048013
19
48
13
Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
field: 19048014

For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.

Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:

19
49
2
Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
field: 19049003
19
49
3
My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
field: 19049004
19
49
4
I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
field: 19049005
19
49
5
Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
field: 19049006
19
49
6
They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
field: 19049007
19
49
7
None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
field: 19049008
19
49

(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
field: 19049009
19

9
That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
field: 19049010
19
49
10
For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
field: 19049011
19
49
11
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.
field: 19049012
19
49
12
Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
field: 19049013
19
49
13
This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
field: 19049014
19
49
14
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.
field: 19049015
19
49
15
But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
field: 19049016
19
49
16
Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
field: 19049017
19
49
17
For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
field: 19049018
19
49
18
Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
field: 19049019
19
49
19
He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
field: 19049020
19

20
Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.

The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
field: 19050002
19
50
2
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
field: 19050003
19
50
3
Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
field: 19050004
19
50
4
He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
field: 19050005
19
50
5
Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
field: 19050006
19
50
6
And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.
field: 19050007
19

7
Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.
field: 19050008
19
50
8
I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
field: 19050009
19
50
9
I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
field: 19050010
19
50
10
For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
field: 19050011
19
50
11
I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
field: 19050012
19
50
12
If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
field: 19050013
19
50
13
Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
field: 19050014
19
50
14
Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
field: 19050015
19
50
15
And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
field: 19050017
19
50
17
Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee.
field: 19050018
19
50
18
When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
field: 19050019
19
50
19
Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
field: 19050020
19
50
20
Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
field: 19050021
19
50
21
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.
field: 19050022
19
50
22
Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
field: 19050023

23
Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
field: 19051001
19
51
1
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
field: 19051002
19
51
2
Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
field: 19051003
19
51
3
For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
field: 19051004
19
51
4
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.
field: 19051005
19
51
5
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
field: 19051006
19
51
6
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
field: 19051007
19
51
7
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
field: 19051008
19
51
8
Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
field: 19051009
19
51
9
Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
field: 19051010
19
51
10
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
field: 19051011
19
51
11
Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
field: 19051012
19
51
12
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
field: 19051013
19
51
13
Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
field: 19051014
19
51
14
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
field: 19051015
19
51
15
O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
field: 19051016
19
51
16
For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
field: 19051017
19
51
17
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
field: 19051018
19
51
18
Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
field: 19051019
19
51
19
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.
field: 19052001
19
52
1
Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.
field: 19052002
19
52
2
The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
field: 19052003
19
52
3
Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
field: 19052004
19
52
4
Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
field: 19052005
19
52
5
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.
field: 19052006
19
52
6
The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
field: 19052007
19
52
7
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.
field: 19052008
19
52
8
But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
field: 19052009
19
52
9
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.
field: 19053001

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.
field: 19053002
19
53
2
God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
field: 19053003
19
53
3
Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
field: 19053004
19
53
4
Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
field: 19053005
19
53
5
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.
field: 19053006
19
53
6
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.
field: 19054001
19
54
1
Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
field: 19054002
19
54
2
Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
field: 19054003
19
54
3
For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
field: 19054004
19
54
4
Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
field: 19054005
19
54
5
He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth.
field: 19054006
19
54
6
I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.
field: 19054007
19
54
7
For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
field: 19055001
19
55
1
Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
field: 19055002
19
55
2
Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
field: 19055003
19
55
3
Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
field: 19055004
19
55
4
My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
field: 19055005
19
55
5
Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
field: 19055006
19
55
6
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
field: 19055007
19
55
7
Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.
field: 19055008
19
55
8
I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
field: 19055009
19
55
9
Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
field: 19055010
19
55
10
Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
field: 19055011
19
55
11
Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
field: 19055012
19
55
12
For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
field: 19055013
19
55
13
But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
field: 19055014
19
55
14
We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.
field: 19055015
19
55
15
Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
field: 19055016
19
55
16
As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
field: 19055017
19
55
17
Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
field: 19055018
19
55
18
He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
field: 19055019
19
55
19
God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
field: 19055020
19
55
20
He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.
field: 19055021
19
55
21
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
field: 19055022
19
55
22
Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
field: 19055023
19
55
23
But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
field: 19056001
19
56
1
Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
field: 19056002
19
56
2
Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.
field: 19056003
19
56
3
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
field: 19056004
19
56
4
In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
field: 19056005
19
56
5
Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
field: 19056006
19
56
6
They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
field: 19056007
19
56
7
Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
field: 19056008
19
56
8
Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
field: 19056009
19
56
9
When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
field: 19056010
19
56
10
In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.
field: 19056011
19
56
11
In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
field: 19056012
19
56
12
Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
field: 19056013
19
56
13
For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
field: 19057001
19
57
1
Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
field: 19057002
19
57
2
I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.
field: 19057003
19
57
3
He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
field: 19057004

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.
field: 19057005

5
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
field: 19057006
19
57
6
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.
field: 19057007
19
57
7
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
field: 19057008
19
57
8
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
field: 19057009
19
57
9
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
field: 19057010
19
57
10
For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
field: 19057011

11
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.
field: 19058001

1
Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
field: 19058002
19
58
2
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
field: 19058003
19
58
3
The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
field: 19058004
19
58
4
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
field: 19058005
19
58
5
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
field: 19058006
19
58
6
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
field: 19058007
19
58
7
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.
field: 19058008
19
58
8
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.
field: 19058009
19

9
Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
field: 19058010

The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
field: 19058011
19
58
11
So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
field: 19059001
19
59
1
Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
field: 19059002
19
59
2
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
field: 19059003
19
59
3
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.
field: 19059004
19
59
4
They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
field: 19059005
19
59
5
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.
field: 19059006
19
59
6
They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
field: 19059007
19
59
7
Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
field: 19059008
19
59
8
But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
field: 19059009
19
59
9
Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.
field: 19059010
19
59
10
The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
field: 19059011
19
59
11
Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
field: 19059012
19
59
12
For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.
field: 19059013
19
59
13
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.
field: 19059014
19
59
14
And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
field: 19059015
19
59
15
Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
field: 19059016
19
59
16
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.
field: 19059017
19
59
17
Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.

O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
field: 19060002
19
60
2
Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
field: 19060003
19
60
3
Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
field: 19060004
19
60
4
Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
field: 19060005
19
60
5
That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
field: 19060006
19

God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
field: 19060007
19
60
7
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
field: 19060008
19
60
8
Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
field: 19060009
19
60
9
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
field: 19060010
19
60
10
Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
field: 19060011
19
60
11
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
field: 19060012
19
60
12
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
field: 19061001
19
61
1
Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
field: 19061002
19
61
2
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.
field: 19061003
19
61
3
For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
field: 19061004
19
61
4
I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
field: 19061005
19
61
5
For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
field: 19061006
19
61
6
Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.
field: 19061007
19
61
7
He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
field: 19061008
19
61
8
So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
field: 19062001
19
62
1
Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
field: 19062002
19
62
2
He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
field: 19062003
19
62
3
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.
field: 19062004
19
62
4
They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
field: 19062005
19
62
5
My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
field: 19062006
19
62
6
He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
field: 19062007
19
62
7
In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
field: 19062008
19
62
8
Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
field: 19062009
19
62
9
Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
field: 19062010
19
62
10
Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
field: 19062011
19
62
11
God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
field: 19062012
19
62

Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

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;
field: 19063002
19
63
2
To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
field: 19063003
19
63
3
Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
field: 19063004
19
63
4
Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
field: 19063005
19
63
5
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
field: 19063006
19
63
6
When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
field: 19063007
19
63
7
Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
field: 19063008
19
63
8
My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
field: 19063009
19
63
9
But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
field: 19063010
19
63
10
They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
field: 19063011
19
63
11
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.
field: 19064001
19
64
1
Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
field: 19064002
19
64
2
Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
field: 19064003
19
64
3
Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
field: 19064004
19
64
4
That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
field: 19064005
19
64
5
They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
field: 19064006
19
64
6
They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
field: 19064007
19
64
7
But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
field: 19064008
19
64
8
So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
field: 19064009
19
64
9
And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
field: 19064010
19
64
10
The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
field: 19065001
19
65
1
Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
field: 19065002
19
65
2
O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
field: 19065003
19
65
3
Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
field: 19065004
19
65
4
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.
field: 19065005
19
65
5
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:
field: 19065006
19
65
6
Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
field: 19065007
19
65
7
Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
field: 19065008
19
65
8
They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
field: 19065009
19
65
9
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.
field: 19065010
19
65
10
Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
field: 19065011
19
65
11
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
field: 19065012
19
65
12
They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
field: 19065013
19
65
13
The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
field: 19066001
19
66
1
Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:
field: 19066002
19
66
2
Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.
field: 19066003
19
66
3
Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
field: 19066004
19
66
4
All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
field: 19066005
19
66
5
Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.
field: 19066006
19
66
6
He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
field: 19066007
19
66
7
He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
field: 19066008
19
66
8
O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
field: 19066009
19
66
9
Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to be moved.
field: 19066010
19
66
10
For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
field: 19066011
19
66
11
Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins.
field: 19066012
19
66
12
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.
field: 19066013
19
66
13
I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
field: 19066014
19
66
14
Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
field: 19066015
19
66
15
I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
field: 19066016
19
66
16
Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.
field: 19066017
19
66
17
I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.
field: 19066018
19
66
18
If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
field: 19066019
19
66
19
But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
field: 19066020
19
66
20
Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
field: 19067001
19
67
1
God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.
field: 19067002
19
67
2
That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.
field: 19067003
19
67
3
Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
field: 19067004
19
67
4
O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
field: 19067005
19
67
5
Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
field: 19067006
19
67
6
Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.
field: 19067007
19
67
7
God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
field: 19068001
19
68
1
Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
field: 19068002
19
68
2
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.
field: 19068003
19
68
3
But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
field: 19068004
19
68
4
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
field: 19068005
19
68
5
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
field: 19068006
19
68
6
God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
field: 19068007
19
68
7
O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
field: 19068008
19
68
8
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.
field: 19068009
19
68
9
Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
field: 19068010
19
68
10
Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
field: 19068011
19
68
11
The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
field: 19068012
19
68
12
Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
field: 19068013
19
68
13
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.
field: 19068014
19
68
14
When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
field: 19068015
19
68
15
The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.
field: 19068016
19
68
16
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.
field: 19068017
19
68
17
The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
field: 19068018
19
68
18
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.
field: 19068019
19
68
19
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.
field: 19068020
19
68
20
He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.
field: 19068021
19
68
21
But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
field: 19068022
19
68
22
The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
field: 19068023
19
68
23
That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
field: 19068024
19
68
24
They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
field: 19068025
19
68
25
The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
field: 19068026
19
68
26
Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
field: 19068027
19
68
27
There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
field: 19068028
19
68
28
Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
field: 19068029
19
68
29
Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
field: 19068030
19
68
30
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.
field: 19068031
19
68
31
Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
field: 19068032
19
68
32
Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:
field: 19068033
19
68
33
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.
field: 19068034
19
68
34
Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
field: 19068035
19
68
35
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.
field: 19069001
19
69
1
Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.
field: 19069002
19
69
2
I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
field: 19069003
19
69
3
I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
field: 19069004
19
69
4
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.
field: 19069005
19
69
5
O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
field: 19069006
19
69
6
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.
field: 19069007
19
69
7
Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
field: 19069008
19
69
8
I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
field: 19069009
19
69
9
For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
field: 19069010
19
69
10
When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
field: 19069011
19
69
11
I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
field: 19069012
19
69
12
They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
field: 19069013
19
69
13
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.
field: 19069014
19
69
14
Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
field: 19069015
19
69
15
Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
field: 19069016
19
69
16
Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
field: 19069017
19
69
17
And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
field: 19069018
19
69
18
Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
field: 19069019
19
69
19
Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
field: 19069020
19
69
20
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.
field: 19069021
19
69
21
They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
field: 19069022
19
69
22
Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
field: 19069023
19
69
23
Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
field: 19069024
19
69
24
Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
field: 19069025
19
69
25
Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
field: 19069026
19
69
26
For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
field: 19069027
19
69
27
Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
field: 19069028
19
69
28
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
field: 19069029
19
69
29
But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
field: 19069030
19
69
30
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
field: 19069031
19
69
31
This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
field: 19069032
19
69
32
The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
field: 19069033
19
69
33
For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
field: 19069034
19
69
34
Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
field: 19069035
19
69
35
For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
field: 19069036
19
69
36
The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
field: 19070001
19
70
1
MAKE HASTE, O GOD, TO DELIVER ME; MAKE HASTE TO HELP ME, O LORD.
field: 19070002
19
70
2
Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
field: 19070003
19
70
3
Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
field: 19070004
19
70
4
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
field: 19070005
19
70
5
But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
field: 19071001
19
71
1
In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
field: 19071002
19
71
2
Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
field: 19071003
19
71
3
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.
field: 19071004
19
71
4
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
field: 19071005
19
71
5
For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth.
field: 19071006
19
71
6
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.
field: 19071007
19
71
7
I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
field: 19071008
19
71
8
Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.
field: 19071009
19
71
9
Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
field: 19071010
19
71
10
For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
field: 19071011
19
71
11
Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
field: 19071012
19
71
12
O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
field: 19071013
19
71
13
Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
field: 19071014
19
71
14
But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
field: 19071015
19
71
15
My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
field: 19071016
19
71
16
I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
field: 19071017
19
71
17
O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
field: 19071018
19
71
18
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.
field: 19071019
19
71
19
Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!
field: 19071020
19
71
20
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.
field: 19071021
19
71
21
Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
field: 19071022
19
71
22
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.
field: 19071023
19
71
23
My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
field: 19071024
19
71
24
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.
field: 19072001
19
72
1
Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.
field: 19072002
19
72
2
He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
field: 19072003
19
72
3
The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
field: 19072004
19
72
4
He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
field: 19072005
19
72
5
They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
field: 19072006
19
72
6
He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.
field: 19072007
19
72
7
In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
field: 19072008
19
72
8
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
field: 19072009
19
72
9
They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
field: 19072010
19
72
10
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
field: 19072011
19
72
11
Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
field: 19072012
19
72
12
For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
field: 19072013
19
72
13
He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
field: 19072014
19
72
14
He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
field: 19072015
19
72
15
And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.
field: 19072016
19
72
16
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.
field: 19072017
19
72
17
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.
field: 19072018
19
72
18
Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
field: 19072019
19
72
19
And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.

The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
field: 19073002
19
73
2
But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
field: 19073003
19
73
3
For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
field: 19073004
19
73
4
For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
field: 19073005
19
73
5
They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
field: 19073006
19
73
6
Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
field: 19073007
19
73
7
Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
field: 19073008
19
73
8
They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
field: 19073009
19
73
9
They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
field: 19073010
19
73
10
Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
field: 19073011
19
73
11
And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
field: 19073012
19
73
12
Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
field: 19073013
19
73
13
Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
field: 19073014
19
73
14
For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
field: 19073015
19
73
15
If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
field: 19073016
19
73
16
When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
field: 19073017
19
73
17
Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
field: 19073018
19
73
18
Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
field: 19073019
19
73
19
How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
field: 19073020
19
73
20
As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
field: 19073021
19
73
21
Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
field: 19073022
19
73
22
So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
field: 19073023
19
73
23
Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
field: 19073024
19
73
24
Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
field: 19073025
19
73
25
Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
field: 19073026
19
73
26
My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
field: 19073027
19
73
27
For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
field: 19073028
19
73
28
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.
field: 19074001
19
74
1
O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
field: 19074002
19
74
2
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.
field: 19074003
19
74
3
Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
field: 19074004
19
74
4
Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
field: 19074005
19
74
5
A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
field: 19074006
19
74
6
But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
field: 19074007
19
74
7
They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
field: 19074008
19
74
8
They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
field: 19074009
19
74
9
We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
field: 19074010
19
74
10
O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
field: 19074011
19
74
11
Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.
field: 19074012
19
74
12
For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
field: 19074013
19
74
13
Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
field: 19074014
19
74
14
Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
field: 19074015
19
74
15
Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
field: 19074016
19
74
16
The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
field: 19074017
19
74
17
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
field: 19074018
19
74
18
Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
field: 19074019
19
74
19
O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
field: 19074020
19
74
20
Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
field: 19074021
19
74
21
O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.
field: 19074022
19
74
22
Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
field: 19074023
19
74
23
Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
field: 19075001
19
75
1
Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
field: 19075002
19
75
2
When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
field: 19075003
19
75
3
The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
field: 19075004
19
75
4
I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
field: 19075005
19
75
5
Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
field: 19075006
19
75
6
For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
field: 19075007
19
75
7
But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
field: 19075008
19
75
8
For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
field: 19075009
19
75
9
But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
field: 19075010
19
75
10
All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.
field: 19076002
19
76
2
In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
field: 19076003
19
76
3
There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
field: 19076004
19
76
4
Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
field: 19076005
19
76
5
The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
field: 19076006
19
76
6
At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
field: 19076007
19
76
7
Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
field: 19076008
19
76
8
Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
field: 19076009
19
76
9
When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
field: 19076010
19
76
10
Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
field: 19076011
19
76
11
Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
field: 19076012
19
76
12
He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
field: 19077001
19
77
1
I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
field: 19077002
19
77
2
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
field: 19077003
19
77
3
I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
field: 19077004
19
77
4
Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
field: 19077005
19
77
5
I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
field: 19077006
19
77
6
I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
field: 19077007
19
77
7
Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
field: 19077008
19
77
8
Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?
field: 19077009
19
77
9
Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
field: 19077010
19
77
10
And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
field: 19077011
19
77
11
I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
field: 19077012
19
77
12
I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
field: 19077013
19
77
13
Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
field: 19077014
19
77
14
Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
field: 19077015
19
77
15
Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
field: 19077016
19
77
16
The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
field: 19077017
19
77
17
The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
field: 19077018
19
77
18
The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
field: 19077019
19
77
19
Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
field: 19077020
19
77
20
Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
field: 19078001
19
78
1
Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
field: 19078002
19
78
2
I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
field: 19078003
19
78
3
Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
field: 19078004
19
78
4
We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
field: 19078005
19
78
5
For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
field: 19078006
19
78
6
That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
field: 19078007
19
78
7
That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
field: 19078008
19
78
8
And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
field: 19078009
19
78
9
The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
field: 19078010
19
78
10
They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
field: 19078011
19
78
11
And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
field: 19078012
19
78
12
Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
field: 19078013
19
78
13
He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
field: 19078014
19
78
14
In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
field: 19078015
19
78
15
He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
field: 19078016
19
78
16
He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
field: 19078017
19
78
17
And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
field: 19078018
19
78
18
And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
field: 19078019
19
78
19
Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
field: 19078020
19
78
20
Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
field: 19078021
19
78
21
Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
field: 19078022
19
78
22
Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
field: 19078023
19
78
23
Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
field: 19078024
19
78
24
And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
field: 19078025
19
78
25
Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
field: 19078026
19
78
26
He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
field: 19078027
19
78
27
He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
field: 19078028
19
78
28
And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
field: 19078029
19
78
29
So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
field: 19078030
19
78
30
They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,
field: 19078031
19
78
31
The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
field: 19078032
19
78
32
For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
field: 19078033
19
78
33
Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
field: 19078034
19
78
34
When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.
field: 19078035
19
78
35
And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
field: 19078036
19
78
36
Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
field: 19078037
19
78
37
For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
field: 19078038
19
78
38
But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
field: 19078039
19
78
39
For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
field: 19078040
19
78
40
How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!
field: 19078041
19
78
41
Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
field: 19078042
19
78
42
They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.
field: 19078043
19
78
43
How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan.
field: 19078044
19
78
44
And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
field: 19078045
19
78
45
He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
field: 19078046
19
78
46
He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
field: 19078047
19
78
47
He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
field: 19078048
19
78
48
He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
field: 19078049
19
78
49
He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.
field: 19078050
19
78
50
He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
field: 19078051
19
78
51
And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
field: 19078052
19
78
52
But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
field: 19078053
19
78
53
And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
field: 19078054
19
78
54
And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.
field: 19078055
19
78
55
He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
field: 19078056
19
78
56
Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:
field: 19078057
19
78
57
But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
field: 19078058
19
78
58
For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
field: 19078059
19
78
59
When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
field: 19078060
19
78
60
So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;
field: 19078061
19
78
61
And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.
field: 19078062
19
78
62
He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
field: 19078063
19
78
63
The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
field: 19078064
19
78
64
Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
field: 19078065
19
78
65
Then the LORD awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
field: 19078066
19
78
66
And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
field: 19078067
19
78
67
Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
field: 19078068
19
78
68
But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
field: 19078069
19
78
69
And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.
field: 19078070
19
78
70
He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
field: 19078071
19
78
71
From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
field: 19078072
19
78
72
So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
field: 19079001

1
O god, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
field: 19079002
19
79
2
The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
field: 19079003
19
79
3
Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
field: 19079004
19
79
4
We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
field: 19079005
19
79
5
How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
field: 19079006
19
79
6
Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
field: 19079007
19
79
7
For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
field: 19079008
19
79
8
O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
field: 19079009
19
79
9
Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.
field: 19079010
19
79
10
Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.
field: 19079011
19
79
11
Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;
field: 19079012
19
79
12
And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
field: 19079013
19
79
13
So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.
field: 19080001
19
80
1
Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
field: 19080002
19
80
2
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
field: 19080003
19
80
3
Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
field: 19080004
19
80
4
O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
field: 19080005
19
80
5
Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
field: 19080006
19
80
6
Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
field: 19080007
19
80
7
Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
field: 19080008
19
80
8
Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
field: 19080009
19
80
9
Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
field: 19080010
19
80
10
The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
field: 19080011
19
80
11
She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
field: 19080012
19
80
12
Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
field: 19080013
19
80
13
The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
field: 19080014
19
80
14
Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
field: 19080015
19
80
15
And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
field: 19080016
19
80
16
It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
field: 19080017
19
80
17
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
field: 19080018
19
80
18
So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
field: 19080019
19
80
19
Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
field: 19081001
19
81
1
Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
field: 19081002
19
81
2
Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
field: 19081003
19
81
3
Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
field: 19081004
19
81
4
For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
field: 19081005
19
81
5
This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
field: 19081006
19
81
6
I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
field: 19081007
19
81
7
Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
field: 19081008
19
81
8
Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
field: 19081009
19
81
9
There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
field: 19081010
19
81
10
I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
field: 19081011
19
81
11
But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
field: 19081012
19
81
12
So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
field: 19081013
19
81
13
Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
field: 19081014
19
81
14
I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
field: 19081015
19
81
15
The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
field: 19081016
19
81
16
He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
field: 19082001
19
82
1
God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
field: 19082002
19
82
2
How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
field: 19082003
19
82
3
Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
field: 19082004
19
82
4
Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
field: 19082005
19
82
5
They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
field: 19082006
19
82
6
I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
field: 19082007
19
82
7
But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
field: 19082008
19
82
8
Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
field: 19083001
19
83
1
Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
field: 19083002
19
83
2
For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
field: 19083003
19
83
3
They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
field: 19083004
19
83
4
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
field: 19083005
19
83
5
For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
field: 19083006
19
83
6
The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
field: 19083007
19
83
7
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
field: 19083008
19
83
8
Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
field: 19083009
19
83
9
Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
field: 19083010
19
83
10
Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
field: 19083011
19
83
11
Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
field: 19083012
19
83
12
Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
field: 19083013
19
83
13
O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
field: 19083014
19
83
14
As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
field: 19083015
19
83
15
So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
field: 19083016
19
83
16
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
field: 19083017
19
83
17
Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
field: 19083018
19
83
18
That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
field: 19084001
19
84
1
How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
field: 19084002
19
84
2
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
field: 19084003
19
84
3
Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
field: 19084004
19
84
4
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
field: 19084005
19
84
5
Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
field: 19084006
19
84
6
Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
field: 19084007
19
84
7
They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
field: 19084008
19
84
8
O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
field: 19084009
19
84
9
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
field: 19084010
19
84
10
For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
field: 19084011
19
84
11
For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
field: 19084012
19
84
12
O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
field: 19085001
19
85
1
Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
field: 19085002
19
85
2
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
field: 19085003
19
85
3
Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
field: 19085004
19
85
4
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
field: 19085005
19
85
5
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
field: 19085006
19
85
6
Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
field: 19085007
19
85
7
Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
field: 19085008
19
85
8
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.
field: 19085009
19
85
9
Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
field: 19085010
19
85
10
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
field: 19085011
19
85
11
Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
field: 19085012
19
85
12
Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
field: 19085013
19
85
13
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
field: 19086001
19
86
1
Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
field: 19086002
19
86
2
Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
field: 19086003
19
86
3
Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
field: 19086004
19
86
4
Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
field: 19086005
19
86
5
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
field: 19086006
19
86
6
Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
field: 19086007
19
86
7
In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
field: 19086008
19
86
8
Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
field: 19086009
19
86
9
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
field: 19086010
19
86
10
For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
field: 19086011
19
86
11
Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
field: 19086012
19
86
12
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
field: 19086013
19
86
13
For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
field: 19086014
19
86
14
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.
field: 19086015
19
86
15
But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
field: 19086016
19
86
16
O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
field: 19086017
19
86
17
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.

His foundation is in the holy mountains.
field: 19087002

The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
field: 19087003
19
87
3
Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
field: 19087004
19
87
4
I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.
field: 19087005
19
87
5
And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
field: 19087006
19
87
6
The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.
field: 19087007
19
87
7
As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
field: 19088001
19
88
1
O lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:
field: 19088002
19
88
2
Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
field: 19088003
19
88
3
For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.
field: 19088004
19
88
4
I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:
field: 19088005
19
88
5
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.
field: 19088006
19
88
6
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
field: 19088007
19
88
7
Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.
field: 19088008
19
88
8
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.
field: 19088009
19
88
9
Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
field: 19088010
19
88
10
Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.
field: 19088011
19
88
11
Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
field: 19088012
19
88
12
Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
field: 19088013
19

But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
field: 19088014
19
88
14
LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?
field: 19088015
19
88
15
I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
field: 19088016
19
88
16
Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
field: 19088017
19
88
17
They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
field: 19088018
19
88
18
Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
field: 19089001
19
89
1
I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
field: 19089002
19
89
2
For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
field: 19089003
19
89
3
I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,
field: 19089004
19
89
4
Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.
field: 19089005
19
89
5
And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
field: 19089006
19
89
6
For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?
field: 19089007
19
89
7
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.
field: 19089008
19
89
8
O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
field: 19089009
19
89
9
Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
field: 19089010
19
89
10
Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
field: 19089011
19
89
11
The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
field: 19089012
19
89
12
The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
field: 19089013
19
89
13
Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
field: 19089014
19
89
14
Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
field: 19089015
19
89
15
Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
field: 19089016
19
89
16
In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
field: 19089017
19
89
17
For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
field: 19089018
19
89
18
For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
field: 19089019
19
89
19
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.
field: 19089020
19
89
20
I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
field: 19089021
19
89
21
With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.
field: 19089022
19
89
22
The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
field: 19089023
19
89
23
And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
field: 19089024
19
89
24
But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
field: 19089025
19
89
25
I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
field: 19089026
19
89
26
He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
field: 19089027
19
89
27
Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
field: 19089028
19
89
28
My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
field: 19089029
19
89
29
His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
field: 19089030
19
89
30
If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
field: 19089031
19
89
31
If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
field: 19089032
19
89
32
Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
field: 19089033
19
89
33
Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
field: 19089034
19
89
34
My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
field: 19089035
19
89
35
Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
field: 19089036
19
89
36
His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
field: 19089037
19
89
37
It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
field: 19089038
19
89
38
But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
field: 19089039
19
89
39
Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
field: 19089040
19
89
40
Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.
field: 19089041
19
89
41
All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.
field: 19089042
19
89
42
Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
field: 19089043
19
89
43
Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.
field: 19089044
19
89
44
Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
field: 19089045
19
89
45
The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.
field: 19089046
19
89
46
How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?
field: 19089047
19
89
47
Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
field: 19089048
19
89
48
What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
field: 19089049
19
89
49
Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?
field: 19089050
19
89
50
Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;
field: 19089051
19
89
51
Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
field: 19089052
19
89
52
Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
field: 19090001

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
field: 19090002
19
90
2
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
field: 19090003
19
90
3
Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
field: 19090004
19
90
4
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
field: 19090005
19
90
5
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
field: 19090006
19
90
6
In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
field: 19090007
19
90
7
For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
field: 19090008
19
90
8
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
field: 19090009
19
90
9
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
field: 19090010
19
90
10
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.
field: 19090011
19
90
11
Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
field: 19090012
19
90
12
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
field: 19090013
19
90
13
Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
field: 19090014
19
90
14
O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
field: 19090015
19
90
15
Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
field: 19090016
19
90
16
Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
field: 19090017
19
90
17
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.
field: 19091001
19
91
1
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
field: 19091002
19
91
2
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
field: 19091003
19
91
3
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
field: 19091004
19
91
4
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
field: 19091005
19
91
5
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
field: 19091006
19
91
6
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
field: 19091007
19
91
7
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
field: 19091008
19
91
8
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
field: 19091009
19
91
9
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
field: 19091010
19
91
10
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
field: 19091011
19
91
11
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
field: 19091012
19
91
12
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
field: 19091013
19
91
13
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
field: 19091014
19
91
14
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.
field: 19091015
19
91
15
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
field: 19091016
19
91
16
With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH:
field: 19092002
19
92
2
To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
field: 19092003
19
92
3
Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
field: 19092004
19
92
4
For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
field: 19092005
19
92
5
O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
field: 19092006
19
92
6
A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
field: 19092007
19
92
7
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:
field: 19092008
19
92
8
But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.
field: 19092009
19
92
9
For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
field: 19092010
19
92
10
But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
field: 19092011
19
92
11
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.
field: 19092012
19
92
12
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
field: 19092013
19
92
13
Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
field: 19092014
19
92
14
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
field: 19092015
19
92
15
To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
field: 19093001
19
93
1
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.
field: 19093002
19
93
2
Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
field: 19093003
19
93
3
The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
field: 19093004
19
93
4
The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
field: 19093005
19
93
5
Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.
field: 19094001
19
94
1
O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
field: 19094002
19
94
2
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
field: 19094003
19
94
3
LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
field: 19094004
19
94
4
How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
field: 19094005
19
94
5
They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.
field: 19094006
19
94
6
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
field: 19094007
19
94
7
Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
field: 19094008
19
94
8
Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
field: 19094009
19
94
9
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
field: 19094010
19
94
10
He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
field: 19094011
19
94
11
The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
field: 19094012
19
94
12
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
field: 19094013
19
94
13
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
field: 19094014
19
94
14
For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
field: 19094015
19
94
15
But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
field: 19094016
19
94
16
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
field: 19094017
19
94
17
Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
field: 19094018
19
94
18
When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
field: 19094019
19
94
19
In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
field: 19094020
19
94
20
Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
field: 19094021
19
94
21
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
field: 19094022
19
94
22
But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
field: 19094023
19
94
23
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.
field: 19095001
19
95
1
O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
field: 19095002
19
95
2
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
field: 19095003
19
95
3
For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
field: 19095004
19
95
4
In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
field: 19095005
19
95
5
The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
field: 19095006
19
95
6
O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
field: 19095007
19
95
7
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,
field: 19095008
19
95
8
Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
field: 19095009
19
95
9
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
field: 19095010
19
95
10
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:
field: 19095011
19
95
11
Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
field: 19096001
19
96
1
O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
field: 19096002
19
96
2
Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
field: 19096003
19
96
3
Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
field: 19096004
19
96
4
For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
field: 19096005
19
96
5
For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
field: 19096006
19
96
6
Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
field: 19096007
19
96
7
Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
field: 19096008
19
96
8
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
field: 19096009
19
96
9
O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
field: 19096010
19
96
10
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.
field: 19096011
19
96
11
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
field: 19096012
19
96
12
Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
field: 19096013
19
96
13
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.
field: 19097001
19
97
1
The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
field: 19097002
19
97
2
Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
field: 19097003
19
97
3
A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
field: 19097004
19
97
4
His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
field: 19097005
19
97
5
The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
field: 19097006
19
97
6
The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
field: 19097007

Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.

Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.
field: 19097009

For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.
field: 19097010

Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

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.
field: 19098002

The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.
field: 19098003

He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.

With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King.

The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.

Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.

He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.
field: 19099008

99
8
Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.
field: 19101002
19

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.
field: 19101003
19
101
3
I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
field: 19101004
19
101
4
A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
field: 19101005
19
101
5
Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
field: 19101006
19
101
6
Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
field: 19101007
19
101
7
He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
field: 19101008
19
101
8
I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.
field: 19102002
19

2
Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.
field: 19102003
19
102
3
For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.
field: 19102004
19
102
4
My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
field: 19102005
19
102
5
By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
field: 19102006
19
102
6
I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
field: 19102007
19
102
7
I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
field: 19102008
19
102
8
Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.
field: 19102009
19
102
9
For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.
field: 19102010
19
102
10
Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
field: 19102011
19
102
11
My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
field: 19102012
19
102
12
But thou, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.
field: 19102013
19
102
13
Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
field: 19102014
19
102
14
For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.
field: 19102015
19
102
15
So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
field: 19102016
19
102
16
When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
field: 19102017
19
102
17
He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
field: 19102018
19
102
18
This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
field: 19102019
19
102
19
For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
field: 19102020
19
102
20
To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
field: 19102021
19
102
21
To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
field: 19102022
19
102
22
When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
field: 19102023
19
102
23
He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
field: 19102024
19
102
24
I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.
field: 19102025
19
102
25
Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
field: 19102026
19
102
26
They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
field: 19102027
19
102
27
But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
field: 19102028
19
102
28
The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
field: 19103001

Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
field: 19103002
19

2
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
field: 19103003
19
103
3
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
field: 19103004
19
103
4
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
field: 19103005
19
103
5
Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
field: 19103006
19
103
6
The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
field: 19103007
19
103
7
He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
field: 19103008
19
103
8
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
field: 19103009
19
103
9
He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
field: 19103010
19
103
10
He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
field: 19103011
19
103
11
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
field: 19103012
19
103
12
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
field: 19103013
19
103
13
Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
field: 19103014
19
103
14
For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
field: 19103015
19
103
15
As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
field: 19103016
19
103
16
For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
field: 19103017
19
103
17
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
field: 19103018
19
103
18
To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
field: 19103019
19
103
19
The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
field: 19103020
19
103
20
Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
field: 19103021
19
103
21
Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
field: 19103022
19
103

Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
field: 19104001

Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
field: 19104002
19
104
2
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
field: 19104003
19
104
3
Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
field: 19104004
19
104
4
Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
field: 19104005
19
104
5
Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
field: 19104006
19
104
6
Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
field: 19104007
19
104
7
At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
field: 19104008
19
104
8
They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
field: 19104009
19
104
9
Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
field: 19104010
19
104
10
He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
field: 19104011
19
104
11
They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
field: 19104012
19
104
12
By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
field: 19104013
19
104
13
He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
field: 19104014
19
104
14
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
field: 19104015
19
104
15
And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
field: 19104016
19
104
16
The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
field: 19104017
19
104
17
Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
field: 19104018
19
104
18
The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
field: 19104019
19
104
19
He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
field: 19104020
19
104
20
Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
field: 19104021
19
104
21
The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
field: 19104022
19
104
22
The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
field: 19104023
19
104
23
Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
field: 19104024
19
104
24
O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
field: 19104025
19
104
25
So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
field: 19104026
19
104
26
There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
field: 19104027
19
104
27
These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
field: 19104028
19
104
28
That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
field: 19104029
19
104
29
Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
field: 19104030
19
104
30
Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
field: 19104031
19
104
31
The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
field: 19104032
19
104
32
He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
field: 19104033
19
104
33
I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
field: 19104034
19
104
34
My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
field: 19104035
19
104
35
Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.
field: 19105001
19
105
1
O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
field: 19105002
19
105
2
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
field: 19105003
19
105
3
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
field: 19105004
19
105
4
Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
field: 19105005
19
105
5
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
field: 19105006
19
105
6
O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
field: 19105007
19
105
7
He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
field: 19105008
19
105
8
He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
field: 19105009
19
105
9
Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
field: 19105010
19
105
10
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
field: 19105011
19
105
11
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
field: 19105012
19
105
12
When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
field: 19105013
19
105
13
When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;
field: 19105014
19
105
14
He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
field: 19105015
19
105
15
Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
field: 19105016
19
105
16
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
field: 19105017
19
105
17
He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
field: 19105018
19
105
18
Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
field: 19105019
19
105
19
Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
field: 19105020
19
105
20
The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
field: 19105021
19
105
21
He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
field: 19105022
19
105
22
To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
field: 19105023
19
105
23
Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
field: 19105024
19
105
24
And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
field: 19105025
19
105
25
He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
field: 19105026
19
105
26
He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
field: 19105027
19
105
27
They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
field: 19105028
19
105
28
He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
field: 19105029
19
105
29
He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
field: 19105030
19
105
30
Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
field: 19105031
19
105
31
He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.
field: 19105032
19
105
32
He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
field: 19105033
19
105
33
He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.
field: 19105034
19
105
34
He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
field: 19105035
19
105
35
And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
field: 19105036
19
105
36
He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
field: 19105037
19
105
37
He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
field: 19105038
19
105
38
Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
field: 19105039
19
105
39
He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
field: 19105040
19
105
40
The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
field: 19105041
19
105
41
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

19
105
42
For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
field: 19105043
19
105
43
And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
field: 19105044
19
105
44
And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
field: 19105045
19
105
45
That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
field: 19106001
19
106
1
Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
field: 19106002
19
106
2
Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?
field: 19106003
19
106
3
Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.
field: 19106004
19
106
4
Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;
field: 19106005
19
106
5
That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.
field: 19106006
19
106
6
We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
field: 19106007
19
106
7
Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.
field: 19106008
19
106
8
Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
field: 19106009
19
106
9
He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
field: 19106010
19
106
10
And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
field: 19106011
19
106
11
And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
field: 19106012
19
106
12
Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
field: 19106013
19
106
13
They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
field: 19106014
19
106
14
But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
field: 19106015
19
106
15
And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
field: 19106016
19
106
16
They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.
field: 19106017
19
106
17
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram.
field: 19106018
19
106
18
And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
field: 19106019
19
106
19
They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
field: 19106020
19
106
20
Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
field: 19106021
19
106
21
They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
field: 19106022
19
106
22
Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.
field: 19106023
19
106
23
Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
field: 19106024
19
106
24
Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:
field: 19106025
19
106
25
But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
field: 19106026
19
106
26
Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:
field: 19106027
19
106
27
To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
field: 19106028
19
106
28
They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
field: 19106029
19
106
29
Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.
field: 19106030
19
106
30
Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.
field: 19106031
19
106
31
And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
field: 19106032
19
106
32
They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
field: 19106033
19
106
33
Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
field: 19106034
19
106
34
They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:
field: 19106035
19
106
35
But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
field: 19106036
19
106
36
And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
field: 19106037
19
106
37
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
field: 19106038
19
106
38
And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
field: 19106039
19
106
39
Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
field: 19106040
19
106
40
Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
field: 19106041
19
106
41
And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
field: 19106042
19
106
42
Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
field: 19106043
19
106
43
Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
field: 19106044
19
106
44
Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:
field: 19106045
19
106
45
And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
field: 19106046
19
106
46
He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.
field: 19106047
19
106
47
Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.
field: 19106048
19
106
48
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.
field: 19107001
19
107
1
O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
field: 19107002
19
107
2
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
field: 19107003
19
107
3
And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
field: 19107004
19
107
4
They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
field: 19107005
19
107
5
Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
field: 19107006
19
107
6
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
field: 19107007
19
107
7
And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
field: 19107008
19
107
8
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
field: 19107009
19
107
9
For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
field: 19107010
19
107
10
Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
field: 19107011
19
107
11
Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
field: 19107012
19
107
12
Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
field: 19107013
19
107
13
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
field: 19107014
19
107
14
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
field: 19107015
19
107
15
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
field: 19107016
19
107
16
For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
field: 19107017
19
107
17
Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
field: 19107018
19
107
18
Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
field: 19107019
19
107
19
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
field: 19107020
19
107
20
He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
field: 19107021
19
107
21
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
field: 19107022
19
107
22
And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
field: 19107023
19
107
23
They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
field: 19107024
19
107
24
These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
field: 19107025
19
107
25
For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
field: 19107026
19
107
26
They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
field: 19107027
19
107
27
They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end.
field: 19107028
19
107
28
Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
field: 19107029
19
107
29
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
field: 19107030
19
107
30
Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
field: 19107031
19
107
31
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
field: 19107032
19
107
32
Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
field: 19107033
19
107
33
He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;
field: 19107034
19
107
34
A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
field: 19107035
19
107
35
He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
field: 19107036
19
107
36
And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
field: 19107037
19
107
37
And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
field: 19107038
19
107
38
He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
field: 19107039
19
107
39
Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
field: 19107040
19
107
40
He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
field: 19107041
19
107
41
Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
field: 19107042
19
107
42
The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
field: 19107043
19
107
43
Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
field: 19108001
19
108
1
O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
field: 19108002
19
108
2
Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
field: 19108003
19
108
3
I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
field: 19108004
19
108
4
For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
field: 19108005
19
108
5
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
field: 19108006
19
108
6
That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
field: 19108007
19
108
7
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
field: 19108008
19
108
8
Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
field: 19108009
19
108
9
Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
field: 19108010
19
108
10
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
field: 19108011
19
108
11
Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
field: 19108012
19
108
12
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
field: 19108013
19
108
13
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
field: 19109001
19
109
1
Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
field: 19109002
19
109
2
For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
field: 19109003
19
109
3
They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
field: 19109004
19
109
4
For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
field: 19109005
19
109
5
And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
field: 19109006
19
109
6
Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
field: 19109007
19
109
7
When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
field: 19109008
19
109
8
Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
field: 19109009
19
109
9
Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
field: 19109010
19
109
10
Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
field: 19109011
19
109
11
Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
field: 19109012
19
109
12
Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
field: 19109013
19
109
13
Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
field: 19109014
19
109
14
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
field: 19109015
19
109
15
Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
field: 19109016
19
109
16
Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
field: 19109017
19
109
17
As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
field: 19109018
19
109
18
As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
field: 19109019
19
109
19
Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
field: 19109020
19
109
20
Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
field: 19109021
19
109
21
But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.
field: 19109022
19
109
22
For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
field: 19109023
19
109
23
I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
field: 19109024
19
109
24
My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
field: 19109025
19
109
25
I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
field: 19109026
19
109
26
Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
field: 19109027
19
109
27
That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.
field: 19109028
19
109
28
Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
field: 19109029
19
109
29
Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
field: 19109030
19
109
30
I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
field: 19109031
19
109
31
For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.
field: 19110001
19
110
1
The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
field: 19110002
19
110
2
The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
field: 19110003
19
110
3
Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
field: 19110004
19
110
4
The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
field: 19110005
19
110
5
The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
field: 19110006
19
110
6
He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
field: 19110007
19
110
7
He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
field: 19111001
19
111
1
Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
field: 19111002
19
111
2
The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
field: 19111003
19
111
3
His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
field: 19111004
19
111
4
He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
field: 19111005
19
111
5
He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.
field: 19111006
19
111
6
He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
field: 19111007
19
111
7
The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
field: 19111008
19
111
8
They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
field: 19111009
19
111
9
He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
field: 19111010
19
111
10
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.
field: 19112001
19
112
1
Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
field: 19112002
19
112
2
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
field: 19112003
19
112
3
Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
field: 19112004
19
112
4
Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
field: 19112005
19
112
5
A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
field: 19112006
19
112
6
Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
field: 19112007
19

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
field: 19112009
19

9
He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
field: 19112010
19

10
The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.

Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
field: 19113003

113
3
From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised.
field: 19113004
19
113
4
The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
field: 19113005
19
113
5
Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,
field: 19113006
19
113
6
Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
field: 19113007
19
113
7
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
field: 19113008
19
113
8
That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
field: 19113009
19

He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
field: 19114002
19
114
2
Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
field: 19114003
19
114
3
The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
field: 19114004
19
114
4
The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
field: 19114005
19
114
5
What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
field: 19114006
19
114
6
Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
field: 19114007
19
114
7
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
field: 19114008
19
114
8
Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
field: 19115001
19

1
Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.
field: 19115002
19
115
2
Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
field: 19115003
19
115
3
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
field: 19115004
19
115
4
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
field: 19115005
19
115
5
They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
field: 19115006
19
115
6
They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
field: 19115007
19
115
7
They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
field: 19115008
19
115
8
They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
field: 19115009
19
115
9
O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
field: 19115010
19
115
10
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
field: 19115011
19
115
11
Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
field: 19115012
19
115
12
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.
field: 19115013
19
115
13
He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
field: 19115014
19
115
14
The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
field: 19115015
19
115
15
Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
field: 19115016
19
115
16
The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
field: 19115017
19
115
17
The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
field: 19115018
19
115
18
But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.
field: 19116001

116
1
I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
field: 19116002
19
116
2
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
field: 19116003
19
116
3
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
field: 19116004
19
116
4
Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
field: 19116005
19
116
5
Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
field: 19116006
19
116
6
The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
field: 19116007
19
116
7
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
field: 19116008
19
116
8
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
field: 19116009
19
116
9
I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
field: 19116010
19
116
10
I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
field: 19116011
19
116
11
I said in my haste, All men are liars.
field: 19116012
19
116
12
What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
field: 19116013
19
116
13
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
field: 19116014
19
116
14
I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
field: 19116015
19
116
15
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
field: 19116016
19
116
16
O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
field: 19116017
19
116
17
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
field: 19116018
19
116
18
I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
field: 19116019
19
116
19
In the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
field: 19117001
19
117

O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
field: 19117002
19
117
2
For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
field: 19118001
19
118
1
O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
field: 19118002
19
118
2
Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
field: 19118003
19
118
3
Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
field: 19118004
19
118
4
Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
field: 19118005
19
118
5
I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
field: 19118006
19
118
6
The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
field: 19118007
19
118
7
The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
field: 19118008
19
118
8
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
field: 19118009
19
118
9
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
field: 19118010
19
118
10
All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
field: 19118011
19
118
11
They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
field: 19118012
19
118
12
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.
field: 19118013
19
118
13
Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
field: 19118014
19
118
14
The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
field: 19118015
19
118
15
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
field: 19118016
19
118
16
The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
field: 19118017
19
118
17
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
field: 19118018
19
118
18
The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
field: 19118019
19
118
19
Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
field: 19118020
19
118
20
This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
field: 19118021
19
118
21
I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
field: 19118022
19
118
22
The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
field: 19118023
19

23
This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
field: 19118024
19
118
24
This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
field: 19118025

Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
field: 19118026

Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.

O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
field: 19119006
19

Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
field: 19119007

I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
field: 19119008
19
119

I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.

Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
field: 19119010
19
119
10
With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
field: 19119011
19
119
11
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
field: 19119012
19
119
12
Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.
field: 19119013
19
119
13
With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
field: 19119014
19
119
14
I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.
field: 19119015
19
119
15
I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
field: 19119016
19
119
16
I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
field: 19119017
19
119
17
Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.
field: 19119018
19
119
18
Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
field: 19119019
19
119
19
I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
field: 19119020
19
119
20
My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.
field: 19119021
19
119
21
Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.
field: 19119022
19
119
22
Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.
field: 19119023
19
119
23
Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.
field: 19119024
19
119
24
Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.
field: 19119025
19
119
25
My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.
field: 19119026
19
119
26
I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.
field: 19119027
19
119
27
Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
field: 19119028
19
119
28
My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.
field: 19119029
19
119
29
Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.
field: 19119030
19
119
30
I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.
field: 19119031
19
119
31
I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.
field: 19119032
19
119
32
I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
field: 19119033
19
119
33
Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.
field: 19119034
19
119
34
Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
field: 19119035
19
119
35
Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.
field: 19119036
19
119
36
Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.
field: 19119037
19
119
37
Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.
field: 19119038
19
119
38
Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.
field: 19119039
19
119
39
Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.
field: 19119040
19
119
40
Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.
field: 19119041
19
119
41
Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.
field: 19119042
19
119
42
So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.
field: 19119043
19
119
43
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
field: 19119044
19
119
44
So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
field: 19119045
19
119
45
And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
field: 19119046
19
119
46
I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.
field: 19119047
19
119
47
And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.
field: 19119048
19
119
48
My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.
field: 19119049
19
119
49
Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
field: 19119050
19
119
50
This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.
field: 19119051
19
119
51
The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.
field: 19119052
19
119
52
I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.
field: 19119053
19
119
53
Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
field: 19119054
19
119
54
Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
field: 19119055
19
119
55
I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.
field: 19119056
19
119
56
This I had, because I kept thy precepts.
field: 19119057
19
119
57
Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.
field: 19119058
19
119
58
I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.
field: 19119059
19
119
59
I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
field: 19119060
19
119
60
I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
field: 19119061
19
119
61
The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
field: 19119062
19
119
62
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.
field: 19119063
19
119
63
I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
field: 19119064
19
119
64
The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
field: 19119065
19
119
65
Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.
field: 19119066
19
119
66
Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
field: 19119067
19
119
67
Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
field: 19119068
19
119
68
Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
field: 19119069
19
119
69
The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
field: 19119070
19
119
70
Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.
field: 19119071
19
119
71
It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
field: 19119072
19
119
72
The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
field: 19119073
19
119
73
Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
field: 19119074
19
119
74
They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.
field: 19119075
19
119
75
I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
field: 19119076
19
119
76
Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
field: 19119077
19
119
77
Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
field: 19119078
19
119
78
Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
field: 19119079
19
119
79
Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.
field: 19119080
19
119
80
Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.

My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.
field: 19119082
19
119
82
Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
field: 19119083
19
119
83
For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
field: 19119084
19
119
84
How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
field: 19119085
19
119
85
The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.
field: 19119086
19
119
86
All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.
field: 19119087
19
119
87
They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.
field: 19119088
19
119
88
Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.
field: 19119089
19
119
89
For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
field: 19119090
19
119
90
Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
field: 19119091
19
119
91
They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.
field: 19119092
19
119
92
Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
field: 19119093
19
119
93
I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.
field: 19119094
19
119
94
I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts.
field: 19119095
19
119
95
The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.
field: 19119096
19
119
96
I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.
field: 19119097
19
119
97
O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
field: 19119098
19
119
98
Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
field: 19119099
19
119
99
I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
field: 19119100
19
119
100
I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
field: 19119101
19
119
101
I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
field: 19119102
19
119
102
I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
field: 19119103
19
119
103
How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
field: 19119104
19
119
104
Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
field: 19119105
19
119
105
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
field: 19119106
19
119
106
I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
field: 19119107
19
119
107
I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.
field: 19119108
19
119
108
Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.
field: 19119109
19
119
109
My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.
field: 19119110
19
119
110
The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.
field: 19119111
19
119
111
Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
field: 19119112
19
119
112
I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.
field: 19119113
19
119
113
I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.
field: 19119114
19
119
114
Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
field: 19119115
19
119
115
Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.
field: 19119116
19
119
116
Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
field: 19119117
19
119
117
Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.
field: 19119118
19
119
118
Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood.
field: 19119119
19
119
119
Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.
field: 19119120
19
119
120
My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
field: 19119121
19
119
121
I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.
field: 19119122
19
119
122
Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.
field: 19119123
19
119
123
Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.
field: 19119124
19
119
124
Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.
field: 19119125
19
119
125
I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.
field: 19119126
19
119
126
It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.
field: 19119127
19
119
127
Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
field: 19119128
19
119
128
Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.
field: 19119129
19
119
129
Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
field: 19119130
19
119
130
The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
field: 19119131
19
119
131
I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
field: 19119132
19
119
132
Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
field: 19119133
19
119
133
Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
field: 19119134
19
119
134
Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
field: 19119135
19
119
135
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
field: 19119136
19
119
136
Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
field: 19119137
19
119
137
Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.
field: 19119138
19
119
138
Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.
field: 19119139
19
119
139
My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words.
field: 19119140
19
119
140
Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
field: 19119141
19
119
141
I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.
field: 19119142
19
119
142
Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
field: 19119143
19
119
143
Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.
field: 19119144
19
119
144
The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
field: 19119145
19
119
145
I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD: I will keep thy statutes.
field: 19119146
19
119
146
I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.
field: 19119147
19
119
147
I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.
field: 19119148
19
119
148
Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
field: 19119149
19
119
149
Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.
field: 19119150
19
119
150
They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
field: 19119151
19
119
151
Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.
field: 19119152
19
119
152
Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
field: 19119153
19
119
153
Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.
field: 19119154
19
119
154
Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.
field: 19119155
19
119
155
Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
field: 19119156
19
119
156
Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.
field: 19119157
19
119
157
Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies.
field: 19119158
19
119
158
I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.
field: 19119159
19
119
159
Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.
field: 19119160
19
119
160
Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
field: 19119161
19
119
161
Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.
field: 19119162
19
119
162
I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
field: 19119163
19
119
163
I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love.
field: 19119164
19
119
164
Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.
field: 19119165
19
119
165
Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
field: 19119166
19
119
166
LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments.
field: 19119167
19
119
167
My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
field: 19119168
19
119
168
I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways are before thee.
field: 19119169
19
119
169
Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word.
field: 19119170
19
119
170
Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word.
field: 19119171
19
119
171
My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.
field: 19119172
19
119
172
My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.
field: 19119173
19
119
173
Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.
field: 19119174
19
119
174
I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight.
field: 19119175
19
119
175
Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.
field: 19119176
19
119
176
I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.
field: 19120001
19
120
1
In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
field: 19120002
19
120
2
Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
field: 19120003
19
120
3
What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
field: 19120004

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
field: 19120005

120
5
Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
field: 19120006
19
120
6
My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
field: 19120007
19
120
7
I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
field: 19121001
19
121
1
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
field: 19121002
19
121
2
My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
field: 19121003
19
121
3
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
field: 19121004
19
121
4
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
field: 19121005
19
121
5
The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
field: 19121006
19
121
6
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
field: 19121007
19
121
7
The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
field: 19121008
19
121
8
The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
field: 19122001
19
122
1
I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
field: 19122002
19
122
2
Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
field: 19122003
19
122
3
Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
field: 19122004
19
122
4
Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
field: 19122005
19
122
5
For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
field: 19122006
19
122
6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
field: 19122007
19
122
7
Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
field: 19122008
19
122
8
For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
field: 19122009
19
122

Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
field: 19123001
19
123
1
Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
field: 19123002
19
123
2
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.
field: 19123003
19
123
3
Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
field: 19123004
19
123
4
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
field: 19124001
19
124
1
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
field: 19124002
19
124
2
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
field: 19124003
19
124
3
Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
field: 19124004
19
124
4
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
field: 19124005
19
124
5
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
field: 19124006
19
124
6
Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
field: 19124007
19
124
7
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
field: 19124008
19
124
8
Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
field: 19125001
19
125
1
They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
field: 19125002
19
125
2
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
field: 19125003
19
125
3
For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
field: 19125004
19
125
4
Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
field: 19125005
19
125
5
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.
field: 19126001
19
126
1
When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
field: 19126002
19
126
2
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.
field: 19126003
19
126
3
The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
field: 19126004
19
126
4
Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.
field: 19126005
19
126
5
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
field: 19126006
19
126
6
He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
field: 19127001
19
127
1
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.
field: 19127002
19
127
2
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.
field: 19127003
19
127
3
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
field: 19127004
19
127
4
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
field: 19127005
19
127
5
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.
field: 19128001
19
128
1
Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
field: 19128002
19
128
2
For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
field: 19128003
19
128
3
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
field: 19128004
19
128
4
Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
field: 19128005
19
128
5
The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
field: 19128006
19
128
6
Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.
field: 19129001
19

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
field: 19129002
19
129
2
Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
field: 19129003
19
129
3
The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
field: 19129004
19
129
4
The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
field: 19129005
19
129
5
Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
field: 19129006
19
129
6
Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
field: 19129007
19
129
7
Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
field: 19129008
19
129
8
Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
field: 19130001
19
130
1
Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.
field: 19130002
19
130
2
Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
field: 19130003
19
130
3
If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
field: 19130004
19
130
4
But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
field: 19130005
19
130
5
I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
field: 19130006
19
130
6
My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

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.
field: 19131002
19
131
2
Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.
field: 19131003
19

Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.

Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:
field: 19132002
19
132
2
How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;
field: 19132003
19
132
3
Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;
field: 19132004
19
132
4
I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,
field: 19132005
19
132
5
Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.
field: 19132006
19
132
6
Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.
field: 19132007
19
132
7
We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.
field: 19132008
19
132
8
Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
field: 19132009
19
132
9
Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.
field: 19132010
19
132
10
For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.
field: 19132011
19

11
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.
field: 19132012
19
132
12
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.
field: 19132013
19
132
13
For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
field: 19132014
19
132
14
This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
field: 19132015
19
132
15
I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
field: 19132016
19
132
16
I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
field: 19132017
19
132
17
There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.
field: 19132018
19
132
18
His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
field: 19133003
19
133

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.

Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD.

Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.

The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.

Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.

Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.

135
3
Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
field: 19135004
19
135
4
For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
field: 19135005

For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.

Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.

Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
field: 19135009

9
Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
field: 19135010

135
10
Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

11
Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
field: 19135012
19
135
12
And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
field: 19135013
19

13
Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.
field: 19135014

For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.

The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
field: 19135017

17
They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.

And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever:

With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever.

And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endureth for ever:
field: 19136015

But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever.

To him which smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever:
field: 19136018

And slew famous kings: for his mercy endureth for ever:

Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy endureth for ever:

20
And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endureth for ever:
field: 19136021
19
136

And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy endureth for ever:

Even an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth for ever.
field: 19136023

Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
field: 19137003

For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.

If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.

O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
field: 19138002
19
138

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.
field: 19138003

In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
field: 19138004

All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
field: 19138005

Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
field: 19138006

Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
field: 19138007

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.
field: 19138008
19

The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
field: 19139001
19
139
1
O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
field: 19139002
19
139
2
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
field: 19139003
19
139
3
Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
field: 19139004
19
139
4
For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
field: 19139005
19
139
5
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
field: 19139006
19
139
6
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
field: 19139007
19
139
7
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
field: 19139008
19
139
8
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
field: 19139009
19
139
9
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
field: 19139010
19
139
10
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
field: 19139011
19
139
11
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
field: 19139012
19
139
12
Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
field: 19139013
19
139
13
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
field: 19139014
19
139
14
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
field: 19139015
19
139
15
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
field: 19139016
19
139
16
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.
field: 19139017
19
139
17
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
field: 19139018
19
139
18
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
field: 19139019
19
139
19
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
field: 19139020
19
139
20
For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
field: 19139021
19
139
21
Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
field: 19139022
19
139
22
I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
field: 19139023
19
139
23
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
field: 19139024
19
139
24
And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
field: 19140001
19
140
1
Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
field: 19140002
19
140
2
Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
field: 19140003
19
140
3
They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.
field: 19140004
19
140
4
Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
field: 19140005
19
140
5
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.
field: 19140006
19
140
6
I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
field: 19140007
19
140
7
O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
field: 19140008
19
140
8
Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
field: 19140009
19
140
9
As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
field: 19140010
19
140
10
Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
field: 19140011
19
140
11
Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
field: 19140012
19
140
12
I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
field: 19140013
19
140
13
Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
field: 19141001
19
141
1
Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.
field: 19141002
19
141
2
Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
field: 19141003
19
141
3
Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
field: 19141004
19
141
4
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.
field: 19141005
19
141
5
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.
field: 19141006
19
141
6
When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
field: 19141007
19
141
7
Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.
field: 19141008
19
141
8
But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
field: 19141009
19
141
9
Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.
field: 19141010
19
141
10
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
field: 19142001
19
142
1
I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.
field: 19142002
19
142
2
I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.
field: 19142003
19
142
3
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.
field: 19142004
19
142
4
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.
field: 19142005
19
142
5
I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
field: 19142006
19
142
6
Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
field: 19142007
19
142
7
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.
field: 19143001
19
143
1
Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
field: 19143002
19
143
2
And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
field: 19143003
19
143
3
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.
field: 19143004
19
143
4
Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
field: 19143005
19
143
5
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
field: 19143006
19
143
6
I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
field: 19143007
19
143
7
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.
field: 19143008
19
143
8
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.
field: 19143009
19
143
9
Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
field: 19143010
19
143
10
Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
field: 19143011
19
143
11
Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
field: 19143012
19
143
12
And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
field: 19144002
19

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.

LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
field: 19144006

Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.

Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
field: 19144008
19
144
8
Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
field: 19144011

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:
field: 19144012
19

12
That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace:
field: 19144013
19
144
13
That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets:
field: 19144014
19
144
14
That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets.

Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.

Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.

The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.

15
He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.

147
16
He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
field: 19147017

147
17
He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
field: 19147018

Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
field: 19148014

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.

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
field: 20001002
20
1
2
To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
field: 20001003
20
1
3
To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
field: 20001004
20
1
4
To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
field: 20001005
20
1
5
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
field: 20001006
20
1
6
To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
field: 20001007
20
1
7
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
field: 20001008
20
1
8
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
field: 20001009
20
1
9
For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
field: 20001010
20

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
field: 20001011

11
If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
field: 20001012
20
1
12
Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
field: 20001013
20
1
13
We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
field: 20001014
20
1
14
Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
field: 20001015
20
1
15
My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
field: 20001016
20
1
16
For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
field: 20001017
20
1
17
Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
field: 20001018
20
1
18
And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
field: 20001019

So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
field: 20001021
20
1
21
She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
field: 20001022
20
1
22
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
field: 20001023
20
1
23
Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
field: 20001024
20
1
24
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
field: 20001025
20
1
25
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
field: 20001026
20
1
26
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
field: 20001027
20
1
27
When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
field: 20001028
20
1
28
Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
field: 20001029
20
1
29
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
field: 20001030
20
1
30
They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
field: 20001031
20
1
31
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
field: 20001032
20
1
32
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
field: 20001033
20
1
33
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
field: 20002001
20
2
1
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
field: 20002002
20
2
2
So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
field: 20002003
20
2
3
Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
field: 20002004
20
2
4
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
field: 20002005
20
2
5
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
field: 20002006
20
2
6
For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
field: 20002007
20
2
7
He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
field: 20002008
20
2
8
He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
field: 20002009
20
2
9
Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
field: 20002010
20
2
10
When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
field: 20002011
20
2
11
Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
field: 20002012
20
2
12
To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
field: 20002013
20
2
13
Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
field: 20002014
20
2
14
Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
field: 20002015
20
2
15
Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
field: 20002016
20
2
16
To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
field: 20002017
20
2
17
Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
field: 20002018
20
2
18
For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
field: 20002019
20
2
19
None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
field: 20002020
20
2
20
That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
field: 20002021
20
2
21
For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
field: 20002022
20
2
22
But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

1
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
field: 20003002
20
3
2
For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
field: 20003003
20
3
3
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
field: 20003004
20
3
4
So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
field: 20003005
20
3
5
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
field: 20003006
20
3
6
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
field: 20003007
20
3
7
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
field: 20003008
20
3
8
It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
field: 20003009
20
3
9
Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
field: 20003010
20
3
10
So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
field: 20003011
20
3
11
My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
field: 20003012
20
3
12
For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
field: 20003013
20
3
13
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
field: 20003014
20
3
14
For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
field: 20003015
20

15
She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
field: 20003016
20
3
16
Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
field: 20003017
20

17
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
field: 20003020

20
By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.

My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
field: 20003022
20
3
22
So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
field: 20003023
20
3
23
Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
field: 20003024
20
3
24
When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
field: 20003025
20
3
25
Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
field: 20003026
20
3
26
For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
field: 20003027
20
3
27
Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
field: 20003028
20
3
28
Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
field: 20003029
20
3
29
Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
field: 20003030
20
3
30
Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
field: 20003031
20
3
31
Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
field: 20003032
20
3
32
For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
field: 20003033
20
3
33
The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
field: 20003034
20
3
34
Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
field: 20003035
20
3
35
The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
field: 20004001

1
Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
field: 20004002
20
4
2
For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
field: 20004003
20
4
3
For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
field: 20004004
20
4
4
He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
field: 20004005
20
4
5
Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
field: 20004006
20
4
6
Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
field: 20004007
20
4
7
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
field: 20004008
20
4
8
Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
field: 20004009
20
4
9
She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
field: 20004010
20
4
10
Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
field: 20004011
20
4
11
I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
field: 20004012
20
4
12
When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
field: 20004013
20
4
13
Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
field: 20004014
20
4
14
Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
field: 20004015
20
4
15
Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
field: 20004016
20
4
16
For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
field: 20004017
20
4
17
For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
field: 20004018
20
4
18
But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
field: 20004019
20
4
19
The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
field: 20004020
20
4
20
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
field: 20004021
20
4
21
Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
field: 20004022
20
4
22
For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
field: 20004023
20
4
23
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
field: 20004024
20
4
24
Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
field: 20004025
20
4
25
Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
field: 20004026
20
4
26
Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
field: 20004027
20
4
27
Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.
field: 20005001
20
5
1
My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
field: 20005002
20
5
2
That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
field: 20005003
20
5
3
For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
field: 20005004
20
5
4
But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
field: 20005005
20
5
5
Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
field: 20005006
20
5
6
Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
field: 20005007
20
5
7
Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
field: 20005008
20
5
8
Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
field: 20005009
20
5
9
Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
field: 20005010
20
5
10
Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
field: 20005011
20
5
11
And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
field: 20005012
20
5
12
And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
field: 20005013
20
5
13
And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
field: 20005014
20
5
14
I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
field: 20005015
20
5
15
Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
field: 20005016
20
5
16
Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
field: 20005017
20
5
17
Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
field: 20005018
20
5
18
Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
field: 20005019
20
5
19
Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
field: 20005020
20
5
20
And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
field: 20005021
20
5
21
For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
field: 20005022
20
5
22
His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
field: 20005023
20
5
23
He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
field: 20006001
20
6
1
My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
field: 20006002
20
6
2
Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
field: 20006003
20
6
3
Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
field: 20006004
20
6
4
Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
field: 20006005
20
6
5
Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
field: 20006006
20
6
6
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
field: 20006007
20
6
7
Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
field: 20006008
20
6
8
Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
field: 20006009
20
6
9
How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
field: 20006010
20
6
10
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
field: 20006011
20
6
11
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
field: 20006012
20
6
12
A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
field: 20006013
20
6
13
He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
field: 20006014
20
6
14
Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
field: 20006015
20
6
15
Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
field: 20006016
20
6
16
These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
field: 20006017
20
6
17
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
field: 20006018
20
6
18
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
field: 20006019
20
6
19
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
field: 20006020
20
6
20
My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
field: 20006021
20
6
21
Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
field: 20006022
20
6
22
When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
field: 20006023
20
6
23
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
field: 20006024
20
6
24
To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
field: 20006025
20
6
25
Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
field: 20006026
20
6
26
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.
field: 20006027
20
6
27
Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
field: 20006028
20
6
28
Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
field: 20006029
20
6
29
So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
field: 20006030
20
6
30
Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
field: 20006031
20
6
31
But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
field: 20006032
20
6
32
But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
field: 20006033
20
6
33
A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
field: 20006034
20
6
34
For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
field: 20006035
20
6
35
He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
field: 20007001
20
7
1
My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
field: 20007002
20
7
2
Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
field: 20007003
20
7
3
Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
field: 20007004
20
7
4
Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:
field: 20007005
20
7
5
That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.
field: 20007006
20
7
6
For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
field: 20007007
20
7
7
And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
field: 20007008
20
7
8
Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
field: 20007009
20
7
9
In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
field: 20007010
20
7
10
And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
field: 20007011
20
7
11
(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
field: 20007012
20
7
12
Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
field: 20007013
20
7
13
So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,
field: 20007014
20
7
14
I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.
field: 20007015
20
7
15
Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
field: 20007016
20
7
16
I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
field: 20007017
20
7
17
I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
field: 20007018
20
7
18
Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
field: 20007019
20
7
19
For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
field: 20007020
20
7
20
He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
field: 20007021
20
7
21
With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
field: 20007022
20
7
22
He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
field: 20007023
20
7
23
Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
field: 20007024
20
7
24
Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
field: 20007025
20
7
25
Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
field: 20007026
20
7
26
For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
field: 20007027
20
7
27
Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
field: 20008001
20
8
1
Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
field: 20008002
20
8
2
She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
field: 20008003
20
8
3
She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
field: 20008004
20
8
4
Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
field: 20008005
20
8
5
O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
field: 20008006
20
8
6
Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
field: 20008007
20
8
7
For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
field: 20008008
20
8
8
All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
field: 20008009
20
8
9
They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
field: 20008010
20
8
10
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
field: 20008011
20
8
11
For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
field: 20008012
20
8
12
I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
field: 20008013
20
8
13
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
field: 20008014
20
8
14
Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
field: 20008015
20
8
15
By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
field: 20008016
20
8
16
By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
field: 20008017
20
8
17
I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
field: 20008018
20
8
18
Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
field: 20008019
20
8
19
My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
field: 20008020
20
8
20
I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
field: 20008021
20
8
21
That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
field: 20008022
20
8
22
The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
field: 20008023
20
8
23
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
field: 20008024
20
8
24
When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
field: 20008025
20
8
25
Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
field: 20008026
20
8
26
While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
field: 20008027
20
8
27
When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
field: 20008028
20
8
28
When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
field: 20008029
20
8
29
When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
field: 20008030
20
8
30
Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
field: 20008031
20
8
31
Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
field: 20008032
20
8
32
Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
field: 20008033
20
8
33
Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
field: 20008034
20
8
34
Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
field: 20008035
20
8
35
For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
field: 20008036
20
8
36
But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
field: 20009001

Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
field: 20009002
20
9
2
She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
field: 20009003
20
9
3
She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
field: 20009004
20
9
4
Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
field: 20009005
20
9
5
Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
field: 20009006
20
9
6
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
field: 20009007

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
field: 20031011

11
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
field: 20031012
20
31
12
She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
field: 20031013
20
31
13
She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
field: 20031014
20
31
14
She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
field: 20031015
20
31
15
She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
field: 20031016
20
31
16
She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
field: 20031017
20

17
She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
field: 20031018

18
She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
field: 20031019
20
31
19
She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
field: 20031020
20
31
20
She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
field: 20031021
20
31
21
She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
field: 20031022
20
31
22
She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.

Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
field: 20031024

She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
field: 20031025
20
31
25
Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
field: 20031026
20
31
26
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
field: 20031027
20
31
27
She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

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.

Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
field: 21001013
21
1
13
And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
field: 21001014
21
1
14
I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
field: 21001015
21
1
15
That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
field: 21001016
21

16
I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
field: 21001017
21
1
17
And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
field: 21001018
21
1
18
For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
field: 21002001
21

1
I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.
field: 21002002
21
2
2
I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?
field: 21002003
21
2
3
I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.
field: 21002004
21
2
4
I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:
field: 21002005
21
2
5
I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:
field: 21002006
21
2
6
I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:
field: 21002007
21
2
7
I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:
field: 21002008
21
2
8
I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
field: 21002009
21
2
9
So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
field: 21002010
21
2
10
And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.
field: 21002011
21
2
11
Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.
field: 21002012
21
2
12
And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.
field: 21002013
21
2
13
Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.
field: 21002014
21
2
14
The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.
field: 21002015
21
2
15
Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
field: 21002016
21
2
16
For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.
field: 21002017
21
2
17
Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
field: 21002018
21
2
18
Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
field: 21002019
21
2
19
And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.
field: 21002020
21
2
20
Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.
field: 21002021
21
2
21
For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
field: 21002022
21
2
22
For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?
field: 21002023
21
2
23
For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
field: 21002024
21
2
24
There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
field: 21002025
21
2
25
For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I?
field: 21002026
21
2
26
For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
field: 21003010
21

10
I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
field: 21003011
21
3
11
He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
field: 21003012
21
3
12
I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
field: 21003013
21
3
13
And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
field: 21003014
21
3
14
I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
field: 21003015
21
3
15
That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
field: 21003016
21
3
16
And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
field: 21003017
21
3
17
I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
field: 21003018
21
3
18
I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
field: 21003019
21
3
19
For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
field: 21003020
21
3
20
All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
field: 21003021
21
3
21
Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
field: 21003022
21
3
22
Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
field: 21004001
21
4
1
So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.
field: 21004002
21
4
2
Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.
field: 21004003
21
4
3
Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
field: 21004004
21
4
4
Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
field: 21004005
21

5
The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
field: 21004006
21

6
Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.
field: 21004007
21
4
7
Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
field: 21004008
21
4
8
There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
field: 21004009
21

9
Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
field: 21004010
21

10
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
field: 21004011
21

11
Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
field: 21004012
21
4
12
And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
field: 21004013
21

13
Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
field: 21004014
21
4
14
For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor.
field: 21004015
21
4
15
I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
field: 21004016
21
4
16
There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
field: 21005001

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.
field: 21005002
21
5
2
Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
field: 21005003
21
5
3
For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.
field: 21005004
21
5
4
When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
field: 21005005
21
5
5
Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
field: 21005006
21
5
6
Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
field: 21005007
21
5
7
For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.
field: 21005008
21
5
8
If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.
field: 21005009
21

Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.
field: 21005010
21
5
10
He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
field: 21005011
21
5
11
When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
field: 21005012
21
5
12
The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
field: 21005013
21
5
13
There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
field: 21005014
21
5
14
But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.
field: 21005015
21
5
15
As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
field: 21005016
21
5
16
And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?
field: 21005017
21
5
17
All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
field: 21005018
21
5
18
Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.
field: 21005019
21
5
19
Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
field: 21005020
21
5
20
For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.
field: 21006001
21
6
1
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:
field: 21006002
21
6
2
A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
field: 21006003
21
6
3
If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.
field: 21006004
21
6
4
For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.
field: 21006005
21
6
5
Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other.
field: 21006006
21
6
6
Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?
field: 21006007
21
6
7
All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
field: 21006008
21
6
8
For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?
field: 21006009
21
6
9
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
field: 21006010
21

10
That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.
field: 21006011
21
6
11
Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?
field: 21006012
21

12
For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
field: 21007001

A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
field: 21007002

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.
field: 21007003
21

3
Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
field: 21007004
21
7
4
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
field: 21007005
21
7
5
It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
field: 21007006
21
7
6
For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.
field: 21007007

Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.

Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.
field: 21007012

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.

Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?

In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.

All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.

Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself ?

Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?

It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all.

Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.

Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee:

All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.

That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?
field: 21007025

I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:

And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.

Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account:
field: 21007028

Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.

Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.

I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God.

Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.

Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?
field: 21008005
21

5
Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.
field: 21008006
21
8
6
Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.
field: 21008007
21

For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?
field: 21008008

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.
field: 21008009

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.
field: 21008010
21
8
10
And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity.
field: 21008011
21
8
11
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
field: 21008012

12
Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:
field: 21008013
21
8
13
But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.
field: 21008014
21

14
There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.
field: 21008015

15
Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.
field: 21008016
21

16
When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:)
field: 21008017
21
8
17
Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea farther; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
field: 21009001
21
9
1
For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them.
field: 21009002
21

2
All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
field: 21009003
21

3
This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
field: 21009004

For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
field: 21009005

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.
field: 21009006
21
9
6
Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
field: 21009007

7
Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.

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.

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
field: 21009012
21
9
12
For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
field: 21009013
21

13
This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me:
field: 21009014
21
9
14
There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:
field: 21009015
21
9
15
Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
field: 21009016
21
9
16
Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.
field: 21009017
21
9
17
The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
field: 21009018

Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.

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.

A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.

If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:

Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.

If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.

Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.

The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.

The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.

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.

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:

Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.

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.
field: 21012010

10
The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.

The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.

What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

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:
field: 23003017

Therefore the LORD will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.

In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,

The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

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:

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:
field: 23005002
23
5
2
And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
field: 23005003
23
5
3
And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
field: 23005004
23
5
4
What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
field: 23005005
23
5
5
And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
field: 23005006
23
5
6
And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

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.

Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their 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.

None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:

Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:

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.
field: 23006002
23

2
Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
field: 23006003
23
6
3
And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
field: 23006004

And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
field: 23006005

5
Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
field: 23006006
23
6
6
Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
field: 23006007
23
6
7
And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
field: 23006008
23

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,

And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.

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.
field: 23007002

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.
field: 23007003

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;
field: 23007004
23
7
4
And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
field: 23007005
23
7
5
Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
field: 23007006
23
7
6
Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal:
field: 23007007
23
7
7
Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
field: 23007008
23
7
8
For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
field: 23007009
23
7
9
And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.
field: 23007010

10
Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
field: 23007011
23
7
11
Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
field: 23007012
23
7
12
But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.
field: 23007013
23
7
13
And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
field: 23007014
23
7
14
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
field: 23007015

15
Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
field: 23007016
23
7
16
For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
field: 23007017
23
7
17
The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.
field: 23007018
23
7
18
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
field: 23007019
23
7
19
And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.
field: 23007020
23
7
20
In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.
field: 23007021
23
7
21
And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;
field: 23007022
23
7
22
And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.
field: 23007023
23
7
23
And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall even be for briers and thorns.
field: 23007024
23
7
24
With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
field: 23007025
23
7
25
And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.
field: 23008001
23

Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz.
field: 23008002
23
8
2
And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
field: 23008003
23
8
3
And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.
field: 23008004
23
8
4
For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.
field: 23008005
23
8
5
The LORD spake also unto me again, saying,
field: 23008006
23
8
6
Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;
field: 23008007
23
8
7
Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
field: 23008008
23
8
8
And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
field: 23008009
23
8
9
Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
field: 23008010
23
8
10
Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
field: 23008011
23
8
11
For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
field: 23008012
23
8
12
Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
field: 23008013
23
8
13
Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
field: 23008014
23
8
14
And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
field: 23008015
23
8
15
And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
field: 23008016
23
8
16
Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
field: 23008017
23
8
17
And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
field: 23008018
23
8
18
Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
field: 23008019
23
8
19
And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
field: 23008020
23
8
20
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
field: 23008021
23
8
21
And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
field: 23008022
23
8
22
And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.
field: 23009001
23
9
1
Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
field: 23009002
23
9
2
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
field: 23009003
23
9
3
Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
field: 23009004
23
9
4
For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
field: 23009005
23
9
5
For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
field: 23009006
23
9
6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
field: 23009007
23
9
7
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
field: 23009008
23
9
8
The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
field: 23009009
23
9
9
And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
field: 23009010
23
9
10
The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
field: 23009011
23
9
11
Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;
field: 23009012
23
9
12
The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
field: 23009013
23
9
13
For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.
field: 23009014
23
9
14
Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
field: 23009015
23
9
15
The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
field: 23009016
23
9
16
For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
field: 23009017
23
9
17
Therefore the LORD shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
field: 23009018
23
9
18
For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
field: 23009019
23
9
19
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.
field: 23009020
23
9
20
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:
field: 23009021
23
9
21

And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail.

This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that time.

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.

The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.

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.

At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.

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.

In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.

Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:

And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.

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.

The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.

The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.

Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.

The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.

Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.

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.

From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.

Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.

24
18
And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.

The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.

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.

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.
field: 23025002
23

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.

23

3
Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
field: 23025004

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.
field: 23025005
23

Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.

And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.

He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.

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.

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.

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.

23

21
And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
field: 23030022
23
30
22
Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.

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.

24
The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.

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.

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.

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:
field: 23030028
23
30
28
And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
field: 23030029
23
30
29
Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
field: 23030030
23
30
30
And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
field: 23030031
23

For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.

And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.

For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.

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!

Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.

Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.

As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.

Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.

For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.

Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.

Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.

And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.

The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

23
32
5
The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
field: 23032006
23
32
6
For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
field: 23032007
23
32
7
The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.

But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.

Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.

Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.

Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:
field: 23032014
23
32
14
Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
field: 23032015
23

15
Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
field: 23032016
23
32
16
Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.

17
And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;

Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.

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;

23
33
16
He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
field: 23033017
23
33
17
Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.

Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?

Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
field: 23034006

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.

And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.

And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.

But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.

They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.

And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.
field: 23034014

14
The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.
field: 23034015
23

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.
field: 23034016
23
34
16
Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
field: 23034017
23

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.
field: 23035001

1
The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
field: 23035002
23
35

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.

Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.

5
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
field: 23035007
23
35
7
And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
field: 23035008
23
35
8
And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
field: 23035009
23
35
9
No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:
field: 23035010
23
35
10
And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

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.
field: 23036002
23
36
2
And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field.
field: 23036003
23
36
3
Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder.
field: 23036004
23
36
4
And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
field: 23036005
23
36
5
I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
field: 23036006
23
36
6
Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.
field: 23036007
23
36
7
But if thou say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
field: 23036008
23
36
8
Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
field: 23036009
23
36
9
How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
field: 23036010
23
36
10
And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to destroy it? the LORD said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
field: 23036011
23
36
11
Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
field: 23036012
23
36
12
But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?
field: 23036013
23
36
13
Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
field: 23036014
23
36
14
Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you.
field: 23036015
23
36
15
Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
field: 23036016
23
36
16
Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;
field: 23036017
23
36
17
Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
field: 23036018
23
36
18
Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, the LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
field: 23036019
23
36
19
Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
field: 23036020
23
36
20
Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
field: 23036021
23
36
21
But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
field: 23036022
23
36
22
Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
field: 23037001
23
37
1
And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
field: 23037002
23
37
2
And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
field: 23037003
23
37
3
And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
field: 23037004
23
37
4
It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.
field: 23037005
23
37
5
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
field: 23037006
23
37
6
And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
field: 23037007
23
37
7
Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
field: 23037008
23
37
8
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
field: 23037009
23
37
9
And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
field: 23037010
23
37
10
Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
field: 23037011
23
37
11
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
field: 23037012
23
37
12
Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed, as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Telassar?
field: 23037013
23
37
13
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?

14
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
field: 23037015
23
37
15
And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying,
field: 23037016
23
37
16
O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.
field: 23037017
23
37
17
Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living God.
field: 23037018
23
37
18
Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries,
field: 23037019
23
37
19
And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.
field: 23037020
23
37
20
Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD, even thou only.
field: 23037021
23
37
21
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:
field: 23037022
23
37
22
This is the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
field: 23037023
23
37
23
Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.
field: 23037024
23
37
24
By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border, and the forest of his Carmel.
field: 23037025
23
37
25
I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.
field: 23037026
23
37
26
Hast thou not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities into ruinous heaps.
field: 23037027
23
37
27
Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
field: 23037028
23
37
28
But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
field: 23037029
23
37
29
Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
field: 23037030
23
37
30
And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
field: 23037031
23
37
31
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
field: 23037032
23
37
32
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.
field: 23037033
23
37
33
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.
field: 23037034
23
37
34
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.
field: 23037035
23
37
35
For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
field: 23037036
23
37
36
Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
field: 23037037
23
37
37
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
field: 23037038
23
37
38
And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
field: 23038001
23
38
1
In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.
field: 23038002
23
38
2
Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,
field: 23038003
23
38
3
And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
field: 23038004
23
38
4
Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,
field: 23038005
23
38
5
Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.
field: 23038006
23
38
6
And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.
field: 23038007
23
38
7
And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken;
field: 23038008
23
38
8
Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.

The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:
field: 23038010
23
38
10
I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.
field: 23038011
23
38
11
I said, I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
field: 23038012
23
38
12
Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.
field: 23038013
23
38
13
I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.
field: 23038014
23
38
14
Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.
field: 23038015
23
38
15
What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.
field: 23038016
23
38
16
O LORD, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.
field: 23038017
23
38
17
Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
field: 23038018
23
38
18
For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
field: 23038019
23
38
19
The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
field: 23038020
23
38
20
The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.
field: 23038021
23
38
21
For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.
field: 23038022
23
38
22
Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?
field: 23039001
23
39
1
At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.
field: 23039002
23
39
2
And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.
field: 23039003
23
39
3
Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon.
field: 23039004
23
39
4
Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.
field: 23039005
23
39
5
Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of hosts:
field: 23039006
23
39
6
Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.
field: 23039007
23
39
7
And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
field: 23039008
23

8
Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.

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.
field: 23040006

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:
field: 23040007
23
40
7
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.

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.

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:

For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;

Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.

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.

And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase thyself even unto hell.

Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.

For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.

For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.

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.

Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.

Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?

Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.

Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;

And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:

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.

Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.

None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.

Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.

Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.

We 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.
field: 23059012

For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;

In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
field: 23059015

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.
field: 23059016

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.
field: 23059017
23

17
For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.

According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.

For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways;

A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.

Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.

And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.

And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.

And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.

And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD.

And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.

Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever.

Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.

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.

For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.

O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.

I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way.

They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

24

2
Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.

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.
field: 24007004

Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these.
field: 24007005
24

5
For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
field: 24007006
24

6
If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:
field: 24007007
24
7
7
Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.
field: 24007008
24

Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
field: 24007009
24

9
Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;
field: 24007010
24
7
10
And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
field: 24007011
24
7
11
Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.
field: 24007012
24

12
But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
field: 24007013
24
7
13
And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;
field: 24007014
24
7
14
Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
field: 24007015
24
7
15
And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
field: 24007016

16
Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.
field: 24007017

Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
field: 24007019
24

19
Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?
field: 24007020

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.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.

22
For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
field: 24007023
24
7
23
But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
field: 24007024
24

But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
field: 24007025
24
7
25
Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:
field: 24007026
24
7
26
Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.
field: 24007027
24
7
27
Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.
field: 24007028
24
7
28
But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.

For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.

And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.
field: 24007032
24
7
32
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.

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.

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.

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:
field: 24008002
24

2
And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.

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.

Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?

I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.

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.

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.

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.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:

And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.

For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.

Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.

Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;

And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,

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:
field: 24011005

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.

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.

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.
field: 24011008

Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do: but they did them not.

And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.

Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.

For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.

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.

Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:

And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.

Thus saith the LORD unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.

So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my loins.

Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.

So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.

field: 24013007

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.

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.

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.

Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now.

As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee.

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;
field: 24017020
24
17
20
And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
field: 24017021
24
17
21
Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;
field: 24017022
24
17
22
Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
field: 24017023
24
17
23
But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.
field: 24017024
24
17
24
And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
field: 24017025
24
17
25
Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.
field: 24017026
24
17
26
And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the LORD.
field: 24017027
24
17
27
But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
field: 24018002

18
2
Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
field: 24018003
24
18
3
Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
field: 24018004
24
18
4
And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
field: 24018005
24
18
5
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
field: 24018006
24
18
6
O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;

24
18
8
If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
field: 24018009
24
18
9
And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
field: 24018010
24
18
10
If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
field: 24018011
24
18
11
Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.
field: 24018012
24
18
12
And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.
field: 24018013
24
18
13
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ask ye now among the heathen, who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing.
field: 24018014
24
18
14
Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken?
field: 24018015
24
18
15
Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;
field: 24018016
24
18
16
To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.
field: 24018017
24
18
17
I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
field: 24018018
24
18
18
Then said they, Come and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
field: 24018019
24
18
19
Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.
field: 24018020
24
18
20
Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.

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.
field: 24018022
24
18
22
Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
field: 24018023
24
18
23
Yet, LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time of thine anger.

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;
field: 24019002
24
19
2
And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,
field: 24019003
24
19
3
And say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.
field: 24019004
24
19
4
Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
field: 24019005
24
19
5
They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:
field: 24019006
24
19
6
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.
field: 24019007
24
19
7
And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
field: 24019008
24
19
8
And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.
field: 24019009
24
19
9
And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.
field: 24019010

Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee,
field: 24019011
24
19
11
And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.
field: 24019012
24
19
12
Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet:
field: 24019013
24
19
13
And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods.
field: 24019014
24
19
14
Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD's house; and said to all the people,
field: 24019015
24
19
15
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.
field: 24020001

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.
field: 24020002
24
20
2
Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD.
field: 24020003
24
20
3
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magormissabib.
field: 24020004
24
20
4
For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.
field: 24020005
24
20
5
Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labours thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
field: 24020006
24
20
6
And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.
field: 24020007

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.
field: 24020008
24
20
8
For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.
field: 24020009
24
20
9
Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
field: 24020010
24
20
10
For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
field: 24020011
24
20
11
But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.
field: 24020012
24
20
12
But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened my cause.
field: 24020013
24
20
13
Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.

Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.

15
Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.
field: 24020016
24
20
16
And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;
field: 24020017
24
20
17
Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.
field: 24020018
24

Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

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,
field: 24021002
24
21
2
Enquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.
field: 24021003
24
21
3
Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah:
field: 24021004
24
21
4
Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst of this city.
field: 24021005
24
21
5
And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.
field: 24021006
24
21
6
And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.
field: 24021007
24
21
7
And afterward, saith the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.
field: 24021008
24
21
8
And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
field: 24021009
24
21
9
He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.
field: 24021010
24
21
10
For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the LORD: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
field: 24021011
24
21
11
And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of the LORD;
field: 24021012
24
21
12
O house of David, thus saith the LORD; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
field: 24021013
24
21
13
Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the LORD; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?
field: 24021014
24
21
14
But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
field: 24022001
24
22
1
Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,
field: 24022002
24
22
2
And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates:
field: 24022003
24
22
3
Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.
field: 24022004
24
22
4
For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
field: 24022005
24
22
5
But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.
field: 24022006
24
22
6
For thus saith the LORD unto the king's house of Judah; Thou art Gilead unto me, and the head of Lebanon: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited.
field: 24022007
24
22
7
And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
field: 24022008
24
22
8
And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this great city?
field: 24022009
24
22
9
Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.
field: 24022010
24
22
10
Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
field: 24022011

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:

24
22
12
But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.

13
Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;

14
That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is cieled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
field: 24022015
24
22
15
Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?
field: 24022016
24
22
16
He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD.
field: 24022017
24
22
17
But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.

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!

He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.

Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed.

field: 24022022

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;
field: 24022025
24
22
25
And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.

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.

But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return.

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.
field: 24023003
24
23
3
And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
field: 24023004
24
23
4
And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.
field: 24023005

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.
field: 24023006

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.
field: 24023007
24
23
7
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
field: 24023008
24
23
8
But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
field: 24023009

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.
field: 24023010
24
23
10
For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
field: 24023011
24
23
11
For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.
field: 24023012
24
23
12
Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.
field: 24023013
24
23
13
And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
field: 24023014
24
23
14
I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
field: 24023015
24
23
15
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
field: 24023016
24
23
16
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
field: 24023017
24
23
17
They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
field: 24023018
24
23
18
For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
field: 24023019
24
23
19
Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
field: 24023020
24
23
20
The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
field: 24023021
24
23
21
I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
field: 24023022
24
23
22
But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
field: 24023023
24
23
23
Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?
field: 24023024
24
23
24
Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
field: 24023025
24
23
25
I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
field: 24023026
24
23
26
How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
field: 24023027
24
23
27
Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
field: 24023028
24
23
28
The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
field: 24023029
24
23
29
Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
field: 24023030
24
23
30
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
field: 24023031
24
23
31
Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
field: 24023032
24
23
32
Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.
field: 24023033
24
23
33
And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD.
field: 24023034
24
23
34
And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house.
field: 24023035
24
23
35
Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
field: 24023036
24
23
36
And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.
field: 24023037
24
23
37
Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
field: 24023038
24
23
38
But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the LORD;
field: 24023039
24
23
39
Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:
field: 24023040
24
23
40
And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.

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.
field: 24024002
24
24
2
One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
field: 24024003
24
24
3
Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
field: 24024004
24
24
4
Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 24024005
24
24
5
Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.
field: 24024006
24
24
6
For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
field: 24024007
24
24
7
And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.
field: 24024008
24
24
8
And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the LORD, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt:
field: 24024009
24
24
9
And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.
field: 24024010
24
24
10
And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers.

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;
field: 24025002
24
25
2
The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
field: 24025003
24
25
3
From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.
field: 24025004
24
25
4
And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.
field: 24025005
24
25
5
They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever:
field: 24025006
24
25
6
And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.
field: 24025007
24
25
7
Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.
field: 24025008
24
25
8
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,
field: 24025009
24
25
9
Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.
field: 24025010
24
25
10
Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.
field: 24025011
24
25
11
And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
field: 24025012
24
25
12
And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.
field: 24025013
24
25
13
And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.
field: 24025014
24
25
14
For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.
field: 24025015
24
25
15
For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.
field: 24025016
24
25
16
And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.
field: 24025017
24
25
17
Then took I the cup at the LORD's hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me:
field: 24025018
24
25
18
To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;

Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;

Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon,

And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert,

And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes,

24
25
26
And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
field: 24025027
24
25
27
Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.
field: 24025028
24
25
28
And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink.
field: 24025029
24
25
29
For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts.
field: 24025030
24
25
30
Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
field: 24025031
24
25
31
A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD.

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.
field: 24025033

25
33
And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.

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.
field: 24025035
24
25
35
And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
field: 24025036
24
25
36
A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture.
field: 24025037
24
25
37
And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
field: 24025038

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.

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from the LORD, saying,
field: 24026002
24
26
2
Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD's house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD's house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word:
field: 24026003
24
26
3
If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.
field: 24026004
24
26
4
And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
field: 24026005
24
26
5
To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;
field: 24026006
24
26
6
Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
field: 24026007
24
26
7
So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.
field: 24026008
24
26
8
Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.
field: 24026009
24
26
9
Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.
field: 24026010
24
26
10
When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king's house unto the house of the LORD, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of the LORD's house.
field: 24026011
24
26
11
Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.
field: 24026012
24
26
12
Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.
field: 24026013
24
26
13
Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.
field: 24026014
24
26
14
As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you.
field: 24026015
24
26
15
But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears.
field: 24026016
24
26
16
Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets; This man is not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God.
field: 24026017
24
26
17
Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying,
field: 24026018
24
26
18
Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
field: 24026019
24
26
19
Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the LORD, and besought the LORD, and the LORD repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.
field: 24026020
24
26
20
And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.
field: 24026021
24
26
21
And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;
field: 24026022
24
26
22
And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt.
field: 24026023
24
26
23
And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
field: 24026024
24
26
24
Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
field: 24027001
24
27
1
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
field: 24027002
24
27
2
Thus saith the LORD to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,
field: 24027003
24
27
3
And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;
field: 24027004
24
27
4
And command them to say unto their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters;
field: 24027005
24
27
5
I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.
field: 24027006
24
27
6
And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.
field: 24027007
24
27
7
And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.
field: 24027008
24
27
8
And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
field: 24027009
24
27
9
Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
field: 24027010
24
27
10
For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.
field: 24027011

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.
field: 24027012
24
27
12
I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
field: 24027013
24
27
13
Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
field: 24027014
24
27
14
Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
field: 24027015
24
27
15
For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.
field: 24027016
24
27
16
Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
field: 24027017
24
27
17
Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste?
field: 24027018
24
27
18
But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
field: 24027019
24
27
19
For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city.
field: 24027020
24
27
20
Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
field: 24027021
24
27
21
Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;
field: 24027022
24
27
22
They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
field: 24028001
24

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,
field: 24028002
24
28
2
Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
field: 24028003
24
28
3
Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon:
field: 24028004
24
28
4
And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the LORD: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
field: 24028005
24
28
5
Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the LORD,
field: 24028006
24
28
6
Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD's house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.
field: 24028007
24
28
7
Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people;
field: 24028008
24
28
8
The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.
field: 24028009
24
28
9
The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.
field: 24028010
24
28
10
Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it.
field: 24028011
24
28
11
And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
field: 24028012
24
28
12
Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
field: 24028013
24
28
13
Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron.
field: 24028014
24
28
14
For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.
field: 24028015
24
28
15
Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.
field: 24028016
24
28
16
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD.
field: 24028017
24
28
17
So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
field: 24029001
24

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;
field: 24029002
24
29
2
(After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;)
field: 24029003
24
29
3
By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying,
field: 24029004
24
29
4
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon;
field: 24029005
24
29
5
Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;
field: 24029006
24
29
6
Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.
field: 24029007
24
29
7
And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
field: 24029008
24
29
8
For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.
field: 24029009
24
29
9
For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.
field: 24029010
24
29
10
For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
field: 24029011
24
29
11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
field: 24029012
24
29
12
Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
field: 24029013
24
29
13
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
field: 24029014
24
29
14
And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.
field: 24029015
24
29
15
Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;
field: 24029016
24
29
16
Know that thus saith the LORD of the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;
field: 24029017
24
29
17
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
field: 24029018
24
29
18
And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them:
field: 24029019
24
29
19
Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.
field: 24029020
24
29
20
Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:
field: 24029021
24
29
21
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;
field: 24029022
24
29
22
And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;
field: 24029023
24
29
23
Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the LORD.
field: 24029024
24
29
24
Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,
field: 24029025
24
29
25
Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
field: 24029026
24
29
26
The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, and in the stocks.
field: 24029027
24
29
27
Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you?
field: 24029028
24
29
28
For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
field: 24029029
24
29
29
And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
field: 24029030
24
29
30
Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
field: 24029031
24
29
31
Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:
field: 24029032
24
29
32
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD.
field: 24030001

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
field: 24030002
24
30
2
Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.
field: 24030003
24
30
3
For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
field: 24030004
24
30
4
And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
field: 24030005
24
30
5
For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
field: 24030006
24
30
6
Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
field: 24030007
24
30
7
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.
field: 24030008
24
30
8
For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
field: 24030009
24
30
9
But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
field: 24030010
24
30
10
Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
field: 24030011
24
30
11
For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet I will not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
field: 24030012
24
30
12
For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.
field: 24030013
24
30
13
There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.
field: 24030014
24
30
14
All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased.
field: 24030015
24
30
15
Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.
field: 24030016
24
30
16
Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.
field: 24030017
24
30
17
For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
field: 24030018
24
30
18
Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.
field: 24030019
24
30
19
And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
field: 24030020
24
30
20
Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.
field: 24030021
24
30
21
And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.
field: 24030022

22
And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
field: 24030024

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.

At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.

Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.

The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.

For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.

Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.
field: 24031009
24
31

They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.

11
For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.
field: 24031012
24
31
12
Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
field: 24031013
24
31
13
Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
field: 24031014

And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD.

Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.

16
Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
field: 24031017

And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border.

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.
field: 24031019
24
31
19
Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
field: 24031020
24
31
20
Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD.

Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.

How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless thee, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.
field: 24031024
24
31
24
And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks.
field: 24031025

25
For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
field: 24031026

26
Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.
field: 24031027

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.
field: 24031028
24
31
28
And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD.
field: 24031029
24

29
In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.
field: 24031030

But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
field: 24031031

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:
field: 24031032
24
31
32
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
field: 24031033
24
31
33
But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
field: 24031034
24
31
34
And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

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.
field: 24031037
24
31
37
Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
field: 24031038

38
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the city shall be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananeel unto the gate of the corner.
field: 24031039
24
31
39
And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.
field: 24031040
24
31
40
And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.

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.
field: 24032002
24
32
2
For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah's house.
field: 24032003
24
32
3
For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
field: 24032004
24
32
4
And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;
field: 24032005
24
32
5
And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper.
field: 24032006
24
32
6
And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 24032007
24
32
7
Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it.
field: 24032008
24
32
8
So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.
field: 24032009
24
32
9
And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.
field: 24032010
24
32
10
And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.
field: 24032011
24
32
11
So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open:
field: 24032012
24
32
12
And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.
field: 24032013
24
32
13
And I charged Baruch before them, saying,
field: 24032014
24
32
14
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.
field: 24032015
24
32
15
For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.
field: 24032016
24
32
16
Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the LORD, saying,
field: 24032017
24
32
17
Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:
field: 24032018
24
32
18
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,
field: 24032019
24
32
19
Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
field: 24032020
24
32
20
Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day;
field: 24032021
24
32
21
And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror;
field: 24032022
24
32
22
And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
field: 24032023
24
32
23
And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:
field: 24032024
24
32
24
Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it.
field: 24032025
24
32
25
And thou hast said unto me, O Lord GOD, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
field: 24032026
24
32
26
Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
field: 24032027
24
32
27
Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
field: 24032028
24
32
28
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
field: 24032029
24
32
29
And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger.
field: 24032030
24
32
30
For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the LORD.
field: 24032031
24
32
31
For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,
field: 24032032
24
32
32
Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
field: 24032033
24
32
33
And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
field: 24032034
24
32
34
But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.
field: 24032035
24
32
35
And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
field: 24032036
24
32
36
And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;
field: 24032037
24
32
37
Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:
field: 24032038
24
32
38
And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
field: 24032039
24
32
39
And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
field: 24032040
24
32
40
And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
field: 24032041
24
32
41
Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
field: 24032042
24
32
42
For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
field: 24032043
24
32
43
And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
field: 24032044
24
32
44
Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the LORD.
field: 24033001
24
33
1
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
field: 24033002
24
33
2
Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name;
field: 24033003
24
33
3
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
field: 24033004
24
33
4
For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;
field: 24033005
24
33
5
They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.
field: 24033006
24
33
6
Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.
field: 24033007
24
33
7
And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
field: 24033008
24
33
8
And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.
field: 24033009
24
33
9
And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.
field: 24033010
24
33
10
Thus saith the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,
field: 24033011
24
33
11
The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD.
field: 24033012
24
33
12
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
field: 24033013
24
33
13
In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that telleth them, saith the LORD.
field: 24033014
24
33
14
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
field: 24033015
24
33
15
In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.
field: 24033016
24
33
16
In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.
field: 24033017
24
33
17
For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
field: 24033018
24
33
18
Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.
field: 24033019
24
33
19
And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,
field: 24033020
24
33
20
Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;
field: 24033021
24
33
21
Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
field: 24033022
24
33
22
As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
field: 24033023
24
33
23
Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
field: 24033024
24
33
24
Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
field: 24033025
24
33
25
Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
field: 24033026
24
33
26
Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.
field: 24034001
24
34
1
The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,
field: 24034002
24
34
2
Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
field: 24034003
24
34
3
And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
field: 24034004
24
34
4
Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:
field: 24034005
24
34
5
But thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they burn odours for thee; and they will lament thee, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the LORD.
field: 24034006
24
34
6
Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
field: 24034007
24
34
7
When the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these defenced cities remained of the cities of Judah.
field: 24034008
24
34
8
This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;
field: 24034009
24
34
9
That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother.
field: 24034010
24
34
10
Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.
field: 24034011
24
34
11
But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
field: 24034012
24
34
12
Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
field: 24034013
24
34
13
Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,
field: 24034014
24
34
14
At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.
field: 24034015
24
34
15
And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
field: 24034016
24
34
16
But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.
field: 24034017
24
34
17
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
field: 24034018
24
34
18
And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in twain, and passed between the parts thereof,
field: 24034019
24
34
19
The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;
field: 24034020
24
34
20
I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
field: 24034021
24
34
21
And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you.
field: 24034022
24
34
22
Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.
field: 24035001
24

The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
field: 24035002
24
35
2
Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.
field: 24035003
24
35
3
Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;
field: 24035004
24
35
4
And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:
field: 24035005
24
35
5
And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine.
field: 24035006
24
35
6
But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever:
field: 24035007
24
35
7
Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any: but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye be strangers.
field: 24035008
24
35
8
Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;
field: 24035009
24
35
9
Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
field: 24035010
24
35
10
But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
field: 24035011
24
35
11
But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem.
field: 24035012
24
35
12
Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
field: 24035013
24
35
13
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the LORD.
field: 24035014
24
35
14
The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me.
field: 24035015
24
35
15
I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.
field: 24035016
24
35
16
Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but this people hath not hearkened unto me:
field: 24035017
24
35
17
Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered.
field: 24035018
24
35
18
And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded you:
field: 24035019
24
35
19
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.

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,
field: 24036002
24
36
2
Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.
field: 24036003
24
36
3
It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
field: 24036004
24
36
4
Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
field: 24036005
24
36
5
And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of the LORD:
field: 24036006
24
36
6
Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD's house upon the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.
field: 24036007
24
36
7
It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD hath pronounced against this people.
field: 24036008
24
36
8
And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the LORD in the LORD's house.
field: 24036009
24
36
9
And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.
field: 24036010
24
36
10
Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD's house, in the ears of all the people.
field: 24036011
24
36
11
When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the LORD,
field: 24036012
24
36
12
Then he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber: and, lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
field: 24036013
24
36
13
Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
field: 24036014
24
36
14
Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them.
field: 24036015
24
36
15
And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears.
field: 24036016
24
36
16
Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they were afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.
field: 24036017
24
36
17
And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?
field: 24036018
24
36
18
Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.
field: 24036019
24
36
19
Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be.
field: 24036020
24
36
20
And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king.
field: 24036021
24
36
21
So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama the scribe's chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king.
field: 24036022
24
36
22
Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.
field: 24036023
24
36
23
And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.
field: 24036024
24
36
24
Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.
field: 24036025
24
36
25
Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll: but he would not hear them.
field: 24036026
24
36
26
But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the LORD hid them.
field: 24036027
24
36
27
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
field: 24036028
24
36
28
Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.
field: 24036029
24
36
29
And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?
field: 24036030
24
36
30
Therefore thus saith the LORD of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
field: 24036031
24
36
31
And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not.
field: 24036032
24
36
32
Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like words.
field: 24037001
24
37
1
And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
field: 24037002
24
37
2
But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the LORD, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah.
field: 24037003
24
37
3
And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now unto the LORD our God for us.
field: 24037004
24
37
4
Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison.
field: 24037005
24
37
5
Then Pharaoh's army was come forth out of Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from Jerusalem.
field: 24037006
24
37
6
Then came the word of the LORD unto the prophet Jeremiah saying,
field: 24037007
24
37
7
Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to enquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
field: 24037008
24
37
8
And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.
field: 24037009
24
37
9
Thus saith the LORD; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart.
field: 24037010
24
37
10
For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
field: 24037011
24
37
11
And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,
field: 24037012
24
37
12
Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself thence in the midst of the people.
field: 24037013
24
37
13
And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans.
field: 24037014
24
37
14
Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
field: 24037015
24
37
15
Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.
field: 24037016
24
37
16
When Jeremiah was entered into the dungeon, and into the cabins, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
field: 24037017
24
37
17
Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the LORD? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.
field: 24037018
24
37
18
Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
field: 24037019
24
37
19
Where are now your prophets which prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
field: 24037020
24
37
20
Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
field: 24037021
24
37
21
Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city were spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
field: 24038001
24
38
1
Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken unto all the people, saying,
field: 24038002
24
38
2
Thus saith the LORD, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.
field: 24038003
24
38
3
Thus saith the LORD, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which shall take it.
field: 24038004
24
38
4
Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.
field: 24038005
24
38
5
Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand: for the king is not he that can do any thing against you.
field: 24038006
24
38
6
Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire.
field: 24038007
24
38
7
Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;
field: 24038008
24
38
8
Ebedmelech went forth out of the king's house, and spake to the king saying,
field: 24038009
24
38
9
My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the city.
field: 24038010
24
38
10
Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.
field: 24038011
24
38
11
So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
field: 24038012
24
38
12
And Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.
field: 24038013
24
38
13
So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
field: 24038014
24
38
14
Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that is in the house of the LORD: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me.
field: 24038015
24
38
15
Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou not hearken unto me?
field: 24038016
24
38
16
So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As the LORD liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.
field: 24038017
24
38
17
Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thine house:
field: 24038018
24
38
18
But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand.
field: 24038019
24
38
19
And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.
field: 24038020
24
38
20
But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the LORD, which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live.
field: 24038021
24
38
21
But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that the LORD hath shewed me:
field: 24038022
24
38
22
And, behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall say, Thy friends have set thee on, and have prevailed against thee: thy feet are sunk in the mire, and they are turned away back.
field: 24038023
24
38
23
So they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans: and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.
field: 24038024
24
38
24
Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.
field: 24038025
24
38
25
But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee:
field: 24038026
24
38
26
Then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.
field: 24038027
24
38
27
Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.
field: 24038028
24
38
28
So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and he was there when Jerusalem was taken.
field: 24039001
24
39
1
In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
field: 24039002
24
39
2
And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up.
field: 24039003
24
39
3
And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon.
field: 24039004
24
39
4
And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain.
field: 24039005
24
39
5
But the Chaldeans' army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.
field: 24039006
24
39
6
Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah.
field: 24039007
24
39
7
Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.
field: 24039008
24
39
8
And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem.
field: 24039009
24
39
9
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained.
field: 24039010
24
39
10
But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
field: 24039011
24
39
11
Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,
field: 24039012
24
39
12
Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.
field: 24039013
24
39
13
So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rabsaris, and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon's princes;
field: 24039014
24
39
14
Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people.
field: 24039015
24
39
15
Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
field: 24039016
24
39
16
Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee.
field: 24039017
24
39
17
But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid.
field: 24039018
24
39
18
For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.
field: 24040001
24
40
1
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all that were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, which were carried away captive unto Babylon.
field: 24040002
24
40
2
And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said unto him, The LORD thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place.
field: 24040003
24
40
3
Now the LORD hath brought it, and done according as he hath said: because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is come upon you.
field: 24040004
24
40
4
And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which were upon thine hand. If it seem good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well unto thee: but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee: whither it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, thither go.
field: 24040005
24
40
5
Now while he was not yet gone back, he said, Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or go wheresoever it seemeth convenient unto thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a reward, and let him go.
field: 24040006
24
40
6
Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land.
field: 24040007
24
40
7
Now when all the captains of the forces which were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed unto him men, and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon;
field: 24040008
24
40
8
Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
field: 24040009
24
40
9
And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware unto them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
field: 24040010
24
40
10
As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to serve the Chaldeans, which will come unto us: but ye, gather ye wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that ye have taken.
field: 24040011
24
40
11
Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan;
field: 24040012
24
40
12
Even all the Jews returned out of all places whither they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, unto Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits very much.
field: 24040013
24
40
13
Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,
field: 24040014
24
40
14
And said unto him, Dost thou certainly know that Baalis the king of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to slay thee? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not.
field: 24040015
24

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?
field: 24040016
24

16
But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said unto Johanan the son of Kareah, Thou shalt not do this thing: for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael.
field: 24041001

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.
field: 24041002
24
41
2
Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
field: 24041003
24
41
3
Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the men of war.
field: 24041004
24
41
4
And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
field: 24041005
24
41
5
That there came certain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of the LORD.
field: 24041006
24
41
6
And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met them, he said unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.
field: 24041007
24
41
7
And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he, and the men that were with him.
field: 24041008
24
41
8
But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbare, and slew them not among their brethren.
field: 24041009
24
41
9
Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, was it which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain.
field: 24041010
24
41
10
Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, even the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the Ammonites.
field: 24041011
24
41
11
But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,
field: 24041012
24
41
12
Then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon.
field: 24041013
24
41
13
Now it came to pass, that when all the people which were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, then they were glad.
field: 24041014
24
41
14
So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah.
field: 24041015
24
41
15
But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.
field: 24041016
24
41
16
Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, even mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon:
field: 24041017
24
41
17
And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
field: 24041018
24
41
18
Because of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land.
field: 24042001
24
42
1
Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest, came near,
field: 24042002
24
42
2
And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto the LORD thy God, even for all this remnant; (for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us:)
field: 24042003
24
42
3
That the LORD thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.
field: 24042004
24
42
4
Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.
field: 24042005
24
42
5
Then they said to Jeremiah, The LORD be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which the LORD thy God shall send thee to us.
field: 24042006
24
42
6
Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God.
field: 24042007
24
42
7
And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah.
field: 24042008
24
42
8
Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
field: 24042009
24
42
9
And said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him;
field: 24042010
24
42
10
If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you.
field: 24042011
24
42
11
Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
field: 24042012
24
42
12
And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.
field: 24042013
24
42
13
But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the LORD your God,
field: 24042014
24
42
14
Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:
field: 24042015
24
42
15
And now therefore hear the word of the LORD, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;
field: 24042016
24
42
16
Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.
field: 24042017
24
42
17
So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.
field: 24042018
24
42
18
For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.
field: 24042019
24
42
19
The LORD hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.
field: 24042020
24
42
20
For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto the LORD your God, saying, Pray for us unto the LORD our God; and according unto all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it.
field: 24042021
24
42
21
And now I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me unto you.
field: 24042022
24
42
22
Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go and to sojourn.

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,
field: 24043002
24
43
2
Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there:
field: 24043003
24
43
3
But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.
field: 24043004
24
43
4
So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the land of Judah.
field: 24043005
24
43
5
But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations, whither they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah;
field: 24043006
24
43
6
Even men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.
field: 24043007
24
43
7
So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: thus came they even to Tahpanhes.
field: 24043008
24
43
8
Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
field: 24043009
24
43
9
Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;
field: 24043010
24
43
10
And say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.
field: 24043011
24
43
11
And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, and deliver such as are for death to death; and such as are for captivity to captivity; and such as are for the sword to the sword.
field: 24043012
24
43
12
And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace.
field: 24043013
24
43
13
He shall break also the images of Bethshemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire.

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,
field: 24044002
24
44
2
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,
field: 24044003
24
44
3
Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers.
field: 24044004
24
44
4
Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.
field: 24044005
24
44
5
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods.
field: 24044006
24
44
6
Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day.
field: 24044007
24
44
7
Therefore now thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;
field: 24044008
24
44
8
In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
field: 24044009
24
44
9
Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
field: 24044010
24
44
10
They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.
field: 24044011
24
44
11
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah.
field: 24044012
24
44
12
And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.
field: 24044013
24
44
13
For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:
field: 24044014
24
44
14
So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape.
field: 24044015
24
44
15
Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
field: 24044016
24
44
16
As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee.
field: 24044017
24
44
17
But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
field: 24044018
24
44
18
But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.
field: 24044019
24
44
19
And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?
field: 24044020
24
44
20
Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying,
field: 24044021
24
44
21
The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it not into his mind?
field: 24044022
24
44
22
So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
field: 24044023
24
44
23
Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day.
field: 24044024
24
44
24
Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt:
field: 24044025
24
44
25
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.
field: 24044026
24
44
26
Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the LORD, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord GOD liveth.
field: 24044027
24
44
27
Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.
field: 24044028
24
44
28
Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or their's.
field: 24044029
24
44
29
And this shall be a sign unto you, saith the LORD, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:
field: 24044030
24
44
30
Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give Pharaohhophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.

Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch:

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.

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.

A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:

Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:

Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the LORD God of recompences shall surely requite.

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.

So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.
field: 24051061
24
51
61
And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words;
field: 24051062
24
51
62
Then shalt thou say, O LORD, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
field: 24051063
24
51

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:

64
And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.

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.
field: 24052002
24
52
2
And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
field: 24052003
24
52
3
For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
field: 24052004
24
52
4
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about.
field: 24052005
24
52
5
So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
field: 24052006
24
52
6
And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
field: 24052007
24
52
7
Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about:) and they went by the way of the plain.
field: 24052008
24
52
8
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
field: 24052009
24
52
9
Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him.
field: 24052010
24
52
10
And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
field: 24052011
24
52
11
Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.
field: 24052012
24
52
12
Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,
field: 24052013
24
52
13
And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire:
field: 24052014
24
52
14
And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.
field: 24052015
24
52
15
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
field: 24052016
24
52
16
But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.
field: 24052017
24
52
17
Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
field: 24052018
24
52
18
The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
field: 24052019
24
52
19
And the basons, and the firepans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups; that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, took the captain of the guard away.
field: 24052020
24
52
20
The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
field: 24052021
24
52
21
And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.
field: 24052022
24
52
22
And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like unto these.
field: 24052023
24
52
23
And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about.
field: 24052024
24
52
24
And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
field: 24052025
24
52
25
He took also out of the city an eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king's person, which were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.
field: 24052026
24
52
26
So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
field: 24052027
24
52
27
And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.

This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:

In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:

52
30
In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

31
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison.
field: 24052032
24
52
32
And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,
field: 24052033
24
52
33
And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.
field: 24052034
24
52
34
And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths.

Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.

Her filthiness is in her skirts; she remembereth not her last end; therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no comforter. O LORD, behold my affliction: for the enemy hath magnified himself.
field: 25001010

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.
field: 25001011

All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O LORD, and consider; for I am become vile.

Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the LORD hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.

From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate and faint all the day.
field: 25001014

14
The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the LORD hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.
field: 25001015
25

15
The LORD hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the LORD hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress.
field: 25001016
25

16
For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed.

Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.

The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.

I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls.

Behold, O LORD; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death.

They have heard that I sigh: there is none to comfort me: 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.
field: 25001022

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.

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!
field: 25002002

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.
field: 25002003
25

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.
field: 25002004
25

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.
field: 25002005
25

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.
field: 25002006
25
2
6
And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
field: 25002007

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.
field: 25002008
25

The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.

Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD.

The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.

11
Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.
field: 25002012
25

They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers' bosom.

What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?

Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.
field: 25002015

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?
field: 25002016
25

All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.

The LORD hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.

Their heart cried unto the LORD, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease.

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.

Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?

The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, and not pitied.

Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD's anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.

My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.

Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.

He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.

He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.

He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.

He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.

He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.

I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.

He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.

He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.

17
And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.

And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:

Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.

He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.

He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.

He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.

For the LORD will not cast off for ever:

But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.

3
The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him.
field: 26001004
26
1
4
And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
field: 26001005
26
1
5
Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
field: 26001006
26
1
6
And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
field: 26001007
26
1
7
And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.
field: 26001008
26
1
8
And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
field: 26001009
26
1
9
Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
field: 26001010
26
1
10
As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
field: 26001011
26
1
11
Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
field: 26001012
26
1
12
And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.
field: 26001013
26
1
13
As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
field: 26001014
26
1
14
And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
field: 26001015
26
1
15
Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
field: 26001016
26
1
16
The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
field: 26001017
26
1
17
When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went.
field: 26001018
26
1
18
As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four.
field: 26001019
26
1
19
And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
field: 26001020
26
1
20
Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
field: 26001021
26
1
21
When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
field: 26001022
26
1
22
And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.
field: 26001023
26
1
23
And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies.
field: 26001024
26
1
24
And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings.
field: 26001025
26
1
25
And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings.
field: 26001026
26
1
26
And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.
field: 26001027
26
1
27
And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.
field: 26001028
26
1
28
As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
field: 26002001
26
2
1
And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.
field: 26002002
26
2
2
And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.
field: 26002003
26
2
3
And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.
field: 26002004
26
2
4
For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26002005
26
2
5
And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.
field: 26002006
26
2
6
And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
field: 26002007
26
2
7
And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
field: 26002008
26
2
8
But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
field: 26002009
26
2
9
And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
field: 26002010
26
2
10
And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
field: 26003001
26
3
1
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
field: 26003002
26
3
2
So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
field: 26003003
26
3
3
And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
field: 26003004
26
3
4
And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
field: 26003005
26
3
5
For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;
field: 26003006
26
3
6
Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.
field: 26003007
26
3
7
But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.
field: 26003008
26
3
8
Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
field: 26003009
26
3
9
As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
field: 26003010
26
3
10
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
field: 26003011
26
3
11
And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
field: 26003012
26
3
12
Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place.
field: 26003013
26
3
13
I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great rushing.
field: 26003014
26
3
14
So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.
field: 26003015
26
3
15
Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.
field: 26003016
26
3
16
And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26003017
26
3
17
Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
field: 26003018
26
3
18
When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
field: 26003019
26
3
19
Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
field: 26003020
26
3
20
Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
field: 26003021
26
3
21
Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
field: 26003022
26
3
22
And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.
field: 26003023
26
3
23
Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face.
field: 26003024
26
3
24
Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house.
field: 26003025
26
3
25
But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:
field: 26003026
26
3
26
And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.
field: 26003027
26
3
27
But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
field: 26004001
26
4
1
Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, even Jerusalem:
field: 26004002
26
4
2
And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.
field: 26004003
26
4
3
Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
field: 26004004
26
4
4
Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.
field: 26004005
26
4
5
For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
field: 26004006
26
4
6
And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
field: 26004007
26
4
7
Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.
field: 26004008
26
4
8
And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.
field: 26004009
26
4
9
Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
field: 26004010
26
4
10
And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.
field: 26004011
26
4
11
Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.
field: 26004012
26
4
12
And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.
field: 26004013
26
4
13
And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.
field: 26004014
26
4
14
Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
field: 26004015
26
4
15
Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.
field: 26004016
26
4
16
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:
field: 26004017
26
4
17
That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
field: 26005001
26
5
1
And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's razor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair.
field: 26005002
26
5
2
Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.
field: 26005003
26
5
3
Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.
field: 26005004
26
5
4
Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.
field: 26005005
26
5
5
Thus saith the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her.
field: 26005006
26
5
6
And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.
field: 26005007
26
5
7
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you;
field: 26005008
26
5
8
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.
field: 26005009
26
5
9
And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.
field: 26005010
26
5
10
Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.
field: 26005011
26
5
11
Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.
field: 26005012
26
5
12
A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.
field: 26005013
26
5
13
Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.
field: 26005014
26
5
14
Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
field: 26005015
26
5
15
So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it.
field: 26005016
26
5
16
When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:
field: 26005017
26
5
17
So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee: and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it.
field: 26006001
26
6
1
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26006002
26
6
2
Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,
field: 26006003
26
6
3
And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places.
field: 26006004
26
6
4
And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
field: 26006005
26
6
5
And I will lay the dead carcases of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.
field: 26006006
26
6
6
In all your dwellingplaces the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
field: 26006007
26
6
7
And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26006008
26
6
8
Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.
field: 26006009
26
6
9
And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
field: 26006010
26
6
10
And they shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.
field: 26006011
26
6
11
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
field: 26006012
26
6
12
He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them.
field: 26006013
26
6
13
Then shall ye know that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols.
field: 26006014
26
6
14
So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26007001
26
7
1
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26007002
26
7
2
Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
field: 26007003
26
7
3
Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.
field: 26007004
26
7
4
And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26007005
26
7
5
Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.
field: 26007006
26
7
6
An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.
field: 26007007
26
7
7
The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
field: 26007008
26
7
8
Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abominations.
field: 26007009
26
7
9
And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am the LORD that smiteth.
field: 26007010
26
7
10
Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
field: 26007011
26
7
11
Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of their's: neither shall there be wailing for them.
field: 26007012
26
7
12
The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
field: 26007013
26
7
13
For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
field: 26007014
26
7
14
They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
field: 26007015

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.

They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.

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.

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.
field: 26008002
26

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.
field: 26008003
26

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.
field: 26008004
26
8
4
And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
field: 26008005
26
8
5
Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
field: 26008006
26
8
6
He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.
field: 26008007
26
8
7
And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.
field: 26008008
26
8
8
Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
field: 26008009
26
8
9
And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
field: 26008010
26
8
10
So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.
field: 26008011
26
8
11
And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
field: 26008012
26
8
12
Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, the LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.
field: 26008013
26
8
13
He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
field: 26008014
26
8
14
Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
field: 26008015
26
8
15
Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
field: 26008016
26
8
16
And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
field: 26008017
26
8
17
Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
field: 26008018
26

18
Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
field: 26009001
26
9
1
He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
field: 26009002
26
9
2
And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
field: 26009003
26
9
3
And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;
field: 26009004
26
9
4
And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
field: 26009005
26
9
5
And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
field: 26009006
26
9
6
Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
field: 26009007
26
9
7
And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
field: 26009008
26
9
8
And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
field: 26009009
26
9
9
Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
field: 26009010
26
9
10
And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
field: 26009011
26
9
11
And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
field: 26010001
26
10
1
Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
field: 26010002
26
10
2
And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.
field: 26010003
26
10
3
Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
field: 26010004
26
10
4
Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD's glory.
field: 26010005
26
10
5
And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
field: 26010006
26
10
6
And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
field: 26010007
26
10
7
And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.
field: 26010008
26
10
8
And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under their wings.
field: 26010009
26
10
9
And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone.
field: 26010010
26
10
10
And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
field: 26010011
26
10
11
When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.
field: 26010012
26
10
12
And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.
field: 26010013
26
10
13
As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.
field: 26010014
26
10
14
And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
field: 26010015
26
10
15
And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.
field: 26010016
26
10
16
And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.
field: 26010017
26
10
17
When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
field: 26010018
26
10
18
Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.
field: 26010019
26
10
19
And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
field: 26010020
26
10
20
This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.
field: 26010021
26
10
21
Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
field: 26010022
26
10
22
And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
field: 26011001
26
11
1
Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD's house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
field: 26011002
26
11
2
Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:
field: 26011003
26
11
3
Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh.
field: 26011004
26
11
4
Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
field: 26011005
26
11
5
And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.
field: 26011006
26
11
6
Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
field: 26011007
26
11
7
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.
field: 26011008
26
11
8
Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26011009
26
11
9
And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
field: 26011010
26
11
10
Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26011011
26
11
11
This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel:
field: 26011012
26
11
12
And ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you.
field: 26011013
26
11
13
And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
field: 26011014
26
11
14
Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26011015
26
11
15
Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD: unto us is this land given in possession.
field: 26011016
26
11
16
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.
field: 26011017
26
11
17
Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
field: 26011018
26
11
18
And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
field: 26011019
26
11
19
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
field: 26011020
26
11
20
That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
field: 26011021
26
11
21
But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26011022
26
11
22
Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
field: 26011023
26
11
23
And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
field: 26011024
26
11
24
Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
field: 26011025
26
11
25
Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shewed me.
field: 26012001
26
12
1
The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,
field: 26012002
26
12
2
Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.
field: 26012003
26
12
3
Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.
field: 26012004
26
12
4
Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.
field: 26012005
26
12
5
Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.
field: 26012006
26
12
6
In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.
field: 26012007
26
12
7
And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.
field: 26012008
26
12
8
And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,
field: 26012009
26
12
9
Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?
field: 26012010
26
12
10
Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.
field: 26012011
26
12
11
Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity.
field: 26012012
26
12
12
And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.
field: 26012013
26
12
13
My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
field: 26012014
26
12
14
And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
field: 26012015
26
12
15
And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.
field: 26012016
26
12
16
But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26012017
26
12
17
Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
field: 26012018
26
12
18
Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness;
field: 26012019
26
12
19
And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.
field: 26012020
26
12
20
And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26012021
26
12
21
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26012022
26
12
22
Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
field: 26012023
26
12
23
Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
field: 26012024
26
12
24
For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
field: 26012025
26
12
25
For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26012026
26
12
26
Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying.
field: 26012027
26
12
27
Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.
field: 26012028
26
12
28
Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26013001
26
13
1
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26013002
26
13
2
Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;
field: 26013003
26
13
3
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
field: 26013004
26
13
4
O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
field: 26013005
26
13
5
Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
field: 26013006
26
13
6
They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.
field: 26013007
26
13
7
Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith it; albeit I have not spoken?
field: 26013008
26
13
8
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26013009

And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:
field: 26013011
26
13
11
Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.
field: 26013012
26
13
12
Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?
field: 26013013
26
13
13
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it.
field: 26013014
26
13
14
So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26013015
26
13
15
Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;

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.
field: 26013017
26
13
17
Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,
field: 26013018
26
13
18
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?
field: 26013019
26
13
19
And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?
field: 26013020
26
13
20
Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.
field: 26013021
26
13
21
Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26013022
26
13
22
Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:
field: 26013023
26
13
23
Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me.
field: 26014002
26
14
2
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26014003
26
14
3
Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
field: 26014004
26
14
4
Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;
field: 26014005
26
14
5
That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
field: 26014006
26
14
6
Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
field: 26014007
26
14
7
For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:
field: 26014008
26
14
8
And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26014009
26
14
9
And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
field: 26014010
26
14
10
And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him;
field: 26014011
26
14
11
That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26014012
26
14
12
The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
field: 26014013
26
14
13
Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:
field: 26014014
26
14
14
Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26014015
26
14
15
If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:
field: 26014016
26
14
16
Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
field: 26014017
26
14
17
Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
field: 26014018
26
14
18
Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
field: 26014019
26
14
19
Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
field: 26014020
26
14
20
Though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
field: 26014021
26
14
21
For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
field: 26014022
26
14
22
Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.
field: 26014023
26
14
23
And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26015001
26
15
1
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26015002
26
15
2
Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
field: 26015003
26
15
3
Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
field: 26015004
26
15
4
Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet for any work?
field: 26015005
26
15
5
Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less shall it be meet yet for any work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned?
field: 26015006
26
15
6
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
field: 26015007
26
15
7
And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them.
field: 26015008
26
15
8
And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26016001
26
16
1
Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26016002
26
16
2
Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
field: 26016003
26
16
3
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.
field: 26016004
26
16
4
And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
field: 26016005
26
16
5
None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.
field: 26016006
26
16
6
And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live.
field: 26016007
26
16
7
I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast naked and bare.
field: 26016008
26
16
8
Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.
field: 26016009
26
16
9
Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
field: 26016010
26
16
10
I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.
field: 26016011
26
16
11
I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
field: 26016012
26
16
12
And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.
field: 26016013
26
16
13
Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.
field: 26016014
26
16
14
And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26016015
26
16
15
But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
field: 26016016
26
16
16
And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
field: 26016017
26
16
17
Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,
field: 26016018
26
16
18
And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.
field: 26016019
26
16
19
My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for a sweet savour: and thus it was, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26016020
26
16
20
Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms a small matter,
field: 26016021
26
16
21
That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?
field: 26016022
26
16
22
And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood.
field: 26016023
26
16
23
And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the LORD GOD;)
field: 26016024
26
16
24
That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street.
field: 26016025
26
16
25
Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.
field: 26016026
26
16
26
Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.
field: 26016027
26
16
27
Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way.
field: 26016028
26
16
28
Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.
field: 26016029
26
16
29
Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied therewith.
field: 26016030
26
16
30
How weak is thine heart, saith the LORD GOD, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;
field: 26016031
26
16
31
In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;
field: 26016032
26
16
32
But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!
field: 26016033
26
16
33
They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom.
field: 26016034
26
16
34
And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
field: 26016035
26
16
35
Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:
field: 26016036
26
16
36
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;
field: 26016037
26
16
37
Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
field: 26016038
26
16
38
And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.
field: 26016039
26
16
39
And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.
field: 26016040
26
16
40
They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.
field: 26016041
26
16
41
And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.
field: 26016042
26
16
42
So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
field: 26016043
26
16
43
Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will recompense thy way upon thine head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations.
field: 26016044
26
16
44
Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
field: 26016045
26
16
45
Thou art thy mother's daughter, that lotheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, which lothed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
field: 26016046
26
16
46
And thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
field: 26016047
26
16
47
Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways.
field: 26016048
26
16
48
As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
field: 26016049
26
16
49
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
field: 26016050
26
16
50
And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
field: 26016051
26
16
51
Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.
field: 26016052
26
16
52
Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.
field: 26016053
26
16
53
When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:
field: 26016054
26
16
54
That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.
field: 26016055
26
16
55
When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.
field: 26016056
26
16
56
For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride,
field: 26016057
26
16
57
Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of thy reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise thee round about.
field: 26016058
26
16
58
Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith the LORD.
field: 26016059
26
16
59
For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
field: 26016060
26
16
60
Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
field: 26016061
26
16
61
Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.
field: 26016062
26
16
62
And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD:
field: 26016063
26
16
63
That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26017002
26
17
2
Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;
field: 26017003
26
17
3
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:
field: 26017004
26
17
4
He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffick; he set it in a city of merchants.
field: 26017005
26
17
5
He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree.
field: 26017006
26
17
6
And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
field: 26017007
26
17
7
There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation.
field: 26017008
26
17
8
It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.
field: 26017009
26
17
9
Say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof.
field: 26017010
26
17
10
Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew.
field: 26017011
26
17
11
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26017012
26
17
12
Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon;
field: 26017013
26
17
13
And hath taken of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land:
field: 26017014
26
17
14
That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand.
field: 26017015
26
17

But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?

As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.

Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons:
field: 26017018
26
17
18
Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape.
field: 26017019

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head.

And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me.

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:

26
17
23
In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.

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.

The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,

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?

As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.

Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,
field: 26018006

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,
field: 26018007
26
18
7
And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;
field: 26018008
26
18
8
He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,
field: 26018009
26
18

Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.

If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth the like to any one of these things,
field: 26018011
26
18
11
And that doeth not any of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,
field: 26018012
26
18
12
Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,
field: 26018013
26
18
13
Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.
field: 26018014
26
18
14
Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,
field: 26018015
26
18
15
That hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbour's wife,
field: 26018016
26
18
16
Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment,
field: 26018017
26
18
17
That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
field: 26018018
26
18
18
As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity.
field: 26018019
26
18
19
Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.
field: 26018020
26
18

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.
field: 26018021
26
18
21
But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
field: 26018022
26
18
22
All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
field: 26018023
26
18
23
Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
field: 26018024
26
18
24
But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
field: 26018025
26
18
25
Yet ye say, The way of the LORD is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
field: 26018026
26
18
26
When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
field: 26018027
26
18
27
Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
field: 26018028
26
18
28
Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
field: 26018029
26
18
29
Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the LORD is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
field: 26018030
26
18
30
Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
field: 26018031
26
18
31
Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
field: 26018032

For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.
field: 26019003

And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
field: 26019004
26

4
The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
field: 26019005
26
19
5
Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.
field: 26019006
26
19
6
And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.
field: 26019007
26

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.
field: 26019008

Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.
field: 26019009
26

And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.

Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.

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.
field: 26019012

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.
field: 26019013

13
And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
field: 26019014

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.

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.

Then came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,
field: 26020003
26
20
3
Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye come to enquire of me? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.
field: 26020004
26
20
4
Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers:
field: 26020005
26
20
5
And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the LORD your God;
field: 26020006
26
20
6
In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands:
field: 26020007
26
20
7
Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
field: 26020008
26
20
8
But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
field: 26020009
26
20

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.
field: 26020010
26
20
10
Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
field: 26020011
26
20
11
And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them.
field: 26020012
26
20
12
Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.
field: 26020013
26
20
13
But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
field: 26020014
26
20
14
But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.
field: 26020015
26
20
15
Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;
field: 26020016
26
20
16
Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
field: 26020017
26
20
17
Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.
field: 26020018
26
20
18
But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols:
field: 26020019
26
20
19
I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them;
field: 26020020
26
20
20
And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God.
field: 26020021
26
20
21
Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
field: 26020022
26
20
22
Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth.
field: 26020023
26
20
23
I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;
field: 26020024
26
20
24
Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.
field: 26020025
26
20
25
Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;
field: 26020026
26
20
26
And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD.
field: 26020027
26
20
27
Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.
field: 26020028
26
20
28
For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.
field: 26020029
26
20
29
Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name whereof is called Bamah unto this day.
field: 26020030
26
20
30
Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye whoredom after their abominations?
field: 26020031
26
20
31
For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.
field: 26020032
26
20
32
And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.
field: 26020033
26
20
33
As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:
field: 26020034
26
20
34
And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
field: 26020035
26
20
35
And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.
field: 26020036
26
20
36
Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26020037
26
20
37
And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:
field: 26020038
26
20
38
And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26020039
26
20
39
As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.
field: 26020040
26
20
40
For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.
field: 26020041
26
20
41
I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.
field: 26020042
26
20
42
And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to your fathers.
field: 26020043
26
20
43
And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.
field: 26020044
26
20
44
And ye shall know that I am the LORD when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26020045
26

45
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26020046
26
20
46
Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;
field: 26020047
26
20
47
And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.
field: 26020048
26
20
48
And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
field: 26020049
26
20
49
Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?
field: 26021001
26
21
1
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26021002
26
21
2
Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,
field: 26021003
26
21
3
And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
field: 26021004
26
21
4
Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
field: 26021005
26
21
5
That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.
field: 26021006
26
21
6
Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.
field: 26021007
26
21
7
And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26021008
26
21
8
Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26021009
26
21
9
Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:
field: 26021010
26
21
10
It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree.
field: 26021011
26
21
11
And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
field: 26021012
26
21
12
Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh.
field: 26021013
26
21
13
Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26021014
26
21
14
Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together. and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their privy chambers.
field: 26021015
26
21
15
I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter.
field: 26021016
26
21
16
Go thee one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set.
field: 26021017
26
21
17
I will also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it.
field: 26021018
26
21
18
The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
field: 26021019
26
21
19
Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city.

Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.

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.
field: 26021022
26
21
22
At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, and to build a fort.
field: 26021023
26
21
23
And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.
field: 26021024
26
21
24
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
field: 26021025
26
21
25
And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end,
field: 26021026
26
21
26
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.
field: 26021027
26
21
27
I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.
field: 26021028
26
21
28
And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering:
field: 26021029
26
21
29
Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end.
field: 26021030
26
21
30
Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity.
field: 26021031
26
21
31
And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skilful to destroy.
field: 26021032
26
21
32
Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.
field: 26022001
26
22
1
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26022002
26
22
2
Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations.
field: 26022003
26
22
3
Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself.
field: 26022004
26
22
4
Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.
field: 26022005
26
22
5
Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, which art infamous and much vexed.
field: 26022006
26
22
6
Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood.
field: 26022007
26
22
7
In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.
field: 26022008
26
22
8
Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.
field: 26022009
26
22
9
In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.
field: 26022010
26
22
10
In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
field: 26022011
26
22
11
And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
field: 26022012
26
22
12
In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26022013
26
22
13
Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.
field: 26022014
26
22
14
Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it.
field: 26022015
26
22
15
And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.
field: 26022016
26
22
16
And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
field: 26022017
26
22
17
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26022018
26
22
18
Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver.
field: 26022019
26
22
19
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
field: 26022020
26
22
20
As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you.
field: 26022021
26
22
21
Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst therof.
field: 26022022
26
22
22
As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.
field: 26022023
26
22
23
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26022024
26
22
24
Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
field: 26022025
26
22
25
There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.
field: 26022026
26
22
26
Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
field: 26022027
26
22
27
Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
field: 26022028
26
22
28
And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.
field: 26022029
26
22
29
The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
field: 26022030
26
22
30
And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
field: 26022031
26
22
31
Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26023001
26
23
1
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
field: 26023002
26
23
2
Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
field: 26023003
26
23
3
And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.
field: 26023004
26
23
4
And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.
field: 26023005
26
23
5
And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours,
field: 26023006
26
23
6
Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
field: 26023007
26
23
7
Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself.
field: 26023008
26
23
8
Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her.
field: 26023009
26
23
9
Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
field: 26023010
26
23
10
These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became famous among women; for they had executed judgment upon her.
field: 26023011
26
23
11
And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms.
field: 26023012
26
23
12
She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.
field: 26023013
26
23
13
Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way,
field: 26023014
26
23
14
And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion,
field: 26023015
26
23
15
Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:
field: 26023016
26
23
16
And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.
field: 26023017
26
23
17
And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them.
field: 26023018
26
23
18
So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister.
field: 26023019
26
23
19
Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
field: 26023020
26
23
20
For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
field: 26023021
26
23
21
Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.
field: 26023022
26
23
22
Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side;
field: 26023023
26
23
23
The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.
field: 26023024
26
23
24
And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set against thee buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.
field: 26023025
26
23
25
And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.
field: 26023026
26
23
26
They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels.
field: 26023027
26
23
27
Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.
field: 26023028
26
23
28
For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated:
field: 26023029
26
23
29
And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
field: 26023030
26
23
30
I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols.
field: 26023031
26
23
31
Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand.
field: 26023032
26
23
32
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much.
field: 26023033
26
23
33
Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.
field: 26023034
26
23
34
Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26023035
26
23
35
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
field: 26023036
26
23
36
The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations;
field: 26023037
26
23
37
That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.
field: 26023038
26
23
38
Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.
field: 26023039
26
23
39
For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.
field: 26023040
26
23
40
And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments,
field: 26023041
26
23
41
And satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil.
field: 26023042
26
23
42
And a voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with the men of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.
field: 26023043
26
23
43
Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries, Will they now commit whoredoms with her, and she with them?
field: 26023044
26
23
44
Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women.
field: 26023045
26
23
45
And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
field: 26023046
26
23
46
For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled.
field: 26023047
26
23
47
And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
field: 26023048
26
23
48
Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.
field: 26023049
26
23
49
And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
field: 26024001
26
24
1
Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26024002
26
24
2
Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.
field: 26024003
26
24
3
And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:
field: 26024004
26
24
4
Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
field: 26024005
26
24
5
Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.
field: 26024006
26
24
6
Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.
field: 26024007
26
24
7
For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;
field: 26024008
26
24
8
That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.
field: 26024009
26
24
9
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.
field: 26024010
26
24
10
Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.
field: 26024011
26
24
11
Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.
field: 26024012
26
24
12
She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.
field: 26024013
26
24
13
In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.
field: 26024014
26
24
14
I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26024015
26
24
15
Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26024016
26
24
16
Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.
field: 26024017
26
24
17
Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.
field: 26024018
26
24
18
So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
field: 26024019
26
24
19
And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?
field: 26024020
26
24
20
Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26024021
26
24
21
Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.
field: 26024022
26
24
22
And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.
field: 26024023
26
24
23
And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.
field: 26024024
26
24
24
Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
field: 26024025
26
24
25
Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,
field: 26024026
26
24
26
That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?
field: 26024027
26
24
27
In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26025001
26
25
1
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
field: 26025002
26
25
2
Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them;
field: 26025003
26
25
3
And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;
field: 26025004
26
25
4
Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk.
field: 26025005
26
25
5
And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couching place for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26025006
26
25
6
For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel;
field: 26025007
26
25
7
Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
field: 26025008
26
25
8
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen;
field: 26025009
26

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,
field: 26025010
26
25
10
Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.
field: 26025011
26
25
11
And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

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;
field: 26025013
26
25
13
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.
field: 26025014
26
25
14
And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26025015
26
25
15
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred;
field: 26025016
26
25
16
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
field: 26025017
26
25
17
And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.

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,
field: 26026002
26
26
2
Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:
field: 26026003
26
26
3
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up.
field: 26026004
26
26
4
And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.
field: 26026005
26
26
5
It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations.
field: 26026006
26
26
6
And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26026007
26
26
7
For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.
field: 26026008
26
26
8
He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee.
field: 26026009
26
26
9
And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.
field: 26026010
26
26
10
By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.
field: 26026011
26
26
11
With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground.
field: 26026012
26
26
12
And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.
field: 26026013
26
26
13
And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard.
field: 26026014
26
26
14
And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26026015
26
26
15
Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?
field: 26026016
26
26
16
Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee.
field: 26026017
26
26
17
And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it!
field: 26026018
26
26
18
Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.
field: 26026019
26
26
19
For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee;
field: 26026020
26
26
20
When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;
field: 26026021
26
26
21
I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26027001
26
27
1
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
field: 26027002
26
27
2
Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;
field: 26027003
26
27
3
And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea, which art a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty.
field: 26027004
26
27
4
Thy borders are in the midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.
field: 26027005
26
27
5
They have made all thy ship boards of fir trees of Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.
field: 26027006
26
27
6
Of the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; the company of the Ashurites have made thy benches of ivory, brought out of the isles of Chittim.
field: 26027007
26
27
7
Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee.
field: 26027008
26
27
8
The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise men, O Tyrus, that were in thee, were thy pilots.
field: 26027009
26
27

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.
field: 26027010
26
27
10
They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in thine army, thy men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy comeliness.
field: 26027011
26
27
11
The men of Arvad with thine army were upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hanged their shields upon thy walls round about; they have made thy beauty perfect.
field: 26027012
26
27
12
Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kind of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs.
field: 26027013
26
27
13
Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy merchants: they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market.
field: 26027014
26
27
14
They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and horsemen and mules.

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.
field: 26027016
26
27
16
Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making: they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate.
field: 26027017
26
27
17
Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants: they traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm.
field: 26027018
26
27
18
Damascus was thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool.
field: 26027019
26
27
19
Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy fairs: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy market.
field: 26027020
26
27
20
Dedan was thy merchant in precious clothes for chariots.
field: 26027021
26
27
21
Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they occupied with thee in lambs, and rams, and goats: in these were they thy merchants.
field: 26027022
26
27
22
The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy merchants: they occupied in thy fairs with chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold.
field: 26027023
26
27
23
Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad, were thy merchants.
field: 26027024
26
27
24
These were thy merchants in all sorts of things, in blue clothes, and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords, and made of cedar, among thy merchandise.
field: 26027025
26
27
25
The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.
field: 26027026
26
27
26
Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas.
field: 26027027
26
27
27
Thy riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that are in thee, and in all thy company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin.
field: 26027028
26
27
28
The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots.
field: 26027029
26
27
29
And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land;
field: 26027030
26
27
30
And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes:
field: 26027031
26
27
31
And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.
field: 26027032
26
27
32
And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, saying, What city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea?
field: 26027033
26
27
33
When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise.
field: 26027034
26
27
34
In the time when thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall.
field: 26027035
26
27
35
All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in their countenance.
field: 26027036

The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt be any more.

The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
field: 26028002
26
28
2
Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
field: 26028003
26
28
3
Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:
field: 26028004
26
28
4
With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
field: 26028005
26
28
5
By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
field: 26028006
26
28
6
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
field: 26028007
26
28
7
Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
field: 26028008
26
28
8
They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
field: 26028009
26
28
9
Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
field: 26028010
26
28
10
Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26028011
26
28
11
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26028012
26
28
12
Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
field: 26028013
26
28
13
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
field: 26028014
26
28
14
Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
field: 26028015
26
28
15
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
field: 26028016
26
28
16
By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
field: 26028017
26
28
17
Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
field: 26028018
26
28
18
Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
field: 26028019
26
28
19
All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
field: 26028020
26
28
20
Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26028021
26
28
21
Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,
field: 26028022
26
28
22
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
field: 26028023
26
28
23
For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26028024
26
28
24
And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
field: 26028025
26
28
25
Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.
field: 26028026
26
28
26
And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.
field: 26029001
26
29
1
In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26029002
26
29
2
Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:
field: 26029003
26
29
3
Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.
field: 26029004
26
29
4
But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.
field: 26029005
26
29
5
And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.
field: 26029006
26
29
6
And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
field: 26029007
26
29
7
When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.
field: 26029008
26
29
8
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.
field: 26029009
26
29
9
And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it.
field: 26029010
26
29
10
Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.
field: 26029011
26
29
11
No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
field: 26029012
26
29
12
And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
field: 26029013
26
29
13
Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:
field: 26029014
26
29
14
And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom.
field: 26029015
26
29
15
It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.
field: 26029016
26
29
16
And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: but they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
field: 26029017
26
29
17
And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26029018
26
29
18
Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it:
field: 26029019
26
29
19
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.
field: 26029020
26
29
20
I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26029021
26
29
21
In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26030001
26
30
1
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
field: 26030002
26
30
2
Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day!
field: 26030003
26
30
3
For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.
field: 26030004
26
30
4
And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
field: 26030005
26
30
5
Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.
field: 26030006
26
30
6
Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26030007
26
30
7
And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.
field: 26030008
26
30
8
And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.
field: 26030009
26
30
9
In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.
field: 26030010
26
30
10
Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
field: 26030011
26
30
11
He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
field: 26030012
26
30
12
And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken it.

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.
field: 26030014
26
30
14
And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No.
field: 26030015
26
30
15
And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.
field: 26030016
26
30
16
And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph shall have distresses daily.
field: 26030017
26
30
17
The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall go into captivity.
field: 26030018
26
30
18
At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
field: 26030019

Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26030021
26
30
21
Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.
field: 26030022
26
30
22
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
field: 26030023
26
30
23
And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
field: 26030024
26
30
24
And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.
field: 26030025
26
30
25
But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
field: 26030026
26
30
26
And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26031001

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,
field: 26031002
26
31
2
Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
field: 26031003
26
31
3
Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.
field: 26031004
26
31
4
The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.
field: 26031005
26
31
5
Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.
field: 26031006
26
31
6
All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.
field: 26031007
26
31
7
Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.
field: 26031008
26
31
8
The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
field: 26031009
26
31
9
I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.
field: 26031010
26
31
10
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
field: 26031011
26
31
11
I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
field: 26031012
26
31
12
And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
field: 26031013
26
31
13
Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
field: 26031014
26
31
14
To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
field: 26031015
26
31
15
Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.
field: 26031016
26
31
16
I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.
field: 26031017
26
31
17
They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.
field: 26031018
26
31
18
To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26032001

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,
field: 26032002
26
32
2
Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.
field: 26032003
26
32
3
Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net.
field: 26032004
26
32
4
Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee.
field: 26032005
26
32
5
And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height.
field: 26032006
26
32
6
I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.
field: 26032007
26
32
7
And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
field: 26032008
26
32
8
All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26032009
26
32
9
I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.
field: 26032010
26
32
10
Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall.
field: 26032011
26
32
11
For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee.
field: 26032012
26
32
12
By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall, the terrible of the nations, all of them: and they shall spoil the pomp of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed.
field: 26032013
26
32
13
I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them.
field: 26032014
26
32
14
Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26032015
26
32
15
When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country shall be destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I am the LORD.
field: 26032016
26
32
16
This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26032017
26
32
17
It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26032018
26
32
18
Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.
field: 26032019
26
32
19
Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised.
field: 26032020
26
32
20
They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes.
field: 26032021
26
32
21
The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
field: 26032022
26
32
22
Asshur is there and all her company: his graves are about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword:
field: 26032023
26
32
23
Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused terror in the land of the living.
field: 26032024
26
32
24
There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.
field: 26032025
26
32
25
They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain.
field: 26032026

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.
field: 26032027
26
32
27
And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.
field: 26032028

Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them that are slain with the sword.

There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid by them that were slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.

There be the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit.

Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.

Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26033002
26
33
2
Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
field: 26033003
26
33
3
If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
field: 26033004
26
33
4
Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
field: 26033005
26
33
5
He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
field: 26033006
26
33
6
But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
field: 26033007
26
33
7
So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
field: 26033008
26
33
8
When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
field: 26033009
26
33
9
Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
field: 26033010
26
33
10
Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live?
field: 26033011
26
33
11
Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
field: 26033012
26
33
12
Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.
field: 26033013
26
33
13
When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.
field: 26033014
26
33
14
Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
field: 26033015
26
33
15
If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
field: 26033016
26
33
16
None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
field: 26033017
26
33
17
Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
field: 26033018
26
33
18
When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
field: 26033019
26
33
19
But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
field: 26033020
26
33
20
Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
field: 26033021

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.
field: 26033022
26
33
22
Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
field: 26033023
26
33
23
Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26033024
26
33
24
Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.
field: 26033025
26
33
25
Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?
field: 26033026
26
33
26
Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land?
field: 26033027
26
33
27
Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
field: 26033028
26
33
28
For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.
field: 26033029
26
33
29
Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.
field: 26033030
26
33
30
Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD.
field: 26033031
26
33
31
And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.
field: 26033032
26
33
32
And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.
field: 26033033
26
33

And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
field: 26034001

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26034002
26
34
2
Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?
field: 26034003
26
34
3
Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.
field: 26034004
26
34
4
The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.
field: 26034005
26
34
5
And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.
field: 26034006
26
34
6
My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.
field: 26034007
26
34
7
Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
field: 26034008
26
34
8
As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;
field: 26034009
26
34
9
Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
field: 26034010
26
34
10
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
field: 26034011
26
34
11
For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
field: 26034012
26
34
12
As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
field: 26034013
26
34
13
And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
field: 26034014
26
34
14
I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.
field: 26034015
26
34
15
I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26034016
26
34
16
I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.
field: 26034017
26
34
17
And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats.
field: 26034018
26
34
18
Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?
field: 26034019
26
34
19
And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
field: 26034020
26
34
20
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.
field: 26034021
26
34
21
Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;
field: 26034022
26
34
22
Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
field: 26034023
26
34
23
And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
field: 26034024

And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.
field: 26034025
26
34
25
And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
field: 26034026
26
34
26
And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.
field: 26034027
26
34
27
And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.
field: 26034028
26
34
28
And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid.
field: 26034029
26
34
29
And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.
field: 26034030
26
34
30
Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26034031
26
34
31
And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26035001
26
35
1
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26035002
26
35
2
Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
field: 26035003
26
35
3
And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.
field: 26035004
26
35
4
I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
field: 26035005
26
35
5
Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:
field: 26035006
26
35
6
Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
field: 26035007
26
35
7
Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
field: 26035008
26
35
8
And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
field: 26035009
26
35
9
I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26035010
26
35
10
Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:
field: 26035011
26
35
11
Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
field: 26035012
26
35
12
And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
field: 26035013
26
35
13
Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
field: 26035014
26
35
14
Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
field: 26035015
26
35
15
As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26036001
26
36
1
Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:
field: 26036002
26
36
2
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:
field: 26036003
26
36
3
Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people:
field: 26036004
26
36
4
Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;
field: 26036005
26
36
5
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.
field: 26036006
26
36
6
Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:
field: 26036007
26
36
7
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame.
field: 26036008
26
36
8
But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.
field: 26036009
26
36
9
For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown:
field: 26036010
26
36
10
And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded:
field: 26036011
26
36
11
And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26036012
26
36
12
Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of men.
field: 26036013
26
36
13
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations:
field: 26036014
26
36
14
Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26036015
26
36
15
Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26036016
26
36
16
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26036017
26
36
17
Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.
field: 26036018
26
36
18
Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:
field: 26036019
26
36
19
And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.
field: 26036020
26
36
20
And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.
field: 26036021
26
36
21
But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.
field: 26036022
26
36
22
Therefore say unto the house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.
field: 26036023
26
36
23
And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
field: 26036024
26
36
24
For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
field: 26036025
26
36
25
Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
field: 26036026
26
36
26
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
field: 26036027
26
36
27
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
field: 26036028
26
36
28
And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
field: 26036029
26
36
29
I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.
field: 26036030
26
36
30
And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.
field: 26036031
26
36
31
Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
field: 26036032
26
36
32
Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.
field: 26036033
26
36
33
Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.
field: 26036034
26
36
34
And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.
field: 26036035
26
36
35
And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.
field: 26036036
26
36
36
Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.
field: 26036037
26
36
37
Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.
field: 26036038
26
36
38
As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26037001
26
37
1
The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
field: 26037002
26
37
2
And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
field: 26037003
26
37
3
And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
field: 26037004
26
37
4
Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
field: 26037005
26
37
5
Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
field: 26037006
26
37
6
And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26037007
26
37
7
So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
field: 26037008
26
37
8
And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
field: 26037009
26
37
9
Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
field: 26037010
26
37
10
So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
field: 26037011
26
37
11
Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
field: 26037012
26
37
12
Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
field: 26037013
26
37
13
And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
field: 26037014
26
37
14
And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
field: 26037015
26
37
15
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
field: 26037016
26
37
16
Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions:
field: 26037017
26
37
17
And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
field: 26037018
26
37
18
And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
field: 26037019
26
37
19
Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
field: 26037020
26
37
20
And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
field: 26037021
26
37
21
And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
field: 26037022
26
37
22
And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
field: 26037023
26
37
23
Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
field: 26037024
26
37
24
And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
field: 26037025
26
37
25
And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
field: 26037026
26
37
26
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
field: 26037027
26
37
27
My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
field: 26037028
26
37
28
And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
field: 26038001
26
38
1
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 26038002
26
38
2
Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
field: 26038003
26
38
3
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
field: 26038004
26
38
4
And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
field: 26038005
26
38
5
Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
field: 26038006
26
38
6
Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
field: 26038007
26
38
7
Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
field: 26038008
26
38
8
After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
field: 26038009
26
38
9
Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
field: 26038010
26
38
10
Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
field: 26038011
26
38
11
And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
field: 26038012
26
38
12
To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
field: 26038013
26
38
13
Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
field: 26038014
26
38
14
Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
field: 26038015
26
38
15
And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
field: 26038016
26
38
16
And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
field: 26038017
26
38
17
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
field: 26038018
26
38
18
And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
field: 26038019
26
38
19
For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
field: 26038020
26
38
20
So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
field: 26038021
26
38
21
And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.
field: 26038022
26
38
22
And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
field: 26038023
26
38
23
Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26039001
26
39
1
Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
field: 26039002
26
39
2
And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
field: 26039003
26
39
3
And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
field: 26039004
26
39
4
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
field: 26039005
26
39
5
Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26039006
26
39
6
And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
field: 26039007
26
39
7
So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
field: 26039008
26
39
8
Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
field: 26039009
26
39
9
And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
field: 26039010
26
39
10
So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26039011

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.
field: 26039012
26
39
12
And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
field: 26039013
26
39
13
Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26039014
26
39
14
And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
field: 26039015
26
39
15
And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
field: 26039016
26
39
16
And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
field: 26039017

39
17
And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
field: 26039018
26
39
18
Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
field: 26039019
26
39
19
And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
field: 26039020
26
39
20
Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26039021
26
39
21
And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
field: 26039022
26
39
22
So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
field: 26039023
26
39
23
And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
field: 26039024
26
39
24
According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
field: 26039025
26
39
25
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
field: 26039026
26
39
26
After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
field: 26039027
26
39
27
When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
field: 26039028
26
39
28
Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
field: 26039029
26
39
29
Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

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.
field: 26040002
26
40
2
In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south.
field: 26040003
26
40
3
And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
field: 26040004
26
40
4
And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
field: 26040005
26
40
5
And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
field: 26040006
26
40
6
Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad; and the other threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad.
field: 26040007
26
40
7
And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed.
field: 26040008
26
40
8
He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.
field: 26040009
26
40
9
Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward.
field: 26040010
26
40
10
And the little chambers of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
field: 26040011
26
40
11
And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
field: 26040012
26
40
12
The space also before the little chambers was one cubit on this side, and the space was one cubit on that side: and the little chambers were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
field: 26040013
26
40
13
He measured then the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth was five and twenty cubits, door against door.
field: 26040014
26
40
14
He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate.
field: 26040015
26
40
15
And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits.
field: 26040016
26
40
16
And there were narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and windows were round about inward: and upon each post were palm trees.
field: 26040017
26
40
17
Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, there were chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement.
field: 26040018
26
40
18
And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates was the lower pavement.
field: 26040019
26
40
19
Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits eastward and northward.
field: 26040020
26
40
20
And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.
field: 26040021
26
40
21
And the little chambers thereof were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
field: 26040022
26
40
22
And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees, were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof were before them.
field: 26040023
26
40
23
And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits.
field: 26040024
26
40
24
After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures.
field: 26040025
26
40
25
And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
field: 26040026
26
40
26
And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof were before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof.
field: 26040027
26
40
27
And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.
field: 26040028
26
40
28
And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;
field: 26040029
26
40
29
And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
field: 26040030
26
40
30
And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.
field: 26040031
26
40
31
And the arches thereof were toward the utter court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof: and the going up to it had eight steps.
field: 26040032
26
40
32
And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures.
field: 26040033
26
40
33
And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, were according to these measures: and there were windows therein and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
field: 26040034
26
40
34
And the arches thereof were toward the outward court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had eight steps.
field: 26040035
26
40
35
And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to these measures;
field: 26040036
26
40
36
The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, and the windows to it round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
field: 26040037
26
40
37
And the posts thereof were toward the utter court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had eight steps.
field: 26040038
26
40
38
And the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering.
field: 26040039
26
40
39
And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.
field: 26040040
26
40
40
And at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side, which was at the porch of the gate, were two tables.
field: 26040041
26
40
41
Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew their sacrifices.
field: 26040042
26
40
42
And the four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice.
field: 26040043
26
40
43
And within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.
field: 26040044
26
40
44
And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south: one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.
field: 26040045
26
40
45
And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.
field: 26040046
26
40
46
And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister unto him.
field: 26040047
26
40
47
So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house.
field: 26040048
26
40
48
And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.
field: 26040049
26
40
49
The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits, and he brought me by the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
field: 26041001
26
41
1
Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle.
field: 26041002
26
41
2
And the breadth of the door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits.
field: 26041003
26
41
3
Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits.
field: 26041004
26
41
4
So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place.
field: 26041005
26
41
5
After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.
field: 26041006
26
41
6
And the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house.
field: 26041007
26
41
7
And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst.
field: 26041008
26
41
8
I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.
field: 26041009
26
41
9
The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber without, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within.
field: 26041010
26
41
10
And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.
field: 26041011
26
41
11
And the doors of the side chambers were toward the place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about.
field: 26041012
26
41
12
Now the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits.
field: 26041013
26
41
13
So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long;
field: 26041014
26
41
14
Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits.
field: 26041015
26
41
15
And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which was behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court;
field: 26041016
26
41
16
The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered;
field: 26041017
26
41
17
To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure.
field: 26041018
26
41
18
And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces;
field: 26041019
26
41
19
So that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it was made through all the house round about.
field: 26041020
26
41
20
From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made, and on the wall of the temple.
field: 26041021
26
41
21
The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other.
field: 26041022
26
41
22
The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the LORD.
field: 26041023
26
41
23
And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
field: 26041024
26
41
24
And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door.
field: 26041025
26
41
25
And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without.
field: 26041026
26
41
26
And there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks.
field: 26042001
26
42
1
Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was before the building toward the north.
field: 26042002
26
42
2
Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits.
field: 26042003
26
42
3
Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and over against the pavement which was for the utter court, was gallery against gallery in three stories.
field: 26042004
26
42
4
And before the chambers was a walk to ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.
field: 26042005
26
42
5
Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building.
field: 26042006
26
42
6
For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
field: 26042007
26
42
7
And the wall that was without over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.
field: 26042008
26
42
8
For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits.
field: 26042009
26
42
9
And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court.
field: 26042010
26
42
10
The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building.
field: 26042011
26
42
11
And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they: and all their goings out were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
field: 26042012
26
42
12
And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.
field: 26042013
26
42
13
Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they be holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy.
field: 26042014
26
42
14
When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to those things which are for the people.
field: 26042015
26
42
15
Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about.
field: 26042016
26
42
16
He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
field: 26042017
26
42
17
He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
field: 26042018
26
42
18
He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.
field: 26042019
26
42
19
He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
field: 26042020
26
42
20
He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.
field: 26043001
26
43
1
Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:
field: 26043002
26
43
2
And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
field: 26043003
26
43
3
And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.
field: 26043004
26
43
4
And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
field: 26043005
26
43
5
So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
field: 26043006
26
43
6
And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
field: 26043007
26
43
7
And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.
field: 26043008
26
43
8
In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.
field: 26043009
26
43
9
Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
field: 26043010
26
43
10
Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.
field: 26043011
26

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.

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.

13
And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar.
field: 26043014
26
43
14
And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower settle shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle even to the greater settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit.
field: 26043015
26
43
15
So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and upward shall be four horns.
field: 26043016
26
43
16
And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof.
field: 26043017
26
43
17
And the settle shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen broad in the four squares thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit about; and his stairs shall look toward the east.

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.
field: 26043019
26
43
19
And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin offering.
field: 26043020
26
43
20
And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.
field: 26043021
26
43
21
Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.
field: 26043022
26
43
22
And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bullock.
field: 26043023
26
43
23
When thou hast made an end of cleansing it, thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
field: 26043024
26
43
24
And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
field: 26043025
26
43
25
Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.
field: 26043026
26
43
26
Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.
field: 26043027
26
43
27
And when these days are expired, it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD.

Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut.
field: 26044002
26
44
2
Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
field: 26044003
26
44
3
It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
field: 26044004
26
44
4
Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face.
field: 26044005
26
44

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.
field: 26044006

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,
field: 26044007
26
44
7
In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.
field: 26044008
26
44
8
And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
field: 26044009
26
44
9
Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.
field: 26044010
26
44
10
And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.
field: 26044011
26
44
11
Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them.
field: 26044012
26
44
12
Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity.
field: 26044013
26
44
13
And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
field: 26044014
26
44
14
But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
field: 26044015
26
44
15
But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:
field: 26044016
26
44
16
They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.
field: 26044017
26
44
17
And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
field: 26044018
26
44
18
They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat.
field: 26044019
26
44
19
And when they go forth into the utter court, even into the utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.
field: 26044020
26
44
20
Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.
field: 26044021
26
44
21
Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.
field: 26044022
26
44
22
Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.
field: 26044023
26
44
23
And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
field: 26044024
26
44
24
And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
field: 26044025
26
44
25
And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.
field: 26044026
26

And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.
field: 26044027
26
44
27
And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26044028
26
44
28
And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession.
field: 26044029
26
44
29
They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering: and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.
field: 26044030
26
44
30
And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest's: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.
field: 26044031
26
44
31
The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
field: 26045001
26
45
1
Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the LORD, an holy portion of the land: the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds, and the breadth shall be ten thousand. This shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about.
field: 26045002
26
45
2
Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred in length, with five hundred in breadth, square round about; and fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof.
field: 26045003
26
45
3
And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary and the most holy place.
field: 26045004
26
45
4
The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests the ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto the LORD: and it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the sanctuary.
field: 26045005
26
45
5
And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the ten thousand of breadth shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house, have for themselves, for a possession for twenty chambers.
field: 26045006
26
45
6
And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, over against the oblation of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.
field: 26045007
26
45
7
And a portion shall be for the prince on the one side and on the other side of the oblation of the holy portion, and of the possession of the city, before the oblation of the holy portion, and before the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and the length shall be over against one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border.
field: 26045008
26
45
8
In the land shall be his possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my people; and the rest of the land shall they give to the house of Israel according to their tribes.

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.
field: 26045010
26
45
10
Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.
field: 26045011
26
45
11
The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth part of an homer: the measure thereof shall be after the homer.
field: 26045012
26
45
12
And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs: twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh.

13
This is the oblation that ye shall offer; the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of barley:
field: 26045014
26
45
14
Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, ye shall offer the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, which is an homer of ten baths; for ten baths are an homer:
field: 26045015
26
45
15
And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the fat pastures of Israel; for a meat offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make reconciliation for them, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26045016
26
45
16
All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the prince in Israel.
field: 26045017
26
45
17
And it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel.
field: 26045018
26
45
18
Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the first month, in the first day of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary:
field: 26045019
26
45
19
And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.
field: 26045020
26
45
20
And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the house.
field: 26045021
26
45
21
In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.
field: 26045022
26
45
22
And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering.
field: 26045023
26
45
23
And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the LORD, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering.
field: 26045024
26
45
24
And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil for an ephah.
field: 26045025
26
45
25
In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, shall he do the like in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the meat offering, and according to the oil.
field: 26046001
26

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.
field: 26046002
26
46
2
And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
field: 26046003
26
46
3
Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.
field: 26046004
26
46
4
And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD in the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.
field: 26046005
26
46
5
And the meat offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and the meat offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
field: 26046006
26
46
6
And in the day of the new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without blemish.
field: 26046007
26
46
7
And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall attain unto, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
field: 26046008
26
46
8
And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of that gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof.
field: 26046009
26
46
9
But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth over against it.
field: 26046010
26
46
10
And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth.
field: 26046011
26
46
11
And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meat offering shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
field: 26046012
26
46
12
Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, one shall then open him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate.
field: 26046013
26
46
13
Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the LORD of a lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning.
field: 26046014
26
46
14
And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual ordinance unto the LORD.
field: 26046015
26
46
15
Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat offering, and the oil, every morning for a continual burnt offering.
field: 26046016
26
46
16
Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons'; it shall be their possession by inheritance.
field: 26046017
26
46
17
But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons' for them.
field: 26046018
26
46
18
Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession.
field: 26046019
26
46
19
After he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward.
field: 26046020
26
46
20
Then said he unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meat offering; that they bear them not out into the utter court, to sanctify the people.
field: 26046021
26
46
21
Then he brought me forth into the utter court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.
field: 26046022
26
46
22
In the four corners of the court there were courts joined of forty cubits long and thirty broad: these four corners were of one measure.
field: 26046023
26
46
23
And there was a row of building round about in them, round about them four, and it was made with boiling places under the rows round about.
field: 26046024
26
46
24
Then said he unto me, These are the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
field: 26047001
26
47
1
Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
field: 26047002
26
47
2
Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
field: 26047003
26
47
3
And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.
field: 26047004
26
47
4
Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.
field: 26047005
26
47
5
Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
field: 26047006
26
47
6
And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
field: 26047007
26
47
7
Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
field: 26047008
26
47
8
Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
field: 26047009
26
47
9
And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.
field: 26047010
26
47
10
And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
field: 26047011
26
47
11
But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.
field: 26047012
26
47
12
And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
field: 26047013
26
47
13
Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
field: 26047014
26
47
14
And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
field: 26047015
26
47
15
And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;
field: 26047016
26
47
16
Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.
field: 26047017
26
47
17
And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.
field: 26047018
26
47
18
And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side.
field: 26047019
26
47
19
And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.

The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.
field: 26047021
26
47
21
So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.
field: 26047022
26
47
22
And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
field: 26047023
26
47
23
And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD.

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.
field: 26048002
26
48

And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Asher.
field: 26048003

And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Naphtali.

And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Judah.
field: 26048008
26
48
8
And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.
field: 26048009
26
48
9
The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth.
field: 26048010
26
48
10
And for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst thereof.
field: 26048011
26
48
11
It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
field: 26048012
26
48
12
And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites.
field: 26048013
26
48
13
And over against the border of the priests the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.
field: 26048014
26
48
14
And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the LORD.
field: 26048015
26
48
15
And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.
field: 26048016
26
48
16
And these shall be the measures thereof; the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.
field: 26048017
26
48
17
And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty.
field: 26048018
26
48
18
And the residue in length over against the oblation of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be over against the oblation of the holy portion; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city.
field: 26048019
26
48
19
And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel.
field: 26048020
26
48
20
All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city.
field: 26048021
26
48
21
And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city, over against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, over against the portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof.
field: 26048022
26
48
22
Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.
field: 26048023
26
48
23
As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin shall have a portion.
field: 26048024
26
48
24
And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon shall have a portion.
field: 26048025
26
48
25
And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar a portion.

48
26
And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, Zebulun a portion.
field: 26048027

48
27
And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, Gad a portion.
field: 26048028
26
48
28
And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of strife in Kadesh, and to the river toward the great sea.
field: 26048029

48
29
This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 26048030
26
48
30
And these are the goings out of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures.
field: 26048031
26
48
31
And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.
field: 26048032
26
48
32
And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.
field: 26048033
26
48
33
And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun.
field: 26048034
26
48
34
At the west side four thousand and five hundred, with their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.
field: 26048035

It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.

In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.
field: 27001002
27
1
2
And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.
field: 27001003
27

3
And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes;
field: 27001004
27
1
4
Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
field: 27001005
27
1
5
And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.
field: 27001006
27
1
6
Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
field: 27001007
27
1
7
Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.
field: 27001008
27
1
8
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
field: 27001009
27
1
9
Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.
field: 27001010
27
1
10
And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king.
field: 27001011
27
1
11
Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
field: 27001012
27
1
12
Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
field: 27001013
27
1
13
Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.
field: 27001014
27
1
14
So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.
field: 27001015
27
1
15
And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat.
field: 27001016
27
1
16
Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse.
field: 27001017
27
1
17
As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
field: 27001018
27
1
18
Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
field: 27001019
27
1
19
And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.
field: 27001020
27
1
20
And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.
field: 27001021
27
1
21
And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus.
field: 27002001
27
2
1
And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.
field: 27002002
27
2
2
Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.
field: 27002003
27
2
3
And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
field: 27002004
27
2
4
Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.
field: 27002005
27
2
5
The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
field: 27002006
27
2
6
But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.
field: 27002007
27
2
7
They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it.
field: 27002008
27
2
8
The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.
field: 27002009
27
2
9
But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof.
field: 27002010
27
2
10
The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.
field: 27002011
27
2
11
And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.
field: 27002012
27
2
12
For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
field: 27002013
27
2
13
And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.
field: 27002014
27
2
14
Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:
field: 27002015
27
2
15
He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
field: 27002016
27
2
16
Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation.
field: 27002017
27
2
17
Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
field: 27002018
27
2
18
That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
field: 27002019
27
2
19
Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
field: 27002020
27
2
20
Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
field: 27002021
27
2
21
And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
field: 27002022
27
2
22
He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
field: 27002023
27
2
23
I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter.
field: 27002024
27
2
24
Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation.
field: 27002025
27
2
25
Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.
field: 27002026
27
2
26
The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?
field: 27002027
27
2
27
Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king;
field: 27002028
27
2
28
But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;
field: 27002029
27
2
29
As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.
field: 27002030
27
2
30
But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.
field: 27002031
27
2
31
Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
field: 27002032
27
2
32
This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
field: 27002033
27
2
33
His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
field: 27002034
27
2
34
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
field: 27002035
27
2
35
Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
field: 27002036
27
2
36
This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
field: 27002037
27
2
37
Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
field: 27002038
27
2
38
And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.
field: 27002039
27
2
39
And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
field: 27002040
27
2
40
And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
field: 27002041
27
2
41
And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
field: 27002042
27
2
42
And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
field: 27002043
27
2
43
And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
field: 27002044
27
2
44
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
field: 27002045
27
2
45
Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
field: 27002046
27
2
46
Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.
field: 27002047
27
2
47
The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.
field: 27002048
27
2
48
Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.
field: 27002049
27
2
49
Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.
field: 27003001
27

1
Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
field: 27003002
27
3
2
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
field: 27003003
27
3
3
Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
field: 27003004
27
3
4
Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,
field: 27003005
27
3
5
That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:
field: 27003006
27
3
6
And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
field: 27003007
27
3
7
Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
field: 27003008
27
3
8
Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.
field: 27003009
27
3
9
They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever.
field: 27003010
27
3
10
Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image:
field: 27003011
27
3
11
And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
field: 27003012
27
3
12
There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
field: 27003013
27
3
13
Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king.
field: 27003014
27
3
14
Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?

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?
field: 27003016
27

16
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
field: 27003017
27
3
17
If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
field: 27003018
27
3
18
But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
field: 27003019
27
3
19
Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
field: 27003020
27
3
20
And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
field: 27003021
27
3
21
Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
field: 27003022
27
3
22
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.
field: 27003023
27
3
23
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
field: 27003024
27
3
24
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
field: 27003025
27
3
25
He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
field: 27003026
27
3
26
Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire.
field: 27003027
27
3
27
And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.
field: 27003028
27
3
28
Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
field: 27003029
27
3
29
Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
field: 27003030
27
3
30
Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.
field: 27004001
27
4
1
Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
field: 27004002
27
4
2
I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me.
field: 27004003
27
4
3
How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.
field: 27004004
27
4
4
I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace:
field: 27004005
27
4
5
I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
field: 27004006
27
4
6
Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.
field: 27004007
27
4
7
Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.
field: 27004008
27
4
8
But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my God, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, saying,
field: 27004009
27
4
9
O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.
field: 27004010
27
4
10
Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great.
field: 27004011
27
4
11
The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:
field: 27004012
27
4
12
The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.
field: 27004013
27
4
13
I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven;
field: 27004014
27
4
14
He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches:
field: 27004015
27
4
15
Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth:
field: 27004016
27
4
16
Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.
field: 27004017
27
4
17
This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
field: 27004018
27
4
18
This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.
field: 27004019
27
4
19
Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.
field: 27004020
27
4
20
The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;
field: 27004021
27
4
21
Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation:
field: 27004022
27
4
22
It is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.
field: 27004023
27
4
23
And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;
field: 27004024
27
4
24
This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:
field: 27004025
27
4
25
That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
field: 27004026
27
4
26
And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.
field: 27004027
27
4
27
Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.
field: 27004028
27
4
28
All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
field: 27004029
27
4
29
At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.
field: 27004030
27
4
30
The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?
field: 27004031
27
4
31
While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.
field: 27004032
27
4
32
And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
field: 27004033
27
4
33
The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.
field: 27004034
27
4
34
And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
field: 27004035
27
4
35
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
field: 27004036
27
4
36
At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.
field: 27004037
27
4
37
Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
field: 27005001
27
5
1
Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
field: 27005002
27
5
2
Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.
field: 27005003
27
5
3
Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them.
field: 27005004
27
5
4
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
field: 27005005
27
5
5
In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
field: 27005006
27
5
6
Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
field: 27005007
27
5
7
The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
field: 27005008
27
5
8
Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.
field: 27005009
27
5
9
Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.
field: 27005010
27
5
10
Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed:
field: 27005011
27
5
11
There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;
field: 27005012
27
5
12
Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.
field: 27005013
27
5
13
Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?
field: 27005014
27
5
14
I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee.
field: 27005015
27
5
15
And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing:
field: 27005016
27
5
16
And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.
field: 27005017
27
5
17
Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
field: 27005018
27
5
18
O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:
field: 27005019
27
5
19
And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down.
field: 27005020
27
5
20
But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:
field: 27005021
27
5
21
And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
field: 27005022
27
5
22
And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;
field: 27005023
27
5
23
But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
field: 27005024
27
5
24
Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
field: 27005025
27
5
25
And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
field: 27005026
27
5
26
This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
field: 27005027
27
5
27
TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
field: 27005028
27
5
28
PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
field: 27005029
27
5
29
Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
field: 27005030
27
5
30
In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
field: 27005031
27
5
31
And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.
field: 27006001
27
6
1
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;
field: 27006002
27
6
2
And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.
field: 27006003
27
6
3
Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
field: 27006004
27
6
4
Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
field: 27006005
27
6
5
Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
field: 27006006
27
6
6
Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.
field: 27006007
27
6
7
All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
field: 27006008
27
6
8
Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
field: 27006009
27
6
9
Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
field: 27006010
27
6
10
Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
field: 27006011
27
6
11
Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
field: 27006012
27
6
12
Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
field: 27006013
27
6
13
Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.
field: 27006014
27
6
14
Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him.
field: 27006015
27
6
15
Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.
field: 27006016
27
6
16
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
field: 27006017
27
6
17
And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.
field: 27006018
27
6
18
Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him.
field: 27006019
27
6
19
Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.
field: 27006020
27
6
20
And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?
field: 27006021
27
6
21
Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
field: 27006022
27
6
22
My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
field: 27006023
27
6
23
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.
field: 27006024
27
6
24
And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.
field: 27006025
27
6
25
Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
field: 27006026
27
6
26
I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
field: 27006027
27
6
27
He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
field: 27006028
27
6
28
So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
field: 27007001
27

1
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.
field: 27007002
27
7
2
Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
field: 27007003
27
7
3
And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
field: 27007004
27
7
4
The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.

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.
field: 27007006
27
7
6
After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
field: 27007007
27
7
7
After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
field: 27007008
27
7
8
I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
field: 27007009
27
7
9
I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
field: 27007010
27
7
10
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
field: 27007011
27
7
11
I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
field: 27007012
27
7
12
As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
field: 27007013
27
7
13
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
field: 27007014
27
7
14
And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
field: 27007015
27
7
15
I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
field: 27007016
27
7
16
I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
field: 27007017
27
7
17
These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
field: 27007018
27
7
18
But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
field: 27007019
27
7
19
Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
field: 27007020
27
7
20
And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
field: 27007021
27
7
21
I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
field: 27007022
27
7
22
Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
field: 27007023
27
7
23
Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
field: 27007024
27
7
24
And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
field: 27007025
27
7
25
And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
field: 27007026
27
7
26
But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
field: 27007027
27
7
27
And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
field: 27007028
27
7
28
Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
field: 27008001
27

1
In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.
field: 27008002
27
8
2
And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.
field: 27008003
27
8
3
Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
field: 27008004
27
8
4
I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.
field: 27008005
27
8
5
And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
field: 27008006
27
8
6
And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
field: 27008007
27
8
7
And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
field: 27008008
27
8
8
Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
field: 27008009
27
8
9
And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.
field: 27008010
27
8
10
And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
field: 27008011
27
8
11
Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down.
field: 27008012
27
8
12
And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
field: 27008013
27
8
13
Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
field: 27008014
27
8
14
And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
field: 27008015
27
8
15
And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
field: 27008016
27
8
16
And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
field: 27008017
27
8
17
So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.
field: 27008018
27
8
18
Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.
field: 27008019
27
8
19
And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.
field: 27008020
27
8
20
The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.
field: 27008021
27
8
21
And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
field: 27008022
27
8
22
Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
field: 27008023
27
8
23
And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
field: 27008024
27
8
24
And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
field: 27008025
27
8
25
And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
field: 27008026
27
8
26
And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.
field: 27008027
27
8
27
And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.

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;

27

2
In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
field: 27009003
27

3
And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
field: 27009004
27
9
4
And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
field: 27009005
27
9
5
We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
field: 27009006
27
9
6
Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
field: 27009007
27
9
7
O LORD, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
field: 27009008
27
9
8
O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
field: 27009009
27
9
9
To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;
field: 27009010
27
9
10
Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
field: 27009011
27
9
11
Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
field: 27009012
27
9
12
And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
field: 27009013
27
9
13
As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
field: 27009014
27
9
14
Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.
field: 27009015
27
9
15
And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
field: 27009016
27
9
16
O LORD, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.
field: 27009017
27
9
17
Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.
field: 27009018
27
9
18
O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.
field: 27009019
27
9
19
O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.

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;
field: 27009021
27

21
Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
field: 27009022
27
9
22
And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.
field: 27009023
27
9
23
At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
field: 27009024

24
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

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.
field: 27009026
27
9
26
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
field: 27009027
27
9
27
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

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.
field: 27010002
27
10
2
In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
field: 27010003
27
10
3
I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
field: 27010004
27
10
4
And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;
field: 27010005
27
10
5
Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
field: 27010006
27
10
6
His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
field: 27010007
27
10
7
And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
field: 27010008
27
10
8
Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
field: 27010009
27
10
9
Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
field: 27010010
27
10
10
And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
field: 27010011
27
10
11
And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
field: 27010012
27
10
12
Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
field: 27010013
27
10
13
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
field: 27010014
27
10
14
Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.
field: 27010015
27
10
15
And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
field: 27010016
27
10
16
And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.
field: 27010017
27
10
17
For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
field: 27010018
27
10
18
Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
field: 27010019
27
10
19
And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
field: 27010020
27
10
20
Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.
field: 27010021
27
10
21
But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.

Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.
field: 27011002
27
11
2
And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
field: 27011003
27
11
3
And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
field: 27011004
27
11
4
And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.
field: 27011005
27
11
5
And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.
field: 27011006
27
11
6
And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.
field: 27011007
27
11
7
But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:
field: 27011008
27
11
8
And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north.
field: 27011009
27
11
9
So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.
field: 27011010
27
11
10
But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress.
field: 27011011
27
11
11
And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand.
field: 27011012
27
11
12
And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it.
field: 27011013
27
11
13
For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.
field: 27011014
27
11
14
And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.
field: 27011015
27
11
15
So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.
field: 27011016
27
11
16
But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.
field: 27011017
27
11
17
He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.
field: 27011018
27
11
18
After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.
field: 27011019
27
11
19
Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.
field: 27011020
27
11
20
Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
field: 27011021

21
And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
field: 27011022
27
11
22
And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
field: 27011023
27
11
23
And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
field: 27011024
27
11
24
He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
field: 27011025
27
11
25
And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.
field: 27011026
27
11
26
Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.
field: 27011027
27
11
27
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.
field: 27011028
27
11
28
Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.
field: 27011029
27
11
29
At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.
field: 27011030
27
11
30
For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.
field: 27011031
27
11
31
And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
field: 27011032
27
11
32
And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
field: 27011033
27
11
33
And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
field: 27011034
27
11
34
Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
field: 27011035
27
11
35
And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
field: 27011036
27
11
36
And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
field: 27011037
27
11
37
Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
field: 27011038
27
11
38
But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
field: 27011039
27
11
39
Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
field: 27011040
27
11
40
And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
field: 27011041
27
11
41
He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
field: 27011042
27
11
42
He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
field: 27011043
27
11
43
But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
field: 27011044
27
11
44
But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.
field: 27011045
27
11
45
And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
field: 27012001
27
12
1
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
field: 27012002
27
12
2
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
field: 27012003
27
12
3
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
field: 27012004

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.
field: 27012005
27
12
5
Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
field: 27012006
27
12
6
And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
field: 27012007
27
12
7
And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
field: 27012008
27
12
8
And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
field: 27012009
27
12
9
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
field: 27012010
27
12
10
Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
field: 27012011
27
12
11
And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
field: 27012012
27
12
12
Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
field: 27012013

But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

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.
field: 28001002
28

2
The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD.
field: 28001003

So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.
field: 28001004
28

4
And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
field: 28001005
28
1
5
And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel, in the valley of Jezreel.
field: 28001006
28
1
6
And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.
field: 28001007
28
1
7
But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
field: 28001008
28
1
8
Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.
field: 28001009
28

9
Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.
field: 28001010
28

10
Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
field: 28001011
28
1
11
Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
field: 28002001
28

1
Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
field: 28002002
28

2
Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
field: 28002003
28
2
3
Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
field: 28002004
28
2
4
And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms.
field: 28002005
28
2
5
For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
field: 28002006
28
2
6
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
field: 28002007
28
2
7
And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
field: 28002008
28
2
8
For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.
field: 28002009
28
2
9
Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
field: 28002010
28
2
10
And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
field: 28002011
28
2
11
I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
field: 28002012
28
2
12
And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
field: 28002013
28
2
13
And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD.
field: 28002014
28
2
14
Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
field: 28002015
28
2
15
And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
field: 28002016
28
2
16
And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
field: 28002017
28
2
17
For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
field: 28002018
28
2
18
And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
field: 28002019
28
2
19
And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
field: 28002020
28
2
20
I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.
field: 28002021
28
2
21
And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
field: 28002022
28
2
22
And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
field: 28002023
28
2
23
And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.
field: 28003001

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.
field: 28003002
28
3
2
So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:
field: 28003003
28
3
3
And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for thee.
field: 28003004
28
3
4
For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim:
field: 28003005
28

5
Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.
field: 28004001

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.
field: 28004002

2
By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
field: 28004003
28
4
3
Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
field: 28004004
28
4
4
Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
field: 28004005
28
4
5
Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.
field: 28004006
28
4
6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
field: 28004007
28
4
7
As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
field: 28004008
28
4
8
They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
field: 28004009
28
4
9
And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
field: 28004010
28
4
10
For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.
field: 28004011
28
4
11
Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
field: 28004012
28
4
12
My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
field: 28004013
28
4
13
They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
field: 28004014
28
4
14
I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.
field: 28004015
28
4
15
Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.
field: 28004016
28

16
For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.

17
Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.
field: 28004018

Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.

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.
field: 28005002
28

2
And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.
field: 28005003
28
5
3
I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.
field: 28005004
28
5
4
They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD.
field: 28005005
28
5
5
And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity: Judah also shall fall with them.
field: 28005006
28
5
6
They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.
field: 28005007
28
5
7
They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.

Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin.

Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
field: 28005010
28

10
The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
field: 28005011
28

11
Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.
field: 28005012
28

Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
field: 28005013

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.
field: 28005014
28

14
For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
field: 28005015
28
5
15
I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
field: 28006001
28

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.
field: 28006002
28
6
2
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
field: 28006003
28
6
3
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
field: 28006004
28

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.
field: 28006005
28

5
Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.
field: 28006006
28

6
For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
field: 28006007
28

7
But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.
field: 28006009

And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.

I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.

Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.

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.
field: 28007002

2
And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
field: 28007003
28

3
They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
field: 28007004

They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.

In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
field: 28007006
28

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.
field: 28007007
28

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.

And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.

Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.

When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
field: 28007013
28

13
Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
field: 28007014
28

14
And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.

15
Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
field: 28007016

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.

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.

Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.

Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
field: 28008004

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.
field: 28008005

5
Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
field: 28008006
28

6
For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
field: 28008007
28

7
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
field: 28008008

Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
field: 28008009

For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.

Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.

Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.

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.

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.

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.

2
The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.

They shall not dwell in the LORD's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.
field: 28009004
28

They shall not offer wine offerings to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.

What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?

For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles.

The days of visitation are come, the days of 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.
field: 28009008

The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.

They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.

I 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.

As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.

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!

Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.

Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

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.
field: 28009016
28

16
Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
field: 28009017

My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

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.
field: 28010002

10
2
Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
field: 28010003

10
3
For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?
field: 28010004

They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.

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.

It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.

As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.
field: 28010008

The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.

O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.
field: 28010010

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.
field: 28010011

11
And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.

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.
field: 28010013

Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.

Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.

So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.

When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.

I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.

I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.

He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.

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.

They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.

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.

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.

He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:

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;

Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.

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.

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.

And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.

And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.

Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his LORD return unto him.

When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.

And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.

According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.

Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:

I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.

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.

Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:

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.

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?

Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
field: 29002019

19
Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:

20
But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.
field: 29002021

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.

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:

29
And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

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.

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;

Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head:

So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth out of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.

Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

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.

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.

30

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.
field: 30007003

The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.

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.

Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

30

6
The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD.
field: 30007007
30

7
Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
field: 30007008
30
7
8
And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the LORD, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:
field: 30007009

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.

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.
field: 30007011
30
7
11
For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
field: 30007012
30
7
12
Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
field: 30007013
30
7
13
But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.
field: 30007014
30
7
14
Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:
field: 30007015
30
7
15
And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
field: 30007016
30
7
16
Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.
field: 30007017
30

17
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.

Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
field: 30008002

And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.

And 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.

Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
field: 32001002

2
Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
field: 32001003
32

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.
field: 32001004
32
1
4
But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
field: 32001005
32
1
5
Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.
field: 32001006
32
1
6
So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.
field: 32001007
32
1
7
And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
field: 32001008
32
1
8
Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?
field: 32001009
32
1
9
And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.
field: 32001010
32
1
10
Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him. Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
field: 32001011
32
1
11
Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.
field: 32001012
32
1
12
And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.
field: 32001013
32
1
13
Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.
field: 32001014
32
1
14
Wherefore they cried unto the LORD, and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee.
field: 32001015
32
1
15
So they look up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
field: 32001016
32

16
Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.

Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
field: 32002001
32

1
Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
field: 32002002
32
2
2
And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
field: 32002003
32
2
3
For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
field: 32002004
32
2
4
Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
field: 32002005
32
2
5
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
field: 32002006
32
2
6
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
field: 32002007
32
2
7
When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
field: 32002008
32

8
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
field: 32002009
32

9
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
field: 32002010
32

10
And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
field: 32003001
32
3
1
And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying,
field: 32003002
32
3
2
Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.
field: 32003003
32
3
3
So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.
field: 32003004
32
3
4
And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
field: 32003005
32
3
5
So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
field: 32003006
32
3
6
For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
field: 32003007
32
3
7
And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:
field: 32003008
32
3
8
But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
field: 32003009
32
3
9
Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
field: 32003010
32
3
10
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
field: 32004001
32
4
1
But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
field: 32004002
32
4
2
And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
field: 32004003
32
4
3
Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.
field: 32004004
32
4
4
Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?
field: 32004005
32
4
5
So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.
field: 32004006
32
4
6
And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.
field: 32004007
32
4
7
But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
field: 32004008
32
4
8
And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.
field: 32004009
32
4
9
And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.
field: 32004010
32
4
10
Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:
field: 32004011

11

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,

2
Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD's house should be built.
field: 37001003
37

3
Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
field: 37001004
37
1
4
Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?
field: 37001005
37
1
5
Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
field: 37001006
37
1
6
Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.
field: 37001007
37
1
7
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
field: 37001008
37

8
Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.
field: 37001009
37
1
9
Ye looked for much, and, lo it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
field: 37001010
37
1
10
Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.
field: 37001011
37
1
11
And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.
field: 37001012
37
1
12
Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD.
field: 37001013
37
1
13
Then spake Haggai the LORD's messenger in the LORD's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD.
field: 37001014
37
1
14
And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,

In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
field: 37002001

1
In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,
field: 37002002
37
2
2
Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,
field: 37002003
37
2
3
Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?
field: 37002004
37
2
4
Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts:
field: 37002005
37
2
5
According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.
field: 37002006
37
2
6
For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
field: 37002007
37
2
7
And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.
field: 37002008
37
2
8
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
field: 37002009
37
2
9
The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.
field: 37002010
37

10
In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
field: 37002011
37
2
11
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
field: 37002012
37
2
12
If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
field: 37002013
37
2
13
Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
field: 37002014
37
2
14
Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
field: 37002015
37
2
15
And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:
field: 37002016
37
2
16
Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.
field: 37002017
37
2
17
I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD.
field: 37002018
37
2
18
Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider it.
field: 37002019
37
2
19
Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.
field: 37002020
37
2
20
And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,
field: 37002021
37
2
21
Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;
field: 37002022
37
2
22
And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
field: 37002023
37
2
23
In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.

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,
field: 38001002
38
1
2
The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
field: 38001003
38
1
3
Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts.
field: 38001004
38
1
4
Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD.
field: 38001005
38
1
5
Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
field: 38001006
38
1
6
But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
field: 38001007
38

7
Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
field: 38001008
38
1
8
I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.
field: 38001009
38
1
9
Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
field: 38001010
38
1
10
And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
field: 38001011
38
1
11
And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.
field: 38001012
38
1
12
Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
field: 38001013
38
1
13
And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words.
field: 38001014
38
1
14
So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
field: 38001015
38
1
15
And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
field: 38001016
38
1
16
Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
field: 38001017
38
1
17
Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
field: 38001018
38
1
18
Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
field: 38001019
38
1
19
And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
field: 38001020
38
1
20
And the LORD shewed me four carpenters.
field: 38001021
38
1
21
Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.
field: 38002001
38
2
1
I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
field: 38002002
38
2
2
Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
field: 38002003
38
2
3
And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
field: 38002004
38
2
4
And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:
field: 38002005
38
2
5
For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
field: 38002006
38
2
6
Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.
field: 38002007
38
2
7
Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
field: 38002008
38
2
8
For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
field: 38002009
38
2
9
For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.
field: 38002010
38
2
10
Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
field: 38002011
38
2
11
And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
field: 38002012
38
2
12
And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
field: 38002013
38
2
13
Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
field: 38003001
38
3
1
And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
field: 38003002
38
3
2
And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
field: 38003003
38
3
3
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
field: 38003004
38
3
4
And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
field: 38003005
38
3
5
And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.
field: 38003006
38
3
6
And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying,
field: 38003007
38
3
7
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.
field: 38003008
38
3
8
Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.
field: 38003009
38
3
9
For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
field: 38003010
38
3
10
In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
field: 38004001
38
4
1
And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
field: 38004002
38
4
2
And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
field: 38004003
38
4
3
And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
field: 38004004
38
4
4
So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
field: 38004005
38
4
5
Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
field: 38004006
38
4
6
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
field: 38004007
38
4
7
Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
field: 38004008
38
4
8
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 38004009
38
4
9
The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
field: 38004010
38
4
10
For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
field: 38004011
38
4
11
Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
field: 38004012
38
4
12
And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
field: 38004013
38
4
13
And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
field: 38004014
38
4
14
Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth.
field: 38005001
38
5
1
Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
field: 38005002
38
5
2
And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
field: 38005003
38
5
3
Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
field: 38005004
38
5
4
I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
field: 38005005
38
5
5
Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.
field: 38005006
38
5
6
And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
field: 38005007
38
5
7
And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
field: 38005008
38
5
8
And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
field: 38005009
38
5
9
Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
field: 38005010
38
5
10
Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
field: 38005011
38
5
11
And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
field: 38006001
38
6
1
And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
field: 38006002
38
6
2
In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
field: 38006003
38
6
3
And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.
field: 38006004
38
6
4
Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?
field: 38006005
38
6
5
And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the LORD of all the earth.
field: 38006006
38
6
6
The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country.
field: 38006007
38
6
7
And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.
field: 38006008
38
6
8
Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
field: 38006009
38
6
9
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
field: 38006010
38
6
10
Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;
field: 38006011
38
6
11
Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;
field: 38006012
38
6
12
And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
field: 38006013
38
6
13
Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
field: 38006014
38
6
14
And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD.
field: 38006015
38
6
15
And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.
field: 38007001
38

1
And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chisleu;
field: 38007002
38
7
2
When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regemmelech, and their men, to pray before the LORD,
field: 38007003
38
7
3
And to speak unto the priests which were in the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?
field: 38007004
38
7
4
Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,
field: 38007005
38
7
5
Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me?
field: 38007006
38
7
6
And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
field: 38007007
38
7
7
Should ye not hear the words which the LORD hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the south and the plain?
field: 38007008
38
7
8
And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying,

Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:
field: 38007010
38

10
And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.

But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
field: 38007012
38
7
12
Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
field: 38007013
38

13
Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:
field: 38007014
38

14
But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.

Again the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
field: 38008003
38

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.
field: 38008004
38

4
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
field: 38008005
38
8
5
And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
field: 38008006

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.
field: 38008007
38
8
7
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
field: 38008008
38
8
8
And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
field: 38008009
38

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.
field: 38008010
38

10
For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour.
field: 38008011
38
8
11
But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts.
field: 38008012
38
8
12
For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.
field: 38008013
38
8
13
And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.
field: 38008014
38
8
14
For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented not:
field: 38008015
38
8
15
So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
field: 38008016
38
8
16
These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:
field: 38008017
38
8
17
And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD.
field: 38008018
38

18
And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying,
field: 38008019
38
8
19
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.
field: 38008020

20
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
field: 38008021
38
8
21
And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also.
field: 38008022
38
8
22
Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
field: 38008023
38

23
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.

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.

2
And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise.
field: 38009003

And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.

Behold, the LORD will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.

Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.

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.

38

10
And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.

As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;

13
When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
field: 38010003
38
10
3
Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.

Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.

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.

38
10
6
And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.
field: 38010007
38
10

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.
field: 38010008
38

8
I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
field: 38010009
38

9
And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again.
field: 38010010

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.

And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.

And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD.

Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.

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.

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.

Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
field: 38011005
38
11
5
Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
field: 38011006
38
11
6
For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.
field: 38011007
38
11
7
And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
field: 38011008
38
11
8
Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
field: 38011009
38
11
9
Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.
field: 38011010
38
11
10
And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
field: 38011011
38
11
11
And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
field: 38011012
38
11
12
And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
field: 38011013
38
11
13
And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
field: 38011014
38
11
14
Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
field: 38011015
38
11
15
And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
field: 38011016
38
11
16
For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
field: 38011017
38

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.

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.
field: 38012003
38
12
3
And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
field: 38012004
38
12
4
In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
field: 38012005
38
12
5
And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
field: 38012006
38
12
6
In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
field: 38012007
38
12
7
The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
field: 38012008
38
12
8
In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
field: 38012009
38
12
9
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
field: 38012010
38
12
10
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
field: 38012011
38
12
11
In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
field: 38012012
38
12
12
And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
field: 38012013

13
The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;

All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

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.
field: 38013002

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.
field: 38013003
38

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.
field: 38013004

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:

But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.

And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.

Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.

And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
field: 38013009
38
13

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.

Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
field: 38014003
38
14

Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
field: 38014004
38
14

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.
field: 38014005
38

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.
field: 38014006

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
field: 38014007

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.
field: 38014008

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.
field: 38014009

And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
field: 38014010
38

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.
field: 38014011
38
14
11
And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
field: 38014012
38
14
12
And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
field: 38014013
38
14
13
And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
field: 38014014
38
14
14
And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
field: 38014015
38
14
15
And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.
field: 38014016
38
14
16
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
field: 38014017
38
14
17
And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
field: 38014018
38

18
And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
field: 38014019
38

This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

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.

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.

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.

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?
field: 39001007
39

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.
field: 39001008

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.
field: 39001009

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.
field: 39001010

10
Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
field: 39001011

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.
field: 39001012
39
1
12
But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible.
field: 39001013
39
1
13
Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the LORD.
field: 39001014

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.

And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.
field: 39002002
39
2
2
If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
field: 39002003
39

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.

And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
field: 39002005
39
2
5
My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name.
field: 39002006
39
2
6
The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.
field: 39002007
39
2
7
For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.
field: 39002008
39
2
8
But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
field: 39002009
39
2
9
Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
field: 39002010
39

10
Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
field: 39002011
39
2
11
Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.
field: 39002012

12
The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts.
field: 39002013
39
2
13
And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand.
field: 39002014
39
2
14
Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
field: 39002015
39
2
15
And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
field: 39002016
39
2
16
For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
field: 39002017
39

17
Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?

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.
field: 39003002
39
3
2
But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
field: 39003003
39
3
3
And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
field: 39003004
39
3
4
Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
field: 39003005

5
And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.
field: 39003006

For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

7
Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
field: 39003008
39
3
8
Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
field: 39003009
39
3
9
Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
field: 39003010
39
3
10
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
field: 39003011
39
3
11
And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
field: 39003012
39
3
12
And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
field: 39003013
39
3
13
Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
field: 39003014
39
3
14
Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
field: 39003015
39
3
15
And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
field: 39003016

16
Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
field: 39003017
39
3
17
And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
field: 39003018

Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.

11
And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
field: 40001012
40

12
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
field: 40001013

And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;

And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;

16
And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
field: 40001017
40

17
So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
field: 40001018
40

18
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
field: 40001019
40
1
19
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
field: 40001020
40
1
20
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
field: 40001021
40
1
21
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
field: 40001022
40
1
22
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
field: 40001023
40
1
23
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
field: 40001024
40
1
24
Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
field: 40001025
40
1
25
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
field: 40002001

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,
field: 40002002
40
2
2
Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
field: 40002003
40
2
3
When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
field: 40002004
40
2
4
And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
field: 40002005
40
2
5
And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
field: 40002006
40
2
6
And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
field: 40002007
40
2
7
Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
field: 40002008
40
2
8
And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
field: 40002009
40
2
9
When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
field: 40002010
40
2
10
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
field: 40002011
40
2
11
And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
field: 40002012
40
2
12
And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
field: 40002013
40
2
13
And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
field: 40002014
40
2
14
When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
field: 40002015
40
2
15
And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
field: 40002016
40
2
16
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
field: 40002017
40
2
17
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
field: 40002018
40
2
18
In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
field: 40002019
40
2
19
But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
field: 40002020
40
2
20
Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.
field: 40002021
40
2
21
And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
field: 40002022
40
2
22
But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
field: 40002023
40
2
23
And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
field: 40003001
40

1
In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
field: 40003002
40
3
2
And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
field: 40003003
40
3
3
For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
field: 40003004
40
3
4
And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
field: 40003005
40
3
5
Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
field: 40003006
40
3
6
And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
field: 40003007
40
3
7
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
field: 40003008
40
3
8
Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
field: 40003009
40
3
9
And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
field: 40003010
40
3
10
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
field: 40003011
40
3
11
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
field: 40003012
40
3
12
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
field: 40003013
40
3
13
Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
field: 40003014
40
3
14
But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
field: 40003015
40
3
15
And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
field: 40003016
40
3
16
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
field: 40003017
40
3
17
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
field: 40004001
40
4
1
Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
field: 40004002
40
4
2
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
field: 40004003
40
4
3
And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
field: 40004004
40
4
4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
field: 40004005
40
4
5
Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
field: 40004006
40
4
6
And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
field: 40004007
40
4
7
Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
field: 40004008
40
4
8
Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
field: 40004009
40
4
9
And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
field: 40004010
40
4
10
Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
field: 40004011
40
4
11
Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
field: 40004012
40
4
12
Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
field: 40004013
40
4
13
And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
field: 40004014
40
4
14
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
field: 40004015
40
4
15
The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
field: 40004016
40

16
The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

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.
field: 40004019
40
4
19
And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
field: 40004020
40
4
20
And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
field: 40004021
40
4
21
And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
field: 40004022
40
4
22
And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
field: 40004023
40

23
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
field: 40004024
40
4
24
And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
field: 40004025

25
And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
field: 40005001
40

1
And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
field: 40005002
40
5
2
And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
field: 40005003
40
5
3
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
field: 40005004
40
5
4
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
field: 40005005
40
5
5
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
field: 40005006
40
5
6
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
field: 40005007
40
5
7
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
field: 40005008
40
5
8
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
field: 40005009
40
5
9
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
field: 40005010
40
5
10
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
field: 40005011
40
5
11
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
field: 40005012
40
5
12
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
field: 40005013
40
5
13
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
field: 40005014
40
5
14
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
field: 40005015
40
5
15
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
field: 40005016
40
5
16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
field: 40005017
40
5
17
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
field: 40005018
40
5
18
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
field: 40005019
40
5
19
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
field: 40005020
40
5
20
For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
field: 40005021
40
5
21
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:
field: 40005022
40
5
22
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
field: 40005023
40
5
23
Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
field: 40005024
40
5
24
Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
field: 40005025
40
5
25
Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
field: 40005026
40
5
26
Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
field: 40005027
40
5
27
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
field: 40005028
40
5
28
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
field: 40005029
40
5
29
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
field: 40005030
40
5
30
And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
field: 40005031
40
5
31
It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
field: 40005032
40
5
32
But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
field: 40005033
40
5
33
Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
field: 40005034
40
5
34
But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
field: 40005035
40
5
35
Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
field: 40005036
40
5
36
Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
field: 40005037
40
5
37
But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
field: 40005038
40
5
38
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
field: 40005039
40
5
39
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
field: 40005040
40
5
40
And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
field: 40005041
40
5
41
And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
field: 40005042
40
5
42
Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
field: 40005043
40
5
43
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
field: 40005044
40
5
44
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
field: 40005045
40
5
45
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
field: 40005046
40
5
46
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
field: 40005047
40
5
47
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
field: 40005048
40
5
48
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
field: 40006001
40
6
1
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
field: 40006002
40
6
2
Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
field: 40006003
40
6
3
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
field: 40006004
40
6
4
That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
field: 40006005
40
6
5
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
field: 40006006
40
6
6
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
field: 40006007
40
6
7
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
field: 40006008
40
6
8
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
field: 40006009
40
6
9
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
field: 40006010
40
6
10
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
field: 40006011
40
6
11
Give us this day our daily bread.
field: 40006012
40
6
12
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
field: 40006013
40
6
13
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
field: 40006014
40
6
14
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
field: 40006015
40
6
15
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
field: 40006016
40
6
16
Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
field: 40006017
40
6
17
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
field: 40006018
40
6
18
That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
field: 40006019
40
6
19
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
field: 40006020
40
6
20
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
field: 40006021
40
6
21
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
field: 40006022
40
6
22
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
field: 40006023
40
6
23
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
field: 40006024
40
6
24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
field: 40006025
40
6
25
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
field: 40006026
40
6
26
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
field: 40006027
40
6
27
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
field: 40006028
40
6
28
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
field: 40006029
40
6
29
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
field: 40006030
40
6
30
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
field: 40006031
40
6
31
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
field: 40006032
40
6
32
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
field: 40006033
40
6
33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
field: 40006034
40
6
34
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
field: 40007001
40
7
1
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
field: 40007002
40
7
2
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
field: 40007003
40
7
3
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
field: 40007004
40
7
4
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
field: 40007005
40
7
5
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
field: 40007006
40
7
6
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
field: 40007007
40
7
7
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
field: 40007008
40
7
8
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
field: 40007009
40
7
9
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
field: 40007010
40
7
10
Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
field: 40007011
40
7
11
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
field: 40007012
40
7
12
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
field: 40007013
40
7
13
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
field: 40007014
40
7
14
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
field: 40007015
40
7
15
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
field: 40007016
40
7
16
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
field: 40007017
40
7
17
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
field: 40007018
40
7
18
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
field: 40007019
40
7
19
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
field: 40007020
40
7
20
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
field: 40007021
40
7
21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
field: 40007022
40
7
22
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
field: 40007023
40
7
23
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
field: 40007024
40
7
24
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
field: 40007025
40
7
25
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
field: 40007026
40
7
26
And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
field: 40007027
40
7
27
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
field: 40007028
40
7
28
And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
field: 40007029
40
7
29
For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
field: 40008001
40
8
1
When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
field: 40008002
40
8
2
And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
field: 40008003
40
8
3
And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
field: 40008004
40
8
4
And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
field: 40008005
40
8
5
And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
field: 40008006
40
8
6
And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
field: 40008007
40
8
7
And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
field: 40008008
40
8
8
The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
field: 40008009
40
8
9
For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
field: 40008010
40
8
10
When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
field: 40008011
40
8
11
And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
field: 40008012
40
8
12
But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
field: 40008013
40
8
13
And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
field: 40008014
40
8
14
And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.
field: 40008015
40
8
15
And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.
field: 40008016
40
8
16
When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
field: 40008017
40
8
17
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
field: 40008018
40
8
18
Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.
field: 40008019
40
8
19
And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
field: 40008020
40
8
20
And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
field: 40008021
40
8
21
And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
field: 40008022
40
8
22
But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
field: 40008023
40
8
23
And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
field: 40008024
40
8
24
And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
field: 40008025
40
8
25
And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
field: 40008026
40
8
26
And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
field: 40008027

But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
field: 40008028

28
And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
field: 40008029
40
8
29
And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
field: 40008030
40
8
30
And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
field: 40008031
40
8
31
So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
field: 40008032
40
8
32
And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
field: 40008033
40
8
33
And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.
field: 40008034
40
8
34
And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.
field: 40009001
40

1
And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
field: 40009002
40
9
2
And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
field: 40009003
40
9
3
And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
field: 40009004
40
9
4
And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
field: 40009005
40
9
5
For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
field: 40009006
40
9
6
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
field: 40009007
40
9
7
And he arose, and departed to his house.
field: 40009008
40
9
8
But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
field: 40009009
40
9
9
And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
field: 40009010
40
9
10
And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
field: 40009011
40
9
11
And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
field: 40009012
40
9
12
But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
field: 40009013
40
9
13
But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
field: 40009014
40
9
14
Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
field: 40009015
40
9
15
And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
field: 40009016

16
No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
field: 40009017
40
9
17
Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
field: 40009018
40
9
18
While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
field: 40009019
40
9
19
And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
field: 40009020
40
9
20
And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
field: 40009021
40
9
21
For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
field: 40009022
40
9
22
But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
field: 40009023
40
9
23
And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
field: 40009024
40
9
24
He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
field: 40009025
40
9
25
But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
field: 40009026
40
9
26
And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
field: 40009027
40
9
27
And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.
field: 40009028
40
9
28
And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
field: 40009029
40
9
29
Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
field: 40009030
40
9
30
And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
field: 40009031
40
9
31
But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
field: 40009032
40
9
32
As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
field: 40009033
40
9
33
And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
field: 40009034
40
9
34
But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
field: 40009035
40
9
35
And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
field: 40009036
40
9
36
But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
field: 40009037
40
9
37
Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
field: 40009038
40
9
38
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
field: 40010001
40
10
1
And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
field: 40010002
40
10
2
Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
field: 40010003
40
10
3
Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
field: 40010004
40
10
4
Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
field: 40010005
40
10
5
These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
field: 40010006
40
10
6
But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
field: 40010007
40
10
7
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
field: 40010008
40
10
8
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
field: 40010009
40
10
9
Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
field: 40010010
40
10
10
Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
field: 40010011
40
10
11
And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
field: 40010012
40
10
12
And when ye come into an house, salute it.
field: 40010013
40
10
13
And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
field: 40010014
40
10
14
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
field: 40010015
40
10
15
Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
field: 40010016
40
10
16
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
field: 40010017
40
10
17
But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
field: 40010018
40
10
18
And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
field: 40010019
40
10
19
But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
field: 40010020
40
10
20
For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
field: 40010021
40
10
21
And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
field: 40010022
40
10
22
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
field: 40010023
40
10
23
But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
field: 40010024
40
10
24
The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
field: 40010025
40
10
25
It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
field: 40010026
40
10
26
Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
field: 40010027
40
10
27
What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
field: 40010028
40
10
28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
field: 40010031
40
10

Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
field: 40010033

But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

34
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
field: 40010035
40
10
35
For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
field: 40010036
40
10
36
And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
field: 40010037
40
10
37
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
field: 40010038
40
10
38
And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
field: 40010039

He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

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.
field: 40011002
40
11
2
Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
field: 40011003
40
11
3
And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
field: 40011004
40
11
4
Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
field: 40011005
40
11
5
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
field: 40011006
40
11
6
And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
field: 40011007
40
11
7
And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
field: 40011008
40
11
8
But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
field: 40011009
40
11
9
But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
field: 40011010
40
11
10
For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
field: 40011011
40
11
11
Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
field: 40011012
40
11
12
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
field: 40011013
40
11
13
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
field: 40011014
40
11
14
And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
field: 40011015
40
11
15
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
field: 40011016
40
11
16
But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
field: 40011017
40
11
17
And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
field: 40011018
40
11
18
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
field: 40011019
40
11
19
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
field: 40011020
40
11
20
Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
field: 40011021
40
11
21
Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
field: 40011022
40
11
22
But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
field: 40011023
40
11
23
And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
field: 40011024
40
11
24
But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
field: 40011025
40
11
25
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
field: 40011026
40
11
26
Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
field: 40011027
40
11
27
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
field: 40011028
40
11
28
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
field: 40011029
40
11
29
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
field: 40011030
40
11
30
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
field: 40012001
40
12

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.
field: 40012002
40
12
2
But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
field: 40012003
40
12
3
But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
field: 40012004
40
12
4
How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
field: 40012005
40
12
5
Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
field: 40012006
40
12
6
But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
field: 40012007
40
12
7
But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
field: 40012008
40
12
8
For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
field: 40012009
40
12
9
And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:
field: 40012010
40
12
10
And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
field: 40012011
40
12
11
And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
field: 40012012
40
12
12
How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
field: 40012013
40
12
13
Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
field: 40012014
40
12
14
Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
field: 40012015
40
12
15
But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
field: 40012016
40
12
16
And charged them that they should not make him known:
field: 40012017
40
12
17
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
field: 40012018
40
12
18
Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
field: 40012019
40
12
19
He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
field: 40012020
40
12
20
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
field: 40012021
40
12
21
And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
field: 40012022
40
12
22
Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
field: 40012023
40
12
23
And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
field: 40012024
40
12
24
But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
field: 40012025
40
12
25
And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
field: 40012026
40
12
26
And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
field: 40012027
40
12
27
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
field: 40012028
40

Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
field: 40012032
40
12
32
And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
field: 40012039
40
12
39
But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
field: 40012040
40
12
40
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
field: 40012041
40
12
41
The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
field: 40012042
40
12
42
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
field: 40012045
40
12
45
Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
field: 40012046
40

46
While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
field: 40012047
40
12
47
Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
field: 40012048
40
12
48
But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
field: 40012049
40
12
49
And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
field: 40012050
40
12
50
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
field: 40013002
40
13
2
And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
field: 40013003
40
13
3
And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
field: 40013004
40
13
4
And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
field: 40013005
40
13
5
Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
field: 40013006
40
13
6
And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
field: 40013007
40
13
7
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
field: 40013008
40
13
8
But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
field: 40013009
40
13
9
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
field: 40013010
40
13
10
And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
field: 40013011
40
13
11
He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
field: 40013012
40
13
12
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
field: 40013013
40
13
13
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
field: 40013014
40
13
14
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
field: 40013015
40
13
15
For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
field: 40013016
40
13
16
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
field: 40013017
40
13
17
For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
field: 40013018
40
13
18
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
field: 40013019
40
13
19
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
field: 40013020
40
13
20
But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
field: 40013021
40
13
21
Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
field: 40013022
40
13
22
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
field: 40013023
40
13
23
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
field: 40013024
40
13
24
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
field: 40013025
40
13
25
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
field: 40013026
40
13
26
But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
field: 40013027
40
13
27
So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
field: 40013028
40
13
28
He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
field: 40013029
40
13
29
But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
field: 40013030
40
13
30
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
field: 40013031
40
13
31
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
field: 40013032
40
13
32
Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
field: 40013033
40
13
33
Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
field: 40013034
40
13
34
All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
field: 40013035
40
13
35
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
field: 40013036
40
13
36
Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
field: 40013037
40
13
37
He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
field: 40013038
40
13
38
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
field: 40013039
40
13
39
The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
field: 40013040
40
13
40
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
field: 40013041
40
13
41
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
field: 40013042
40
13
42
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
field: 40013043
40
13
43
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
field: 40013044
40
13
44
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
field: 40013045
40
13
45
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
field: 40013046
40
13
46
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
field: 40013047
40
13
47
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
field: 40013048
40
13
48
Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
field: 40013049
40
13
49
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
field: 40013050
40
13
50
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
field: 40013051
40
13
51
Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
field: 40013052
40
13
52
Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
field: 40013053
40
13
53
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
field: 40013054
40
13
54
And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
field: 40013055
40
13
55
Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
field: 40013056
40
13
56
And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
field: 40013057
40
13
57
And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
field: 40013058
40
13
58
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
field: 40014001
40
14
1
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
field: 40014002
40
14
2
And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
field: 40014003
40
14
3
For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
field: 40014004
40
14
4
For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
field: 40014005
40
14
5
And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
field: 40014006
40
14
6
But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
field: 40014007
40
14
7
Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
field: 40014008
40
14
8
And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.
field: 40014009
40
14
9
And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
field: 40014010
40
14
10
And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
field: 40014011
40
14
11
And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
field: 40014012
40
14
12
And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
field: 40014013
40
14
13
When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
field: 40014014
40
14
14
And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
field: 40014015
40
14
15
And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
field: 40014016
40
14
16
But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
field: 40014017
40
14
17
And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
field: 40014018
40
14
18
He said, Bring them hither to me.
field: 40014019
40
14
19
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
field: 40014020
40
14
20
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
field: 40014021
40
14
21
And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
field: 40014022
40
14
22
And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
field: 40014023
40
14
23
And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
field: 40014024
40
14
24
But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
field: 40014025
40
14
25
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
field: 40014026
40
14
26
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
field: 40014027
40
14
27
But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
field: 40014028
40
14
28
And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
field: 40014029
40
14
29
And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
field: 40014030
40
14
30
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
field: 40014031
40
14
31
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
field: 40014032
40
14
32
And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
field: 40014033
40
14
33
Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
field: 40014034
40
14
34
And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
field: 40014035
40
14
35
And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;
field: 40014036
40
14
36
And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
field: 40015001
40
15
1
Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
field: 40015002
40
15
2
Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
field: 40015003
40
15
3
But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
field: 40015004
40
15
4
For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
field: 40015005
40
15
5
But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
field: 40015006
40
15
6
And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
field: 40015007
40
15
7
Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
field: 40015008
40
15
8
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
field: 40015009
40
15
9
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
field: 40015010
40
15
10
And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
field: 40015011
40
15
11
Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
field: 40015012
40
15
12
Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
field: 40015013
40
15
13
But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
field: 40015014
40
15
14
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
field: 40015015
40
15
15
Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
field: 40015016
40
15
16
And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
field: 40015017
40
15
17
Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
field: 40015018
40
15
18
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
field: 40015019
40
15
19
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
field: 40015020
40
15
20
These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
field: 40015021
40
15
21
Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
field: 40015022
40
15
22
And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
field: 40015023
40
15
23
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
field: 40015024
40
15
24
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
field: 40015025
40
15
25
Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
field: 40015026
40
15
26
But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
field: 40015027
40
15
27
And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
field: 40015028
40

28
Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
field: 40015029
40
15
29
And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
field: 40015030
40
15
30
And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:
field: 40015031
40
15
31
Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
field: 40015032
40
15
32
Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
field: 40015033
40
15
33
And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
field: 40015034
40
15
34
And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
field: 40015035
40
15
35
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
field: 40015036
40
15
36
And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
field: 40015037
40
15
37
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.
field: 40015038
40
15
38
And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
field: 40015039
40
15
39
And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
field: 40016001
40
16
1
The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
field: 40016002
40
16
2
He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
field: 40016003
40
16
3
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?
field: 40016004
40
16
4
A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
field: 40016005
40
16
5
And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
field: 40016006
40
16
6
Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
field: 40016007
40
16
7
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
field: 40016008
40
16
8
Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
field: 40016009
40
16
9
Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
field: 40016010
40
16
10
Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
field: 40016011
40
16
11
How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
field: 40016012
40
16
12
Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
field: 40016013
40
16
13
When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
field: 40016014
40
16
14
And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
field: 40016015
40
16
15
He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
field: 40016016
40
16
16
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
field: 40016017
40
16
17
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
field: 40016018
40
16
18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
field: 40016019
40
16
19
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
field: 40016020
40
16
20
Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
field: 40016021
40
16
21
From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
field: 40016022
40
16
22
Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
field: 40016023
40
16
23
But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
field: 40016024
40
16
24
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
field: 40016025
40
16
25
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
field: 40016026
40
16
26
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
field: 40016027
40
16
27
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
field: 40016028
40
16
28
Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
field: 40017001
40
17
1
And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
field: 40017002
40
17
2
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
field: 40017003
40
17
3
And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
field: 40017004
40
17
4
Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
field: 40017005
40
17
5
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
field: 40017006
40
17
6
And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
field: 40017007
40
17
7
And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
field: 40017008
40
17
8
And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
field: 40017009
40
17
9
And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
field: 40017010
40
17
10
And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
field: 40017011
40
17
11
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
field: 40017012
40
17
12
But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
field: 40017013
40
17
13
Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
field: 40017014
40
17
14
And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
field: 40017015
40
17
15
Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
field: 40017016
40
17
16
And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
field: 40017017
40
17
17
Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
field: 40017018
40
17
18
And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
field: 40017019
40
17
19
Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
field: 40017020
40
17
20
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
field: 40017021
40
17
21
Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
field: 40017022
40
17
22
And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
field: 40017023
40
17
23
And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
field: 40017024
40
17
24
And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
field: 40017025
40
17
25
He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
field: 40017026
40
17
26
Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
field: 40017027
40
17
27
Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
field: 40018001
40
18
1
At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
field: 40018002
40
18
2
And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
field: 40018003
40
18
3
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
field: 40018004
40
18
4
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
field: 40018005
40
18
5
And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
field: 40018006
40
18
6
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
field: 40018007
40
18
7
Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
field: 40018008
40
18
8
Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
field: 40018009
40
18
9
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
field: 40018010
40
18
10
Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
field: 40018011
40
18
11
For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
field: 40018012
40
18
12
How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
field: 40018013
40
18
13
And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
field: 40018014
40
18
14
Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
field: 40018015
40
18
15
Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
field: 40018016
40
18
16
But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
field: 40018017
40
18
17
And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
field: 40018018
40
18
18
Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
field: 40018019
40
18
19
Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
field: 40018020
40
18
20
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
field: 40018021
40
18
21
Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
field: 40018022
40
18
22
Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
field: 40018023
40
18
23
Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
field: 40018024
40
18
24
And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
field: 40018025
40
18
25
But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
field: 40018026
40
18
26
The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
field: 40018027
40
18
27
Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
field: 40018028
40
18
28
But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
field: 40018029
40
18
29
And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
field: 40018030
40
18
30
And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
field: 40018031
40
18
31
So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
field: 40018032
40
18
32
Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
field: 40018033
40
18
33
Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
field: 40018034
40
18
34
And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
field: 40018035
40
18
35
So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
field: 40019001
40
19
1
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
field: 40019002
40
19
2
And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
field: 40019003
40
19
3
The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
field: 40019004
40
19
4
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
field: 40019005
40
19
5
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
field: 40019006
40
19
6
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
field: 40019007
40
19
7
They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
field: 40019008
40
19
8
He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
field: 40019009
40
19
9
And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
field: 40019010
40
19
10
His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
field: 40019011
40
19
11
But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
field: 40019012
40
19
12
For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
field: 40019013
40
19
13
Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
field: 40019014
40
19
14
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
field: 40019015
40
19
15
And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
field: 40019016
40
19
16
And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
field: 40019017
40
19
17
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
field: 40019018
40
19
18
He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
field: 40019019
40
19
19
Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
field: 40019020
40
19
20
The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
field: 40019021
40
19
21
Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
field: 40019022
40
19
22
But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
field: 40019023
40
19
23
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
field: 40019024
40
19
24
And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
field: 40019025
40
19
25
When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
field: 40019026
40
19
26
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
field: 40019027
40
19
27
Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
field: 40019028
40
19
28
And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
field: 40019029
40
19
29
And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
field: 40019030
40
19
30
But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
field: 40020001
40
20
1
For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
field: 40020002
40
20
2
And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
field: 40020003
40
20
3
And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
field: 40020004
40
20
4
And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
field: 40020005
40
20
5
Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
field: 40020006
40
20
6
And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
field: 40020007
40
20
7
They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
field: 40020008
40
20
8
So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.

And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
field: 40020010
40
20
10
But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
field: 40020011
40
20
11
And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,
field: 40020012
40
20
12
Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
field: 40020013
40
20
13
But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
field: 40020014
40
20
14
Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
field: 40020015
40
20
15
Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
field: 40020016
40
20
16
So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
field: 40020017
40
20
17
And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
field: 40020018
40
20
18
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
field: 40020019
40
20
19
And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.
field: 40020020
40
20
20
Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
field: 40020021
40
20
21
And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.
field: 40020022
40
20
22
But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
field: 40020023
40
20
23
And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.
field: 40020024
40
20
24
And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
field: 40020025
40
20
25
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
field: 40020026
40
20
26
But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
field: 40020027
40
20
27
And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
field: 40020028
40
20
28
Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
field: 40020029
40
20
29
And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
field: 40020030
40
20
30
And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.
field: 40020031
40
20
31
And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.
field: 40020032
40
20
32
And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?
field: 40020033
40
20
33
They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
field: 40020034
40
20
34
So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
field: 40021001
40
21
1
And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
field: 40021002
40
21
2
Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
field: 40021003
40
21
3
And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
field: 40021004
40
21
4
All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
field: 40021005
40
21
5
Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
field: 40021006
40
21
6
And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
field: 40021007
40
21
7
And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
field: 40021008
40
21
8
And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
field: 40021009
40
21
9
And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
field: 40021010
40
21
10
And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
field: 40021011
40
21
11
And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
field: 40021012
40
21
12
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
field: 40021013
40
21
13
And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
field: 40021014
40
21
14
And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
field: 40021015
40
21
15
And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,
field: 40021016
40
21
16
And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
field: 40021017
40
21
17
And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
field: 40021018
40
21
18
Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
field: 40021019
40
21
19
And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
field: 40021020
40
21
20
And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
field: 40021021
40
21
21
Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
field: 40021022
40
21
22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
field: 40021023
40
21
23
And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
field: 40021024
40
21
24
And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
field: 40021025
40
21
25
The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
field: 40021026
40
21
26
But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
field: 40021027
40
21
27
And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
field: 40021028
40
21
28
But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
field: 40021029
40
21
29
He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
field: 40021030
40
21
30
And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
field: 40021031
40
21
31
Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
field: 40021032
40
21
32
For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
field: 40021033
40
21
33
Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
field: 40021034
40
21
34
And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
field: 40021035
40
21
35
And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
field: 40021036
40
21
36
Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
field: 40021037
40
21
37
But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
field: 40021038
40
21
38
But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
field: 40021039
40
21
39
And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
field: 40021040
40
21
40
When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
field: 40021041
40
21
41
They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
field: 40021042
40
21
42
Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
field: 40021043
40
21
43
Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
field: 40021044
40
21
44
And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
field: 40021045
40
21
45
And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
field: 40021046
40
21
46
But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
field: 40022001
40
22
1
And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
field: 40022002
40
22
2
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
field: 40022003
40
22
3
And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
field: 40022004
40
22
4
Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
field: 40022005
40
22
5
But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
field: 40022006
40
22
6
And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
field: 40022007
40
22
7
But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
field: 40022008
40
22
8
Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
field: 40022009
40
22
9
Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
field: 40022010
40
22
10
So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
field: 40022011
40
22
11
And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
field: 40022012
40
22
12
And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
field: 40022013
40
22
13
Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
field: 40022014
40
22
14
For many are called, but few are chosen.
field: 40022015
40
22
15
Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
field: 40022016
40
22
16
And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.
field: 40022017
40
22
17
Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
field: 40022018
40
22
18
But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
field: 40022019
40
22
19
Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
field: 40022020
40
22
20
And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
field: 40022021
40
22
21
They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
field: 40022022
40
22
22
When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
field: 40022023
40
22
23
The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
field: 40022024
40
22
24
Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
field: 40022025
40
22
25
Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
field: 40022026
40
22
26
Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
field: 40022027
40
22
27
And last of all the woman died also.
field: 40022028
40
22
28
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
field: 40022029
40
22
29
Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
field: 40022030
40
22
30
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
field: 40022031
40
22
31
But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
field: 40022032
40
22
32
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
field: 40022033
40
22
33
And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
field: 40022034
40
22
34
But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
field: 40022035
40
22
35
Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
field: 40022036
40
22
36
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
field: 40022037
40
22
37
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
field: 40022038
40
22
38
This is the first and great commandment.
field: 40022039
40
22
39
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
field: 40022040
40
22
40
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
field: 40022041
40
22
41
While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
field: 40022042
40
22
42
Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.
field: 40022043
40
22
43
He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
field: 40022044
40
22
44
The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
field: 40022045
40
22
45
If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
field: 40022046
40
22
46
And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
field: 40023001
40
23
1
Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
field: 40023002
40
23
2
Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
field: 40023003
40
23
3
All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
field: 40023004
40
23
4
For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
field: 40023005
40
23
5
But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
field: 40023006
40
23
6
And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
field: 40023007
40
23
7
And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
field: 40023008
40
23
8
But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
field: 40023009
40
23
9
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
field: 40023010
40
23
10
Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
field: 40023011
40
23
11
But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
field: 40023012
40
23
12
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
field: 40023013
40
23
13
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
field: 40023014
40
23
14
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
field: 40023015
40
23
15
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
field: 40023016
40
23
16
Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
field: 40023017
40
23
17
Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
field: 40023018
40
23
18
And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
field: 40023019
40
23
19
Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
field: 40023020
40
23
20
Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
field: 40023021
40
23
21
And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
field: 40023022
40
23
22
And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
field: 40023023
40
23
23
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
field: 40023024
40
23
24
Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
field: 40023025
40
23
25
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
field: 40023026
40
23
26
Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
field: 40023027
40
23
27
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
field: 40023028
40

28
Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
field: 40023029
40
23
29
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
field: 40023030
40
23
30
And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
field: 40023031
40
23
31
Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
field: 40023032
40
23
32
Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
field: 40023033
40
23
33
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
field: 40023034
40
23
34
Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
field: 40023035
40
23
35
That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
field: 40023036
40
23
36
Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
field: 40023037
40
23
37
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
field: 40023038
40
23
38
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
field: 40023039
40
23
39
For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
field: 40024001
40

And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
field: 40024002
40
24
2
And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
field: 40024003
40
24
3
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
field: 40024004
40
24
4
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
field: 40024005
40
24
5
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
field: 40024006
40
24
6
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
field: 40024007
40
24
7
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
field: 40024008
40
24
8
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
field: 40024009
40
24
9
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
field: 40024010
40
24
10
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
field: 40024011
40
24
11
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
field: 40024012
40
24
12
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
field: 40024013
40
24
13
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
field: 40024014
40
24
14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
field: 40024015
40
24
15
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
field: 40024016
40
24
16
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
field: 40024017
40
24
17
Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
field: 40024018
40
24
18
Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
field: 40024019
40
24
19
And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
field: 40024020
40
24
20
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
field: 40024021
40
24
21
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
field: 40024022
40
24
22
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
field: 40024023
40
24
23
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
field: 40024024
40
24
24
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
field: 40024025
40
24
25
Behold, I have told you before.
field: 40024026
40
24
26
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
field: 40024027
40
24
27
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
field: 40024028
40
24
28
For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
field: 40024029
40
24
29
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
field: 40024030
40
24
30
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
field: 40024031
40
24
31
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
field: 40024032
40
24
32
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
field: 40024033
40
24
33
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
field: 40024034
40
24
34
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
field: 40024035
40
24
35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
field: 40024036
40
24
36
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
field: 40024037
40
24
37
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
field: 40024038
40
24
38
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
field: 40024039
40
24
39
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
field: 40024040
40
24
40
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
field: 40024041
40
24
41
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
field: 40024042
40
24
42
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
field: 40024043
40
24
43
But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
field: 40024044
40
24
44
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
field: 40024045
40
24
45
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
field: 40024046
40
24
46
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
field: 40024047
40
24
47
Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
field: 40024048
40
24
48
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
field: 40024049
40
24
49
And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
field: 40024050
40
24
50
The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
field: 40024051
40
24
51
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
field: 40025001
40
25
1
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
field: 40025002
40
25
2
And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
field: 40025003
40
25
3
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
field: 40025004
40
25
4
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
field: 40025005
40
25
5
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
field: 40025006
40
25
6
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
field: 40025007
40
25
7
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
field: 40025008
40
25
8
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
field: 40025009
40
25
9
But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
field: 40025010
40
25
10
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
field: 40025011
40
25
11
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
field: 40025012
40
25
12
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
field: 40025013
40
25
13
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
field: 40025014
40
25
14
For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
field: 40025015
40
25
15
And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
field: 40025016
40
25
16
Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
field: 40025017
40
25
17
And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
field: 40025018
40
25
18
But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
field: 40025019
40
25
19
After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
field: 40025020
40
25
20
And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
field: 40025021
40
25
21
His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
field: 40025022
40
25
22
He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
field: 40025023
40
25
23
His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
field: 40025024
40
25
24
Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
field: 40025025
40
25
25
And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
field: 40025026
40
25
26
His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
field: 40025027
40
25
27
Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
field: 40025028
40
25
28
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
field: 40025029
40
25
29
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
field: 40025030
40
25
30
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
field: 40025031
40
25
31
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
field: 40025032
40
25
32
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
field: 40025033
40
25
33
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
field: 40025034
40
25
34
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
field: 40025035
40
25
35
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
field: 40025036
40
25
36
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
field: 40025037
40
25
37
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
field: 40025038
40
25
38
When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
field: 40025039
40
25
39
Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
field: 40025040
40
25
40
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
field: 40025041
40
25
41
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
field: 40025042
40
25
42
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
field: 40025043
40
25
43
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
field: 40025044
40
25
44
Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
field: 40025045
40
25
45
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
field: 40025046
40
25
46
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
field: 40026001
40
26
1
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
field: 40026002
40
26
2
Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
field: 40026003
40
26
3
Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
field: 40026004
40
26
4
And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
field: 40026005
40
26
5
But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
field: 40026006
40
26
6
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
field: 40026007
40
26
7
There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
field: 40026008
40
26
8
But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
field: 40026009
40
26
9
For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
field: 40026010
40
26
10
When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
field: 40026011
40
26
11
For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
field: 40026012
40
26
12
For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
field: 40026013
40
26
13
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
field: 40026014
40
26
14
Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
field: 40026015
40
26
15
And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
field: 40026016
40
26
16
And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
field: 40026017
40
26
17
Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
field: 40026018
40
26
18
And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
field: 40026019
40
26
19
And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
field: 40026020
40
26
20
Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
field: 40026021
40
26
21
And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
field: 40026022
40
26
22
And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
field: 40026023
40
26
23
And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
field: 40026024
40
26
24
The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
field: 40026025
40
26
25
Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
field: 40026026
40
26
26
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
field: 40026027
40
26
27
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
field: 40026028
40
26
28
For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
field: 40026029
40
26
29
But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
field: 40026030
40
26
30
And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
field: 40026031
40
26
31
Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
field: 40026032
40
26
32
But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
field: 40026033
40
26
33
Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
field: 40026034
40
26
34
Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
field: 40026035
40
26
35
Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
field: 40026036
40
26
36
Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
field: 40026037
40
26
37
And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
field: 40026038
40
26
38
Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
field: 40026039
40
26
39
And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
field: 40026040
40
26
40
And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
field: 40026041
40
26
41
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
field: 40026042
40
26
42
He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
field: 40026043
40
26
43
And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
field: 40026044
40
26
44
And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
field: 40026045
40
26
45
Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
field: 40026046
40
26
46
Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
field: 40026047
40
26
47
And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
field: 40026048
40
26
48
Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
field: 40026049
40
26
49
And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
field: 40026050
40
26
50
And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.
field: 40026051
40
26
51
And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
field: 40026052
40
26
52
Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
field: 40026053
40
26
53
Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
field: 40026054
40
26
54
But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
field: 40026055
40
26
55
In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
field: 40026056
40
26
56
But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
field: 40026057
40
26
57
And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
field: 40026058
40
26
58
But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
field: 40026059
40
26
59
Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
field: 40026060
40
26
60
But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
field: 40026061
40
26
61
And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
field: 40026062
40
26
62
And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
field: 40026063
40
26
63
But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
field: 40026064
40
26
64
Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
field: 40026065
40
26
65
Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
field: 40026066
40
26
66
What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
field: 40026067
40
26
67
Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
field: 40026068
40
26
68
Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
field: 40026069
40
26
69
Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
field: 40026070
40
26
70
But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
field: 40026071
40
26
71
And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
field: 40026072
40
26
72
And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
field: 40026073
40
26
73
And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
field: 40026074
40
26
74
Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
field: 40026075
40
26
75
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
field: 40027001
40
27
1
When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
field: 40027002
40
27
2
And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
field: 40027003
40
27
3
Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
field: 40027004
40
27
4
Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
field: 40027005
40
27
5
And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
field: 40027006
40
27
6
And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
field: 40027007
40
27
7
And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.
field: 40027008
40
27
8
Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
field: 40027009
40
27
9
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;
field: 40027010
40
27
10
And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
field: 40027011
40
27
11
And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
field: 40027012
40
27
12
And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
field: 40027013
40
27
13
Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
field: 40027014
40
27
14
And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
field: 40027015
40
27
15
Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
field: 40027016
40
27
16
And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
field: 40027017
40
27
17
Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
field: 40027018
40
27
18
For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
field: 40027019
40
27
19
When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
field: 40027020
40
27
20
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
field: 40027021
40
27
21
The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
field: 40027022
40
27
22
Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
field: 40027023
40
27
23
And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
field: 40027024
40
27
24
When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
field: 40027025
40
27
25
Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
field: 40027026
40
27
26
Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
field: 40027027
40
27
27
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
field: 40027028
40
27
28
And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
field: 40027029
40
27
29
And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
field: 40027030
40
27
30
And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
field: 40027031
40
27
31
And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
field: 40027032
40
27
32
And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
field: 40027033
40
27
33
And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
field: 40027034
40
27
34
They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
field: 40027035
40
27
35
And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
field: 40027036
40
27
36
And sitting down they watched him there;
field: 40027037
40
27
37
And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
field: 40027038
40
27
38
Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
field: 40027039
40
27
39
And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
field: 40027040
40
27
40
And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
field: 40027041
40
27
41
Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
field: 40027042
40
27
42
He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
field: 40027043
40
27
43
He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
field: 40027044
40
27
44
The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
field: 40027045
40
27
45
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
field: 40027046
40
27
46
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
field: 40027047
40
27
47
Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
field: 40027048
40
27
48
And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
field: 40027049
40
27
49
The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
field: 40027050
40
27
50
Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
field: 40027051
40
27
51
And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
field: 40027052
40
27
52
And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
field: 40027053
40
27
53
And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
field: 40027054
40
27
54
Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
field: 40027055
40
27
55
And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
field: 40027056
40
27
56
Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.
field: 40027057
40
27
57
When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:
field: 40027058
40
27
58
He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
field: 40027059
40
27
59
And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
field: 40027060
40
27
60
And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
field: 40027061
40
27
61
And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
field: 40027062
40
27
62
Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
field: 40027063
40
27
63
Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
field: 40027064
40
27
64
Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
field: 40027065
40
27
65
Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.
field: 40027066
40
27
66
So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
field: 40028001
40
28
1
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
field: 40028002
40
28
2
And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
field: 40028003
40
28
3
His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
field: 40028004
40
28
4
And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
field: 40028005
40
28
5
And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
field: 40028006
40
28
6
He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
field: 40028007
40
28
7
And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
field: 40028008
40
28
8
And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
field: 40028009
40
28
9
And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
field: 40028010
40
28
10
Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
field: 40028011
40
28
11
Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.
field: 40028012
40
28
12
And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,
field: 40028013
40
28
13
Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
field: 40028014
40
28
14
And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
field: 40028015
40
28
15
So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
field: 40028016
40
28
16
Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
field: 40028017
40
28
17
And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
field: 40028018
40
28
18
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
field: 40028019
40
28
19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
field: 40028020
40
28
20
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
field: 41001001
41
1
1
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
field: 41001002
41
1
2
As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
field: 41001003
41
1
3
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
field: 41001004
41
1
4
John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
field: 41001005
41
1
5
And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
field: 41001006
41
1
6
And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
field: 41001007
41
1
7
And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
field: 41001008
41
1
8
I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
field: 41001009
41
1
9
And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
field: 41001010
41
1
10
And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
field: 41001011
41
1
11
And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
field: 41001012
41
1
12
And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.
field: 41001013
41
1
13
And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
field: 41001014
41
1
14
Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
field: 41001015
41
1
15
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
field: 41001016
41
1
16
Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
field: 41001017
41
1
17
And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
field: 41001018
41
1
18
And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
field: 41001019
41
1
19
And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
field: 41001020
41
1
20
And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
field: 41001021
41
1
21
And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
field: 41001022
41
1
22
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
field: 41001023
41
1
23
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
field: 41001024
41
1
24
Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
field: 41001025
41
1
25
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
field: 41001026
41
1
26
And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
field: 41001027
41

27
And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.
field: 41001028
41
1
28
And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.
field: 41001029
41
1
29
And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
field: 41001030
41
1
30
But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.
field: 41001031
41
1
31
And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
field: 41001032
41
1
32
And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.
field: 41001033
41
1
33
And all the city was gathered together at the door.
field: 41001034
41
1
34
And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.
field: 41001035
41
1
35
And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
field: 41001036
41
1
36
And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.
field: 41001037
41
1
37
And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.
field: 41001038
41
1
38
And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.
field: 41001039
41
1
39
And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.
field: 41001040
41
1
40
And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
field: 41001041
41
1
41
And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.
field: 41001042
41
1
42
And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
field: 41001043
41
1
43
And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;
field: 41001044
41
1
44
And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
field: 41001045
41
1
45
But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
field: 41002001
41
2
1
And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
field: 41002002
41
2
2
And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
field: 41002003
41
2
3
And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
field: 41002004
41
2
4
And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
field: 41002005
41
2
5
When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
field: 41002006
41
2
6
But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
field: 41002007
41
2
7
Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
field: 41002008
41
2
8
And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
field: 41002009
41
2
9
Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
field: 41002010
41
2
10
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
field: 41002011
41
2
11
I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
field: 41002012
41
2
12
And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
field: 41002013
41
2
13
And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.
field: 41002014
41
2
14
And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
field: 41002015
41
2
15
And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
field: 41002016
41
2
16
And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
field: 41002017
41
2
17
When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
field: 41002018
41
2
18
And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
field: 41002019
41
2
19
And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
field: 41002020
41
2
20
But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
field: 41002021
41
2
21
No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.
field: 41002022
41
2
22
And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
field: 41002023
41
2
23
And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
field: 41002024
41
2
24
And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
field: 41002025
41
2
25
And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?
field: 41002026
41
2
26
How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?
field: 41002027
41
2
27
And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
field: 41002028
41
2
28
Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
field: 41003001
41
3
1
And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.
field: 41003002
41
3
2
And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.
field: 41003003
41
3
3
And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.
field: 41003004
41
3
4
And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.
field: 41003005
41
3
5
And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
field: 41003006
41
3
6
And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
field: 41003007
41
3
7
But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,
field: 41003008
41
3
8
And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.
field: 41003009
41
3
9
And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
field: 41003010
41
3
10
For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
field: 41003011
41
3
11
And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
field: 41003012
41
3
12
And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.
field: 41003013
41
3
13
And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.
field: 41003014
41
3
14
And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
field: 41003015
41
3
15
And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
field: 41003016
41
3
16
And Simon he surnamed Peter;
field: 41003017
41
3
17
And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:
field: 41003018
41
3
18
And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
field: 41003019
41
3
19
And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.
field: 41003020
41
3
20
And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
field: 41003021
41
3
21
And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.
field: 41003022
41
3
22
And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
field: 41003023
41
3
23
And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
field: 41003024
41
3
24
And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
field: 41003025
41
3
25
And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
field: 41003026
41
3
26
And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.
field: 41003027
41
3
27
No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
field: 41003028
41
3
28
Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
field: 41003029
41
3
29
But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
field: 41003030
41
3
30
Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
field: 41003031
41
3
31
There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
field: 41003032
41
3
32
And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
field: 41003033
41
3
33
And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
field: 41003034
41
3
34
And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
field: 41003035
41
3
35
For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
field: 41004001
41
4
1
And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
field: 41004002
41
4
2
And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
field: 41004003
41
4
3
Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
field: 41004004
41
4
4
And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
field: 41004005
41
4
5
And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
field: 41004006
41
4
6
But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
field: 41004007
41
4
7
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
field: 41004008
41
4
8
And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
field: 41004009
41
4
9
And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
field: 41004010
41
4
10
And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
field: 41004011
41
4
11
And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
field: 41004012
41
4
12
That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
field: 41004013
41
4
13
And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
field: 41004014
41
4
14
The sower soweth the word.
field: 41004015
41
4
15
And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
field: 41004016
41
4
16
And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
field: 41004017
41
4
17
And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
field: 41004018
41
4
18
And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
field: 41004019
41
4
19
And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
field: 41004020
41
4
20
And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
field: 41004021
41
4
21
And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
field: 41004022
41
4
22
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
field: 41004023
41
4
23
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
field: 41004024
41
4
24
And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
field: 41004025
41
4
25
For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
field: 41004026
41
4
26
And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
field: 41004027
41
4
27
And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
field: 41004028
41
4
28
For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
field: 41004029
41
4
29
But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
field: 41004030
41
4
30
And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
field: 41004031
41
4
31
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
field: 41004032
41
4
32
But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
field: 41004033
41
4
33
And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.
field: 41004034
41
4
34
But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
field: 41004035
41
4
35
And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
field: 41004036
41
4
36
And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
field: 41004037
41
4
37
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
field: 41004038
41
4
38
And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
field: 41004039
41
4
39
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
field: 41004040
41
4
40
And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
field: 41004041
41
4
41
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
field: 41005001
41
5
1
And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
field: 41005002
41
5
2
And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
field: 41005003
41
5
3
Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
field: 41005004
41
5
4
Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
field: 41005005
41
5
5
And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
field: 41005006
41
5
6
But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
field: 41005007
41
5
7
And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
field: 41005008
41
5
8
For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
field: 41005009
41
5
9
And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
field: 41005010
41
5
10
And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
field: 41005011
41
5
11
Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
field: 41005012
41
5
12
And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
field: 41005013
41
5
13
And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
field: 41005014
41
5
14
And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
field: 41005015
41
5
15
And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
field: 41005016
41
5
16
And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
field: 41005017
41
5
17
And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
field: 41005018
41
5
18
And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.
field: 41005019
41
5
19
Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
field: 41005020
41
5
20
And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.
field: 41005021
41
5
21
And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.
field: 41005022
41
5
22
And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
field: 41005023
41
5
23
And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.
field: 41005024
41
5
24
And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.
field: 41005025
41
5
25
And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
field: 41005026
41
5
26
And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
field: 41005027
41
5
27
When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
field: 41005028
41
5
28
For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
field: 41005029
41
5
29
And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
field: 41005030
41
5
30
And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
field: 41005031
41
5
31
And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
field: 41005032
41
5
32
And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
field: 41005033
41
5
33
But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
field: 41005034
41
5
34
And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
field: 41005035
41
5
35
While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
field: 41005036
41
5
36
As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
field: 41005037
41
5
37
And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
field: 41005038
41
5
38
And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
field: 41005039
41
5
39
And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
field: 41005040
41
5
40
And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
field: 41005041
41
5
41
And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
field: 41005042
41
5
42
And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
field: 41005043
41
5
43
And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
field: 41006001
41
6
1
And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
field: 41006002
41
6
2
And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
field: 41006003
41
6
3
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
field: 41006004
41
6
4
But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
field: 41006005
41
6
5
And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
field: 41006006
41
6
6
And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
field: 41006007
41
6
7
And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;
field: 41006008
41
6
8
And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:
field: 41006009
41
6
9
But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
field: 41006010
41
6
10
And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
field: 41006011
41
6
11
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
field: 41006012
41
6
12
And they went out, and preached that men should repent.
field: 41006013
41
6
13
And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.
field: 41006014
41
6
14
And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
field: 41006015
41
6
15
Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
field: 41006016
41
6
16
But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.
field: 41006017
41
6
17
For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.
field: 41006018
41
6
18
For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
field: 41006019
41
6
19
Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:
field: 41006020
41
6
20
For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.
field: 41006021
41
6
21
And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;
field: 41006022
41
6
22
And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
field: 41006023
41
6
23
And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
field: 41006024
41
6
24
And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
field: 41006025
41
6
25
And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.
field: 41006026
41
6
26
And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.
field: 41006027
41
6
27
And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
field: 41006028
41
6
28
And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.
field: 41006029
41
6
29
And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
field: 41006030
41
6
30
And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
field: 41006031
41
6
31
And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
field: 41006032
41
6
32
And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.
field: 41006033
41
6
33
And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.
field: 41006034
41
6
34
And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
field: 41006035
41
6
35
And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:
field: 41006036
41
6
36
Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.
field: 41006037
41
6
37
He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
field: 41006038
41
6
38
He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
field: 41006039
41
6
39
And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
field: 41006040
41
6
40
And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
field: 41006041
41
6
41
And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.
field: 41006042
41
6
42
And they did all eat, and were filled.
field: 41006043
41
6
43
And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
field: 41006044
41
6
44
And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.
field: 41006045
41
6
45
And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.
field: 41006046
41
6
46
And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.
field: 41006047
41
6
47
And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
field: 41006048
41
6
48
And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
field: 41006049
41
6
49
But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
field: 41006050
41
6
50
For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
field: 41006051
41
6
51
And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
field: 41006052
41
6
52
For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.
field: 41006053
41
6
53
And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
field: 41006054
41
6
54
And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,
field: 41006055
41
6
55
And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
field: 41006056
41
6
56
And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
field: 41007001
41
7
1
Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
field: 41007002
41
7
2
And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
field: 41007003
41
7
3
For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
field: 41007004
41
7
4
And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
field: 41007005
41
7
5
Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
field: 41007006
41
7
6
He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
field: 41007007
41
7
7
Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
field: 41007008
41
7
8
For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
field: 41007009
41
7
9
And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
field: 41007010
41
7
10
For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
field: 41007011
41
7
11
But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
field: 41007012
41
7
12
And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
field: 41007013
41
7
13
Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
field: 41007014
41
7
14
And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
field: 41007015
41
7
15
There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
field: 41007016
41
7
16
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
field: 41007017
41
7
17
And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
field: 41007018
41
7
18
And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
field: 41007019
41
7
19
Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
field: 41007020
41
7
20
And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
field: 41007021
41
7
21
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
field: 41007022
41
7
22
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
field: 41007023
41
7
23
All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
field: 41007024
41
7
24
And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.
field: 41007025
41
7
25
For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
field: 41007026
41
7
26
The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
field: 41007027
41
7
27
But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
field: 41007028
41
7
28
And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
field: 41007029
41
7
29
And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
field: 41007030
41
7
30
And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
field: 41007031
41
7
31
And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
field: 41007032
41
7
32
And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.
field: 41007033
41
7
33
And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
field: 41007034
41
7
34
And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
field: 41007035
41
7
35
And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
field: 41007036
41
7
36
And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;
field: 41007037
41
7
37
And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
field: 41008001
41
8
1
In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,
field: 41008002
41
8
2
I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
field: 41008003
41
8
3
And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
field: 41008004
41
8
4
And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
field: 41008005
41
8
5
And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
field: 41008006
41
8
6
And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.
field: 41008007
41
8
7
And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.
field: 41008008
41
8
8
So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.
field: 41008009
41
8
9
And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
field: 41008010
41
8
10
And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
field: 41008011
41
8
11
And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
field: 41008012
41
8
12
And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
field: 41008013
41
8
13
And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
field: 41008014
41
8
14
Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
field: 41008015
41
8
15
And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
field: 41008016
41
8
16
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
field: 41008017
41
8
17
And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
field: 41008018
41
8
18
Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
field: 41008019
41
8
19
When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
field: 41008020
41
8
20
And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
field: 41008021
41
8
21
And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
field: 41008022
41
8
22
And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
field: 41008023
41
8
23
And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
field: 41008024
41
8
24
And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
field: 41008025
41
8
25
After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
field: 41008026
41
8
26
And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
field: 41008027
41
8
27
And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?
field: 41008028
41
8
28
And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
field: 41008029
41
8
29
And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
field: 41008030
41
8
30
And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
field: 41008031
41
8
31
And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
field: 41008032
41
8
32
And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
field: 41008033
41
8
33
But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
field: 41008034
41
8

And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
field: 41008037

37
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
field: 41008038

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.

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.

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.
field: 41009003
41

3
And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
field: 41009004

And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
field: 41009005
41
9
5
And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
field: 41009006
41
9
6
For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
field: 41009007
41
9
7
And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
field: 41009008
41
9
8
And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
field: 41009009
41
9
9
And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
field: 41009010
41
9
10
And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
field: 41009011
41
9
11
And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
field: 41009012
41
9
12
And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
field: 41009013
41
9
13
But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
field: 41009014
41

14
And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
field: 41009015
41
9
15
And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
field: 41009016
41
9
16
And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
field: 41009017
41
9
17
And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
field: 41009018
41
9
18
And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
field: 41009019
41
9
19
He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
field: 41009020
41
9
20
And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
field: 41009021
41
9
21
And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
field: 41009022
41
9
22
And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
field: 41009023
41
9
23
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
field: 41009024
41
9
24
And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
field: 41009025
41

25
When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
field: 41009026
41
9
26
And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
field: 41009027
41
9
27
But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
field: 41009028
41
9
28
And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
field: 41009029
41
9
29
And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
field: 41009030
41
9
30
And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.
field: 41009031
41
9
31
For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.
field: 41009032
41
9
32
But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.
field: 41009033
41
9
33
And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?
field: 41009034
41
9
34
But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
field: 41009035
41
9
35
And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
field: 41009036
41
9
36
And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
field: 41009037
41
9
37
Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
field: 41009038
41
9
38
And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
field: 41009039
41
9
39
But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
field: 41009040
41
9
40
For he that is not against us is on our part.
field: 41009041

41
For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.

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.
field: 41009043

43
And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
field: 41009044
41
9
44
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
field: 41009045
41

45
And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
field: 41009046
41
9
46
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
field: 41009047
41
9
47
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
field: 41009048
41
9
48
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

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.
field: 41010002
41
10

And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.

And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
field: 41010004
41
10
4
And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
field: 41010005
41
10
5
And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
field: 41010006
41
10
6
But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
field: 41010007
41
10
7
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
field: 41010008
41
10
8
And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
field: 41010009
41
10
9
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
field: 41010010
41
10
10
And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.
field: 41010011
41
10
11
And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
field: 41010012
41
10
12
And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
field: 41010013

13
And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
field: 41010014
41
10
14
But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
field: 41010015
41
10
15
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
field: 41010016
41
10
16
And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
field: 41010017
41
10
17
And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
field: 41010018
41
10
18
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
field: 41010019
41
10
19
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
field: 41010020
41
10
20
And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
field: 41010021
41
10
21
Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
field: 41010022
41
10
22
And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
field: 41010023
41
10
23
And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
field: 41010024
41
10
24
And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
field: 41010025
41
10
25
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
field: 41010026
41
10
26
And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
field: 41010027
41
10
27
And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
field: 41010028
41
10
28
Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
field: 41010029
41
10
29
And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
field: 41010030
41
10
30
But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
field: 41010031
41
10
31
But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
field: 41010032
41
10
32
And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,
field: 41010033
41
10
33
Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
field: 41010034
41
10
34
And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
field: 41010035
41
10
35
And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.
field: 41010036
41
10
36
And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
field: 41010037
41
10
37
They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.
field: 41010038
41
10
38
But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
field: 41010039
41
10
39
And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
field: 41010040
41
10
40
But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.
field: 41010041
41
10
41
And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.
field: 41010042
41
10
42
But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.
field: 41010043
41
10
43
But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
field: 41010044
41
10
44
And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
field: 41010045
41
10
45
For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
field: 41010046
41
10
46
And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.
field: 41010047
41
10
47
And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
field: 41010048
41
10
48
And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
field: 41010049
41
10
49
And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
field: 41010050
41
10
50
And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
field: 41010051
41
10
51
And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
field: 41010052
41
10
52
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
field: 41011001
41
11

And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
field: 41011002
41
11
2
And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
field: 41011003
41
11
3
And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
field: 41011004
41
11
4
And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
field: 41011005
41
11
5
And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
field: 41011006
41
11
6
And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.
field: 41011007
41
11
7
And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
field: 41011008
41
11
8
And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
field: 41011009
41
11
9
And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
field: 41011010
41
11
10
Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
field: 41011011
41
11
11
And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
field: 41011012
41
11
12
And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
field: 41011013
41
11
13
And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
field: 41011014
41
11
14
And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
field: 41011015
41
11
15
And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
field: 41011016
41
11
16
And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
field: 41011017
41
11
17
And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
field: 41011018
41
11
18
And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
field: 41011019
41
11
19
And when even was come, he went out of the city.
field: 41011020
41
11
20
And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
field: 41011021
41
11
21
And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
field: 41011022
41
11
22
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
field: 41011023
41
11
23
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
field: 41011024
41
11
24
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
field: 41011025
41
11
25
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
field: 41011026
41
11
26
But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
field: 41011027
41
11
27
And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
field: 41011028
41
11
28
And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
field: 41011029
41
11
29
And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
field: 41011030
41
11
30
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
field: 41011031
41
11
31
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
field: 41011032
41
11
32
But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
field: 41011033
41
11
33
And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
field: 41012001
41

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.

And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
field: 41012003
41
12
3
And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
field: 41012004
41
12
4
And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
field: 41012005
41
12
5
And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
field: 41012006
41
12
6
Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
field: 41012007
41
12
7
But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.
field: 41012008
41
12
8
And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
field: 41012009
41
12
9
What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
field: 41012010
41
12
10
And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
field: 41012011
41
12
11
This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
field: 41012012
41
12
12
And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
field: 41012013
41
12
13
And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
field: 41012014
41
12
14
And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
field: 41012015
41
12
15
Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
field: 41012016
41
12
16
And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
field: 41012017
41
12
17
And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
field: 41012018
41
12
18
Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
field: 41012019
41
12
19
Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
field: 41012020
41
12
20
Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
field: 41012021
41
12
21
And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
field: 41012022
41
12
22
And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
field: 41012023
41
12
23
In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
field: 41012024
41
12
24
And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
field: 41012025
41
12
25
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
field: 41012026
41
12
26
And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
field: 41012027
41
12
27
He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
field: 41012028
41
12
28
And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
field: 41012029
41
12
29
And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
field: 41012030
41
12
30
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
field: 41012031
41
12
31
And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
field: 41012032
41
12
32
And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
field: 41012033
41
12
33
And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
field: 41012034
41
12
34
And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
field: 41012035
41
12
35
And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?
field: 41012036
41
12
36
For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
field: 41012037
41
12
37
David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
field: 41012038
41
12
38
And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
field: 41012039
41
12
39
And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
field: 41012040
41
12
40
Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
field: 41012041
41
12
41
And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
field: 41012042
41
12
42
And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
field: 41012043
41
12
43
And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
field: 41012044
41
12
44
For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
field: 41013001
41
13
1
And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
field: 41013002
41
13
2
And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
field: 41013003
41
13
3
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
field: 41013004
41
13
4
Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
field: 41013005
41
13
5
And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
field: 41013006
41
13
6
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
field: 41013007
41
13
7
And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
field: 41013008
41
13
8
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
field: 41013009
41
13
9
But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
field: 41013010
41
13
10
And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
field: 41013011
41
13
11
But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
field: 41013012
41
13
12
Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
field: 41013013
41
13
13
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
field: 41013014
41
13
14
But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
field: 41013015
41
13
15
And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
field: 41013016
41
13
16
And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
field: 41013017
41
13
17
But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
field: 41013018
41
13
18
And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
field: 41013019
41
13
19
For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
field: 41013020
41
13
20
And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
field: 41013021
41
13
21
And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
field: 41013022
41
13
22
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
field: 41013023
41
13
23
But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
field: 41013024
41
13
24
But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
field: 41013025
41
13
25
And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
field: 41013026
41
13
26
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
field: 41013027
41
13
27
And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
field: 41013028
41
13
28
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
field: 41013029
41
13
29
So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
field: 41013030
41
13
30
Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
field: 41013031
41
13
31
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
field: 41013032
41
13
32
But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
field: 41013033
41
13
33
Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
field: 41013034
41
13
34
For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
field: 41013035
41
13
35
Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
field: 41013036
41
13
36
Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
field: 41013037
41
13
37
And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

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.
field: 41014002
41
14
2
But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.
field: 41014003
41

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.
field: 41014004
41
14
4
And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
field: 41014005
41
14
5
For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
field: 41014006
41
14
6
And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.
field: 41014007
41
14
7
For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
field: 41014008
41
14
8
She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
field: 41014009
41
14
9
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
field: 41014010
41

10
And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.
field: 41014011
41
14
11
And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
field: 41014012
41
14
12
And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
field: 41014013
41
14
13
And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
field: 41014014
41
14
14
And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
field: 41014015
41
14
15
And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.
field: 41014016
41
14
16
And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
field: 41014017
41
14
17
And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.
field: 41014018
41
14
18
And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.
field: 41014019
41
14
19
And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?
field: 41014020
41
14
20
And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.
field: 41014021
41
14
21
The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.
field: 41014022
41
14
22
And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
field: 41014023
41
14
23
And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.
field: 41014024
41
14
24
And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
field: 41014025
41
14
25
Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
field: 41014026
41
14
26
And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
field: 41014027
41
14
27
And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.
field: 41014028
41
14
28
But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
field: 41014029
41
14
29
But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.
field: 41014030
41
14
30
And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.
field: 41014031
41
14
31
But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.
field: 41014032
41
14
32
And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.
field: 41014033
41
14
33
And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;
field: 41014034
41
14
34
And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.
field: 41014035
41
14
35
And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
field: 41014036
41
14
36
And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
field: 41014037
41
14
37
And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?
field: 41014038
41
14
38
Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
field: 41014039
41
14
39
And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.
field: 41014040
41
14
40
And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.
field: 41014041
41
14
41
And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
field: 41014042
41
14
42
Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
field: 41014043
41
14
43
And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
field: 41014044
41
14
44
And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.
field: 41014045
41
14
45
And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.
field: 41014046
41
14
46
And they laid their hands on him, and took him.
field: 41014047
41
14
47
And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
field: 41014048
41
14
48
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?
field: 41014049
41
14
49
I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.
field: 41014050
41
14
50
And they all forsook him, and fled.
field: 41014051
41
14
51
And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:
field: 41014052
41
14
52
And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
field: 41014053
41
14
53
And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
field: 41014054
41
14
54
And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
field: 41014055
41
14
55
And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.
field: 41014056
41
14
56
For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.
field: 41014057
41
14
57
And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,
field: 41014058
41
14
58
We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.
field: 41014059
41
14
59
But neither so did their witness agree together.
field: 41014060
41
14
60
And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
field: 41014061
41
14
61
But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
field: 41014062
41
14
62
And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
field: 41014063
41
14
63
Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?
field: 41014064
41
14
64
Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
field: 41014065
41
14
65
And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.
field: 41014066
41
14
66
And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:
field: 41014067
41
14
67
And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
field: 41014068
41
14
68
But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
field: 41014069
41
14
69
And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.
field: 41014070
41
14
70
And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.
field: 41014071
41
14
71
But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.
field: 41014072
41
14
72
And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
field: 41015001
41
15
1
And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
field: 41015002
41
15
2
And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.
field: 41015003
41
15
3
And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
field: 41015004
41
15
4
And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.
field: 41015005
41
15
5
But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
field: 41015006
41
15
6
Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
field: 41015007
41
15
7
And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
field: 41015008
41
15
8
And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
field: 41015009
41
15
9
But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
field: 41015010
41
15
10
For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
field: 41015011
41
15
11
But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
field: 41015012
41
15
12
And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
field: 41015013
41
15
13
And they cried out again, Crucify him.
field: 41015014
41
15
14
Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
field: 41015015
41
15
15
And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
field: 41015016
41
15
16
And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
field: 41015017
41
15
17
And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,
field: 41015018
41
15
18
And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
field: 41015019
41
15
19
And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
field: 41015020
41
15
20
And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
field: 41015021
41
15
21
And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
field: 41015022
41
15
22
And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
field: 41015023
41
15
23
And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
field: 41015024
41
15
24
And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
field: 41015025
41
15
25
And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
field: 41015026
41
15
26
And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
field: 41015027
41
15
27
And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
field: 41015028
41
15
28
And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
field: 41015029
41
15
29
And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
field: 41015030
41
15
30
Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
field: 41015031
41
15
31
Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
field: 41015032
41
15
32
Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
field: 41015033
41
15
33
And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
field: 41015034
41
15
34
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
field: 41015035
41
15
35
And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
field: 41015036
41
15
36
And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.
field: 41015037
41
15
37
And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
field: 41015038
41
15
38
And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
field: 41015039
41
15
39
And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
field: 41015040
41
15
40
There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
field: 41015041
41
15
41
(Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
field: 41015042
41
15
42
And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
field: 41015043
41
15
43
Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
field: 41015044
41
15
44
And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
field: 41015045
41
15
45
And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
field: 41015046
41
15
46
And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
field: 41015047
41
15
47
And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
field: 41016001
41
16
1
And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
field: 41016002
41
16
2
And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
field: 41016003
41
16
3
And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
field: 41016004
41
16
4
And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
field: 41016005
41
16
5
And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
field: 41016006
41
16
6
And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
field: 41016007
41
16
7
But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
field: 41016008
41
16
8
And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
field: 41016009
41
16
9
Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
field: 41016010
41
16
10
And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
field: 41016011
41
16
11
And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
field: 41016012
41
16
12
After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
field: 41016013
41
16
13
And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.
field: 41016014
41
16
14
Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
field: 41016015
41
16
15
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
field: 41016016
41
16
16
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
field: 41016017
41
16
17
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
field: 41016018
41
16
18
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
field: 41016019
41
16
19
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
field: 41016020
41
16
20
And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
field: 42001001
42

Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
field: 42001002
42
1
2
Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
field: 42001003
42
1
3
It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
field: 42001004
42
1
4
That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
field: 42001005
42

5
THERE was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
field: 42001006
42
1
6
And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
field: 42001007
42
1
7
And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
field: 42001008
42
1
8
And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,
field: 42001009
42
1
9
According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
field: 42001010
42
1
10
And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
field: 42001011
42
1
11
And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
field: 42001012
42
1
12
And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
field: 42001013
42
1
13
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
field: 42001014
42
1
14
And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
field: 42001015
42
1
15
For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
field: 42001016
42
1
16
And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
field: 42001017
42
1
17
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
field: 42001018
42
1
18
And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
field: 42001019
42
1
19
And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
field: 42001020
42
1
20
And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
field: 42001021
42
1
21
And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
field: 42001022
42
1
22
And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
field: 42001023
42
1
23
And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
field: 42001024
42
1
24
And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
field: 42001025
42
1
25
Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
field: 42001026
42
1
26
And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
field: 42001027
42
1
27
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
field: 42001028
42
1
28
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
field: 42001029
42
1
29
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
field: 42001030
42
1
30
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
field: 42001031
42
1
31
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
field: 42001032
42
1
32
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
field: 42001033
42
1
33
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
field: 42001034
42
1
34
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
field: 42001035
42
1
35
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
field: 42001036
42
1
36
And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
field: 42001037
42
1
37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
field: 42001038
42
1
38
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
field: 42001039
42
1
39
And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
field: 42001040
42
1
40
And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
field: 42001041
42
1
41
And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
field: 42001042
42
1
42
And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
field: 42001043
42
1
43
And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
field: 42001044
42
1
44
For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
field: 42001045
42
1
45
And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
field: 42001046
42
1
46
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
field: 42001047
42
1
47
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
field: 42001048
42
1
48
For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
field: 42001049
42
1
49
For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
field: 42001050
42
1
50
And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
field: 42001051
42
1
51
He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
field: 42001052
42
1
52
He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
field: 42001053
42
1
53
He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
field: 42001054
42
1
54
He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
field: 42001055
42
1
55
As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
field: 42001056
42
1
56
And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
field: 42001057
42
1
57
Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
field: 42001058
42
1
58
And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
field: 42001059
42
1
59
And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
field: 42001060
42
1
60
And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
field: 42001061
42
1
61
And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
field: 42001062
42
1
62
And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
field: 42001063
42
1
63
And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
field: 42001064
42
1
64
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God.
field: 42001065
42
1
65
And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.
field: 42001066
42
1
66
And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.
field: 42001067
42
1
67
And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
field: 42001068
42
1
68
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
field: 42001069
42
1
69
And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
field: 42001070
42
1
70
As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
field: 42001071
42
1
71
That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
field: 42001072
42
1
72
To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
field: 42001073
42
1
73
The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
field: 42001074
42
1
74
That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
field: 42001075
42
1
75
In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
field: 42001076
42
1
76
And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
field: 42001077
42
1
77
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
field: 42001078
42

And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
field: 42002001

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
field: 42002002
42
2
2
(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
field: 42002003
42
2
3
And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
field: 42002004
42
2
4
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
field: 42002005
42
2
5
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
field: 42002006
42
2
6
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
field: 42002007
42
2
7
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
field: 42002008
42
2
8
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
field: 42002009
42
2
9
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
field: 42002010
42
2
10
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
field: 42002011
42
2
11
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
field: 42002012
42
2
12
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
field: 42002013
42
2
13
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
field: 42002014
42
2
14
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
field: 42002015
42
2
15
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
field: 42002016
42
2
16
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
field: 42002017
42
2
17
And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
field: 42002018
42
2
18
And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
field: 42002019
42
2
19
But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
field: 42002020
42
2
20
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
field: 42002021
42
2
21
And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
field: 42002022
42
2
22
And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
field: 42002023
42
2
23
(As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
field: 42002024
42
2
24
And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
field: 42002025
42

25
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
field: 42002026
42
2
26
And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
field: 42002027
42
2
27
And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
field: 42002028
42
2
28
Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
field: 42002029
42
2
29
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
field: 42002030
42
2
30
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
field: 42002031
42
2
31
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
field: 42002032
42
2
32
A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
field: 42002033
42
2
33
And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
field: 42002034
42
2
34
And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
field: 42002035
42
2
35
(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
field: 42002036
42

36
And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
field: 42002037
42
2
37
And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
field: 42002038
42
2
38
And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
field: 42002039
42
2
39
And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
field: 42002040
42
2
40
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
field: 42002041
42
2
41
Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
field: 42002042
42
2
42
And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
field: 42002043
42
2
43
And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
field: 42002044
42
2
44
But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
field: 42002045
42
2
45
And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
field: 42002046
42
2
46
And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
field: 42002047
42
2
47
And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
field: 42002048
42
2
48
And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
field: 42002049
42
2
49
And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?
field: 42002050
42
2
50
And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
field: 42002051
42
2
51
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
field: 42002052
42
2
52
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

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,
field: 42003002
42
3
2
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
field: 42003003
42
3
3
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
field: 42003004
42
3
4
As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
field: 42003005
42
3
5
Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
field: 42003006
42
3
6
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
field: 42003007
42
3
7
Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
field: 42003008
42
3
8
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
field: 42003009
42
3
9
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
field: 42003010
42
3
10
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
field: 42003011
42
3
11
He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
field: 42003012
42
3
12
Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
field: 42003013
42
3
13
And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
field: 42003014
42
3
14
And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
field: 42003015
42
3
15
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
field: 42003016
42
3
16
John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
field: 42003017
42
3
17
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
field: 42003018
42
3
18
And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
field: 42003019
42
3
19
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
field: 42003020
42
3
20
Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
field: 42003021
42
3
21
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
field: 42003022
42
3
22
And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
field: 42004002
42
4
2
Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
field: 42004003
42
4
3
And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
field: 42004004
42
4
4
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
field: 42004005
42
4
5
And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
field: 42004006
42
4
6
And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
field: 42004007
42
4
7
If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
field: 42004008
42
4
8
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
field: 42004009
42
4
9
And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
field: 42004010
42
4
10
For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
field: 42004011
42
4
11
And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
field: 42004012
42
4
12
And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
field: 42004013
42
4
13
And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
field: 42004014
42
4
14
And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
field: 42004015
42
4
15
And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
field: 42004016
42
4
16
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
field: 42004017
42
4
17
And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
field: 42004018
42
4
18
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
field: 42004019
42
4
19
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
field: 42004020
42
4
20
And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
field: 42004021
42
4
21
And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
field: 42004022
42
4
22
And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
field: 42004023
42
4
23
And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
field: 42004024
42
4
24
And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
field: 42004025
42
4
25
But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
field: 42004026
42
4
26
But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
field: 42004027
42
4
27
And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
field: 42004028
42
4
28
And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
field: 42004029
42
4
29
And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
field: 42004030
42
4
30
But he passing through the midst of them went his way,
field: 42004031
42
4
31
And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.
field: 42004032
42
4
32
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.
field: 42004033
42
4
33
And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,
field: 42004034
42
4
34
Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
field: 42004035
42
4
35
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.
field: 42004036
42
4
36
And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.
field: 42004037
42
4
37
And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.
field: 42004038
42
4
38
And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.
field: 42004039
42
4
39
And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.
field: 42004040
42
4
40
Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
field: 42004041
42
4
41
And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.
field: 42004042
42
4
42
And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.
field: 42004043
42
4
43
And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
field: 42004044
42
4
44
And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
field: 42005001
42
5
1
And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
field: 42005002
42
5
2
And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
field: 42005003
42
5
3
And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
field: 42005004
42
5
4
Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
field: 42005005
42
5
5
And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
field: 42005006
42
5
6
And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
field: 42005007
42
5

And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
field: 42005009
42
5
9
For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
field: 42005010
42
5
10
And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
field: 42005011
42
5
11
And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
field: 42005012
42
5
12
And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
field: 42005013
42
5
13
And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
field: 42005014
42
5
14
And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
field: 42005015
42
5
15
But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
field: 42005016
42
5
16
And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
field: 42005017
42
5
17
And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.
field: 42005018
42
5
18
And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
field: 42005019
42
5
19
And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.
field: 42005020
42
5
20
And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
field: 42005021
42
5
21
And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
field: 42005022
42
5
22
But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
field: 42005023
42
5
23
Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
field: 42005024
42
5
24
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
field: 42005025
42
5
25
And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
field: 42005026
42
5
26
And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
field: 42005027
42
5
27
And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.
field: 42005028
42
5
28
And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
field: 42005029
42
5
29
And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.
field: 42005030
42
5
30
But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
field: 42005031
42
5
31
And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
field: 42005032
42
5
32
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
field: 42005033
42
5
33
And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?
field: 42005034
42
5
34
And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
field: 42005035
42
5
35
But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
field: 42005036
42
5
36
And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.
field: 42005037
42
5
37
And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
field: 42005038
42
5
38
But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
field: 42005039
42
5
39
No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
field: 42006001
42

1
And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.
field: 42006002
42
6
2
And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?
field: 42006003
42
6
3
And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;
field: 42006004
42
6
4
How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
field: 42006005
42
6
5
And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
field: 42006006
42
6
6
And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.
field: 42006007
42
6
7
And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.
field: 42006008
42
6
8
But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.
field: 42006009
42
6
9
Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?
field: 42006010
42
6
10
And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
field: 42006011
42
6
11
And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.
field: 42006012
42
6
12
And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
field: 42006013
42
6
13
And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;
field: 42006014
42
6
14
Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
field: 42006015
42
6
15
Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,
field: 42006016
42
6
16
And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.
field: 42006017
42
6
17
And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
field: 42006018
42
6
18
And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.
field: 42006019
42
6
19
And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.
field: 42006020
42
6
20
And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
field: 42006021
42
6
21
Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
field: 42006022
42
6
22
Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
field: 42006023
42
6
23
Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
field: 42006024
42
6
24
But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
field: 42006025
42
6
25
Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
field: 42006026
42
6
26
Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
field: 42006027
42
6
27
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
field: 42006028
42
6
28
Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
field: 42006029
42
6
29
And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
field: 42006030
42
6
30
Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
field: 42006031
42
6
31
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
field: 42006032
42
6
32
For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
field: 42006033
42
6
33
And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
field: 42006034
42
6
34
And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
field: 42006035
42
6
35
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
field: 42006036
42
6
36
Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
field: 42006037
42
6
37
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
field: 42006038
42
6
38
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
field: 42006039
42
6
39
And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
field: 42006040
42
6
40
The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
field: 42006042
42
6
42
Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
field: 42006043

43
For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
field: 42006044
42
6
44
For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
field: 42006045
42
6
45
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
field: 42006046
42
6
46
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
field: 42006047
42
6
47
Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
field: 42006048
42
6
48
He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
field: 42006049
42
6
49
But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
field: 42007001
42
7
1
Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
field: 42007002
42
7
2
And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
field: 42007003
42
7
3
And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
field: 42007004
42
7
4
And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
field: 42007005
42
7
5
For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
field: 42007006
42
7
6
Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
field: 42007007
42
7
7
Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
field: 42007008
42
7
8
For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
field: 42007009
42
7
9
When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
field: 42007010
42
7
10
And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
field: 42007011
42
7
11
And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
field: 42007012
42
7
12
Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
field: 42007013
42
7
13
And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
field: 42007014
42
7
14
And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
field: 42007015
42
7
15
And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
field: 42007016
42
7
16
And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
field: 42007017
42
7
17
And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.
field: 42007018
42
7
18
And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
field: 42007019
42
7
19
And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
field: 42007020
42
7
20
When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
field: 42007021
42
7
21
And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.
field: 42007022
42
7
22
Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
field: 42007023
42
7
23
And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
field: 42007024
42
7
24
And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
field: 42007025
42
7
25
But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.
field: 42007026
42
7
26
But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
field: 42007027
42
7
27
This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
field: 42007028
42
7
28
For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
field: 42007029
42
7
29
And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
field: 42007030
42
7
30
But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
field: 42007031
42
7
31
And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
field: 42007032
42
7
32
They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
field: 42007033
42
7
33
For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
field: 42007034
42
7
34
The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
field: 42007035
42
7
35
But wisdom is justified of all her children.
field: 42007036
42
7
36
And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
field: 42007037
42
7
37
And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
field: 42007038
42
7
38
And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
field: 42007039
42
7
39
Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
field: 42007040
42
7
40
And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
field: 42007041
42
7
41
There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
field: 42007042
42
7
42
And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
field: 42007043
42
7
43
Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
field: 42007044
42
7
44
And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
field: 42007045
42
7
45
Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
field: 42007046
42
7
46
My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
field: 42007047
42
7
47
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
field: 42007048
42
7
48
And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
field: 42007049
42
7
49
And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
field: 42007050
42
7
50
And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
field: 42008001
42

1
And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
field: 42008002
42
8
2
And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
field: 42008003
42
8
3
And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
field: 42008004
42
8
4
And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
field: 42008005
42
8
5
A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
field: 42008006
42
8
6
And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
field: 42008007
42
8
7
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
field: 42008008
42
8
8
And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
field: 42008010
42
8
10
And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
field: 42008011
42
8
11
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
field: 42008012
42
8
12
Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
field: 42008013
42
8
13
They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
field: 42008014
42
8
14
And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
field: 42008015
42
8
15
But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
field: 42008016
42

16
No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
field: 42008017
42
8
17
For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
field: 42008018
42
8
18
Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
field: 42008019

Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
field: 42008020
42
8
20
And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
field: 42008021
42
8
21
And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
field: 42008022
42
8
22
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
field: 42008023
42
8
23
But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
field: 42008024
42
8
24
And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
field: 42008025
42
8
25
And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
field: 42008026
42
8
26
And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
field: 42008027
42
8
27
And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.
field: 42008028
42
8
28
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
field: 42008029
42
8
29
(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
field: 42008030
42
8
30
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
field: 42008031
42
8
31
And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.
field: 42008032
42
8
32
And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
field: 42008033
42
8
33
Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
field: 42008034
42
8
34
When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
field: 42008035
42
8
35
Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
field: 42008036
42
8
36
They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
field: 42008037
42
8
37
Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
field: 42008038
42
8
38
Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
field: 42008039
42
8
39
Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.
field: 42008040
42
8
40
And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
field: 42008041
42
8
41
And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:
field: 42008042
42
8
42
For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
field: 42008043
42
8
43
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
field: 42008044
42
8
44
Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
field: 42008045
42
8
45
And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
field: 42008046
42
8
46
And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
field: 42008047
42
8
47
And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
field: 42008048
42
8
48
And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
field: 42008049
42
8
49
While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
field: 42008050
42
8
50
But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
field: 42008051
42
8
51
And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
field: 42008052
42
8
52
And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
field: 42008053
42
8
53
And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
field: 42008054
42
8
54
And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
field: 42008055
42
8
55
And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
field: 42008056
42
8
56
And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
field: 42009001
42
9
1
Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
field: 42009002
42
9
2
And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
field: 42009003
42
9
3
And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
field: 42009004
42
9
4
And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
field: 42009005
42
9
5
And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
field: 42009006
42
9
6
And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
field: 42009007
42
9
7
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;
field: 42009008
42
9
8
And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
field: 42009009
42
9
9
And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
field: 42009010
42
9
10
And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
field: 42009011
42
9
11
And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
field: 42009012
42
9
12
And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
field: 42009013
42
9
13
But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
field: 42009014
42
9
14
For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
field: 42009015
42
9
15
And they did so, and made them all sit down.
field: 42009016
42
9
16
Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
field: 42009017
42
9
17
And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
field: 42009018
42
9
18
And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
field: 42009019
42
9
19
They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
field: 42009020
42
9
20
He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
field: 42009021
42
9
21
And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
field: 42009022
42
9
22
Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
field: 42009023
42
9
23
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
field: 42009024
42
9
24
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
field: 42009025
42
9
25
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
field: 42009026
42
9
26
For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
field: 42009027
42
9
27
But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
field: 42009028
42
9
28
And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
field: 42009029
42
9
29
And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
field: 42009030
42
9
30
And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
field: 42009031
42
9
31
Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
field: 42009032
42
9
32
But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
field: 42009033
42
9
33
And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
field: 42009034
42
9
34
While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
field: 42009035
42
9
35
And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
field: 42009036
42
9
36
And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
field: 42009037
42
9
37
And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
field: 42009038
42
9
38
And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
field: 42009039
42
9
39
And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
field: 42009040
42
9
40
And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
field: 42009041
42
9
41
And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
field: 42009042
42
9
42
And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
field: 42009043
42
9
43
And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
field: 42009044
42
9
44
Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
field: 42009045
42
9
45
But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
field: 42009046
42
9
46
Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
field: 42009047
42
9
47
And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
field: 42009048
42
9
48
And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
field: 42009049
42
9
49
And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
field: 42009050
42
9
50
And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
field: 42009051
42
9
51
And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
field: 42009052
42
9
52
And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
field: 42009053
42
9
53
And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
field: 42009054
42
9
54
And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
field: 42009055
42
9
55
But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
field: 42009056
42
9
56
For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
field: 42009057
42
9
57
And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
field: 42009058
42
9
58
And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
field: 42009059
42
9
59
And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
field: 42009060
42
9
60
Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
field: 42009061
42
9
61
And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
field: 42009062
42
9
62
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
field: 42010001
42
10
1
After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
field: 42010002
42
10
2
Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
field: 42010003
42
10
3
Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
field: 42010004
42
10
4
Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
field: 42010005
42
10
5
And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
field: 42010006
42
10
6
And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
field: 42010007
42
10
7
And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
field: 42010008
42
10
8
And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
field: 42010009
42
10
9
And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
field: 42010010
42
10
10
But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
field: 42010011
42
10
11
Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
field: 42010012
42
10
12
But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
field: 42010013
42
10
13
Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
field: 42010014
42
10
14
But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
field: 42010015
42
10
15
And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
field: 42010016
42
10
16
He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
field: 42010017
42
10
17
And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
field: 42010018
42
10
18
And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
field: 42010019
42
10
19
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
field: 42010020
42
10
20
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
field: 42010021
42
10
21
In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
field: 42010022
42
10
22
All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
field: 42010023
42
10
23
And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
field: 42010024
42
10
24
For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
field: 42010025
42
10
25
And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
field: 42010026
42
10
26
He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
field: 42010027
42
10
27
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
field: 42010028
42
10
28
And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
field: 42010029
42
10
29
But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
field: 42010030
42
10
30
And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
field: 42010031

And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
field: 42010032
42
10
32
And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
field: 42010033
42
10
33
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
field: 42010034
42
10
34
And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
field: 42010035
42
10
35
And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
field: 42010036
42
10
36
Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
field: 42010037
42
10
37
And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
field: 42010038
42
10
38
Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
field: 42010039
42
10
39
And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
field: 42010040
42
10
40
But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
field: 42010041
42
10
41
And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
field: 42010042
42
10
42
But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
field: 42011001
42
11
1
And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
field: 42011002
42
11
2
And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
field: 42011003
42
11
3
Give us day by day our daily bread.
field: 42011004
42
11
4
And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
field: 42011005
42
11
5
And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
field: 42011006
42
11
6
For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
field: 42011007
42
11
7
And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
field: 42011008
42
11
8
I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
field: 42011009
42
11
9
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
field: 42011010
42
11
10
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
field: 42011011
42
11
11
If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
field: 42011012
42
11
12
Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
field: 42011013
42
11
13
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
field: 42011014
42
11
14
And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
field: 42011015
42
11
15
But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
field: 42011016
42
11
16
And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
field: 42011017
42
11
17
But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
field: 42011018
42
11
18
If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
field: 42011019
42
11
19
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
field: 42011020
42
11
20
But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
field: 42011021
42
11
21
When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
field: 42011022
42
11
22
But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
field: 42011023
42
11
23
He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
field: 42011024
42
11
24
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
field: 42011025
42
11
25
And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
field: 42011026
42
11
26
Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
field: 42011027
42
11
27
And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
field: 42011028
42
11
28
But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
field: 42011029
42
11
29
And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
field: 42011030
42
11
30
For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
field: 42011031
42
11
31
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
field: 42011032
42
11
32
The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
field: 42011033
42
11
33
No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
field: 42011034
42
11
34
The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
field: 42011035
42
11
35
Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
field: 42011036
42
11
36
If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
field: 42011037
42
11
37
And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
field: 42011038
42
11
38
And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.
field: 42011039
42
11
39
And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
field: 42011040
42
11
40
Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
field: 42011041
42
11
41
But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
field: 42011042
42
11
42
But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
field: 42011043
42
11
43
Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
field: 42011044
42
11
44
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
field: 42011045
42
11
45
Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
field: 42011046
42
11
46
And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
field: 42011047
42
11
47
Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
field: 42011048
42
11
48
Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
field: 42011049
42
11
49
Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
field: 42011050
42
11
50
That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
field: 42011051
42
11
51
From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
field: 42011052
42
11
52
Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
field: 42011053
42
11
53
And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
field: 42011054
42
11
54
Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
field: 42012001
42
12
1
In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
field: 42012002
42
12
2
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
field: 42012003
42
12
3
Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
field: 42012004
42
12
4
And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
field: 42012005
42
12
5
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
field: 42012006
42
12
6
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
field: 42012007
42
12
7
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
field: 42012008
42
12
8
Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
field: 42012009
42
12
9
But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
field: 42012010
42
12
10
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
field: 42012011
42
12
11
And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
field: 42012012
42
12
12
For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
field: 42012013
42
12
13
And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
field: 42012014
42
12
14
And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
field: 42012015
42
12
15
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
field: 42012016
42
12
16
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
field: 42012017
42
12
17
And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
field: 42012018
42
12
18
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
field: 42012019
42
12
19
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
field: 42012020
42
12
20
But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
field: 42012021
42
12
21
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
field: 42012022
42
12
22
And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
field: 42012023
42
12
23
The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
field: 42012024
42
12
24
Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
field: 42012025
42
12
25
And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
field: 42012026
42
12
26
If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
field: 42012027
42
12
27
Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
field: 42012028
42
12
28
If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
field: 42012029
42
12
29
And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
field: 42012030
42
12
30
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
field: 42012031
42
12
31
But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
field: 42012032
42
12
32
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
field: 42012033
42
12
33
Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
field: 42012034
42
12
34
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
field: 42012035
42
12
35
Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
field: 42012036
42
12
36
And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
field: 42012037
42
12
37
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
field: 42012038
42
12
38
And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
field: 42012039
42
12
39
And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
field: 42012040
42
12
40
Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
field: 42012041
42
12
41
Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
field: 42012042
42
12
42
And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
field: 42012043
42
12
43
Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
field: 42012044
42
12
44
Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
field: 42012045
42
12
45
But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
field: 42012046
42
12
46
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
field: 42012047
42
12
47
And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
field: 42012048
42
12
48
But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
field: 42012049
42
12
49
I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
field: 42012050
42
12
50
But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
field: 42012051
42
12
51
Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
field: 42012052
42
12
52
For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
field: 42012053
42
12
53
The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
field: 42012054
42
12
54
And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
field: 42012055
42
12
55
And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
field: 42012056
42
12
56
Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
field: 42012057
42
12
57
Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
field: 42012058
42
12
58
When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

59
I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
field: 42013002
42
13
2
And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
field: 42013003
42
13
3
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
field: 42013004
42
13
4
Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
field: 42013005
42
13
5
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
field: 42013006
42

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.
field: 42013007
42
13
7
Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
field: 42013008
42
13
8
And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
field: 42013009
42
13
9
And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
field: 42013010
42
13
10
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
field: 42013011
42
13
11
And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
field: 42013012
42
13
12
And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
field: 42013013
42
13
13
And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
field: 42013014
42
13
14
And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

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?
field: 42013016
42
13
16
And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
field: 42013017
42
13
17
And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
field: 42013018
42
13
18
Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?
field: 42013019
42
13
19
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
field: 42013020
42
13
20
And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
field: 42013021
42
13
21
It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
field: 42013022
42
13
22
And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
field: 42013023
42
13
23
Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
field: 42013024
42
13
24
Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
field: 42013025
42
13
25
When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
field: 42013026
42
13
26
Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
field: 42013027
42
13
27
But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
field: 42013028
42
13
28
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
field: 42013029
42
13
29
And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
field: 42013030
42
13
30
And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
field: 42013031
42
13
31
The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
field: 42013032
42
13
32
And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
field: 42013033
42
13
33
Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
field: 42013034
42
13
34
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
field: 42013035
42
13
35
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
field: 42014001
42
14
1
And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
field: 42014002
42
14
2
And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
field: 42014003
42
14
3
And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
field: 42014004
42
14
4
And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
field: 42014005
42
14
5
And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
field: 42014006
42
14
6
And they could not answer him again to these things.
field: 42014007
42
14
7
And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.
field: 42014008
42
14
8
When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
field: 42014009
42
14
9
And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
field: 42014010
42
14
10
But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
field: 42014011
42
14
11
For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
field: 42014012
42
14
12
Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
field: 42014013
42
14
13
But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
field: 42014014
42
14
14
And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
field: 42014015
42
14
15
And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
field: 42014016
42
14
16
Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
field: 42014017
42
14
17
And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
field: 42014018
42
14
18
And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
field: 42014019
42
14
19
And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
field: 42014020
42
14
20
And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
field: 42014021
42
14
21
So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
field: 42014022
42
14
22
And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
field: 42014023
42
14
23
And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
field: 42014024
42
14
24
For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
field: 42014025
42
14
25
And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
field: 42014026
42
14
26
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
field: 42014027
42
14
27
And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
field: 42014028
42
14
28
For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
field: 42014029
42
14
29
Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
field: 42014030
42
14
30
Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
field: 42014031
42
14
31
Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
field: 42014032
42
14
32
Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
field: 42014033
42
14
33
So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
field: 42014034
42
14
34
Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
field: 42014035
42
14
35
It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
field: 42015001
42
15
1
Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
field: 42015002
42
15
2
And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
field: 42015003
42
15
3
And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
field: 42015004
42
15
4
What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
field: 42015005
42
15
5
And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
field: 42015006
42
15
6
And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
field: 42015007
42
15
7
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
field: 42015008
42
15
8
Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
field: 42015009
42
15
9
And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
field: 42015010
42
15
10
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
field: 42015011
42
15
11
And he said, A certain man had two sons:
field: 42015012
42
15
12
And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
field: 42015013
42
15
13
And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
field: 42015014
42
15
14
And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
field: 42015015
42
15
15
And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
field: 42015016
42
15
16
And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
field: 42015017
42
15
17
And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
field: 42015018
42
15
18
I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
field: 42015019
42
15
19
And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
field: 42015020
42
15
20
And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
field: 42015021
42
15
21
And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
field: 42015022
42
15
22
But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
field: 42015023
42
15
23
And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
field: 42015024
42
15
24
For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
field: 42015025
42
15
25
Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
field: 42015026
42
15
26
And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
field: 42015027
42
15
27
And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
field: 42015028
42
15
28
And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
field: 42015029
42
15
29
And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
field: 42015030
42
15
30
But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
field: 42015031
42
15
31
And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
field: 42015032
42
15
32
It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
field: 42016001
42
16
1
And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.
field: 42016002
42
16
2
And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
field: 42016003
42
16
3
Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
field: 42016004
42
16
4
I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
field: 42016005
42
16
5
So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
field: 42016006
42
16
6
And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
field: 42016007
42
16
7
Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
field: 42016008
42
16
8
And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
field: 42016009
42
16
9
And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
field: 42016010
42
16
10
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
field: 42016011
42
16
11
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
field: 42016012
42
16
12
And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
field: 42016013
42
16
13
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
field: 42016014
42
16
14
And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
field: 42016015
42
16
15
And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
field: 42016016
42
16
16
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
field: 42016017
42
16
17
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
field: 42016018
42
16
18
Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
field: 42016019
42
16
19
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
field: 42016020
42
16
20
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
field: 42016021
42
16
21
And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
field: 42016022
42
16
22
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
field: 42016023
42
16
23
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
field: 42016024
42
16
24
And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
field: 42016025
42
16
25
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
field: 42016026
42
16
26
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
field: 42016027
42
16
27
Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
field: 42016028
42
16
28
For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
field: 42016029
42
16
29
Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
field: 42016030
42
16
30
And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
field: 42016031
42
16
31
And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
field: 42017001
42
17
1
Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
field: 42017002
42
17
2
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
field: 42017003
42
17
3
Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
field: 42017004
42
17
4
And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
field: 42017005
42
17
5
And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
field: 42017006
42
17
6
And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
field: 42017007
42
17
7
But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
field: 42017008
42
17
8
And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
field: 42017009
42
17
9
Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
field: 42017010
42
17
10
So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
field: 42017011
42
17
11
And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
field: 42017012
42
17
12
And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
field: 42017013
42
17
13
And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
field: 42017014
42
17
14
And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
field: 42017015
42
17
15
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
field: 42017016
42
17
16
And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
field: 42017017
42
17
17
And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
field: 42017018
42
17
18
There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
field: 42017019
42
17
19
And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
field: 42017020
42
17
20
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
field: 42017021
42
17
21
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
field: 42017022
42

22
And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
field: 42017023
42
17
23
And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
field: 42017024
42
17
24
For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
field: 42017025
42
17
25
But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
field: 42017026
42
17
26
And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
field: 42017027
42
17
27
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
field: 42017028
42
17
28
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
field: 42017029
42
17
29
But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
field: 42017030
42
17
30
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
field: 42017031
42
17
31
In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
field: 42017032
42
17
32
Remember Lot's wife.
field: 42017033
42
17
33
Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
field: 42017034
42
17
34
I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
field: 42017035
42
17
35
Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
field: 42017036
42
17
36
Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
field: 42017037
42
17
37
And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
field: 42018001
42
18
1
And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
field: 42018002
42
18
2
Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
field: 42018003
42
18
3
And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
field: 42018004
42
18
4
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
field: 42018005
42
18
5
Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
field: 42018006
42
18
6
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
field: 42018007
42
18
7
And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
field: 42018008
42
18
8
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
field: 42018009
42
18
9
And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
field: 42018010
42
18
10
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
field: 42018011
42
18
11
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
field: 42018012
42
18
12
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
field: 42018013
42
18
13
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
field: 42018014
42
18
14
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
field: 42018015
42
18
15
And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
field: 42018016
42
18
16
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
field: 42018017
42
18
17
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
field: 42018018
42
18
18
And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
field: 42018019
42
18
19
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
field: 42018020
42
18
20
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
field: 42018021
42
18
21
And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
field: 42018022
42
18
22
Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
field: 42018023
42
18
23
And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
field: 42018024
42
18
24
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
field: 42018025
42
18
25
For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
field: 42018026
42
18
26
And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
field: 42018027
42
18
27
And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
field: 42018028
42
18
28
Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
field: 42018029
42
18
29
And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
field: 42018030
42
18
30
Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
field: 42018031
42
18
31
Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
field: 42018032
42
18
32
For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
field: 42018033
42
18
33
And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
field: 42018034
42
18
34
And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
field: 42018035
42
18
35
And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
field: 42018036
42
18
36
And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
field: 42018037
42
18
37
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
field: 42018038
42
18
38
And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
field: 42018039
42
18
39
And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
field: 42018040
42
18
40
And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
field: 42018041
42
18
41
Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
field: 42018042
42
18
42
And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
field: 42018043
42
18
43
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
field: 42019001
42
19
1
And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
field: 42019002
42
19
2
And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
field: 42019003
42
19
3
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
field: 42019004
42
19
4
And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
field: 42019005
42
19
5
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
field: 42019006
42
19
6
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
field: 42019007
42
19
7
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
field: 42019008
42
19
8
And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
field: 42019009
42
19
9
And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
field: 42019010
42
19
10
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
field: 42019011
42
19
11
And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
field: 42019012
42
19
12
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
field: 42019013
42
19
13
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
field: 42019014
42
19
14
But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
field: 42019015
42
19
15
And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
field: 42019016
42
19
16
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
field: 42019017
42
19
17
And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
field: 42019018
42
19
18
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
field: 42019019
42
19
19
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
field: 42019020
42
19
20
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
field: 42019021
42
19
21
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
field: 42019022
42
19
22
And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
field: 42019023
42
19
23
Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
field: 42019024
42
19
24
And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
field: 42019025
42
19
25
(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
field: 42019026
42
19
26
For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
field: 42019027
42
19
27
But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
field: 42019028
42
19
28
And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
field: 42019029
42
19
29
And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
field: 42019030
42
19
30
Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
field: 42019031
42
19
31
And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
field: 42019032
42
19
32
And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
field: 42019033
42
19
33
And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
field: 42019034
42
19
34
And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
field: 42019035
42
19
35
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
field: 42019036
42
19
36
And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
field: 42019037
42
19
37
And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
field: 42019038
42
19
38
Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
field: 42019039
42
19
39
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
field: 42019040
42
19
40
And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
field: 42019041
42
19
41
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
field: 42019042
42
19
42
Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
field: 42019043
42
19
43
For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
field: 42019044
42
19
44
And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
field: 42019045
42
19
45
And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
field: 42019046
42
19
46
Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
field: 42019047
42
19
47
And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
field: 42019048
42
19
48
And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
field: 42020001
42
20
1
And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,
field: 42020002
42
20
2
And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
field: 42020003
42
20
3
And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
field: 42020004
42
20
4
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
field: 42020005
42
20
5
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
field: 42020006
42
20
6
But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
field: 42020007
42
20
7
And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
field: 42020008
42
20
8
And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
field: 42020009
42
20
9
Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
field: 42020010
42
20
10
And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
field: 42020011
42
20
11
And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
field: 42020012
42
20
12
And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
field: 42020013
42
20
13
Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.
field: 42020014
42
20
14
But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
field: 42020015
42
20
15
So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
field: 42020016
42
20
16
He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
field: 42020017
42
20
17
And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
field: 42020018
42
20
18
Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
field: 42020019
42
20
19
And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
field: 42020020
42
20
20
And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.
field: 42020021
42
20
21
And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:
field: 42020022
42
20
22
Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
field: 42020023
42
20
23
But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
field: 42020024
42
20
24
Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.
field: 42020025
42
20
25
And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.
field: 42020026
42
20
26
And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
field: 42020027
42
20
27
Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
field: 42020028
42
20
28
Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
field: 42020029
42
20
29
There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
field: 42020030
42
20
30
And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
field: 42020031
42
20
31
And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
field: 42020032
42
20
32
Last of all the woman died also.
field: 42020033
42
20
33
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
field: 42020034
42
20
34
And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
field: 42020035
42
20
35
But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
field: 42020036
42
20
36
Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
field: 42020037
42
20
37
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
field: 42020038
42
20
38
For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
field: 42020039
42
20
39
Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
field: 42020040
42
20
40
And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.
field: 42020041
42
20
41
And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?
field: 42020042

42
And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
field: 42020043
42
20
43
Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
field: 42020044
42
20
44
David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
field: 42020045
42
20
45
Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,
field: 42020046
42
20
46
Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
field: 42020047
42
20
47
Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
field: 42021001
42
21
1
And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
field: 42021002
42
21
2
And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
field: 42021003
42
21
3
And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
field: 42021004
42
21
4
For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
field: 42021005
42
21
5
And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
field: 42021006
42
21
6
As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
field: 42021007
42
21
7
And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
field: 42021008
42
21
8
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
field: 42021009
42
21
9
But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
field: 42021010
42
21
10
Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
field: 42021011
42
21
11
And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
field: 42021012
42
21
12
But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
field: 42021013
42
21
13
And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
field: 42021014
42
21
14
Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
field: 42021015
42
21
15
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
field: 42021016
42
21
16
And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
field: 42021017
42
21
17
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
field: 42021018
42
21
18
But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
field: 42021019
42
21
19
In your patience possess ye your souls.
field: 42021020
42
21
20
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
field: 42021021
42
21
21
Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
field: 42021022
42
21
22
For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
field: 42021023
42
21
23
But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
field: 42021024
42
21
24
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
field: 42021025
42
21
25
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
field: 42021026
42
21
26
Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
field: 42021027
42
21
27
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
field: 42021028
42
21
28
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
field: 42021029
42
21
29
And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
field: 42021030
42
21
30
When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
field: 42021031
42
21
31
So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
field: 42021032
42
21
32
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
field: 42021033
42
21
33
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
field: 42021034
42
21
34
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
field: 42021035
42
21
35
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
field: 42021036
42
21
36
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
field: 42021037
42
21
37
And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
field: 42021038
42
21
38
And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.
field: 42022001
42
22
1
Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
field: 42022002
42
22
2
And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
field: 42022003
42
22
3
Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
field: 42022004
42
22
4
And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.
field: 42022005
42
22
5
And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
field: 42022006
42
22
6
And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
field: 42022007
42
22
7
Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
field: 42022008
42
22
8
And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
field: 42022009
42
22
9
And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
field: 42022010
42
22
10
And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.
field: 42022011
42
22
11
And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
field: 42022012
42
22
12
And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
field: 42022013
42
22
13
And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
field: 42022014
42
22
14
And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
field: 42022015
42
22
15
And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
field: 42022016
42
22
16
For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
field: 42022017
42
22
17
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
field: 42022018
42
22
18
For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
field: 42022019
42
22
19
And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
field: 42022020
42
22
20
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
field: 42022021
42
22
21
But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
field: 42022022
42
22
22
And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
field: 42022023
42
22
23
And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
field: 42022024
42
22
24
And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
field: 42022025
42
22
25
And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
field: 42022026
42
22
26
But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
field: 42022027
42
22
27
For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
field: 42022028
42
22
28
Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
field: 42022029
42
22
29
And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
field: 42022030
42
22
30
That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
field: 42022031
42
22
31
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
field: 42022032
42
22
32
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
field: 42022033
42
22
33
And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
field: 42022034
42
22
34
And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
field: 42022035
42
22
35
And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
field: 42022036
42
22
36
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
field: 42022037
42
22
37
For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
field: 42022038
42
22
38
And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
field: 42022039
42
22
39
And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
field: 42022040
42
22
40
And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
field: 42022041
42
22
41
And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
field: 42022042
42
22
42
Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
field: 42022043
42
22
43
And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
field: 42022044
42
22
44
And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
field: 42022045
42
22
45
And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
field: 42022046
42
22
46
And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
field: 42022047
42
22
47
And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
field: 42022048
42
22
48
But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
field: 42022049
42
22
49
When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
field: 42022050
42
22
50
And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
field: 42022051
42
22
51
And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.
field: 42022052
42
22
52
Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?
field: 42022053
42
22
53
When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
field: 42022054
42
22
54
Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.
field: 42022055
42
22
55
And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.
field: 42022056
42
22
56
But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.
field: 42022057
42
22
57
And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
field: 42022058
42
22
58
And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
field: 42022059
42
22
59
And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.
field: 42022060
42
22
60
And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.
field: 42022061
42
22
61
And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
field: 42022062
42
22
62
And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
field: 42022063
42
22
63
And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.
field: 42022064
42
22
64
And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?
field: 42022065
42
22
65
And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.
field: 42022066
42
22
66
And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,
field: 42022067
42
22
67
Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
field: 42022068
42
22
68
And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.
field: 42022069
42
22
69
Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
field: 42022070
42
22
70
Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.
field: 42022071
42
22
71
And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
field: 42023001
42
23
1
And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.
field: 42023002
42
23
2
And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.
field: 42023003
42
23
3
And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.
field: 42023004
42
23
4
Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.
field: 42023005
42
23
5
And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.
field: 42023006
42
23
6
When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.
field: 42023007
42
23
7
And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.
field: 42023008
42
23
8
And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.
field: 42023009
42
23
9
Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
field: 42023010
42
23
10
And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
field: 42023011
42
23
11
And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
field: 42023012
42
23
12
And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
field: 42023013
42
23
13
And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
field: 42023014
42
23
14
Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:
field: 42023015
42
23
15
No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.
field: 42023016
42
23
16
I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
field: 42023017
42
23
17
(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
field: 42023018
42
23
18
And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:
field: 42023019
42
23
19
(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)
field: 42023020
42
23
20
Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.
field: 42023021
42
23
21
But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
field: 42023022
42
23
22
And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.
field: 42023023
42
23
23
And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
field: 42023024
42
23
24
And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
field: 42023025
42
23
25
And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
field: 42023026
42
23
26
And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
field: 42023027
42
23
27
And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
field: 42023028
42
23
28
But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
field: 42023029
42
23
29
For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.
field: 42023030
42
23
30
Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
field: 42023031
42
23
31
For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
field: 42023032
42
23
32
And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
field: 42023033
42
23
33
And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
field: 42023034
42
23
34
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
field: 42023035
42
23
35
And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
field: 42023036
42
23
36
And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
field: 42023037
42
23
37
And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
field: 42023038
42
23
38
And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
field: 42023039
42
23
39
And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
field: 42023040
42
23
40
But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
field: 42023041
42
23
41
And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
field: 42023042
42
23
42
And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
field: 42023043
42
23
43
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
field: 42023044
42
23
44
And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
field: 42023045
42
23
45
And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
field: 42023046
42
23
46
And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
field: 42023047
42
23
47
Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
field: 42023048
42
23
48
And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
field: 42023049
42
23
49
And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
field: 42023050
42
23
50
And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:
field: 42023051
42
23
51
(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.
field: 42023052
42
23
52
This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
field: 42023053
42
23
53
And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
field: 42023054
42
23
54
And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
field: 42023055
42
23
55
And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
field: 42023056
42
23
56
And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
field: 42024001
42
24
1
Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
field: 42024002
42
24
2
And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
field: 42024003
42
24
3
And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
field: 42024004
42
24
4
And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
field: 42024005
42
24
5
And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
field: 42024006
42
24
6
He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
field: 42024007
42
24
7
Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
field: 42024008
42
24
8
And they remembered his words,
field: 42024009
42
24
9
And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
field: 42024010
42
24
10
It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.
field: 42024011
42
24
11
And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
field: 42024012
42
24
12
Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
field: 42024013
42
24
13
And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
field: 42024014
42
24
14
And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
field: 42024015
42
24
15
And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
field: 42024016
42
24
16
But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
field: 42024017
42
24
17
And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
field: 42024018
42
24
18
And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
field: 42024019
42
24
19
And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
field: 42024020
42
24
20
And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
field: 42024021
42
24
21
But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
field: 42024022
42
24
22
Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
field: 42024023
42
24
23
And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
field: 42024024
42
24
24
And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
field: 42024025
42
24
25
Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
field: 42024026
42
24
26
Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
field: 42024027
42
24
27
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
field: 42024028
42
24
28
And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
field: 42024029
42
24
29
But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
field: 42024030
42
24
30
And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
field: 42024031
42
24
31
And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
field: 42024032
42
24
32
And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
field: 42024033
42
24
33
And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
field: 42024034
42
24
34
Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
field: 42024035
42
24
35
And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
field: 42024036
42
24
36
And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
field: 42024037
42
24
37
But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
field: 42024038
42
24
38
And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
field: 42024039
42
24
39
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
field: 42024040
42
24
40
And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
field: 42024041
42
24
41
And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
field: 42024042
42
24
42
And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
field: 42024043
42
24
43
And he took it, and did eat before them.
field: 42024044
42
24
44
And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
field: 42024045
42
24
45
Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
field: 42024046
42
24
46
And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
field: 42024047
42
24
47
And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
field: 42024048
42
24
48
And ye are witnesses of these things.
field: 42024049
42
24
49
And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
field: 42024050
42
24
50
And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
field: 42024051
42
24
51
And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
field: 42024052
42
24
52
And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
field: 42024053
42
24
53
And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
field: 43001001
43

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
field: 43001002
43
1
2
The same was in the beginning with God.
field: 43001003
43
1
3
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
field: 43001004
43
1
4
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
field: 43001005
43
1
5
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
field: 43001006
43
1
6
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
field: 43001007
43
1
7
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
field: 43001008
43
1
8
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
field: 43001009
43
1
9
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
field: 43001010
43
1
10
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
field: 43001011
43
1
11
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
field: 43001012
43
1
12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
field: 43001013
43
1
13
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
field: 43001014
43
1
14
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
field: 43001015
43
1
15
John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
field: 43001016
43
1
16
And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
field: 43001017
43
1
17
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
field: 43001018
43
1
18
No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
field: 43001019
43
1
19
And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
field: 43001020
43
1
20
And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
field: 43001021
43
1
21
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
field: 43001022
43
1
22
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
field: 43001023
43
1
23
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
field: 43001024
43
1
24
And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
field: 43001025
43
1
25
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
field: 43001026
43
1
26
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
field: 43001027
43
1
27
He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
field: 43001028
43
1
28
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
field: 43001029
43
1
29
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
field: 43001030
43
1
30
This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
field: 43001031
43
1
31
And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
field: 43001032
43
1
32
And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
field: 43001033
43
1
33
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
field: 43001034
43
1
34
And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
field: 43001035
43
1
35
Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
field: 43001036
43
1
36
And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
field: 43001037
43
1
37
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
field: 43001038
43
1
38
Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
field: 43001039
43
1
39
He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
field: 43001040
43
1
40
One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
field: 43001041
43
1
41
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
field: 43001042
43
1
42
And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
field: 43001043
43
1
43
The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
field: 43001044
43
1
44
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
field: 43001045
43
1
45
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
field: 43001046
43
1
46
And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
field: 43001047
43
1
47
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
field: 43001048
43
1
48
Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
field: 43001049
43
1
49
Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
field: 43001050
43
1
50
Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
field: 43001051
43
1
51
And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
field: 43002001
43

1
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
field: 43002002
43
2
2
And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
field: 43002003
43
2
3
And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
field: 43002004
43
2
4
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
field: 43002005
43
2
5
His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
field: 43002006
43
2
6
And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
field: 43002007
43
2
7
Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
field: 43002008
43
2
8
And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
field: 43002009
43
2
9
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
field: 43002010
43
2
10
And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
field: 43002011
43
2
11
This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
field: 43002012
43
2
12
After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
field: 43002013
43
2
13
And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
field: 43002014
43
2
14
And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
field: 43002015
43
2
15
And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
field: 43002016
43
2
16
And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
field: 43002017
43
2
17
And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
field: 43002018
43
2
18
Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
field: 43002019
43
2
19
Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
field: 43002020
43
2
20
Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
field: 43002021
43
2
21
But he spake of the temple of his body.
field: 43002022
43
2
22
When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
field: 43002023
43
2
23
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
field: 43002024
43
2
24
But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
field: 43002025
43
2
25
And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
field: 43003001
43
3
1
There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
field: 43003002
43
3
2
The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
field: 43003003
43
3
3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
field: 43003004

Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
field: 43003010
43

10
Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
field: 43003011

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

14
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
field: 43003015
43
3
15
That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
field: 43003016
43
3
16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
field: 43003017
43
3
17
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
field: 43003018
43
3
18
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
field: 43003019
43

19
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
field: 43003020
43
3
20
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
field: 43003021
43

21
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
field: 43003022

After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
field: 43003023
43
3
23
And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
field: 43003024
43
3
24
For John was not yet cast into prison.
field: 43003025
43
3
25
Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.
field: 43003026
43
3
26
And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
field: 43003027
43
3
27
John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
field: 43003028

Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
field: 43003033
43

33
He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
field: 43003034

For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
field: 43004002
43
4
2
(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
field: 43004003
43
4
3
He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
field: 43004004
43
4
4
And he must needs go through Samaria.
field: 43004005
43
4
5
Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
field: 43004006
43
4
6
Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
field: 43004007
43
4
7
There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
field: 43004008
43
4
8
(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
field: 43004009
43
4
9
Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
field: 43004010
43
4
10
Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
field: 43004011
43
4
11
The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
field: 43004012
43
4
12
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
field: 43004013
43
4
13
Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
field: 43004014
43
4
14
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
field: 43004015
43
4
15
The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
field: 43004016
43
4
16
Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
field: 43004017
43
4
17
The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
field: 43004018
43
4
18
For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
field: 43004019
43
4
19
The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
field: 43004020
43
4
20
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
field: 43004021
43
4
21
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
field: 43004022
43
4
22
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
field: 43004023
43
4
23
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
field: 43004024
43
4
24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
field: 43004025
43
4
25
The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
field: 43004026
43
4
26
Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
field: 43004027
43
4
27
And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
field: 43004028
43
4
28
The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
field: 43004029
43
4
29
Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
field: 43004030
43
4
30
Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
field: 43004031
43
4
31
In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
field: 43004032
43
4
32
But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
field: 43004033
43
4
33
Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
field: 43004034
43
4
34
Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
field: 43004035
43
4
35
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
field: 43004036
43
4
36
And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
field: 43004037
43
4
37
And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
field: 43004038
43
4
38
I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
field: 43004039
43
4
39
And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
field: 43004040
43
4
40
So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
field: 43004041
43
4
41
And many more believed because of his own word;
field: 43004042
43
4
42
And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
field: 43004043
43
4
43
Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
field: 43004044
43
4
44
For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
field: 43004045
43
4
45
Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
field: 43004046
43
4
46
So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
field: 43004047
43
4
47
When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
field: 43004048
43
4
48
Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
field: 43004049
43
4
49
The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
field: 43004050
43
4
50
Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.
field: 43004051
43
4
51
And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
field: 43004052
43
4
52
Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
field: 43004053
43
4
53
So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.
field: 43004054
43
4
54
This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
field: 43005001
43
5
1
After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
field: 43005002
43
5
2
Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
field: 43005003
43
5
3
In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
field: 43005004
43
5
4
For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
field: 43005005
43
5
5
And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
field: 43005006
43
5
6
When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
field: 43005007
43
5
7
The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
field: 43005008
43
5
8
Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
field: 43005009
43
5
9
And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
field: 43005010
43
5
10
The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
field: 43005011
43
5
11
He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
field: 43005012
43
5
12
Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
field: 43005013
43
5
13
And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
field: 43005014
43
5
14
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
field: 43005015
43
5
15
The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
field: 43005016
43
5
16
And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
field: 43005017
43
5
17
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
field: 43005018
43
5
18
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
field: 43005019
43
5
19
Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
field: 43005020
43
5
20
For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
field: 43005021
43
5
21
For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
field: 43005022
43
5
22
For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
field: 43005023
43
5
23
That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
field: 43005024
43
5
24
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
field: 43005025
43
5
25
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
field: 43005026
43
5
26
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
field: 43005027
43
5
27
And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
field: 43005028
43
5
28
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
field: 43005029
43
5
29
And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
field: 43005030
43
5
30
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
field: 43005031
43
5
31
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
field: 43005032
43
5
32
There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
field: 43005033
43
5
33
Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
field: 43005034
43
5
34
But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
field: 43005035
43
5
35
He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
field: 43005036
43
5
36
But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
field: 43005037
43
5
37
And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
field: 43005038
43
5
38
And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
field: 43005039
43
5
39
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
field: 43005040
43
5
40
And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
field: 43005041
43
5
41
I receive not honour from men.
field: 43005042
43
5
42
But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
field: 43005043
43
5
43
I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
field: 43005044
43
5
44
How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
field: 43005045
43
5
45
Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
field: 43005046
43
5
46
For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
field: 43005047
43
5
47
But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
field: 43006001
43
6
1
After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
field: 43006002
43
6
2
And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
field: 43006003
43
6
3
And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
field: 43006004
43
6
4
And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
field: 43006005
43
6
5
When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
field: 43006006
43
6
6
And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
field: 43006007
43
6
7
Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
field: 43006008
43
6
8
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
field: 43006009
43
6
9
There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
field: 43006010
43
6
10
And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
field: 43006011
43
6
11
And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
field: 43006012
43
6
12
When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
field: 43006013
43
6
13
Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
field: 43006014
43
6
14
Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
field: 43006015
43
6
15
When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
field: 43006016
43
6
16
And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
field: 43006017
43
6
17
And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
field: 43006018
43
6
18
And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.

So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.
field: 43006020
43
6
20
But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
field: 43006021
43
6
21
Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
field: 43006022
43
6
22
The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;
field: 43006023
43
6
23
(Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)
field: 43006024
43
6
24
When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
field: 43006025
43
6
25
And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
field: 43006026
43
6
26
Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
field: 43006027
43
6
27
Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
field: 43006028
43
6
28
Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
field: 43006029
43
6
29
Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
field: 43006030
43
6
30
They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
field: 43006031
43
6
31
Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
field: 43006032
43
6
32
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
field: 43006033
43
6
33
For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
field: 43006034
43
6
34
Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
field: 43006035
43
6
35
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
field: 43006036
43
6
36
But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
field: 43006037
43
6
37
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
field: 43006038
43
6
38
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
field: 43006039
43
6
39
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
field: 43006040
43
6
40
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
field: 43006041
43
6
41
The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
field: 43006042
43
6
42
And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
field: 43006043
43
6
43
Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
field: 43006044
43
6
44
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
field: 43006045
43
6
45
It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
field: 43006046
43
6
46
Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
field: 43006047
43
6
47
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
field: 43006048
43
6
48
I am that bread of life.
field: 43006049
43
6
49
Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
field: 43006050
43
6
50
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
field: 43006051
43
6
51
I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
field: 43006052
43
6
52
The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
field: 43006053
43
6
53
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
field: 43006054
43
6
54
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
field: 43006055
43
6
55
For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
field: 43006056
43
6
56
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
field: 43006057
43
6
57
As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
field: 43006058
43
6
58
This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
field: 43006059
43
6
59
These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
field: 43006060
43
6
60
Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
field: 43006061
43
6
61
When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
field: 43006062
43
6
62
What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
field: 43006063
43
6
63
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
field: 43006064
43
6
64
But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
field: 43006065
43
6
65
And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
field: 43006066
43
6
66
From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
field: 43006067
43
6
67
Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
field: 43006068
43
6
68
Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
field: 43006069
43
6
69
And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
field: 43006070
43
6
70
Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
field: 43006071
43
6
71
He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
field: 43007001
43
7
1
After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
field: 43007002
43
7
2
Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
field: 43007003
43
7
3
His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
field: 43007004
43
7
4
For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
field: 43007005
43
7
5
For neither did his brethren believe in him.
field: 43007006
43
7
6
Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
field: 43007007
43
7
7
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
field: 43007008
43
7
8
Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
field: 43007009
43
7
9
When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
field: 43007010
43
7
10
But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
field: 43007011
43
7
11
Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
field: 43007012
43
7
12
And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
field: 43007013
43
7
13
Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
field: 43007014
43
7
14
Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
field: 43007015
43
7
15
And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
field: 43007016
43
7
16
Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
field: 43007017
43
7
17
If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
field: 43007018
43
7
18
He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
field: 43007019
43
7
19
Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
field: 43007020
43
7
20
The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
field: 43007021
43
7
21
Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
field: 43007022
43
7
22
Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
field: 43007023
43
7
23
If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
field: 43007024
43
7
24
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
field: 43007025
43
7
25
Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
field: 43007026
43
7
26
But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
field: 43007027
43
7
27
Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
field: 43007028
43
7
28
Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
field: 43007029
43
7
29
But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
field: 43007030
43
7
30
Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
field: 43007031
43
7
31
And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
field: 43007032
43
7
32
The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
field: 43007033
43
7
33
Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
field: 43007034
43
7
34
Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
field: 43007035
43
7
35
Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
field: 43007036
43
7
36
What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?
field: 43007037
43
7
37
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
field: 43007038
43
7
38
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
field: 43007039
43
7
39
(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
field: 43007040
43
7
40
Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
field: 43007041
43
7
41
Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
field: 43007042
43
7
42
Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
field: 43007043
43
7
43
So there was a division among the people because of him.
field: 43007044
43
7
44
And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
field: 43007045
43
7
45
Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
field: 43007046
43
7
46
The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
field: 43007047
43
7
47
Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
field: 43007048
43
7
48
Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
field: 43007049
43
7
49
But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
field: 43007050
43
7
50
Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
field: 43007051
43
7
51
Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
field: 43007052
43
7
52
They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
field: 43007053
43
7
53
And every man went unto his own house.
field: 43008001
43
8
1
Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
field: 43008002
43
8
2
And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
field: 43008003
43
8
3
And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
field: 43008004
43
8
4
They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
field: 43008005
43
8
5
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
field: 43008006
43
8
6
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
field: 43008007
43
8
7
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
field: 43008008
43
8
8
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
field: 43008009
43
8
9
And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
field: 43008010
43
8
10
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
field: 43008011
43
8
11
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
field: 43008012
43
8
12
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
field: 43008013
43
8
13
The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
field: 43008014
43
8
14
Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
field: 43008015
43
8
15
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
field: 43008016
43
8
16
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
field: 43008017
43
8
17
It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
field: 43008018
43
8
18
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
field: 43008019
43
8
19
Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
field: 43008020
43
8
20
These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
field: 43008021
43
8
21
Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
field: 43008022
43
8
22
Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
field: 43008023
43
8
23
And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
field: 43008024
43
8
24
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
field: 43008025
43
8
25
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
field: 43008026
43
8
26
I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
field: 43008027
43
8
27
They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
field: 43008028
43
8
28
Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
field: 43008029
43
8
29
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
field: 43008030
43
8
30
As he spake these words, many believed on him.
field: 43008031
43
8
31
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
field: 43008032
43
8
32
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
field: 43008033
43
8
33
They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
field: 43008034
43
8
34
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
field: 43008035
43
8
35
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
field: 43008036
43
8
36
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
field: 43008037
43
8
37
I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
field: 43008038
43
8
38
I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
field: 43008039
43
8
39
They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
field: 43008040
43
8
40
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
field: 43008041
43
8
41
Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
field: 43008042
43
8
42
Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
field: 43008043
43
8
43
Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
field: 43008044
43
8
44
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
field: 43008045
43
8
45
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
field: 43008046
43

46
Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
field: 43008047
43
8
47
He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
field: 43008048
43
8
48
Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
field: 43008049
43
8
49
Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
field: 43008050
43
8
50
And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
field: 43008051
43
8
51
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
field: 43008052
43
8
52
Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
field: 43008053
43
8
53
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
field: 43008054
43
8
54
Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
field: 43008055
43
8
55
Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
field: 43008056
43
8
56
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
field: 43008057
43
8
57
Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
field: 43008058
43
8
58
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
field: 43008059
43
8
59
Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
field: 43009001
43
9
1
And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
field: 43009002
43
9
2
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
field: 43009003
43
9
3
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
field: 43009004
43
9
4
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
field: 43009005
43
9
5
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
field: 43009006
43
9
6
When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
field: 43009007
43
9
7
And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
field: 43009008
43
9
8
The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
field: 43009009
43
9
9
Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
field: 43009010
43
9
10
Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
field: 43009011
43
9
11
He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
field: 43009012
43
9
12
Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
field: 43009013
43
9
13
They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
field: 43009014
43
9
14
And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
field: 43009015
43
9
15
Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
field: 43009016
43
9
16
Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
field: 43009017
43
9
17
They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
field: 43009018
43
9
18
But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
field: 43009019
43
9
19
And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
field: 43009020
43
9
20
His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
field: 43009021
43
9
21
But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
field: 43009022
43
9
22
These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
field: 43009023
43
9
23
Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
field: 43009024
43
9
24
Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
field: 43009025
43
9
25
He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
field: 43009026
43
9
26
Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
field: 43009027
43
9
27
He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
field: 43009028
43
9
28
Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.
field: 43009029
43
9
29
We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.
field: 43009030
43
9
30
The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
field: 43009031
43
9
31
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
field: 43009032
43
9
32
Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
field: 43009033
43
9
33
If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
field: 43009034
43
9
34
They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
field: 43009035
43
9
35
Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
field: 43009036
43
9
36
He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
field: 43009037
43
9
37
And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
field: 43009038
43
9
38
And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
field: 43009039
43
9
39
And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
field: 43009040
43
9
40
And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
field: 43009041
43
9
41
Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
field: 43010001
43
10
1
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
field: 43010002
43
10
2
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
field: 43010003
43
10
3
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
field: 43010004
43
10
4
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
field: 43010005
43
10
5
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
field: 43010006
43
10
6
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
field: 43010007
43
10
7
Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
field: 43010008
43
10
8
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
field: 43010009
43
10
9
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
field: 43010010
43
10
10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
field: 43010011
43
10
11
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
field: 43010012
43
10
12
But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
field: 43010013
43
10
13
The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
field: 43010014
43
10
14
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
field: 43010015
43
10
15
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
field: 43010016
43
10
16
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
field: 43010017
43
10
17
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
field: 43010018
43
10
18
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
field: 43010019
43
10
19
There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
field: 43010020
43
10
20
And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
field: 43010021
43
10
21
Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
field: 43010022
43
10
22
And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
field: 43010023
43
10
23
And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
field: 43010024
43
10
24
Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
field: 43010025
43
10
25
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
field: 43010026
43
10
26
But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
field: 43010027
43
10
27
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
field: 43010028
43
10
28
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
field: 43010029
43
10
29
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
field: 43010030
43
10
30
I and my Father are one.
field: 43010031
43
10
31
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
field: 43010032
43
10
32
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
field: 43010033
43
10
33
The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
field: 43010034
43
10
34
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
field: 43010035
43
10
35
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
field: 43010036
43
10
36
Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
field: 43010037
43
10
37
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
field: 43010038
43
10
38
But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
field: 43010039
43
10
39
Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
field: 43010040
43
10
40
And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.
field: 43010041
43
10
41
And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
field: 43010042
43
10
42
And many believed on him there.
field: 43011001
43
11
1
Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
field: 43011002
43
11
2
(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
field: 43011003
43
11
3
Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
field: 43011004
43
11
4
When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
field: 43011005
43
11
5
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
field: 43011006
43
11
6
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
field: 43011007
43
11
7
Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
field: 43011008
43
11
8
His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
field: 43011009
43
11
9
Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
field: 43011010
43
11
10
But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
field: 43011011
43
11
11
These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
field: 43011012
43
11
12
Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
field: 43011013
43
11
13
Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
field: 43011014
43
11
14
Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
field: 43011015
43
11
15
And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
field: 43011016
43
11
16
Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
field: 43011017
43
11
17
Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
field: 43011018
43
11
18
Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
field: 43011019
43
11
19
And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
field: 43011020
43
11
20
Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
field: 43011021
43
11
21
Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
field: 43011022
43
11
22
But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
field: 43011023
43
11
23
Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
field: 43011024
43
11
24
Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
field: 43011025
43
11
25
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
field: 43011026
43
11
26
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
field: 43011027
43
11
27
She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
field: 43011028
43
11
28
And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
field: 43011029
43
11
29
As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
field: 43011030
43
11
30
Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
field: 43011031
43
11
31
The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.
field: 43011032
43
11
32
Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
field: 43011033
43
11
33
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.
field: 43011034
43
11
34
And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
field: 43011035
43
11
35
Jesus wept.
field: 43011036
43
11
36
Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
field: 43011037
43
11
37
And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
field: 43011038
43
11
38
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
field: 43011039
43
11
39
Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
field: 43011040
43
11
40
Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
field: 43011041
43
11
41
Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
field: 43011042
43
11
42
And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
field: 43011043
43
11
43
And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
field: 43011044
43
11
44
And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
field: 43011045
43
11
45
Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
field: 43011046
43
11
46
But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
field: 43011047
43
11
47
Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
field: 43011048
43
11
48
If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
field: 43011049
43
11
49
And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
field: 43011050
43
11
50
Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
field: 43011051
43
11
51
And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
field: 43011052
43
11
52
And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
field: 43011053
43
11
53
Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.
field: 43011054
43
11
54
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
field: 43011055
43
11
55
And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
field: 43011056
43
11
56
Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
field: 43011057
43
11
57
Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.
field: 43012001
43
12
1
Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
field: 43012002
43
12
2
There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
field: 43012003
43
12
3
Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
field: 43012004
43
12
4
Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
field: 43012005
43
12
5
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
field: 43012006
43
12
6
This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
field: 43012007
43
12
7
Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
field: 43012008
43
12
8
For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
field: 43012009
43
12
9
Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
field: 43012010
43
12
10
But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
field: 43012011
43
12
11
Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
field: 43012012
43
12
12
On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
field: 43012013
43
12
13
Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
field: 43012014
43
12
14
And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
field: 43012015
43
12
15
Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
field: 43012016
43
12
16
These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
field: 43012017
43
12
17
The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
field: 43012018
43
12
18
For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
field: 43012019
43
12
19
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
field: 43012020
43
12
20
And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
field: 43012021
43
12
21
The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
field: 43012022
43
12
22
Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
field: 43012023
43
12
23
And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
field: 43012024
43
12
24
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
field: 43012025
43
12
25
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
field: 43012026
43
12
26
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
field: 43012027
43
12
27
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
field: 43012028
43
12
28
Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
field: 43012029
43
12
29
The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
field: 43012030
43
12
30
Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
field: 43012031
43
12
31
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
field: 43012032
43
12
32
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
field: 43012033
43
12
33
This he said, signifying what death he should die.
field: 43012034
43
12
34
The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
field: 43012035
43
12
35
Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
field: 43012036
43
12
36
While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
field: 43012037
43
12
37
But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
field: 43012038
43
12
38
That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
field: 43012039
43
12
39
Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
field: 43012040
43
12
40
He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
field: 43012041
43
12
41
These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
field: 43012042
43
12
42
Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
field: 43012043
43
12
43
For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
field: 43012044
43
12
44
Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
field: 43012045
43
12
45
And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
field: 43012046
43
12
46
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
field: 43012047
43
12
47
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
field: 43012048
43
12
48
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
field: 43012049
43
12
49
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
field: 43012050
43
12
50
And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
field: 43013001
43
13
1
Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
field: 43013002
43
13
2
And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;
field: 43013003
43
13
3
Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
field: 43013004
43
13
4
He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
field: 43013005
43
13
5
After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
field: 43013006
43
13
6
Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
field: 43013007
43
13
7
Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
field: 43013008
43
13
8
Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
field: 43013009
43
13
9
Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
field: 43013010
43
13
10
Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
field: 43013011
43
13
11
For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
field: 43013012
43
13
12
So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
field: 43013013
43
13
13
Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
field: 43013014
43
13
14
If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
field: 43013015
43
13
15
For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
field: 43013016
43
13
16
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
field: 43013017
43
13
17
If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
field: 43013018
43
13
18
I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.
field: 43013019
43
13
19
Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.
field: 43013020
43
13
20
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
field: 43013021
43
13
21
When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
field: 43013022
43
13
22
Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
field: 43013023
43
13
23
Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
field: 43013024
43
13
24
Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.
field: 43013025
43
13
25
He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
field: 43013026
43
13
26
Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
field: 43013027
43
13
27
And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
field: 43013028
43
13
28
Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.
field: 43013029
43
13
29
For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.
field: 43013030
43
13
30
He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
field: 43013031
43
13
31
Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
field: 43013032
43
13
32
If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
field: 43013033
43
13
33
Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.
field: 43013034
43
13
34
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
field: 43013035
43
13
35
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
field: 43013036
43
13
36
Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.
field: 43013037
43
13
37
Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.
field: 43013038
43
13
38
Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.
field: 43014001
43
14
1
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
field: 43014002
43
14
2
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
field: 43014003
43
14
3
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
field: 43014004
43
14
4
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
field: 43014005
43
14
5
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
field: 43014006
43
14
6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
field: 43014007
43
14
7
If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
field: 43014008
43
14
8
Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
field: 43014009
43
14
9
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
field: 43014010
43
14
10
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
field: 43014011
43
14
11
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
field: 43014012
43
14
12
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
field: 43014013
43
14
13
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
field: 43014014
43
14
14
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
field: 43014015
43
14
15
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
field: 43014016
43
14
16
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
field: 43014017
43
14
17
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
field: 43014018
43
14
18
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
field: 43014019
43
14
19
Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
field: 43014020
43
14
20
At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
field: 43014021
43
14
21
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
field: 43014022
43
14
22
Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
field: 43014023
43
14
23
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
field: 43014024
43
14
24
He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
field: 43014025
43
14
25
These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
field: 43014026
43
14
26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
field: 43014027
43
14
27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
field: 43014028
43
14
28
Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
field: 43014029
43
14
29
And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
field: 43014030
43
14
30
Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
field: 43014031
43
14
31
But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
field: 43015001
43
15
1
I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
field: 43015002
43
15
2
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
field: 43015003
43
15
3
Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
field: 43015004
43
15
4
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
field: 43015005
43
15
5
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
field: 43015006
43
15
6
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
field: 43015007
43
15
7
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
field: 43015008
43
15
8
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
field: 43015009
43
15
9
As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
field: 43015010
43
15
10
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
field: 43015011
43
15
11
These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
field: 43015012
43
15
12
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
field: 43015013
43
15
13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
field: 43015014
43
15
14
Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
field: 43015015
43
15
15
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
field: 43015016
43
15
16
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
field: 43015017
43
15
17
These things I command you, that ye love one another.
field: 43015018
43
15
18
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
field: 43015019
43
15
19
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
field: 43015020
43
15
20
Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
field: 43015021
43
15
21
But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
field: 43015022

If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
field: 43015023
43
15
23
He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
field: 43015024
43
15
24
If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
field: 43015025
43
15
25
But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
field: 43015026
43
15
26
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
field: 43015027
43
15
27
And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
field: 43016001
43
16
1
These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
field: 43016002
43
16
2
They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
field: 43016003
43
16
3
And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
field: 43016004
43
16
4
But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
field: 43016005
43
16
5
But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
field: 43016006
43
16
6
But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
field: 43016007
43
16
7
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
field: 43016008
43
16
8
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
field: 43016009
43
16
9
Of sin, because they believe not on me;
field: 43016010
43
16
10
Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
field: 43016011
43
16
11
Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
field: 43016012
43
16
12
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
field: 43016013
43
16
13
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
field: 43016014
43
16
14
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
field: 43016015
43
16
15
All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
field: 43016016
43
16
16
A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
field: 43016017
43
16
17
Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?
field: 43016018
43
16
18
They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.
field: 43016019
43
16
19
Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?
field: 43016020
43
16
20
Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
field: 43016021
43
16
21
A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
field: 43016022
43
16
22
And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
field: 43016023
43
16
23
And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
field: 43016024
43
16
24
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
field: 43016025
43
16
25
These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.
field: 43016026
43
16
26
At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:
field: 43016027
43
16
27
For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
field: 43016028
43
16
28
I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
field: 43016029
43
16
29
His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
field: 43016030
43
16
30
Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
field: 43016031
43
16
31
Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
field: 43016032
43
16
32
Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
field: 43016033
43
16
33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
field: 43017001
43

1
These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
field: 43017002
43
17
2
As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
field: 43017003
43
17
3
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
field: 43017004
43
17
4
I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
field: 43017005
43
17
5
And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
field: 43017006
43
17
6
I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
field: 43017007
43
17
7
Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
field: 43017008
43
17
8
For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
field: 43017009
43
17
9
I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
field: 43017010
43
17
10
And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
field: 43017011
43
17
11
And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
field: 43017012
43
17
12
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
field: 43017013
43
17
13
And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
field: 43017014
43
17
14
I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
field: 43017015
43
17
15
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
field: 43017016
43
17
16
They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
field: 43017017
43
17
17
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
field: 43017018
43
17
18
As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
field: 43017019
43
17
19
And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
field: 43017020
43
17
20
Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
field: 43017021
43
17
21
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
field: 43017022
43
17
22
And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
field: 43017023
43
17
23
I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
field: 43017024
43
17
24
Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
field: 43017025
43
17
25
O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
field: 43017026
43
17
26
And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
field: 43018001

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.
field: 43018002
43
18
2
And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
field: 43018003
43
18
3
Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
field: 43018004
43
18
4
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
field: 43018005
43
18
5
They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
field: 43018006
43
18
6
As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
field: 43018007
43
18
7
Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
field: 43018008
43
18
8
Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
field: 43018009
43
18
9
That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
field: 43018010
43
18
10
Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
field: 43018011
43
18
11
Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
field: 43018012
43
18
12
Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
field: 43018013
43
18
13
And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
field: 43018014
43
18
14
Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
field: 43018015
43
18
15
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
field: 43018016
43
18
16
But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
field: 43018017
43
18
17
Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.
field: 43018018
43
18
18
And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
field: 43018019
43
18
19
The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
field: 43018020
43
18
20
Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
field: 43018021
43
18
21
Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
field: 43018022
43
18
22
And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
field: 43018023
43
18
23
Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
field: 43018024
43
18
24
Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
field: 43018025
43
18
25
And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
field: 43018026
43
18
26
One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
field: 43018027
43
18
27
Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
field: 43018028
43
18
28
Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
field: 43018029
43
18
29
Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
field: 43018030
43
18
30
They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.
field: 43018031
43
18
31
Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
field: 43018032
43
18
32
That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.
field: 43018033
43
18
33
Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
field: 43018034
43
18
34
Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
field: 43018035
43
18
35
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
field: 43018036
43
18
36
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
field: 43018037
43
18
37
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
field: 43018038
43
18
38
Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
field: 43018039
43
18
39
But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
field: 43018040
43
18
40
Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
field: 43019001
43
19
1
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
field: 43019002
43
19
2
And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
field: 43019003
43
19
3
And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
field: 43019004
43
19
4
Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
field: 43019005
43
19
5
Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
field: 43019006
43
19
6
When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
field: 43019007
43
19
7
The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
field: 43019008
43
19
8
When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
field: 43019009
43
19
9
And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
field: 43019010
43
19
10
Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
field: 43019011
43
19
11
Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
field: 43019012
43
19
12
And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
field: 43019013
43
19
13
When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
field: 43019014
43
19
14
And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
field: 43019015
43
19
15
But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
field: 43019016
43
19
16
Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
field: 43019017
43
19
17
And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
field: 43019018
43
19
18
Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
field: 43019019
43
19
19
And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
field: 43019020
43
19
20
This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
field: 43019021
43
19
21
Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
field: 43019022
43
19
22
Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
field: 43019023
43
19
23
Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
field: 43019024
43
19
24
They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
field: 43019025
43
19
25
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
field: 43019026
43
19
26
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
field: 43019027
43
19
27
Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
field: 43019028
43
19
28
After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
field: 43019029
43
19
29
Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
field: 43019030
43
19
30
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
field: 43019031
43
19
31
The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
field: 43019032
43
19
32
Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
field: 43019033
43
19
33
But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
field: 43019034
43
19
34
But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
field: 43019035
43

For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
field: 43019037

37
And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

38
And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
field: 43019039
43

39
And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
field: 43019040
43
19
40
Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
field: 43019041
43

41
Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
field: 43019042
43
19
42
There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
field: 43020001

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.
field: 43020002
43
20
2
Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the LORD out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
field: 43020003
43
20
3
Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
field: 43020004
43
20
4
So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
field: 43020005
43
20
5
And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
field: 43020006
43
20
6
Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
field: 43020007
43
20
7
And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
field: 43020008
43
20
8
Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
field: 43020009
43
20
9
For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
field: 43020010
43
20
10
Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
field: 43020011
43
20
11
But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
field: 43020012
43
20
12
And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
field: 43020013
43
20
13
And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my LORD, and I know not where they have laid him.
field: 43020014
43
20
14
And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
field: 43020015
43
20
15
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
field: 43020016
43
20
16
Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
field: 43020017
43
20
17
Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
field: 43020018
43

Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
field: 43020019
43
20
19
Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
field: 43020020
43
20
20
And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD.
field: 43020021
43
20
21
Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
field: 43020022
43
20
22
And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
field: 43020023
43
20
23
Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
field: 43020024
43
20
24
But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
field: 43020025
43
20
25
The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the LORD. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
field: 43020026
43
20
26
And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
field: 43020027
43
20
27
Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
field: 43020028
43
20
28
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.
field: 43020029
43
20
29
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
field: 43020030
43
20
30
And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
field: 43020031
43
20
31
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
field: 43021001
43
21
1
After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.
field: 43021002
43
21
2
There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
field: 43021003
43
21
3
Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
field: 43021004
43
21
4
But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
field: 43021005
43
21
5
Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.
field: 43021006
43
21
6
And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
field: 43021007
43
21
7
Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
field: 43021008
43
21
8
And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.
field: 43021009
43
21
9
As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
field: 43021010
43
21
10
Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
field: 43021011
43
21
11
Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.
field: 43021012
43
21
12
Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
field: 43021013
43
21
13
Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.
field: 43021014
43
21
14
This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
field: 43021015
43
21
15
So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
field: 43021016
43
21
16
He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
field: 43021017
43
21
17
He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
field: 43021018
43
21
18
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.
field: 43021019
43
21
19
This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
field: 43021020
43
21
20
Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?
field: 43021021
43
21
21
Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
field: 43021022
43
21
22
Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.
field: 43021023
43
21
23
Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
field: 43021024
43
21
24
This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
field: 43021025
43
21
25
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

44

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:
field: 44001003
44
1
3
To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
field: 44001004
44

4
And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
field: 44001007
44
1
7
And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
field: 44001008
44
1
8
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
field: 44001010
44

10
And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

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.

Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.

And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
field: 44001014
44

14
These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
field: 44001015
44

15
And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)

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.
field: 44001017

For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
field: 44001020

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.

Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.

And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
field: 44001024
44
1
24
And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,

25
That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.

And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
field: 44002002

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
field: 44002003
44
2
3
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
field: 44002004
44
2
4
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
field: 44002005

And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
field: 44002006

Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
field: 44002007

And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?

And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,

Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
field: 44002013
44
2
13
Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
field: 44002014

14
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
field: 44002015
44

15
For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
field: 44002017
44
2
17
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
field: 44002018
44
2
18
And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
field: 44002019
44
2
19
And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
field: 44002020
44
2
20
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:
field: 44002021
44
2
21
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
field: 44002022
44
2
22
Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
field: 44002023
44
2
23
Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
field: 44002024
44
2
24
Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
field: 44002025
44
2
25
For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
field: 44002026
44
2
26
Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
field: 44002027
44
2
27
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
field: 44002028
44
2
28
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
field: 44002029
44
2
29
Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
field: 44002030
44
2
30
Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
field: 44002031
44
2
31
He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
field: 44002032
44
2
32
This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
field: 44002033
44
2
33
Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
field: 44002034
44
2
34
For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
field: 44002035
44
2
35
Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
field: 44002036
44
2
36
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
field: 44002037
44
2
37
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
field: 44002038
44
2
38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
field: 44002039
44
2
39
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.
field: 44002040
44
2
40
And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
field: 44002041
44
2
41
Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
field: 44002042
44
2
42
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
field: 44002043
44
2
43
And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
field: 44002044
44
2
44
And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
field: 44002045
44
2
45
And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
field: 44002046
44
2
46
And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
field: 44002047
44
2
47
Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
field: 44003002

And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
field: 44003004
44
3
4
And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
field: 44003005
44
3
5
And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
field: 44003006
44
3
6
Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
field: 44003007
44
3
7
And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
field: 44003008
44
3
8
And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
field: 44003009
44
3
9
And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
field: 44003010
44
3
10
And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
field: 44003011
44
3
11
And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
field: 44003012
44
3
12
And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
field: 44003013
44
3
13
The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
field: 44003014
44
3
14
But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
field: 44003015
44
3
15
And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
field: 44003016
44
3
16
And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
field: 44003017
44
3
17
And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.
field: 44003018
44
3
18
But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
field: 44003019
44
3
19
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
field: 44003020
44
3
20
And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
field: 44003021
44
3
21
Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
field: 44003022
44
3
22
For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
field: 44003023
44
3
23
And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
field: 44003024
44
3
24
Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
field: 44003025
44
3
25
Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
field: 44003026
44
3
26
Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
field: 44004001
44
4
1
And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
field: 44004002
44
4
2
Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
field: 44004003
44
4
3
And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.
field: 44004004
44
4
4
Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
field: 44004005
44
4
5
And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,
field: 44004006
44
4
6
And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
field: 44004007
44
4
7
And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?
field: 44004008
44
4
8
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
field: 44004009
44
4
9
If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
field: 44004010
44
4
10
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
field: 44004011
44
4
11
This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
field: 44004012
44
4
12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
field: 44004013
44
4
13
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
field: 44004014
44
4
14
And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
field: 44004015
44
4
15
But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
field: 44004016
44
4
16
Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
field: 44004017
44
4
17
But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.
field: 44004018
44
4
18
And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
field: 44004019
44
4
19
But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
field: 44004020
44
4
20
For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
field: 44004021
44
4
21
So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.
field: 44004022
44
4
22
For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.
field: 44004023
44
4
23
And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.
field: 44004024
44
4
24
And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
field: 44004025
44
4
25
Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
field: 44004026
44
4
26
The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
field: 44004027
44
4
27
For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
field: 44004028
44
4
28
For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.
field: 44004029
44
4
29
And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
field: 44004030
44
4
30
By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
field: 44004031
44
4
31
And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
field: 44004032
44
4
32
And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
field: 44004033
44
4
33
And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
field: 44004034
44
4
34
Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
field: 44004035
44
4
35
And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
field: 44004036
44
4
36
And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
field: 44004037
44
4
37
Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
field: 44005001
44
5
1
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
field: 44005002
44
5
2
And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
field: 44005003
44
5
3
But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
field: 44005004
44
5
4
Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
field: 44005005
44
5
5
And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
field: 44005006
44
5
6
And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
field: 44005007
44
5
7
And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
field: 44005008
44
5
8
And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
field: 44005009
44
5
9
Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
field: 44005010
44
5
10
Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
field: 44005011
44
5
11
And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
field: 44005012
44
5
12
And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
field: 44005013
44
5
13
And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
field: 44005014
44
5
14
And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
field: 44005015
44
5
15
Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
field: 44005016
44
5
16
There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
field: 44005017
44
5
17
Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,
field: 44005018
44
5
18
And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
field: 44005019
44
5
19
But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
field: 44005020
44
5
20
Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
field: 44005021
44
5
21
And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
field: 44005022
44
5
22
But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and told,
field: 44005023
44
5
23
Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
field: 44005024
44
5
24
Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.
field: 44005025
44
5
25
Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
field: 44005026
44
5
26
Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
field: 44005027
44
5
27
And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
field: 44005028
44
5
28
Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
field: 44005029
44
5
29
Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
field: 44005030
44
5
30
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
field: 44005031
44
5
31
Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
field: 44005032
44
5
32
And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
field: 44005033
44
5
33
When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.
field: 44005034
44
5
34
Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
field: 44005035
44
5
35
And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
field: 44005036
44
5
36
For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
field: 44005037
44
5
37
After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
field: 44005038
44
5
38
And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
field: 44005039
44
5
39
But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
field: 44005040
44
5
40
And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
field: 44005041
44
5
41
And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
field: 44005042
44
5
42
And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
field: 44006001
44
6
1
And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
field: 44006002
44
6
2
Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
field: 44006003
44
6
3
Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
field: 44006004
44
6
4
But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
field: 44006005
44
6
5
And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
field: 44006006
44
6
6
Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
field: 44006007
44
6
7
And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
field: 44006008
44
6
8
And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
field: 44006009
44
6
9
Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.
field: 44006010
44
6
10
And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.
field: 44006011
44
6
11
Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.
field: 44006012
44
6
12
And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,
field: 44006013
44
6
13
And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
field: 44006014
44
6
14
For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.
field: 44006015
44
6
15
And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
field: 44007001
44
7
1
Then said the high priest, Are these things so?
field: 44007002
44
7
2
And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,
field: 44007003
44
7
3
And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
field: 44007004
44
7
4
Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.
field: 44007005
44
7
5
And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.
field: 44007006
44
7
6
And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years.
field: 44007007
44
7
7
And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.
field: 44007008
44
7
8
And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.
field: 44007009
44
7
9
And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
field: 44007010
44
7
10
And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
field: 44007011
44
7
11
Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
field: 44007012
44
7
12
But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.
field: 44007013
44
7
13
And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.
field: 44007014
44
7
14
Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
field: 44007015
44
7
15
So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
field: 44007016
44
7
16
And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem.
field: 44007017
44
7
17
But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
field: 44007018
44
7
18
Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
field: 44007019
44
7
19
The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.
field: 44007020
44
7
20
In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months:
field: 44007021
44
7
21
And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
field: 44007022
44
7
22
And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
field: 44007023
44
7
23
And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
field: 44007024
44
7
24
And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
field: 44007025
44
7
25
For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
field: 44007026
44
7
26
And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?
field: 44007027
44
7
27
But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
field: 44007028
44
7
28
Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
field: 44007029
44
7
29
Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.
field: 44007030
44
7
30
And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.
field: 44007031
44
7
31
When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the LORD came unto him,
field: 44007032
44
7
32
Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.
field: 44007033
44
7
33
Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
field: 44007034
44
7
34
I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.
field: 44007035
44
7
35
This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.
field: 44007036
44
7
36
He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
field: 44007037
44
7
37
This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.
field: 44007038
44
7
38
This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:
field: 44007039
44
7
39
To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
field: 44007040
44
7
40
Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
field: 44007041
44
7
41
And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
field: 44007042
44
7
42
Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?
field: 44007043
44
7
43
Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
field: 44007044
44
7
44
Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.
field: 44007045
44
7
45
Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;
field: 44007046
44
7
46
Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
field: 44007047
44
7
47
But Solomon built him an house.
field: 44007048
44
7
48
Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
field: 44007049
44
7
49
Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
field: 44007050
44
7
50
Hath not my hand made all these things?
field: 44007051
44
7
51
Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
field: 44007052
44
7
52
Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
field: 44007053
44
7
53
Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
field: 44007054
44
7
54
When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
field: 44007055
44
7
55
But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
field: 44007056
44
7
56
And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
field: 44007057
44
7
57
Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
field: 44007058
44
7
58
And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.
field: 44007059
44
7
59
And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
field: 44007060
44
7
60
And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
field: 44008001
44
8
1
And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
field: 44008002
44
8
2
And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
field: 44008003
44
8
3
As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
field: 44008004
44
8
4
Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
field: 44008005
44
8
5
Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
field: 44008006
44
8
6
And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
field: 44008007
44
8
7
For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
field: 44008008
44
8
8
And there was great joy in that city.
field: 44008009
44
8
9
But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
field: 44008010
44
8
10
To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
field: 44008011
44
8
11
And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
field: 44008012
44
8
12
But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
field: 44008013
44
8
13
Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
field: 44008014
44
8
14
Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
field: 44008015
44
8
15
Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
field: 44008016
44
8
16
(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
field: 44008017
44
8
17
Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
field: 44008018
44
8
18
And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
field: 44008019
44
8
19
Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
field: 44008020
44
8
20
But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
field: 44008021
44
8
21
Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
field: 44008022
44
8
22
Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
field: 44008023
44
8
23
For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
field: 44008024
44
8
24
Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the LORD for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
field: 44008025
44
8
25
And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
field: 44008026
44
8
26
And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
field: 44008027
44
8
27
And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
field: 44008028
44
8
28
Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
field: 44008029
44
8
29
Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
field: 44008030
44
8
30
And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
field: 44008031
44
8
31
And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
field: 44008032
44
8
32
The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
field: 44008033
44
8
33
In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
field: 44008034
44
8
34
And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
field: 44008035
44
8
35
Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
field: 44008036
44
8
36
And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
field: 44008037
44
8
37
And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
field: 44008038
44
8
38
And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
field: 44008039
44
8
39
And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
field: 44008040
44
8
40
But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
field: 44009001
44
9
1
And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
field: 44009002
44
9
2
And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
field: 44009003
44
9
3
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
field: 44009004
44
9
4
And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
field: 44009005
44
9
5
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
field: 44009006
44
9
6
And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
field: 44009007
44
9
7
And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
field: 44009008
44
9
8
And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
field: 44009009
44
9
9
And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
field: 44009010
44
9
10
And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
field: 44009011
44
9
11
And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
field: 44009012
44
9
12
And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
field: 44009013
44
9
13
Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
field: 44009014
44
9
14
And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
field: 44009015
44
9
15
But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
field: 44009016
44
9
16
For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
field: 44009017
44
9
17
And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
field: 44009018
44
9
18
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
field: 44009019
44
9
19
And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
field: 44009020
44
9
20
And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
field: 44009021
44
9
21
But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
field: 44009022
44
9
22
But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
field: 44009023
44
9
23
And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:
field: 44009024
44
9
24
But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
field: 44009025
44
9
25
Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.
field: 44009026
44
9
26
And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
field: 44009027
44
9
27
But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
field: 44009028
44
9
28
And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
field: 44009029
44
9
29
And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
field: 44009030
44
9
30
Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
field: 44009031
44
9
31
Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
field: 44009032
44
9
32
And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
field: 44009033
44
9
33
And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
field: 44009034
44
9
34
And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
field: 44009035
44
9
35
And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
field: 44009036
44
9
36
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
field: 44009037
44
9
37
And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
field: 44009038
44
9
38
And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
field: 44009039
44
9
39
Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
field: 44009040
44
9
40
But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
field: 44009041
44
9
41
And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
field: 44009042
44
9
42
And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
field: 44009043
44
9
43
And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
field: 44010001
44
10
1
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
field: 44010002
44
10
2
A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
field: 44010003
44
10
3
He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
field: 44010004
44
10
4
And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
field: 44010005
44
10
5
And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:
field: 44010006
44
10
6
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
field: 44010007
44
10
7
And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
field: 44010008
44
10
8
And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
field: 44010009
44
10
9
On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
field: 44010010
44
10
10
And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
field: 44010011
44
10
11
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:
field: 44010012
44
10
12
Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
field: 44010013
44
10
13
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
field: 44010014
44
10
14
But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
field: 44010015
44
10
15
And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
field: 44010016
44
10
16
This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
field: 44010017
44
10
17
Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,
field: 44010018
44
10
18
And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
field: 44010019
44
10
19
While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
field: 44010020
44
10
20
Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
field: 44010021
44
10
21
Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
field: 44010022
44
10
22
And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
field: 44010023
44
10
23
Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
field: 44010024
44
10
24
And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and he had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
field: 44010025
44
10
25
And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
field: 44010026
44
10
26
But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
field: 44010027
44
10
27
And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
field: 44010028
44
10
28
And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
field: 44010029
44
10
29
Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
field: 44010030
44
10
30
And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
field: 44010031
44
10
31
And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
field: 44010032
44
10
32
Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
field: 44010033
44
10
33
Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
field: 44010034
44
10
34
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
field: 44010035
44
10
35
But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
field: 44010036
44
10
36
The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
field: 44010037
44
10
37
That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
field: 44010038
44
10
38
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
field: 44010039
44
10
39
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
field: 44010040
44
10
40
Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
field: 44010041
44
10
41
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.
field: 44010042
44
10
42
And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
field: 44010043
44
10
43
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
field: 44010044
44
10
44
While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
field: 44010045
44
10
45
And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
field: 44010046
44
10
46
For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
field: 44010047
44
10
47
Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
field: 44010048
44
10
48
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
field: 44011001
44
11
1
And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
field: 44011002
44
11
2
And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
field: 44011003
44
11
3
Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.
field: 44011004
44
11
4
But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,
field: 44011005
44
11
5
I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:
field: 44011006
44
11
6
Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
field: 44011007
44
11
7
And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
field: 44011008
44
11
8
But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
field: 44011009
44
11
9
But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
field: 44011010
44
11
10
And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
field: 44011011
44
11
11
And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.
field: 44011012
44
11
12
And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:
field: 44011013
44
11
13
And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;
field: 44011014
44
11
14
Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
field: 44011015
44
11
15
And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
field: 44011016
44
11
16
Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
field: 44011017
44
11
17
Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
field: 44011018
44
11
18
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
field: 44011019
44
11
19
Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.
field: 44011020
44
11
20
And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the LORD Jesus.
field: 44011021
44
11
21
And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
field: 44011022
44
11
22
Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
field: 44011023
44
11
23
Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
field: 44011024
44
11
24
For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
field: 44011025
44
11
25
Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
field: 44011026
44
11
26
And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
field: 44011027
44
11
27
And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
field: 44011028
44
11
28
And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.
field: 44011029
44
11
29
Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:
field: 44011030
44
11
30
Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
field: 44012001
44
12
1
Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
field: 44012002
44
12
2
And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
field: 44012003
44
12
3
And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
field: 44012004
44
12
4
And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
field: 44012005
44
12
5
Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
field: 44012006
44
12
6
And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
field: 44012007
44
12
7
And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
field: 44012008
44
12
8
And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
field: 44012009
44
12
9
And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
field: 44012010
44
12
10
When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
field: 44012011
44
12
11
And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the LORD hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
field: 44012012
44
12
12
And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
field: 44012013
44
12
13
And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
field: 44012014
44
12
14
And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
field: 44012015
44
12
15
And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
field: 44012016
44
12
16
But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.
field: 44012017
44
12
17
But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
field: 44012018
44
12
18
Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
field: 44012019
44
12
19
And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.
field: 44012020
44
12
20
And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king's country.
field: 44012021
44
12
21
And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
field: 44012022
44
12
22
And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
field: 44012023
44
12
23
And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
field: 44012024
44
12
24
But the word of God grew and multiplied.
field: 44012025
44
12
25
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
field: 44013001
44
13
1
Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
field: 44013002
44
13
2
As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
field: 44013003
44
13
3
And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
field: 44013004
44
13
4
So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
field: 44013005
44
13
5
And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.
field: 44013006
44
13
6
And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:
field: 44013007
44
13
7
Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
field: 44013008
44
13
8
But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
field: 44013009
44
13
9
Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him.
field: 44013010
44
13
10
And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
field: 44013011
44
13
11
And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
field: 44013012
44
13
12
Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
field: 44013013
44
13
13
Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
field: 44013014
44
13
14
But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
field: 44013015
44
13
15
And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
field: 44013016
44
13
16
Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
field: 44013017
44
13
17
The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.
field: 44013018
44
13
18
And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
field: 44013019
44
13
19
And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
field: 44013020
44
13
20
And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
field: 44013021
44
13
21
And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
field: 44013022
44
13
22
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.
field: 44013023
44
13
23
Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
field: 44013024
44
13
24
When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
field: 44013025
44
13
25
And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
field: 44013026
44
13
26
Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
field: 44013027
44
13
27
For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
field: 44013028
44
13
28
And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
field: 44013029
44
13
29
And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.
field: 44013030
44
13
30
But God raised him from the dead:
field: 44013031
44
13
31
And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
field: 44013032
44
13
32
And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
field: 44013033
44
13
33
God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
field: 44013034
44
13
34
And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
field: 44013035
44
13
35
Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
field: 44013036
44
13
36
For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
field: 44013037
44
13
37
But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
field: 44013038
44
13
38
Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
field: 44013039
44
13
39
And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
field: 44013040
44
13
40
Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
field: 44013041
44
13
41
Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.
field: 44013042
44
13
42
And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
field: 44013043
44
13
43
Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
field: 44013044
44
13
44
And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
field: 44013045
44
13
45
But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
field: 44013046
44
13
46
Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
field: 44013047
44
13
47
For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
field: 44013048
44
13
48
And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
field: 44013049
44
13
49
And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
field: 44013050
44
13
50
But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
field: 44013051
44
13
51
But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
field: 44013052
44
13
52
And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
field: 44014001
44
14
1
And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.
field: 44014002
44
14
2
But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.
field: 44014003
44
14
3
Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
field: 44014004
44
14
4
But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
field: 44014005
44
14
5
And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,
field: 44014006
44
14
6
They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:
field: 44014007
44
14
7
And there they preached the gospel.
field: 44014008
44
14
8
And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:
field: 44014009
44
14
9
The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
field: 44014010
44
14
10
Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
field: 44014011
44
14
11
And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.
field: 44014012
44
14
12
And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
field: 44014013
44
14
13
Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
field: 44014014
44
14
14
Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
field: 44014015
44
14
15
And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
field: 44014016
44
14
16
Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
field: 44014017
44
14
17
Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
field: 44014018
44
14
18
And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.
field: 44014019
44
14
19
And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.
field: 44014020
44
14
20
Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
field: 44014021
44
14
21
And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,
field: 44014022
44
14
22
Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
field: 44014023
44
14
23
And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
field: 44014024
44
14
24
And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
field: 44014025
44
14
25
And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:
field: 44014026
44
14
26
And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.
field: 44014027
44
14
27
And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
field: 44014028
44
14
28
And there they abode long time with the disciples.
field: 44015001
44
15
1
And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
field: 44015002
44
15
2
When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
field: 44015003
44
15
3
And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
field: 44015004
44
15
4
And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
field: 44015005
44
15
5
But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
field: 44015006
44
15
6
And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
field: 44015007
44
15
7
And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
field: 44015008
44
15
8
And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
field: 44015009
44
15
9
And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
field: 44015010
44
15
10
Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
field: 44015011
44
15
11
But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
field: 44015012
44
15
12
Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
field: 44015013
44
15
13
And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
field: 44015014
44
15
14
Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
field: 44015015
44
15
15
And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
field: 44015016
44
15
16
After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
field: 44015017
44
15
17
That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
field: 44015018
44
15
18
Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
field: 44015019
44
15
19
Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
field: 44015020
44
15
20
But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
field: 44015021
44
15
21
For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
field: 44015022
44
15
22
Then pleased it the apostles and elders with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
field: 44015023
44
15
23
And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia.
field: 44015024
44
15
24
Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
field: 44015025
44
15
25
It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
field: 44015026
44
15
26
Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
field: 44015027
44
15
27
We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
field: 44015028
44
15
28
For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
field: 44015029
44
15
29
That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
field: 44015030
44
15
30
So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:
field: 44015031
44
15
31
Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
field: 44015032
44
15
32
And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
field: 44015033
44
15
33
And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.
field: 44015034
44
15
34
Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.
field: 44015035
44
15
35
Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
field: 44015036
44
15
36
And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the LORD, and see how they do.
field: 44015037
44
15
37
And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
field: 44015038
44
15
38
But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
field: 44015039
44
15
39
And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
field: 44015040
44
15
40
And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.
field: 44015041
44
15
41
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
field: 44016001
44
16
1
Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
field: 44016002
44
16
2
Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
field: 44016003
44
16
3
Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
field: 44016004
44
16
4
And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.
field: 44016005
44
16
5
And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
field: 44016006
44
16
6
Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
field: 44016007
44
16
7
After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
field: 44016008
44
16
8
And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
field: 44016009
44
16
9
And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
field: 44016010
44
16
10
And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
field: 44016011
44
16
11
Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;
field: 44016012
44
16
12
And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.
field: 44016013
44
16
13
And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.
field: 44016014
44
16
14
And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
field: 44016015
44
16
15
And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
field: 44016016
44
16
16
And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
field: 44016017
44
16
17
The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
field: 44016018
44
16
18
And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
field: 44016019
44
16
19
And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,
field: 44016020
44
16
20
And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
field: 44016021
44
16
21
And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
field: 44016022
44
16
22
And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.
field: 44016023
44
16
23
And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
field: 44016024
44
16
24
Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
field: 44016025
44
16
25
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
field: 44016026
44
16
26
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
field: 44016027
44
16
27
And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
field: 44016028
44
16
28
But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
field: 44016029
44
16
29
Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
field: 44016030
44
16
30
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
field: 44016031
44
16
31
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
field: 44016032
44
16
32
And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
field: 44016033
44
16
33
And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
field: 44016034
44
16
34
And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
field: 44016035
44
16
35
And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
field: 44016036
44
16
36
And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
field: 44016037
44
16
37
But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
field: 44016038
44
16
38
And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
field: 44016039
44
16
39
And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.
field: 44016040
44
16
40
And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
field: 44017001
44
17
1
Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
field: 44017002
44
17
2
And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
field: 44017003
44
17
3
Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.
field: 44017004
44
17
4
And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
field: 44017005
44
17
5
But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
field: 44017006
44
17
6
And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;
field: 44017007
44
17
7
Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
field: 44017008
44
17
8
And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
field: 44017009
44
17
9
And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go.
field: 44017010
44
17
10
And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
field: 44017011
44
17
11
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
field: 44017012
44
17
12
Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
field: 44017013
44
17
13
But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.
field: 44017014
44
17
14
And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
field: 44017015
44
17
15
And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.
field: 44017016
44
17
16
Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
field: 44017017
44
17
17
Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.
field: 44017018
44
17
18
Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.
field: 44017019
44
17
19
And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?
field: 44017020
44
17
20
For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.
field: 44017021
44
17
21
(For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)
field: 44017022
44
17
22
Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
field: 44017023
44
17
23
For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
field: 44017024
44
17
24
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
field: 44017025
44
17
25
Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
field: 44017026
44
17
26
And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
field: 44017027
44
17
27
That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
field: 44017028
44
17
28
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
field: 44017029
44
17
29
Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
field: 44017030
44
17
30
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
field: 44017031
44
17
31
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
field: 44017032
44
17
32
And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.
field: 44017033
44
17
33
So Paul departed from among them.
field: 44017034
44
17
34
Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
field: 44018001
44
18
1
After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
field: 44018002
44
18
2
And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.
field: 44018003
44
18
3
And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
field: 44018004
44
18
4
And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
field: 44018005
44
18
5
And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.
field: 44018006
44
18
6
And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean; from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
field: 44018007
44
18
7
And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
field: 44018008
44
18
8
And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.

Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
field: 44018010
44
18
10
For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
field: 44018011
44
18
11
And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
field: 44018012
44
18
12
And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
field: 44018013
44
18
13
Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
field: 44018014
44
18
14
And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
field: 44018015
44
18
15
But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.
field: 44018016
44
18
16
And he drave them from the judgment seat.
field: 44018017
44
18
17
Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.
field: 44018018
44
18
18
And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
field: 44018019
44
18
19
And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
field: 44018020
44
18
20
When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
field: 44018021
44
18
21
But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
field: 44018022
44
18
22
And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
field: 44018023
44
18
23
And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
field: 44018024
44
18
24
And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
field: 44018025
44
18
25
This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
field: 44018026
44
18
26
And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
field: 44018027
44
18
27
And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:
field: 44018028
44
18
28
For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
field: 44019001
44
19
1
And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
field: 44019002
44
19
2
He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
field: 44019003
44
19
3
And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
field: 44019004
44
19
4
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
field: 44019005
44
19
5
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
field: 44019006
44
19
6
And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
field: 44019007
44
19
7
And all the men were about twelve.
field: 44019008
44
19
8
And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
field: 44019009
44
19
9
But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
field: 44019010
44
19
10
And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
field: 44019011
44
19
11
And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
field: 44019012
44
19
12
So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
field: 44019013
44
19
13
Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
field: 44019014
44
19
14
And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
field: 44019015
44
19
15
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
field: 44019016
44
19
16
And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
field: 44019017
44
19
17
And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
field: 44019018
44
19
18
And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.
field: 44019019
44
19
19
Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
field: 44019020
44
19
20
So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
field: 44019021
44
19
21
After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
field: 44019022
44
19
22
So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
field: 44019023
44
19
23
And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.
field: 44019024
44
19
24
For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;
field: 44019025
44
19
25
Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.
field: 44019026
44
19
26
Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:
field: 44019027
44
19
27
So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
field: 44019028
44
19
28
And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
field: 44019029
44
19
29
And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.
field: 44019030
44
19
30
And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.
field: 44019031
44
19
31
And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.
field: 44019032
44
19
32
Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused: and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.
field: 44019033
44
19
33
And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people.
field: 44019034
44
19
34
But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
field: 44019035
44
19
35
And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
field: 44019036
44
19
36
Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
field: 44019037
44
19
37
For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
field: 44019038
44
19
38
Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another.
field: 44019039
44
19
39
But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.
field: 44019040
44
19
40
For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse.
field: 44019041
44
19
41
And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
field: 44020001
44
20
1
And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.
field: 44020002
44
20
2
And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,
field: 44020003
44
20
3
And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.
field: 44020004
44
20
4
And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
field: 44020005
44
20
5
These going before tarried for us at Troas.
field: 44020006
44
20
6
And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.
field: 44020007
44
20
7
And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
field: 44020008
44
20
8
And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.
field: 44020009
44
20
9
And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
field: 44020010
44
20
10
And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
field: 44020011
44
20
11
When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
field: 44020012
44
20
12
And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
field: 44020013
44
20
13
And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.
field: 44020014
44
20
14
And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
field: 44020015
44
20
15
And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.
field: 44020016
44
20
16
For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
field: 44020017
44
20
17
And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
field: 44020018
44
20
18
And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
field: 44020019
44
20
19
Serving the LORD with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
field: 44020020
44
20
20
And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,
field: 44020021
44
20
21
Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
field: 44020022
44
20
22
And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
field: 44020023
44
20
23
Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
field: 44020024
44
20
24
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
field: 44020025
44
20
25
And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
field: 44020026
44
20
26
Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
field: 44020027
44
20
27
For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
field: 44020028
44
20
28
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
field: 44020029
44
20
29
For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
field: 44020030
44
20
30
Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
field: 44020031
44
20
31
Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
field: 44020032
44
20
32
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
field: 44020033
44
20
33
I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
field: 44020034
44
20
34
Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
field: 44020035
44
20
35
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
field: 44020036
44
20
36
And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
field: 44020037
44
20
37
And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,
field: 44020038
44
20
38
Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
field: 44021001
44
21
1
And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
field: 44021002
44
21
2
And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
field: 44021003
44
21
3
Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
field: 44021004
44
21
4
And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
field: 44021005
44
21
5
And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
field: 44021006
44
21
6
And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
field: 44021007
44
21
7
And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
field: 44021008
44
21
8
And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
field: 44021009
44
21
9
And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
field: 44021010
44
21
10
And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
field: 44021011
44
21
11
And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
field: 44021012
44
21
12
And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
field: 44021013
44
21
13
Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
field: 44021014
44
21
14
And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
field: 44021015
44
21
15
And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.
field: 44021016
44
21
16
There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
field: 44021017
44
21
17
And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
field: 44021018
44
21
18
And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
field: 44021019
44
21
19
And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
field: 44021020
44
21
20
And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
field: 44021021
44
21
21
And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
field: 44021022
44
21
22
What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
field: 44021023
44
21
23
Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
field: 44021024
44
21
24
Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
field: 44021025
44
21
25
As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
field: 44021026
44
21
26
Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.
field: 44021027
44
21
27
And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
field: 44021028
44
21
28
Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
field: 44021029
44
21
29
(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
field: 44021030
44
21
30
And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.
field: 44021031
44
21
31
And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
field: 44021032
44
21
32
Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
field: 44021033
44
21
33
Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
field: 44021034
44
21
34
And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
field: 44021035
44
21
35
And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
field: 44021036
44
21
36
For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
field: 44021037
44
21
37
And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
field: 44021038
44
21
38
Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
field: 44021039
44
21
39
But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.
field: 44021040
44
21
40
And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
field: 44022001
44
22
1
Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.
field: 44022002
44
22
2
(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)
field: 44022003
44
22
3
I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
field: 44022004
44
22
4
And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
field: 44022005
44
22
5
As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.
field: 44022006
44
22
6
And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
field: 44022007
44
22
7
And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
field: 44022008
44
22
8
And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
field: 44022009
44
22
9
And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
field: 44022010
44
22
10
And I said, What shall I do, LORD? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
field: 44022011
44
22
11
And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
field: 44022012
44
22
12
And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,
field: 44022013
44
22
13
Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.
field: 44022014
44
22
14
And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
field: 44022015
44
22
15
For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
field: 44022016
44
22
16
And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
field: 44022017
44
22
17
And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
field: 44022018
44
22
18
And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
field: 44022019
44
22
19
And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:
field: 44022020
44
22
20
And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.
field: 44022021
44
22
21
And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
field: 44022022
44
22
22
And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
field: 44022023
44
22
23
And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air,
field: 44022024
44
22
24
The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.
field: 44022025
44
22
25
And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
field: 44022026
44
22
26
When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
field: 44022027
44
22
27
Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.
field: 44022028
44
22
28
And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
field: 44022029
44
22
29
Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
field: 44022030
44
22
30
On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.
field: 44023001
44
23
1
And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
field: 44023002
44
23
2
And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
field: 44023003
44
23
3
Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
field: 44023004
44
23
4
And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?
field: 44023005
44
23
5
Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
field: 44023006
44
23
6
But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
field: 44023007
44
23
7
And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
field: 44023008
44
23
8
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
field: 44023009
44
23
9
And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
field: 44023010
44
23
10
And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
field: 44023011
44
23
11
And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
field: 44023012
44
23
12
And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
field: 44023013
44
23
13
And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
field: 44023014
44
23
14
And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
field: 44023015
44
23
15
Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
field: 44023016
44
23
16
And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
field: 44023017
44
23
17
Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
field: 44023018
44
23
18
So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
field: 44023019
44
23
19
Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?
field: 44023020
44
23
20
And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
field: 44023021
44
23
21
But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
field: 44023022
44
23
22
So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.
field: 44023023
44
23
23
And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
field: 44023024
44
23
24
And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.
field: 44023025
44
23
25
And he wrote a letter after this manner:
field: 44023026
44
23
26
Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
field: 44023027
44
23
27
This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
field: 44023028
44
23
28
And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
field: 44023029
44
23
29
Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
field: 44023030
44
23
30
And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
field: 44023031
44
23
31
Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
field: 44023032
44
23
32
On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
field: 44023033
44
23
33
Who, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
field: 44023034
44
23
34
And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;
field: 44023035
44
23
35
I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.
field: 44024001
44
24
1
And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.
field: 44024002
44
24
2
And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,
field: 44024003
44
24
3
We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
field: 44024004
44
24
4
Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.
field: 44024005
44
24
5
For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
field: 44024006
44
24
6
Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
field: 44024007
44
24
7
But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,
field: 44024008
44
24
8
Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
field: 44024009
44
24
9
And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
field: 44024010
44
24
10
Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
field: 44024011
44
24
11
Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
field: 44024012
44
24
12
And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
field: 44024013
44
24
13
Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
field: 44024014
44
24
14
But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
field: 44024015
44
24
15
And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
field: 44024016
44
24
16
And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offence toward God, and toward men.
field: 44024017
44
24
17
Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
field: 44024018
44
24
18
Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
field: 44024019
44
24
19
Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me.
field: 44024020
44
24
20
Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,
field: 44024021
44
24
21
Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
field: 44024022
44
24
22
And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
field: 44024023
44
24
23
And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.
field: 44024024
44
24
24
And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
field: 44024025
44
24
25
And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
field: 44024026
44
24
26
He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
field: 44024027
44
24
27
But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
field: 44025001
44
25
1
Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
field: 44025002
44
25
2
Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,
field: 44025003
44
25
3
And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
field: 44025004
44
25
4
But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.
field: 44025005
44
25
5
Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
field: 44025006
44
25
6
And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.
field: 44025007
44
25
7
And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.
field: 44025008
44
25
8
While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.
field: 44025009
44
25
9
But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
field: 44025010
44
25
10
Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
field: 44025011
44
25
11
For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.
field: 44025012
44
25
12
Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.
field: 44025013
44
25
13
And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Caesarea to salute Festus.
field: 44025014
44
25
14
And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:
field: 44025015
44
25
15
About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him.
field: 44025016
44
25
16
To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.
field: 44025017
44
25
17
Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.
field: 44025018
44
25
18
Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed:
field: 44025019
44
25
19
But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
field: 44025020
44
25
20
And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.
field: 44025021
44
25
21
But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.
field: 44025022
44
25
22
Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
field: 44025023
44
25
23
And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth.
field: 44025024
44
25
24
And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
field: 44025025
44
25
25
But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.
field: 44025026
44
25
26
Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.
field: 44025027
44
25
27
For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him.
field: 44026001
44
26
1
Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
field: 44026002
44
26
2
I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:
field: 44026003
44
26
3
Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
field: 44026004
44
26
4
My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
field: 44026005
44
26
5
Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
field: 44026006
44
26
6
And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God, unto our fathers:
field: 44026007
44
26
7
Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
field: 44026008
44
26
8
Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?
field: 44026009
44
26
9
I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
field: 44026010
44
26
10
Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.
field: 44026011
44
26
11
And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.
field: 44026012
44
26
12
Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,
field: 44026013
44
26
13
At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
field: 44026014
44
26
14
And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
field: 44026015
44
26
15
And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
field: 44026016
44
26
16
But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
field: 44026017
44
26
17
Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
field: 44026018
44
26
18
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
field: 44026019
44
26
19
Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
field: 44026020
44
26
20
But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
field: 44026021
44
26
21
For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.
field: 44026022
44
26
22
Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
field: 44026023
44
26
23
That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
field: 44026024
44
26
24
And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
field: 44026025
44
26
25
But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
field: 44026026
44
26
26
For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.
field: 44026027
44
26
27
King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
field: 44026028
44
26
28
Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
field: 44026029
44
26
29
And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
field: 44026030
44
26
30
And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
field: 44026031
44
26
31
And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
field: 44026032
44
26
32
Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
field: 44027001
44
27
1
And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.
field: 44027002
44
27
2
And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
field: 44027003
44
27
3
And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
field: 44027004
44
27
4
And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
field: 44027005
44
27
5
And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
field: 44027006
44
27
6
And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
field: 44027007
44
27
7
And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
field: 44027008
44
27
8
And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
field: 44027009
44
27
9
Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
field: 44027010
44
27
10
And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
field: 44027011
44
27
11
Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
field: 44027012
44
27
12
And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.
field: 44027013
44
27
13
And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
field: 44027014
44
27
14
But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
field: 44027015
44
27
15
And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
field: 44027016
44
27
16
And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
field: 44027017
44
27
17
Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.
field: 44027018
44
27
18
And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
field: 44027019
44
27
19
And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
field: 44027020
44
27
20
And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
field: 44027021
44
27
21
But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
field: 44027022
44
27
22
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.
field: 44027023
44
27
23
For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
field: 44027024
44
27
24
Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
field: 44027025
44
27
25
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
field: 44027026
44
27
26
Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
field: 44027027
44
27
27
But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;
field: 44027028
44
27
28
And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
field: 44027029
44
27
29
Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
field: 44027030
44
27
30
And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,
field: 44027031
44
27
31
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
field: 44027032
44
27
32
Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
field: 44027033
44
27
33
And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
field: 44027034
44
27
34
Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
field: 44027035
44
27
35
And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
field: 44027036
44
27
36
Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
field: 44027037
44
27
37
And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
field: 44027038
44
27
38
And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
field: 44027039
44
27
39
And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
field: 44027040
44
27
40
And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
field: 44027041
44
27
41
And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
field: 44027042
44
27
42
And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
field: 44027043
44
27
43
But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:
field: 44027044
44
27
44
And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
field: 44028001
44
28
1
And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
field: 44028002
44
28
2
And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
field: 44028003
44
28
3
And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
field: 44028004
44
28
4
And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
field: 44028005
44
28
5
And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
field: 44028006
44
28
6
Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
field: 44028007
44
28
7
In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
field: 44028008
44
28
8
And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.
field: 44028009
44
28
9
So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:
field: 44028010
44
28
10
Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.
field: 44028011
44
28
11
And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
field: 44028012
44
28
12
And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.
field: 44028013
44
28
13
And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:
field: 44028014
44
28
14
Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.
field: 44028015
44
28
15
And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
field: 44028016
44
28
16
And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.
field: 44028017
44
28
17
And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
field: 44028018
44
28
18
Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.
field: 44028019
44
28
19
But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.
field: 44028020
44
28
20
For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
field: 44028021
44
28
21
And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.
field: 44028022
44
28
22
But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
field: 44028023
44
28
23
And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.
field: 44028024
44
28
24
And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
field: 44028025
44
28
25
And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,
field: 44028026
44
28
26
Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:
field: 44028027
44
28
27
For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
field: 44028028
44
28
28
Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
field: 44028029
44
28
29
And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
field: 44028030
44
28
30
And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,
field: 44028031
44
28
31
Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
field: 45001001
45

1
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
field: 45001002
45
1
2
(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
field: 45001003
45
1
3
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
field: 45001004
45
1
4
And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
field: 45001005
45
1
5
By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
field: 45001006
45
1
6
Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
field: 45001007
45
1
7
To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
field: 45001008
45
1
8
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
field: 45001009
45
1
9
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
field: 45001010
45
1
10
Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
field: 45001011
45
1
11
For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
field: 45001012
45
1
12
That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
field: 45001013
45
1
13
Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
field: 45001014
45
1
14
I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
field: 45001015
45
1
15
So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
field: 45001016
45
1
16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
field: 45001017
45
1
17
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
field: 45001018
45
1
18
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
field: 45001019
45
1
19
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
field: 45001020
45
1
20
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
field: 45001021
45
1
21
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
field: 45001022
45
1
22
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
field: 45001023
45
1
23
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
field: 45001024
45
1
24
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
field: 45001025
45
1
25
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
field: 45001026
45
1
26
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
field: 45001027
45
1
27
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
field: 45001028
45
1
28
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
field: 45001029
45
1
29
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
field: 45001030
45
1
30
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
field: 45001031
45
1
31
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
field: 45001032
45
1
32
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
field: 45002001
45
2
1
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
field: 45002002
45
2
2
But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
field: 45002003
45
2
3
And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
field: 45002004
45
2
4
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
field: 45002005
45
2
5
But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
field: 45002006
45
2
6
Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
field: 45002007
45
2
7
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
field: 45002008
45
2
8
But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
field: 45002009
45
2
9
Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
field: 45002010
45
2
10
But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
field: 45002011
45
2
11
For there is no respect of persons with God.
field: 45002012
45
2
12
For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
field: 45002013
45
2
13
(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
field: 45002014
45
2
14
For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
field: 45002015
45
2
15
Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
field: 45002016
45
2
16
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
field: 45002017

Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
field: 45002018
45
2
18
And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
field: 45002019
45
2
19
And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
field: 45002020
45
2
20
An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
field: 45002021
45
2
21
Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
field: 45002022
45
2
22
Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
field: 45002023
45
2
23
Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
field: 45002024
45
2
24
For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
field: 45002025
45
2
25
For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
field: 45002026
45
2
26
Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
field: 45002027
45
2
27
And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
field: 45002028
45
2
28
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
field: 45002029
45
2
29
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
field: 45003001
45
3
1
What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
field: 45003002
45
3
2
Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
field: 45003003
45
3
3
For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
field: 45003004
45
3
4
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
field: 45003005
45
3
5
But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)
field: 45003006
45
3
6
God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
field: 45003007
45
3
7
For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
field: 45003008
45
3
8
And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
field: 45003009
45
3
9
What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
field: 45003010
45
3
10
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
field: 45003011
45
3
11
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
field: 45003012
45
3
12
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
field: 45003013
45
3
13
Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
field: 45003014
45
3
14
Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
field: 45003015
45
3
15
Their feet are swift to shed blood:
field: 45003016
45
3
16
Destruction and misery are in their ways:
field: 45003017
45
3
17
And the way of peace have they not known:
field: 45003018
45
3
18
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
field: 45003019
45
3
19
Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
field: 45003020
45
3
20
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
field: 45003021
45
3
21
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
field: 45003022
45
3
22
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
field: 45003023
45
3
23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
field: 45003024
45
3
24
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
field: 45003025
45
3
25
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
field: 45003026
45
3
26
To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
field: 45003027
45
3
27
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
field: 45003028
45
3
28
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
field: 45003029
45
3
29
Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
field: 45003030
45
3
30
Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
field: 45003031
45
3
31
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
field: 45004001
45
4
1
What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
field: 45004002
45
4
2
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
field: 45004003
45
4
3
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
field: 45004004
45
4
4
Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
field: 45004005
45
4
5
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
field: 45004006
45
4
6
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
field: 45004007
45
4
7
Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
field: 45004008
45
4
8
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
field: 45004009
45
4
9
Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
field: 45004010
45
4
10
How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
field: 45004011
45
4
11
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
field: 45004012
45
4
12
And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
field: 45004013
45
4
13
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
field: 45004014
45
4
14
For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
field: 45004015
45
4
15
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
field: 45004016
45
4
16
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
field: 45004017
45
4
17
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
field: 45004018
45
4
18
Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
field: 45004019
45
4
19
And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:
field: 45004020
45
4
20
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
field: 45004021
45
4
21
And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
field: 45004022
45
4
22
And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
field: 45004023
45
4
23
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
field: 45004024
45
4
24
But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
field: 45004025
45
4
25
Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
field: 45005001
45
5
1
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
field: 45005002
45
5
2
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
field: 45005003
45
5
3
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
field: 45005004
45
5
4
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
field: 45005005
45
5
5
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
field: 45005006
45
5
6
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
field: 45005007
45
5
7
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
field: 45005008
45
5
8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
field: 45005009
45
5
9
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
field: 45005010
45
5
10
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
field: 45005011
45
5
11
And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
field: 45005012
45
5
12
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
field: 45005013
45
5
13
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
field: 45005014
45
5
14
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
field: 45005015
45
5
15
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
field: 45005016
45
5
16
And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
field: 45005017
45
5
17
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
field: 45005018
45
5
18
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
field: 45005019
45
5
19
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
field: 45005020
45
5
20
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
field: 45005021
45
5
21
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
field: 45006001
45
6
1
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
field: 45006002
45
6
2
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
field: 45006003
45
6
3
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
field: 45006004
45
6
4
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
field: 45006005
45
6
5
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
field: 45006006
45
6
6
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
field: 45006007
45
6
7
For he that is dead is freed from sin.
field: 45006008
45
6
8
Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
field: 45006009
45
6
9
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
field: 45006010
45
6
10
For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
field: 45006011
45
6
11
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
field: 45006012
45
6
12
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
field: 45006013
45
6
13
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
field: 45006014
45
6
14
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
field: 45006015
45
6
15
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
field: 45006016
45
6
16
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
field: 45006017
45
6
17
But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
field: 45006018
45
6
18
Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
field: 45006019
45
6
19
I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
field: 45006020
45
6
20
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
field: 45006021
45
6
21
What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
field: 45006022
45
6
22
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
field: 45006023
45
6
23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
field: 45007001
45
7
1
Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
field: 45007002
45
7
2
For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
field: 45007003
45
7
3
So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
field: 45007004
45
7
4
Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
field: 45007005
45
7
5
For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
field: 45007006
45
7
6
But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
field: 45007007
45
7
7
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
field: 45007008
45
7
8
But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
field: 45007009
45
7
9
For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
field: 45007010
45
7
10
And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
field: 45007011
45
7
11
For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
field: 45007012
45
7
12
Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
field: 45007013
45
7
13
Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
field: 45007014
45
7
14
For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
field: 45007015
45
7
15
For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
field: 45007016
45
7
16
If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
field: 45007017
45
7
17
Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
field: 45007018
45
7
18
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
field: 45007019
45
7
19
For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
field: 45007020
45
7
20
Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
field: 45007021
45
7
21
I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
field: 45007022
45
7
22
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
field: 45007023
45
7
23
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
field: 45007024
45
7
24
O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
field: 45007025
45
7
25
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
field: 45008001
45
8
1
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
field: 45008002
45
8
2
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
field: 45008003
45
8
3
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
field: 45008004
45
8
4
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
field: 45008005
45
8
5
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
field: 45008006
45
8
6
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
field: 45008007
45
8
7
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
field: 45008008
45
8
8
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
field: 45008009
45
8
9
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
field: 45008010
45
8
10
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
field: 45008011
45
8
11
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
field: 45008012
45
8
12
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
field: 45008013
45
8
13
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
field: 45008014

14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
field: 45008015
45
8
15
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
field: 45008016
45
8
16
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
field: 45008017
45
8
17
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
field: 45008018
45
8
18
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
field: 45008019
45
8
19
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
field: 45008020
45
8
20
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
field: 45008021
45
8
21
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
field: 45008022
45
8
22
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
field: 45008023
45
8
23
And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
field: 45008024
45
8
24
For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
field: 45008025
45
8
25
But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
field: 45008026
45
8
26
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
field: 45008027
45
8
27
And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
field: 45008028
45
8
28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
field: 45008029
45
8
29
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
field: 45008030
45
8
30
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
field: 45008031
45
8
31
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
field: 45008032
45
8
32
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
field: 45008033
45
8
33
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
field: 45008034
45
8
34
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
field: 45008035
45
8
35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
field: 45008036
45
8
36
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
field: 45008037
45
8
37
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
field: 45008038
45
8
38
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
field: 45008039
45
8
39
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
field: 45009001
45

1
I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
field: 45009002
45
9
2
That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
field: 45009003
45
9
3
For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
field: 45009004
45
9
4
Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
field: 45009005
45
9
5
Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
field: 45009006
45
9
6
Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
field: 45009007
45
9
7
Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
field: 45009008
45
9
8
That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
field: 45009009
45
9
9
For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
field: 45009010
45
9
10
And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
field: 45009011
45
9
11
(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
field: 45009012
45
9
12
It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.

13
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
field: 45009014
45
9
14
What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
field: 45009015
45
9
15
For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
field: 45009016
45
9
16
So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
field: 45009017
45
9
17
For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
field: 45009018
45
9
18
Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
field: 45009019
45
9
19
Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
field: 45009020
45
9
20
Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

21
Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
field: 45009022
45
9
22
What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
field: 45009023
45
9
23
And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
field: 45009024
45
9
24
Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
field: 45009025
45
9
25
As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
field: 45009026
45
9
26
And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
field: 45009027
45

27
Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
field: 45009028
45
9
28
For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
field: 45009029
45
9
29
And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
field: 45009030
45
9
30
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
field: 45009031
45
9
31
But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
field: 45009032
45
9
32
Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
field: 45009033
45
9
33
As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
field: 45010001
45
10
1
Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
field: 45010002
45
10
2
For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
field: 45010003
45
10
3
For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
field: 45010004
45
10
4
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
field: 45010005
45
10
5
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
field: 45010006
45
10
6
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
field: 45010007
45
10
7
Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
field: 45010008
45
10
8
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
field: 45010009
45
10
9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
field: 45010010
45
10
10
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
field: 45010011
45
10
11
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
field: 45010012
45
10
12
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
field: 45010013
45
10
13
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
field: 45010014
45
10
14
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
field: 45010015
45
10
15
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
field: 45010016
45
10
16
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
field: 45010017
45
10
17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
field: 45010018
45
10
18
But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
field: 45010019
45
10
19
But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
field: 45010020
45
10
20
But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
field: 45010021
45
10
21
But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
field: 45011001
45
11
1
I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
field: 45011002
45
11
2
God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying,
field: 45011003
45
11
3
Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
field: 45011004
45
11
4
But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
field: 45011005
45
11
5
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
field: 45011006
45
11
6
And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
field: 45011007
45
11
7
What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
field: 45011008
45
11
8
(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
field: 45011009
45
11
9
And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
field: 45011010
45
11
10
Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
field: 45011011
45
11
11
I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
field: 45011012
45
11
12
Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
field: 45011013
45
11
13
For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
field: 45011014
45
11
14
If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
field: 45011015
45
11
15
For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
field: 45011016
45
11
16
For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
field: 45011017
45
11
17
And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
field: 45011018
45
11
18
Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
field: 45011019
45
11
19
Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
field: 45011020
45
11
20
Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
field: 45011021
45
11
21
For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
field: 45011022
45
11
22
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
field: 45011023
45
11
23
And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
field: 45011024
45
11
24
For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
field: 45011025
45
11
25
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
field: 45011026
45
11
26
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
field: 45011027
45
11
27
For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
field: 45011028
45
11
28
As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.
field: 45011029
45
11
29
For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
field: 45011030
45
11
30
For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
field: 45011031
45
11
31
Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
field: 45011032
45
11
32
For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
field: 45011033
45
11
33
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
field: 45011034
45
11
34
For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
field: 45011035
45
11
35
Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
field: 45011036
45
11
36
For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
field: 45012001
45
12
1
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
field: 45012002
45
12
2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
field: 45012003
45
12
3
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
field: 45012004
45
12
4
For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
field: 45012005
45
12
5
So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
field: 45012006
45
12
6
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
field: 45012007
45
12
7
Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
field: 45012008
45
12
8
Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
field: 45012009
45
12
9
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
field: 45012010
45
12
10
Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
field: 45012011
45
12
11
Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
field: 45012012
45
12
12
Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
field: 45012013
45
12
13
Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
field: 45012014
45
12
14
Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
field: 45012015
45
12
15
Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
field: 45012016
45
12
16
Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
field: 45012017
45
12
17
Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
field: 45012018
45
12
18
If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
field: 45012019
45
12
19
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
field: 45012020
45
12
20
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
field: 45012021
45
12
21
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
field: 45013001
45
13
1
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
field: 45013002
45
13
2
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
field: 45013003
45
13
3
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
field: 45013004
45
13
4
For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
field: 45013005
45
13
5
Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
field: 45013006
45
13
6
For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
field: 45013007
45
13
7
Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
field: 45013008
45
13
8
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
field: 45013009
45

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.

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
field: 45013011

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
field: 45013013
45
13
13
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
field: 45013014

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
field: 45014002
45

2
For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
field: 45014003
45
14
3
Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
field: 45014004
45

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.
field: 45014005

One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
field: 45014006
45
14
6
He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
field: 45014007
45

For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
field: 45014008
45
14
8
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
field: 45014009
45
14
9
For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
field: 45014010
45

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.
field: 45014011
45
14
11
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
field: 45014012
45
14
12
So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
field: 45014013
45
14
13
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
field: 45014014
45
14
14
I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
field: 45014015
45
14
15
But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
field: 45014016
45
14
16
Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
field: 45014017
45
14
17
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
field: 45014018
45
14
18
For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
field: 45014019
45
14
19
Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
field: 45014020
45
14
20
For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
field: 45014021
45
14
21
It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
field: 45014022
45
14
22
Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
field: 45014023
45
14
23
And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
field: 45015001
45
15
1
We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
field: 45015002
45
15
2
Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
field: 45015003
45
15
3
For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
field: 45015004
45
15
4
For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
field: 45015005
45
15
5
Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
field: 45015006
45
15
6
That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
field: 45015007
45
15
7
Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
field: 45015008
45
15
8
Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
field: 45015009
45
15
9
And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
field: 45015010
45
15
10
And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
field: 45015011
45
15
11
And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
field: 45015012
45
15
12
And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
field: 45015013
45
15
13
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
field: 45015014
45
15
14
And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
field: 45015015
45
15
15
Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
field: 45015016
45
15
16
That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
field: 45015017
45
15
17
I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.
field: 45015018
45
15
18
For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
field: 45015019
45
15
19
Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
field: 45015020
45
15
20
Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
field: 45015021
45
15
21
But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
field: 45015022
45
15
22
For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.
field: 45015023
45
15
23
But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;
field: 45015024
45
15
24
Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.
field: 45015025
45
15
25
But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
field: 45015026
45
15
26
For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
field: 45015027
45
15
27
It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
field: 45015028
45
15
28
When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
field: 45015029
45
15
29
And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
field: 45015030
45
15
30
Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
field: 45015031
45
15
31
That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
field: 45015032
45
15
32
That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
field: 45015033
45
15
33
Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:
field: 45016002
45
16

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.

Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:

Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
field: 45016005

Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.

Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.

Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.

Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.

16
Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.
field: 45016017
45
16
17
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
field: 45016018
45
16
18
For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
field: 45016019
45
16
19
For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
field: 45016020

20
And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.

Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

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,
field: 45016026
45
16
26
But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
field: 45016027

To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.

Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
field: 46001002

2
Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:
field: 46001003
46
1
3
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
field: 46001004
46

4
I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
field: 46001005
46
1
5
That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
field: 46001006
46
1
6
Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
field: 46001007
46
1
7
So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
field: 46001008
46
1
8
Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
field: 46001009
46
1
9
God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
field: 46001010
46
1
10
Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
field: 46001011
46
1
11
For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
field: 46001012
46
1
12
Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
field: 46001013
46
1
13
Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
field: 46001014
46
1
14
I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
field: 46001015
46
1
15
Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
field: 46001016
46
1
16
And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
field: 46001017
46
1
17
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
field: 46001018
46
1
18
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
field: 46001019
46
1
19
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
field: 46001020
46
1
20
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
field: 46001021
46
1
21
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
field: 46001022
46
1
22
For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
field: 46001023
46
1
23
But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
field: 46001024
46
1
24
But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
field: 46001025
46
1
25
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
field: 46001026
46
1
26
For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
field: 46001027
46
1
27
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
field: 46001028
46
1
28
And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
field: 46001029
46
1
29
That no flesh should glory in his presence.
field: 46001030
46
1
30
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
field: 46001031
46
1
31
That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
field: 46002001
46
2
1
And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
field: 46002002
46
2
2
For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
field: 46002003
46
2
3
And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
field: 46002004
46
2
4
And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
field: 46002005
46
2
5
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
field: 46002006
46
2
6
Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
field: 46002007
46
2
7
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
field: 46002008
46
2
8
Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
field: 46002009
46
2
9
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
field: 46002010
46
2
10
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
field: 46002011
46
2
11
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
field: 46002012
46
2
12
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
field: 46002013
46
2
13
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
field: 46002014
46
2
14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
field: 46002015
46
2
15
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
field: 46002016
46
2
16
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
field: 46003001
46

1
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
field: 46003002
46
3
2
I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
field: 46003003
46
3
3
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
field: 46003004
46
3
4
For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
field: 46003005
46
3
5
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
field: 46003006
46
3
6
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
field: 46003007
46
3
7
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
field: 46003008
46
3
8
Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
field: 46003009
46
3
9
For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
field: 46003010
46
3
10
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
field: 46003011
46
3
11
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
field: 46003013
46
3
13
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
field: 46003014
46
3
14
If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
field: 46003015
46
3
15
If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
field: 46003016
46
3
16
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
field: 46003017
46
3
17
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
field: 46003018
46
3
18
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
field: 46003019
46
3
19
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
field: 46003020
46
3
20
And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
field: 46003021
46
3
21
Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;
field: 46003022
46
3
22
Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;
field: 46003023
46
3
23
And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
field: 46004001
46
4
1
Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
field: 46004002
46
4
2
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
field: 46004003
46
4
3
But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
field: 46004004
46
4
4
For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
field: 46004005
46
4
5
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
field: 46004006
46
4
6
And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
field: 46004007
46
4
7
For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
field: 46004008
46
4
8
Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
field: 46004009
46
4
9
For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
field: 46004010
46
4
10
We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
field: 46004011
46
4
11
Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
field: 46004012
46
4
12
And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
field: 46004013
46
4
13
Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
field: 46004014
46
4
14
I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
field: 46004015
46
4
15
For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
field: 46004016
46
4
16
Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
field: 46004017
46
4
17
For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
field: 46004018
46
4
18
Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
field: 46004019
46
4
19
But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
field: 46004020
46
4
20
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
field: 46004021
46
4
21
What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
field: 46005001
46
5
1
It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
field: 46005002
46
5
2
And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
field: 46005003
46
5
3
For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
field: 46005004
46
5
4
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
field: 46005005
46
5
5
To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
field: 46005006
46
5
6
Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
field: 46005007
46
5
7
Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
field: 46005008
46
5
8
Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
field: 46005009
46
5
9
I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
field: 46005010
46
5
10
Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
field: 46005011
46
5
11
But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
field: 46005012
46
5
12
For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
field: 46005013
46
5
13
But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
field: 46006001
46
6
1
Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
field: 46006002
46
6
2
Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
field: 46006003
46
6
3
Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
field: 46006004
46
6
4
If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
field: 46006005
46
6
5
I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
field: 46006006
46
6
6
But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
field: 46006007
46
6
7
Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
field: 46006008
46
6
8
Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
field: 46006009
46
6
9
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
field: 46006010
46
6
10
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
field: 46006011
46
6
11
And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
field: 46006012
46
6
12
All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
field: 46006013
46
6
13
Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
field: 46006014
46
6
14
And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
field: 46006015
46
6
15
Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
field: 46006016
46
6
16
What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
field: 46006017
46
6
17
But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
field: 46006018
46
6
18
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
field: 46006019
46
6
19
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
field: 46006020
46
6
20
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
field: 46007001
46
7
1
Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
field: 46007002
46
7
2
Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
field: 46007003
46
7
3
Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
field: 46007004
46
7
4
The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
field: 46007005
46
7
5
Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
field: 46007006
46
7
6
But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
field: 46007007
46
7
7
For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
field: 46007008
46
7
8
I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
field: 46007009
46
7
9
But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
field: 46007010
46
7
10
And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
field: 46007011
46
7
11
But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
field: 46007012
46
7
12
But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
field: 46007013
46
7
13
And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
field: 46007014
46
7
14
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
field: 46007015
46
7
15
But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
field: 46007016
46
7
16
For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
field: 46007017
46
7
17
But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
field: 46007018
46
7
18
Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
field: 46007019
46
7
19
Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
field: 46007020
46
7
20
Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
field: 46007021
46
7
21
Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
field: 46007022
46
7
22
For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.
field: 46007023
46
7
23
Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
field: 46007024
46
7
24
Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
field: 46007025
46
7
25
Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
field: 46007026
46
7
26
I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
field: 46007027
46
7
27
Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
field: 46007028
46
7
28
But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
field: 46007029
46
7
29
But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
field: 46007030
46
7
30
And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
field: 46007031
46
7
31
And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
field: 46007032
46
7
32
But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
field: 46007033
46
7
33
But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
field: 46007034
46
7
34
There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
field: 46007035
46
7
35
And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
field: 46007036
46
7
36
But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
field: 46007037
46
7
37
Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
field: 46007038
46
7
38
So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.
field: 46007039
46
7
39
The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
field: 46007040
46
7
40
But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
field: 46008001
46

Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
field: 46008002
46
8
2
And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
field: 46008003
46
8
3
But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
field: 46008004
46
8
4
As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
field: 46008005
46
8
5
For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
field: 46008006
46
8
6
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
field: 46008007
46
8
7
Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
field: 46008008
46
8
8
But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
field: 46008009
46
8
9
But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
field: 46008010
46
8
10
For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
field: 46008011
46
8
11
And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
field: 46008012
46
8
12
But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
field: 46008013
46
8
13
Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
field: 46009001

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?
field: 46009002
46
9
2
If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
field: 46009003
46
9
3
Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
field: 46009004
46
9
4
Have we not power to eat and to drink?
field: 46009005
46
9
5
Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
field: 46009006
46
9
6
Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
field: 46009007
46
9
7
Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
field: 46009008
46
9
8
Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?
field: 46009009
46
9
9
For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
field: 46009010
46
9
10
Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
field: 46009011
46
9
11
If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
field: 46009012
46
9
12
If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
field: 46009013
46
9
13
Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
field: 46009014
46
9
14
Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
field: 46009015
46
9
15
But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
field: 46009016
46
9
16
For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
field: 46009017
46
9
17
For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
field: 46009018
46
9
18
What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
field: 46009019
46
9
19
For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
field: 46009020
46
9
20
And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
field: 46009021
46
9
21
To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
field: 46009022
46
9
22
To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
field: 46009023
46
9
23
And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
field: 46009024
46

Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
field: 46009025
46
9
25
And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
field: 46009026
46

26
I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
field: 46009027
46
9
27
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
field: 46010001
46
10
1
Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
field: 46010002
46
10
2
And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
field: 46010003
46
10
3
And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
field: 46010004
46
10
4
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
field: 46010005
46
10
5
But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
field: 46010006
46
10
6
Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
field: 46010007
46
10
7
Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
field: 46010008
46
10
8
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
field: 46010009
46
10
9
Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
field: 46010010
46
10
10
Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
field: 46010011
46
10
11
Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
field: 46010012
46
10
12
Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
field: 46010013
46
10
13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
field: 46010014
46
10
14
Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
field: 46010015
46
10
15
I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
field: 46010016
46
10
16
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
field: 46010017
46
10
17
For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
field: 46010018
46
10
18
Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
field: 46010019
46
10
19
What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
field: 46010020
46
10
20
But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
field: 46010021
46
10
21
Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
field: 46010022
46
10
22
Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
field: 46010023
46
10
23
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
field: 46010024
46
10
24
Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
field: 46010025
46
10
25
Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
field: 46010026
46
10
26
For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
field: 46010027
46
10
27
If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
field: 46010028
46
10
28
But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
field: 46010029
46
10
29
Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?
field: 46010030
46
10
30
For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
field: 46010031
46
10
31
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
field: 46010032
46
10
32
Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
field: 46010033
46
10
33
Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
field: 46011001
46
11
1
Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
field: 46011002
46
11
2
Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
field: 46011003
46
11
3
But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
field: 46011004
46
11
4
Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
field: 46011005
46
11
5
But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
field: 46011006
46
11
6
For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
field: 46011007
46
11
7
For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
field: 46011008
46
11
8
For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.
field: 46011009
46
11
9
Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
field: 46011010
46
11
10
For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
field: 46011011
46
11
11
Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
field: 46011012
46
11
12
For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
field: 46011013
46
11
13
Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
field: 46011014
46
11
14
Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
field: 46011015
46
11
15
But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
field: 46011016
46
11
16
But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
field: 46011017
46
11
17
Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
field: 46011018
46
11
18
For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
field: 46011019
46
11
19
For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
field: 46011020
46
11
20
When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.
field: 46011021
46
11
21
For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
field: 46011022
46
11
22
What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
field: 46011023
46
11
23
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
field: 46011024
46
11
24
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
field: 46011025
46
11
25
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
field: 46011026
46
11
26
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
field: 46011027
46
11
27
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
field: 46011028
46
11
28
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
field: 46011029
46
11
29
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
field: 46011030
46
11
30
For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
field: 46011031
46
11
31
For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
field: 46011032
46
11
32
But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
field: 46011033
46
11
33
Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
field: 46011034
46
11
34
And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
field: 46012001
46
12
1
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
field: 46012002
46
12
2
Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
field: 46012003
46
12
3
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
field: 46012004
46
12
4
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
field: 46012005
46
12
5
And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
field: 46012006
46
12
6
And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
field: 46012007
46
12
7
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
field: 46012008
46
12
8
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
field: 46012009
46
12
9
To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
field: 46012010
46
12
10
To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
field: 46012011
46
12
11
But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
field: 46012012
46
12
12
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
field: 46012013
46
12
13
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
field: 46012014
46
12
14
For the body is not one member, but many.
field: 46012015
46
12
15
If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
field: 46012016
46
12
16
And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
field: 46012017
46
12
17
If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
field: 46012018
46
12
18
But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
field: 46012019
46
12
19
And if they were all one member, where were the body?
field: 46012020
46
12
20
But now are they many members, yet but one body.
field: 46012021
46
12
21
And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
field: 46012022
46
12
22
Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
field: 46012023
46
12
23
And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
field: 46012024
46
12
24
For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked.
field: 46012025
46
12
25
That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
field: 46012026
46
12
26
And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
field: 46012027
46
12
27
Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
field: 46012028
46
12
28
And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
field: 46012029
46
12
29
Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
field: 46012030
46
12
30
Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
field: 46012031
46
12
31
But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
field: 46013001
46
13
1
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
field: 46013002
46
13
2
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
field: 46013003
46
13
3
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
field: 46013004
46
13
4
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
field: 46013005
46
13
5
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
field: 46013006
46
13
6
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
field: 46013007
46
13
7
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
field: 46013008
46
13
8
Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
field: 46013009
46
13
9
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
field: 46013010
46
13
10
But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
field: 46013011
46
13
11
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
field: 46013012
46
13
12
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
field: 46013013
46
13
13
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
field: 46014001
46
14
1
Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
field: 46014002
46
14
2
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
field: 46014003
46
14
3
But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
field: 46014004
46
14
4
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
field: 46014005
46
14
5
I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
field: 46014006
46
14
6
Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
field: 46014007
46
14
7
And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
field: 46014008
46
14
8
For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
field: 46014009
46
14
9
So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
field: 46014010
46
14
10
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
field: 46014011
46
14
11
Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
field: 46014012
46
14
12
Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
field: 46014013
46
14
13
Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
field: 46014014
46
14
14
For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
field: 46014015
46
14
15
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
field: 46014016
46
14
16
Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
field: 46014017
46
14
17
For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
field: 46014018
46
14
18
I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
field: 46014019
46
14
19
Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
field: 46014020
46
14
20
Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
field: 46014021
46
14
21
In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
field: 46014022
46
14
22
Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
field: 46014023
46
14
23
If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
field: 46014024
46
14
24
But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
field: 46014025
46
14
25
And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
field: 46014026
46
14
26
How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
field: 46014027
46
14
27
If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
field: 46014028
46
14
28
But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
field: 46014029
46
14
29
Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
field: 46014030
46
14
30
If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
field: 46014031
46
14
31
For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
field: 46014032
46
14
32
And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
field: 46014033
46
14
33
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
field: 46014034
46
14
34
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
field: 46014035
46
14
35
And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
field: 46014036
46
14
36
What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
field: 46014037
46
14
37
If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
field: 46014038
46
14
38
But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
field: 46014039
46
14
39
Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
field: 46014040
46
14
40
Let all things be done decently and in order.
field: 46015001
46
15

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
field: 46015002
46
15
2
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
field: 46015003
46
15
3
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
field: 46015004
46
15
4
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
field: 46015005
46
15
5
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
field: 46015006
46
15
6
After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
field: 46015007
46
15
7
After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
field: 46015008
46
15
8
And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
field: 46015009
46
15
9
For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
field: 46015010
46
15
10
But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
field: 46015011
46
15
11
Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
field: 46015012
46
15
12
Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
field: 46015013
46
15
13
But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
field: 46015014
46
15
14
And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
field: 46015015
46
15
15
Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
field: 46015016
46
15
16
For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
field: 46015017
46
15
17
And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
field: 46015018
46
15
18
Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
field: 46015019
46
15
19
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
field: 46015020
46
15
20
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
field: 46015021
46
15
21
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
field: 46015022
46
15
22
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
field: 46015023
46
15
23
But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
field: 46015024
46
15
24
Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
field: 46015025
46
15
25
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
field: 46015026
46
15
26
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
field: 46015027
46
15
27
For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
field: 46015028
46
15
28
And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
field: 46015029
46
15
29
Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
field: 46015030
46
15
30
And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
field: 46015031
46
15
31
I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
field: 46015032
46
15
32
If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
field: 46015033
46
15
33
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
field: 46015034
46
15
34
Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
field: 46015035
46
15
35
But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
field: 46015036
46
15
36
Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
field: 46015037
46
15
37
And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
field: 46015038
46
15
38
But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
field: 46015039
46
15
39
All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
field: 46015040
46
15
40
There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
field: 46015041
46
15
41
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
field: 46015042
46
15
42
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
field: 46015043
46
15
43
It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
field: 46015044
46
15
44
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
field: 46015045
46
15
45
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
field: 46015046
46
15
46
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
field: 46015047
46
15
47
The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
field: 46015048
46
15
48
As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
field: 46015049
46
15
49
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
field: 46015050
46
15
50
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
field: 46015051
46
15
51
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
field: 46015052
46
15
52
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
field: 46015053
46
15
53
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
field: 46015054
46
15
54
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
field: 46015055
46
15
55
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
field: 46015056
46
15
56
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
field: 46015057
46
15
57
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
field: 46015058
46
15
58
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
field: 46016001
46
16
1
Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
field: 46016002
46
16
2
Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
field: 46016003
46
16
3
And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
field: 46016004
46
16
4
And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
field: 46016005
46
16
5
Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
field: 46016006
46
16
6
And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.
field: 46016007
46
16
7
For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
field: 46016008
46
16
8
But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
field: 46016009
46
16
9
For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
field: 46016010
46
16
10
Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.
field: 46016011
46
16
11
Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.
field: 46016012
46
16
12
As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.
field: 46016013
46
16
13
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
field: 46016014
46
16
14
Let all your things be done with charity.
field: 46016015
46
16
15
I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
field: 46016016
46
16
16
That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.
field: 46016017
46
16
17
I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
field: 46016018
46
16
18
For they have refreshed my spirit and your's: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.
field: 46016019
46
16
19
The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
field: 46016020
46
16
20
All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
field: 46016021
46
16
21
The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
field: 46016022
46
16
22
If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
field: 46016023
46
16
23
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
field: 46016024
46
16
24
My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
field: 47001001
47

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:
field: 47001002
47
1
2
Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
field: 47001003
47
1
3
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
field: 47001004
47
1
4
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
field: 47001005
47
1
5
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
field: 47001006
47
1
6
And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
field: 47001007
47
1
7
And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
field: 47001008
47
1
8
For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
field: 47001009
47
1
9
But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
field: 47001010
47
1
10
Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
field: 47001011
47
1
11
Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
field: 47001012
47
1
12
For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
field: 47001013
47
1
13
For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;
field: 47001014
47
1
14
As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are our's in the day of the Lord Jesus.
field: 47001015
47
1
15
And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;
field: 47001016
47
1
16
And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.
field: 47001017
47
1
17
When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?
field: 47001018
47
1
18
But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
field: 47001019
47
1
19
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
field: 47001020
47
1
20
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
field: 47001021
47
1
21
Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
field: 47001022
47
1
22
Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
field: 47001023
47
1
23
Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
field: 47001024
47
1
24
Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
field: 47002001
47
2
1
But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
field: 47002002
47
2
2
For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?
field: 47002003
47
2
3
And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
field: 47002004
47
2
4
For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
field: 47002005
47
2
5
But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
field: 47002006
47
2
6
Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
field: 47002007
47
2
7
So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
field: 47002008
47
2
8
Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
field: 47002009
47
2
9
For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
field: 47002010
47
2
10
To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;
field: 47002011
47
2
11
Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
field: 47002012
47
2
12
Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,
field: 47002013
47
2
13
I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.
field: 47002014
47
2
14
Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
field: 47002015
47
2
15
For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
field: 47002016
47
2
16
To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
field: 47002017
47
2
17
For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
field: 47003001
47
3
1
Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
field: 47003002
47
3
2
Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
field: 47003003
47
3
3
Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
field: 47003004
47
3
4
And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
field: 47003005
47
3
5
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
field: 47003006
47
3
6
Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
field: 47003007
47
3
7
But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
field: 47003008
47
3
8
How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
field: 47003009
47
3
9
For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
field: 47003010
47
3
10
For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
field: 47003011
47
3
11
For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
field: 47003012
47
3
12
Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
field: 47003013
47
3
13
And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
field: 47003014
47
3
14
But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
field: 47003015
47
3
15
But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
field: 47003016
47
3
16
Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
field: 47003017
47
3
17
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
field: 47003018
47
3
18
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
field: 47004001
47
4
1
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
field: 47004002
47
4
2
But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
field: 47004003
47
4
3
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
field: 47004004
47
4
4
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
field: 47004005
47
4
5
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
field: 47004006
47
4
6
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
field: 47004007
47
4
7
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
field: 47004008
47
4
8
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
field: 47004009
47
4
9
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
field: 47004010
47
4
10
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
field: 47004011
47
4
11
For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
field: 47004012
47
4
12
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
field: 47004013
47
4
13
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
field: 47004014
47
4
14
Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
field: 47004015
47
4
15
For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
field: 47004016
47
4
16
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
field: 47004017
47
4
17
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
field: 47004018
47
4
18
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
field: 47005001
47
5
1
For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
field: 47005002
47
5
2
For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
field: 47005003
47
5
3
If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
field: 47005004
47
5
4
For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
field: 47005005
47
5
5
Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
field: 47005006
47
5
6
Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
field: 47005007
47
5
7
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
field: 47005008
47
5
8
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
field: 47005009
47
5
9
Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
field: 47005010
47
5
10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
field: 47005011
47
5
11
Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
field: 47005012
47
5
12
For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.
field: 47005013
47
5
13
For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
field: 47005014
47
5
14
For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
field: 47005015
47
5
15
And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
field: 47005016
47
5
16
Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
field: 47005017
47
5
17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
field: 47005018
47
5
18
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
field: 47005019
47
5
19
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
field: 47005020
47
5
20
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
field: 47005021
47
5
21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
field: 47006001
47
6
1
We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
field: 47006002
47
6
2
(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
field: 47006003
47
6
3
Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
field: 47006004
47
6
4
But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
field: 47006005
47
6
5
In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
field: 47006006
47
6
6
By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
field: 47006007
47
6
7
By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
field: 47006008
47
6
8
By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
field: 47006009
47
6
9
As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
field: 47006010
47
6
10
As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
field: 47006011
47
6
11
O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
field: 47006012
47
6
12
Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
field: 47006013
47
6
13
Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.
field: 47006014
47
6
14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
field: 47006015
47
6
15
And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
field: 47006016
47
6
16
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
field: 47006017
47
6
17
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
field: 47006018
47
6
18
And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
field: 47007001
47
7
1
Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
field: 47007002
47
7
2
Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
field: 47007003
47
7
3
I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.
field: 47007004
47
7
4
Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.
field: 47007005
47
7
5
For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.
field: 47007006
47
7
6
Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
field: 47007007
47
7
7
And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.
field: 47007008
47
7
8
For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
field: 47007009
47
7
9
Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
field: 47007010
47
7
10
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
field: 47007011
47
7
11
For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
field: 47007012
47
7
12
Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
field: 47007013
47
7
13
Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
field: 47007014
47
7
14
For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.
field: 47007015
47
7
15
And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
field: 47007016
47
7
16
I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
field: 47008001
47
8
1
Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
field: 47008002
47
8
2
How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
field: 47008003
47
8
3
For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
field: 47008004
47
8
4
Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
field: 47008005
47
8
5
And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
field: 47008006
47
8
6
Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
field: 47008007
47
8
7
Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
field: 47008008
47
8
8
I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
field: 47008009
47
8
9
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
field: 47008010
47
8
10
And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
field: 47008011
47
8
11
Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.
field: 47008012
47
8
12
For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
field: 47008013
47
8
13
For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
field: 47008014
47
8
14
But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:
field: 47008015
47
8
15
As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.
field: 47008016
47
8
16
But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
field: 47008017
47
8
17
For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
field: 47008018
47
8
18
And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;
field: 47008019
47
8
19
And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:
field: 47008020
47
8
20
Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
field: 47008021
47
8
21
Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
field: 47008022
47
8
22
And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.
field: 47008023
47
8
23
Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.
field: 47008024
47
8
24
Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
field: 47009001
47
9
1
For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
field: 47009002
47
9
2
For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.
field: 47009003
47
9
3
Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:
field: 47009004
47
9
4
Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.
field: 47009005
47
9
5
Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.
field: 47009006
47
9
6
But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
field: 47009007
47
9
7
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
field: 47009008
47
9
8
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
field: 47009009
47
9
9
(As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
field: 47009010
47
9
10
Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
field: 47009011
47
9
11
Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
field: 47009012
47
9
12
For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
field: 47009013
47
9
13
Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;
field: 47009014
47
9
14
And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.
field: 47009015
47
9
15
Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
field: 47010001
47
10
1
Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
field: 47010002
47
10
2
But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
field: 47010003
47
10
3
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
field: 47010004
47
10
4
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
field: 47010005
47
10
5
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
field: 47010006
47
10
6
And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
field: 47010007
47
10
7
Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.
field: 47010008
47
10
8
For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
field: 47010009
47
10
9
That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
field: 47010010
47
10
10
For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
field: 47010011
47
10
11
Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.
field: 47010012
47
10
12
For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
field: 47010013
47
10
13
But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
field: 47010014
47
10
14
For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:
field: 47010015
47
10
15
Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
field: 47010016
47
10
16
To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.
field: 47010017
47
10
17
But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
field: 47010018
47
10
18
For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
field: 47011001
47
11
1
Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
field: 47011002
47
11
2
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
field: 47011003
47
11
3
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
field: 47011004
47
11
4
For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
field: 47011005
47
11
5
For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
field: 47011006
47
11
6
But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
field: 47011007
47
11
7
Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
field: 47011008
47
11
8
I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.
field: 47011009
47
11
9
And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.
field: 47011010
47
11
10
As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
field: 47011011
47
11
11
Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
field: 47011012
47
11
12
But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
field: 47011013
47
11
13
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
field: 47011014
47
11
14
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
field: 47011015
47
11
15
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
field: 47011016
47
11
16
I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
field: 47011017
47

That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
field: 47011018
47
11
18
Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
field: 47011019
47
11
19
For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
field: 47011020
47
11
20
For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
field: 47011021
47
11
21
I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
field: 47011022

22
Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
field: 47011023
47
11
23
Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
field: 47011024
47
11
24
Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
field: 47011025
47
11
25
Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
field: 47011026
47
11
26
In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
field: 47011027
47
11
27
In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
field: 47011028
47
11
28
Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
field: 47011029
47
11
29
Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?
field: 47011030
47
11
30
If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
field: 47011031
47
11
31
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
field: 47011032
47
11
32
In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
field: 47011033
47
11
33
And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
field: 47012001
47
12
1
It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
field: 47012002
47
12
2
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
field: 47012003
47
12
3
And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
field: 47012004
47
12
4
How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
field: 47012005
47
12
5
Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
field: 47012006
47
12
6
For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
field: 47012007
47
12
7
And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
field: 47012008
47
12
8
For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
field: 47012009
47
12
9
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
field: 47012010
47
12
10
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
field: 47012011
47
12
11
I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
field: 47012012
47
12
12
Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
field: 47012013
47
12
13
For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
field: 47012014
47
12
14
Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not your's but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
field: 47012015
47
12
15
And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
field: 47012016
47
12
16
But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
field: 47012017
47
12
17
Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?
field: 47012018
47
12
18
I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
field: 47012019
47
12
19
Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
field: 47012020
47
12
20
For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
field: 47012021
47
12
21
And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
field: 47013001
47
13
1
This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
field: 47013002
47
13
2
I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:
field: 47013003
47
13
3
Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
field: 47013004
47
13
4
For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.
field: 47013005
47
13
5
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
field: 47013006
47
13
6
But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
field: 47013007
47
13
7
Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
field: 47013008
47
13
8
For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
field: 47013009
47
13
9
For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
field: 47013010
47
13
10
Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.
field: 47013011
47
13
11
Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
field: 47013012
47
13
12
Greet one another with an holy kiss.
field: 47013013
47
13
13
All the saints salute you.
field: 47013014
47
13
14
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
field: 48001001

Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
field: 48001002
48
1
2
And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
field: 48001003
48
1
3
Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
field: 48001004
48
1
4
Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
field: 48001005
48
1
5
To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
field: 48001006
48
1
6
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
field: 48001007
48
1
7
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
field: 48001008
48
1
8
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
field: 48001009
48
1
9
As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
field: 48001010
48
1
10
For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
field: 48001011
48
1
11
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
field: 48001012
48
1
12
For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
field: 48001013
48
1
13
For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
field: 48001014
48
1
14
And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
field: 48001015
48
1
15
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
field: 48001016
48
1
16
To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
field: 48001017
48
1
17
Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
field: 48001018
48
1
18
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
field: 48001019
48
1
19
But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
field: 48001020
48
1
20
Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
field: 48001021
48
1
21
Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
field: 48001022
48
1
22
And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
field: 48001023
48
1
23
But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
field: 48001024
48
1
24
And they glorified God in me.
field: 48002001
48
2
1
Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
field: 48002002
48
2
2
And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
field: 48002003
48
2
3
But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
field: 48002004
48
2
4
And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
field: 48002005
48
2
5
To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
field: 48002006
48
2
6
But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
field: 48002007
48
2
7
But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
field: 48002008
48
2
8
(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
field: 48002009
48
2
9
And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
field: 48002010
48
2
10
Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
field: 48002011
48
2
11
But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
field: 48002012
48
2
12
For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
field: 48002013
48
2
13
And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
field: 48002014
48
2
14
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
field: 48002015
48
2
15
We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
field: 48002016
48
2
16
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
field: 48002017
48
2
17
But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
field: 48002018
48
2
18
For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
field: 48002019
48
2
19
For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
field: 48002020
48
2
20
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.
field: 48002021
48
2
21
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
field: 48003001
48
3
1
O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
field: 48003002
48
3
2
This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
field: 48003003
48
3
3
Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
field: 48003004
48
3
4
Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
field: 48003005
48
3
5
He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
field: 48003006
48
3
6
Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
field: 48003007
48
3
7
Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
field: 48003008
48
3
8
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
field: 48003009
48
3
9
So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
field: 48003010
48
3
10
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
field: 48003011
48
3
11
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
field: 48003012
48
3
12
And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
field: 48003013
48
3
13
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
field: 48003014
48
3
14
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
field: 48003015
48
3
15
Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
field: 48003016
48
3
16
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
field: 48003017
48
3
17
And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
field: 48003018
48
3
18
For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
field: 48003019
48
3
19
Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
field: 48003020
48
3
20
Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
field: 48003021
48
3
21
Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
field: 48003022
48
3
22
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
field: 48003023
48
3
23
But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
field: 48003024
48
3
24
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
field: 48003025
48
3
25
But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
field: 48003026
48
3
26
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
field: 48003027
48
3
27
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
field: 48003028
48
3
28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
field: 48003029
48
3
29
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
field: 48004001
48
4
1
Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
field: 48004002
48
4
2
But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
field: 48004003
48
4
3
Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
field: 48004004
48
4
4
But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
field: 48004005
48
4
5
To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
field: 48004006
48
4
6
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
field: 48004007
48
4
7
Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
field: 48004008
48
4
8
Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
field: 48004009
48
4
9
But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
field: 48004010
48
4
10
Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
field: 48004011
48
4
11
I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
field: 48004012
48
4
12
Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all.
field: 48004013
48
4
13
Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.
field: 48004014
48
4
14
And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
field: 48004015
48
4
15
Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
field: 48004016
48
4
16
Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
field: 48004017
48
4
17
They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.
field: 48004018
48
4
18
But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
field: 48004019
48
4
19
My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,

I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.

21
Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
field: 48004022
48

22
For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
field: 48004023
48
4
23
But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
field: 48004024
48
4
24
Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
field: 48004025
48
4
25
For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
field: 48004026
48
4
26
But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
field: 48004027
48
4
27
For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
field: 48004028
48
4
28
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
field: 48004029
48
4
29
But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
field: 48004030
48
4
30
Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
field: 48004031
48
4
31
So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
field: 48005001
48
5
1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
field: 48005002
48

2
Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
field: 48005003
48
5
3
For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
field: 48005004
48
5
4
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
field: 48005005
48
5
5
For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
field: 48005006
48
5
6
For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
field: 48005007
48
5
7
Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
field: 48005008
48
5
8
This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
field: 48005009
48
5
9
A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
field: 48005010
48
5
10
I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
field: 48005011
48
5
11
And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
field: 48005012
48
5
12
I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
field: 48005013
48
5
13
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
field: 48005014
48
5
14
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
field: 48005015
48
5
15
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
field: 48005016
48
5
16
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
field: 48005017
48
5
17
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
field: 48005018
48
5
18
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
field: 48005019
48
5
19
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
field: 48005020
48
5
20
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
field: 48005021
48
5
21
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
field: 48005022
48
5
22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
field: 48005023
48
5
23
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
field: 48005024
48
5
24
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
field: 48005025
48
5
25
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
field: 48005026
48
5
26
Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
field: 48006001

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.
field: 48006002
48
6
2
Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
field: 48006003
48
6
3
For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
field: 48006004
48
6
4
But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
field: 48006005
48
6
5
For every man shall bear his own burden.
field: 48006006
48
6
6
Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
field: 48006007
48
6
7
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
field: 48006008
48
6
8
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
field: 48006009
48
6
9
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
field: 48006010
48
6
10
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
field: 48006011
48

11
Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
field: 48006012
48
6
12
As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
field: 48006013
48
6
13
For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
field: 48006014
48
6
14
But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
field: 48006015
48
6
15
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
field: 48006016
48
6
16
And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
field: 48006017
48
6
17
From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
field: 48006018

Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

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:
field: 49001002
49

2
Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
field: 49001003
49

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
field: 49001004
49
1
4
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
field: 49001005
49
1
5
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
field: 49001006
49
1
6
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
field: 49001007
49
1
7
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
field: 49001008
49
1
8
Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
field: 49001009
49
1
9
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
field: 49001010
49
1
10
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
field: 49001011
49
1
11
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
field: 49001012
49
1
12
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
field: 49001013
49
1
13
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
field: 49001014
49
1
14
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
field: 49001015
49
1
15
Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
field: 49001016
49
1
16
Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
field: 49001017
49
1
17
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
field: 49001018
49
1
18
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
field: 49001019
49
1
19
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
field: 49001020
49
1
20
Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
field: 49001021
49
1
21
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
field: 49001022
49
1
22
And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
field: 49001023
49
1
23
Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
field: 49002001
49
2
1
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
field: 49002002
49
2
2
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
field: 49002003
49
2
3
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
field: 49002004
49
2
4
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
field: 49002005
49
2
5
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
field: 49002006
49
2
6
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
field: 49002007
49
2
7
That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
field: 49002008
49
2
8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
field: 49002009
49
2
9
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
field: 49002010
49
2
10
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
field: 49002011
49
2
11
Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
field: 49002012
49
2
12
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
field: 49002013
49
2
13
But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
field: 49002014
49
2
14
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
field: 49002015
49
2
15
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
field: 49002016
49
2
16
And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
field: 49002017
49
2
17
And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
field: 49002018
49
2
18
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
field: 49002019
49
2
19
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
field: 49002020
49
2
20
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
field: 49002021
49
2
21
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
field: 49002022
49
2
22
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
field: 49003001
49

1
For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
field: 49003002
49
3
2
If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
field: 49003003
49
3
3
How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
field: 49003004
49
3
4
Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
field: 49003005
49
3
5
Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
field: 49003006
49
3
6
That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
field: 49003007
49
3
7
Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
field: 49003008
49
3
8
Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
field: 49003009
49
3
9
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
field: 49003010
49
3
10
To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
field: 49003011
49
3
11
According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
field: 49003012
49
3
12
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
field: 49003013
49
3
13
Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
field: 49003014
49
3
14
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
field: 49003015
49
3
15
Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
field: 49003016
49
3
16
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
field: 49003017
49
3
17
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
field: 49003018
49
3
18
May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
field: 49003019
49
3
19
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
field: 49003020
49
3
20
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
field: 49003021
49
3
21
Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
field: 49004001
49
4
1
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
field: 49004002
49
4
2
With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
field: 49004003
49
4
3
Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
field: 49004004
49
4
4
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
field: 49004005
49
4
5
One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
field: 49004006
49
4
6
One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
field: 49004007
49
4
7
But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
field: 49004008

Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
field: 49004009
49
4
9
(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
field: 49004010
49
4
10
He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
field: 49004011
49
4
11
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
field: 49004012
49
4
12
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
field: 49004013
49
4
13
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
field: 49004014
49
4
14
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
field: 49004015
49
4
15
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
field: 49004016
49
4
16
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
field: 49004017
49
4
17
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
field: 49004018
49
4
18
Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
field: 49004019
49
4
19
Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
field: 49004020
49
4
20
But ye have not so learned Christ;
field: 49004021
49
4
21
If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
field: 49004022
49
4
22
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
field: 49004023
49
4
23
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
field: 49004024
49
4
24
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
field: 49004025
49
4
25
Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
field: 49004026
49
4
26
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
field: 49004027
49
4
27
Neither give place to the devil.
field: 49004028
49
4
28
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
field: 49004029
49
4
29
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
field: 49004030
49
4
30
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
field: 49004031
49
4
31
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
field: 49004032
49
4
32
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
field: 49005001
49
5
1
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
field: 49005002
49
5
2
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
field: 49005003
49
5
3
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
field: 49005005

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.
field: 49005006
49
5
6
Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
field: 49005007
49
5
7
Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
field: 49005008
49
5
8
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
field: 49005009
49
5
9
(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
field: 49005010
49
5
10
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
field: 49005011
49
5
11
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
field: 49005012
49
5
12
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
field: 49005013
49
5
13
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
field: 49005014
49
5
14
Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
field: 49005015
49
5
15
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
field: 49005016
49
5
16
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
field: 49005017
49
5
17
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
field: 49005018
49
5
18
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
field: 49005019
49
5
19
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
field: 49005020
49
5
20
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
field: 49005021
49
5
21
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
field: 49005022
49
5
22
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
field: 49005023
49
5
23
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
field: 49005024
49
5
24
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
field: 49005025
49
5
25
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
field: 49005026
49
5
26
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
field: 49005027
49
5
27
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
field: 49005028
49
5
28
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
field: 49005029
49
5
29
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
field: 49005030
49
5
30
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
field: 49005031
49
5
31
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
field: 49005032
49
5
32
This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
field: 49005033
49
5
33
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
field: 49006001
49
6
1
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
field: 49006002
49
6
2
Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
field: 49006003
49
6
3
That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
field: 49006004
49
6
4
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
field: 49006005
49
6
5
Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
field: 49006006
49
6
6
Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
field: 49006007
49
6
7
With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
field: 49006008
49
6
8
Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
field: 49006009
49
6
9
And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
field: 49006010
49
6
10
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
field: 49006011
49
6
11
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
field: 49006012
49
6
12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
field: 49006013
49
6
13
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
field: 49006014
49
6
14
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
field: 49006015
49
6
15
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
field: 49006016
49
6
16
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
field: 49006017
49
6
17
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
field: 49006018
49
6
18
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
field: 49006019
49
6
19
And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
field: 49006020
49
6
20
For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
field: 49006021
49
6
21
But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
field: 49006022
49
6
22
Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
field: 49006023
49
6
23
Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
field: 49006024
49
6
24
Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
field: 50001001

Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
field: 50001002
50
1
2
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
field: 50001003
50
1
3
I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
field: 50001004
50
1
4
Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
field: 50001005
50
1
5
For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
field: 50001006
50
1
6
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
field: 50001007
50
1
7
Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
field: 50001008
50
1
8
For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
field: 50001009
50
1
9
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
field: 50001010
50
1
10
That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.
field: 50001011
50
1
11
Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
field: 50001012
50
1
12
But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
field: 50001013
50
1
13
So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;
field: 50001014
50
1
14
And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
field: 50001015
50
1
15
Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
field: 50001016
50
1
16
The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
field: 50001017
50
1
17
But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
field: 50001018
50
1
18
What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
field: 50001019
50
1
19
For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
field: 50001020
50
1
20
According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
field: 50001021
50
1
21
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
field: 50001022
50
1
22
But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
field: 50001023
50
1
23
For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
field: 50001024
50
1
24
Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
field: 50001025
50
1
25
And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
field: 50001026
50
1
26
That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
field: 50001027
50
1
27
Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
field: 50001028
50
1
28
And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
field: 50001029
50
1
29
For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
field: 50001030
50
1
30
Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
field: 50002001
50
2
1
If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
field: 50002002
50
2
2
Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
field: 50002003
50
2
3
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
field: 50002004
50
2
4
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
field: 50002005
50
2
5
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
field: 50002006
50
2
6
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
field: 50002007
50
2
7
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
field: 50002008
50
2
8
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
field: 50002009
50
2
9
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
field: 50002010
50
2
10
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
field: 50002011
50
2
11
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
field: 50002012
50
2
12
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
field: 50002013
50
2
13
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
field: 50002014
50
2
14
Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
field: 50002015
50
2
15
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
field: 50002016
50
2
16
Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
field: 50002017
50
2
17
Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
field: 50002018
50
2
18
For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
field: 50002019
50
2
19
But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
field: 50002020
50
2
20
For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
field: 50002021
50
2
21
For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.
field: 50002022
50
2
22
But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
field: 50002023
50
2
23
Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
field: 50002024
50
2
24
But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
field: 50002025
50
2
25
Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
field: 50002026
50
2
26
For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.
field: 50002027
50
2
27
For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
field: 50002028
50
2
28
I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
field: 50002029
50
2
29
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:
field: 50002030
50
2
30
Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
field: 50003001
50
3
1
Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
field: 50003002
50
3
2
Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
field: 50003003
50
3
3
For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
field: 50003004
50
3
4
Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
field: 50003005
50
3
5
Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
field: 50003006
50
3
6
Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
field: 50003007
50
3
7
But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
field: 50003008
50
3
8
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
field: 50003009
50
3
9
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
field: 50003010
50
3
10
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
field: 50003011
50
3
11
If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
field: 50003012
50
3
12
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
field: 50003013
50
3
13
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
field: 50003014
50
3
14
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
field: 50003015
50
3
15
Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
field: 50003016
50
3
16
Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
field: 50003017
50
3
17
Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
field: 50003018
50
3
18
(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
field: 50003019
50
3
19
Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
field: 50003020
50
3
20
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
field: 50003021
50
3
21
Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
field: 50004001
50
4
1
Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
field: 50004002
50
4
2
I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
field: 50004003
50
4
3
And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.
field: 50004004
50
4
4
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
field: 50004005
50
4
5
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
field: 50004006
50
4
6
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
field: 50004007
50
4
7
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
field: 50004008
50
4
8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
field: 50004009
50
4
9
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
field: 50004010
50
4
10
But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
field: 50004011
50
4
11
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
field: 50004012
50
4
12
I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
field: 50004013
50
4
13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
field: 50004014
50
4
14
Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
field: 50004015
50
4
15
Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
field: 50004016
50
4
16
For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
field: 50004017
50
4
17
Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
field: 50004018
50
4
18
But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
field: 50004019
50
4
19
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
field: 50004020
50
4
20
Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
field: 50004021

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,
field: 51001002

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.
field: 51001003

We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
field: 51001004
51

4
Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,
field: 51001005
51
1
5
For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
field: 51001006
51
1
6
Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
field: 51001007
51
1
7
As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
field: 51001008
51
1
8
Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
field: 51001009
51
1
9
For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
field: 51001010
51
1
10
That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
field: 51001011
51
1
11
Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
field: 51001012
51
1
12
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
field: 51001013
51
1
13
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
field: 51001014
51
1
14
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
field: 51001015
51
1
15
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
field: 51001016
51
1
16
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
field: 51001017
51
1
17
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
field: 51001018
51
1
18
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
field: 51001019
51
1
19
For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
field: 51001020
51
1
20
And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
field: 51001021
51
1
21
And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
field: 51001022
51
1
22
In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
field: 51001023
51
1
23
If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
field: 51001024
51
1
24
Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
field: 51001025
51
1
25
Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
field: 51001026
51
1
26
Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
field: 51001027
51
1
27
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
field: 51001028
51
1
28
Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
field: 51001029
51
1
29
Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
field: 51002001
51
2
1
For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
field: 51002002
51
2
2
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
field: 51002003
51
2
3
In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
field: 51002004
51
2
4
And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
field: 51002005
51
2
5
For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
field: 51002006
51
2
6
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
field: 51002007
51
2
7
Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
field: 51002008
51
2
8
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
field: 51002009
51
2
9
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
field: 51002010
51
2
10
And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
field: 51002011
51
2
11
In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
field: 51002012
51
2
12
Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
field: 51002013
51
2
13
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
field: 51002014
51
2
14
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
field: 51002015
51
2
15
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
field: 51002016
51
2
16
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
field: 51002017
51
2
17
Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
field: 51002018
51
2
18
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
field: 51002019
51
2
19
And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
field: 51002020
51
2
20
Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
field: 51002021
51
2
21
(Touch not; taste not; handle not;
field: 51002022
51
2
22
Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
field: 51002023
51
2
23
Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
field: 51003001
51
3
1
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
field: 51003002
51
3
2
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
field: 51003003
51
3
3
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
field: 51003004
51
3
4
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
field: 51003005
51
3
5
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
field: 51003006
51
3
6
For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
field: 51003007
51
3
7
In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
field: 51003008
51
3
8
But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
field: 51003009
51
3
9
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
field: 51003010
51
3
10
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
field: 51003011
51
3
11
Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
field: 51003012
51
3
12
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
field: 51003013
51
3
13
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
field: 51003014
51
3
14
And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
field: 51003015
51
3
15
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
field: 51003016
51
3
16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
field: 51003017
51
3
17
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
field: 51003018
51
3
18
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
field: 51003019
51

19
Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
field: 51003020
51
3
20
Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
field: 51003021
51
3
21
Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
field: 51003022
51

22
Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;
field: 51003023
51
3
23
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
field: 51003024
51
3
24
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
field: 51003025

But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
field: 51004002

Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
field: 51004003
51

3
Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
field: 51004004
51
4
4
That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
field: 51004005
51

Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
field: 51004006

All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:

Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;

With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here.

Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)
field: 51004011
51

11
And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me.
field: 51004012

12
Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
field: 51004013
51

13
For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
field: 51004014

14
Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
field: 51004015

Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.
field: 51004016

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.

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.
field: 52001002
52

2
We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
field: 52001003
52
1
3
Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
field: 52001004
52
1
4
Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
field: 52001005
52

5
For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
field: 52001006
52
1
6
And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost.
field: 52001007
52
1
7
So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
field: 52001008
52
1
8
For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
field: 52001009
52
1
9
For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
field: 52001010
52
1
10
And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
field: 52002001
52
2
1
For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
field: 52002002
52
2
2
But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
field: 52002003
52
2
3
For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
field: 52002004
52
2
4
But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
field: 52002005
52
2
5
For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
field: 52002006
52
2
6
Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
field: 52002007
52
2
7
But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
field: 52002008
52
2
8
So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
field: 52002009
52
2
9
For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
field: 52002010
52
2
10
Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
field: 52002011
52
2
11
As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,
field: 52002012
52
2
12
That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
field: 52002013
52
2
13
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
field: 52002014
52
2
14
For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
field: 52002015
52
2
15
Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
field: 52002016
52
2
16
Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
field: 52002017
52
2
17
But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
field: 52002018
52
2
18
Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
field: 52002019
52
2
19
For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
field: 52002020
52
2
20
For ye are our glory and joy.
field: 52003001
52
3
1
Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;
field: 52003002
52
3
2
And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:
field: 52003003
52
3
3
That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.
field: 52003004
52
3
4
For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.
field: 52003005
52
3
5
For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.
field: 52003006
52
3
6
But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:
field: 52003007
52
3
7
Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:
field: 52003008
52
3
8
For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
field: 52003009
52
3
9
For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;
field: 52003010
52
3
10
Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
field: 52003011
52
3
11
Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
field: 52003012
52
3
12
And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
field: 52003013
52
3
13
To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
field: 52004001
52
4
1
Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.
field: 52004002
52
4
2
For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
field: 52004003
52
4
3
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
field: 52004004
52
4
4
That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
field: 52004005
52
4
5
Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
field: 52004006
52
4
6
That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
field: 52004007
52
4
7
For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
field: 52004008
52
4
8
He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
field: 52004009
52
4
9
But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
field: 52004010

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;
field: 52004011
52
4
11
And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
field: 52004012
52
4
12
That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
field: 52004013
52
4
13
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
field: 52004014
52
4
14
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
field: 52004015
52
4
15
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
field: 52004016
52
4
16
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
field: 52004017
52
4
17
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
field: 52004018
52
4
18
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
field: 52005001
52
5
1
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
field: 52005002
52
5
2
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
field: 52005003
52
5
3
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
field: 52005004
52
5
4
But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
field: 52005005
52
5
5
Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
field: 52005006
52
5
6
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
field: 52005007
52
5
7
For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
field: 52005008
52
5
8
But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
field: 52005009
52
5
9
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
field: 52005010
52
5
10
Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
field: 52005011
52
5
11
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
field: 52005012
52
5
12
And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
field: 52005013
52
5
13
And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
field: 52005014
52
5
14
Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
field: 52005015
52
5
15
See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
field: 52005016
52
5
16
Rejoice evermore.
field: 52005017
52
5
17
Pray without ceasing.
field: 52005018
52
5
18
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
field: 52005019
52
5
19
Quench not the Spirit.
field: 52005020
52
5
20
Despise not prophesyings.
field: 52005021
52
5
21
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
field: 52005022
52
5
22
Abstain from all appearance of evil.
field: 52005023
52
5
23
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
field: 52005024
52
5
24
Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
field: 52005025
52
5
25
Brethren, pray for us.
field: 52005026
52
5
26
Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
field: 52005027
52
5
27
I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
field: 52005028
52
5
28
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
field: 53001001
53

1
Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
field: 53001002
53
1
2
Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
field: 53001003
53
1
3
We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
field: 53001004
53
1
4
So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
field: 53001005
53
1
5
Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
field: 53001006
53
1
6
Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
field: 53001007
53
1
7
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
field: 53001008
53
1
8
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
field: 53001009
53
1
9
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
field: 53001010
53
1
10
When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
field: 53001011
53
1
11
Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
field: 53001012
53
1
12
That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
field: 53002001
53
2
1
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
field: 53002002
53
2
2
That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
field: 53002003
53
2
3
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
field: 53002004
53
2
4
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
field: 53002005
53
2
5
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
field: 53002006
53
2
6
And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
field: 53002007
53
2
7
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
field: 53002008
53
2
8
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
field: 53002009
53
2
9
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
field: 53002010
53
2
10
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
field: 53002011
53
2
11
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
field: 53002012
53
2
12
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
field: 53002013
53
2
13
But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
field: 53002014
53
2
14
Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
field: 53002015
53
2
15
Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
field: 53002016
53
2
16
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
field: 53002017
53
2
17
Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
field: 53003001
53
3
1
Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
field: 53003002
53
3
2
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
field: 53003003
53
3
3
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
field: 53003004
53
3
4
And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.
field: 53003005
53
3
5
And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
field: 53003006
53
3
6
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
field: 53003007
53
3
7
For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
field: 53003008
53
3
8
Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
field: 53003009
53
3
9
Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
field: 53003010
53
3
10
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
field: 53003011
53
3
11
For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
field: 53003012
53
3
12
Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
field: 53003013
53
3
13
But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
field: 53003014
53
3
14
And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
field: 53003015
53
3
15
Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
field: 53003016
53
3
16
Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
field: 53003017
53
3
17
The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.
field: 53003018
53
3
18
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
field: 54001001
54

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
field: 54001002
54
1
2
Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
field: 54001003
54
1
3
As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
field: 54001004
54
1
4
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
field: 54001005
54
1
5
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
field: 54001006
54
1
6
From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
field: 54001007
54
1
7
Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
field: 54001008
54
1
8
But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
field: 54001009
54
1
9
Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
field: 54001010
54
1
10
For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
field: 54001011
54
1
11
According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
field: 54001012
54
1
12
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
field: 54001013
54
1
13
Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
field: 54001014
54
1
14
And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
field: 54001015
54
1
15
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
field: 54001016
54
1
16
Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
field: 54001017
54
1
17
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
field: 54001018
54
1
18
This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
field: 54001019
54
1
19
Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
field: 54001020
54
1
20
Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
field: 54002001
54
2
1
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
field: 54002002
54
2
2
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
field: 54002003
54
2
3
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
field: 54002004
54
2
4
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
field: 54002005
54
2
5
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
field: 54002006
54
2
6
Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
field: 54002007
54
2
7
Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
field: 54002008
54
2
8
I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
field: 54002009
54
2
9
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
field: 54002010
54
2
10
But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
field: 54002011
54
2
11
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
field: 54002012
54
2
12
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
field: 54002013
54
2
13
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
field: 54002014
54
2
14
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
field: 54002015
54
2
15
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
field: 54003001
54

1
This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
field: 54003002
54
3
2
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
field: 54003003
54
3
3
Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
field: 54003004
54
3
4
One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
field: 54003005
54
3
5
(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
field: 54003006
54
3
6
Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
field: 54003007
54
3
7
Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
field: 54003008
54
3
8
Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
field: 54003009
54
3
9
Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
field: 54003010
54
3
10
And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
field: 54003011
54
3
11
Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
field: 54003012
54
3
12
Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
field: 54003013
54
3
13
For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
field: 54003014
54
3
14
These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:
field: 54003015
54
3
15
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
field: 54003016
54
3
16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
field: 54004001
54
4
1
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
field: 54004002
54
4
2
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
field: 54004003
54
4
3
Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
field: 54004004
54
4
4
For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
field: 54004005
54
4
5
For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
field: 54004006
54
4
6
If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
field: 54004007
54
4
7
But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
field: 54004008
54
4
8
For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
field: 54004009
54
4
9
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
field: 54004010
54
4
10
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
field: 54004011
54
4
11
These things command and teach.
field: 54004012
54
4
12
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
field: 54004013
54
4
13
Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
field: 54004014
54
4
14
Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
field: 54004015
54
4
15
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
field: 54004016
54
4
16
Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
field: 54005001
54
5
1
Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
field: 54005002
54
5
2
The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
field: 54005003
54
5
3
Honour widows that are widows indeed.
field: 54005004
54
5
4
But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.
field: 54005005
54
5
5
Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
field: 54005006
54
5
6
But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
field: 54005007
54
5

But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man.
field: 54005010
54

10
Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.
field: 54005011
54
5
11
But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
field: 54005012
54
5
12
Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
field: 54005013
54
5
13
And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
field: 54005014
54
5
14
I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
field: 54005015

For some are already turned aside after Satan.

If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.
field: 54005017

17
Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
field: 54005018
54
5
18
For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
field: 54005019

Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.

Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
field: 54005021

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.
field: 54005022

Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.
field: 54005025

Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

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.
field: 54006002
54
6
2
And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
field: 54006003
54
6
3
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
field: 54006004
54
6
4
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
field: 54006005
54
6
5
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
field: 54006006
54
6
6
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
field: 54006007
54
6
7
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
field: 54006008

And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
field: 54006010
54

10
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
field: 54006011
54
6
11
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
field: 54006012
54

12
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
field: 54006013
54
6
13
I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
field: 54006014
54
6
14
That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
field: 54006015
54
6
15
Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
field: 54006016
54
6
16
Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
field: 54006017
54

17
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
field: 54006018
54
6
18
That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
field: 54006019

19
Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

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;
field: 55001004
55
1
4
Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
field: 55001005
55

5
When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
field: 55001006
55

6
Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
field: 55001007

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
field: 55001009
55
1
9
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
field: 55001010
55
1
10
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
field: 55001011
55

11
Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
field: 55001012
55

12
For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
field: 55001013
55
1
13
Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
field: 55001014
55

14
That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.

This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
field: 55001017
55
1
17
But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
field: 55001018
55

18
The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

1
Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
field: 55002002
55

2
And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
field: 55002003
55
2
3
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
field: 55002004
55

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.

And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
field: 55002009
55
2
9
Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
field: 55002010
55
2
10
Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
field: 55002011

It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
field: 55002012
55
2
12
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
field: 55002013
55
2
13
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
field: 55002014

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.

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
field: 55002016

But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

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.

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.
field: 55002022

Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
field: 55002023

But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
field: 55002026
55

26
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
field: 55003004
55
3
4
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
field: 55003005
55
3
5
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
field: 55003006
55

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

55
3
7
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
field: 55003008

8
Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
field: 55003009
55
3
9
But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.
field: 55003010
55

10
But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
field: 55003011
55

11
Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
field: 55003012
55
3
12
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
field: 55003013
55

13
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
field: 55003014

14
But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
field: 55003015
55

15
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
field: 55003016
55

16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
field: 55004001

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;
field: 55004002
55
4
2
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
field: 55004003
55
4
3
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
field: 55004004
55
4
4
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
field: 55004005
55
4
5
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
field: 55004006

For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:

If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;

Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
field: 56003002
56

2
To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
field: 56003003

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
field: 56003005
56
3
5
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
field: 56003006
56
3
6
Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
field: 56003007
56

That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

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.

But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,

And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:
field: 57001003

Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

57

I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
field: 57001005
57
1
5
Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
field: 57001006
57
1
6
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
field: 57001007
57
1
7
For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
field: 57001008
57
1
8
Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,
field: 57001009
57
1
9
Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
field: 57001010
57
1
10
I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
field: 57001011
57
1
11
Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
field: 57001012
57
1
12
Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
field: 57001013
57
1
13
Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
field: 57001014
57
1
14
But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
field: 57001015
57
1
15
For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;
field: 57001016
57
1
16
Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?
field: 57001017
57
1
17
If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
field: 57001018
57
1
18
If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;
field: 57001019
57
1
19
I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.
field: 57001020
57
1
20
Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
field: 57001021
57
1
21
Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
field: 57001022
57
1
22
But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
field: 58001002
58
1
2
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
field: 58001003
58
1
3
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
field: 58001004
58
1
4
Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
field: 58001005
58
1
5
For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
field: 58001006
58
1
6
And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
field: 58001007
58
1
7
And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
field: 58001008
58
1
8
But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
field: 58001009
58
1
9
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
field: 58001010
58
1
10
And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
field: 58001011
58
1
11
They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
field: 58001012
58
1
12
And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
field: 58001013
58
1
13
But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
field: 58001014
58
1
14
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
field: 58002001
58
2
1
Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
field: 58002002
58
2
2
For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
field: 58002003
58
2
3
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
field: 58002004
58
2
4
God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
field: 58002005
58
2
5
For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
field: 58002006
58
2
6
But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him?
field: 58002007
58
2
7
Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
field: 58002008
58
2
8
Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
field: 58002009
58
2
9
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
field: 58002010
58
2
10
For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
field: 58002011
58
2
11
For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
field: 58002012
58
2
12
Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
field: 58002013
58
2
13
And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
field: 58002014
58
2
14
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
field: 58002015
58
2
15
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
field: 58002016
58
2
16
For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
field: 58002017
58
2
17
Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
field: 58002018
58
2
18
For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
field: 58003001
58
3
1
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
field: 58003002
58
3
2
Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
field: 58003003
58
3
3
For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
field: 58003004
58
3
4
For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
field: 58003005
58
3
5
And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
field: 58003006
58
3
6
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
field: 58003007
58
3
7
Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
field: 58003008
58
3
8
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
field: 58003009
58
3
9
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
field: 58003010
58
3
10
Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
field: 58003011
58
3
11
So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
field: 58003012
58
3
12
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
field: 58003013
58
3
13
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
field: 58003014
58
3
14
For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
field: 58003015
58
3
15
While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
field: 58003016
58
3
16
For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
field: 58003017
58
3
17
But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
field: 58003018
58
3
18
And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
field: 58003019
58
3
19
So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
field: 58004001
58
4
1
Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
field: 58004002
58
4
2
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
field: 58004003
58
4
3
For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
field: 58004004
58
4
4
For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
field: 58004005
58
4
5
And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
field: 58004006
58
4
6
Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
field: 58004007
58
4
7
Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
field: 58004008
58
4
8
For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
field: 58004009
58
4
9
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
field: 58004010
58
4
10
For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
field: 58004011
58
4
11
Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
field: 58004012
58
4
12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
field: 58004013
58
4
13
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
field: 58004014
58
4
14
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
field: 58004015
58
4
15
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
field: 58004016
58
4
16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
field: 58005001
58
5
1
For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
field: 58005002
58
5
2
Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
field: 58005003
58
5
3
And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
field: 58005004
58
5
4
And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
field: 58005005
58
5
5
So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
field: 58005006
58
5
6
As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
field: 58005007
58
5
7
Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
field: 58005008
58
5
8
Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
field: 58005009
58
5
9
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
field: 58005010
58
5
10
Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
field: 58005011
58
5
11
Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
field: 58005012
58
5
12
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
field: 58005013
58
5
13
For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
field: 58005014
58
5
14
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
field: 58006001
58
6
1
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
field: 58006002
58
6
2
Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
field: 58006003
58
6
3
And this will we do, if God permit.
field: 58006004
58
6
4
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
field: 58006005
58
6
5
And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
field: 58006006
58
6
6
If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
field: 58006007
58
6
7
For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
field: 58006008
58
6
8
But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
field: 58006009
58
6
9
But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
field: 58006010
58
6
10
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
field: 58006011
58
6
11
And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
field: 58006012
58
6
12
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
field: 58006013
58
6
13
For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
field: 58006014
58
6
14
Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
field: 58006015
58
6
15
And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
field: 58006016
58
6
16
For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
field: 58006017
58
6
17
Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
field: 58006018
58
6
18
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
field: 58006019
58
6
19
Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
field: 58006020
58
6
20
Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
field: 58007001
58
7
1
For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
field: 58007002
58
7
2
To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
field: 58007003
58
7
3
Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
field: 58007004
58
7
4
Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
field: 58007005
58
7
5
And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
field: 58007006
58
7
6
But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
field: 58007007
58
7
7
And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
field: 58007008
58
7
8
And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
field: 58007009
58
7
9
And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
field: 58007010
58
7
10
For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
field: 58007011
58
7
11
If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
field: 58007012
58
7
12
For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
field: 58007013
58
7
13
For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
field: 58007014
58
7
14
For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
field: 58007015
58
7
15
And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
field: 58007016
58
7
16
Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
field: 58007017
58
7
17
For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
field: 58007018
58
7
18
For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
field: 58007019
58
7
19
For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
field: 58007020
58
7
20
And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
field: 58007021
58
7
21
(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
field: 58007022
58
7
22
By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
field: 58007023
58
7
23
And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
field: 58007024
58
7
24
But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
field: 58007025
58
7
25
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
field: 58007026
58
7
26
For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
field: 58007027
58
7
27
Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
field: 58007028
58
7
28
For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
field: 58008001
58
8
1
Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
field: 58008002
58
8
2
A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
field: 58008003
58
8
3
For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
field: 58008004
58
8
4
For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
field: 58008005
58
8
5
Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
field: 58008006
58
8
6
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
field: 58008007
58
8
7
For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
field: 58008008
58
8
8
For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
field: 58008009
58
8
9
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
field: 58008010
58
8
10
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
field: 58008011
58
8
11
And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
field: 58008012
58
8
12
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
field: 58008013
58
8
13
In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
field: 58009001
58
9
1
Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
field: 58009002
58
9
2
For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.
field: 58009003
58
9
3
And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;
field: 58009004
58
9
4
Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
field: 58009005
58
9
5
And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.
field: 58009006
58
9
6
Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.
field: 58009007
58
9
7
But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
field: 58009008
58
9
8
The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
field: 58009009
58
9
9
Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
field: 58009010
58
9
10
Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
field: 58009011
58
9
11
But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
field: 58009012
58
9
12
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
field: 58009013
58
9
13
For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
field: 58009014
58
9
14
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
field: 58009015
58
9
15
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
field: 58009016
58
9
16
For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
field: 58009017
58
9
17
For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
field: 58009018
58
9
18
Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
field: 58009019
58
9
19
For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
field: 58009020
58
9
20
Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
field: 58009021
58
9
21
Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
field: 58009022
58
9
22
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
field: 58009023
58
9
23
It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
field: 58009024
58
9
24
For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
field: 58009025
58
9
25
Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
field: 58009026
58
9
26
For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
field: 58009027
58
9
27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
field: 58009028
58
9
28
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
field: 58010001
58
10
1
For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
field: 58010002
58
10
2
For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
field: 58010003
58
10
3
But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
field: 58010004
58
10
4
For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
field: 58010005
58
10
5
Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
field: 58010006
58
10
6
In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
field: 58010007
58
10
7
Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
field: 58010008
58
10
8
Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
field: 58010009
58
10
9
Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
field: 58010010
58
10
10
By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
field: 58010011
58
10
11
And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
field: 58010012
58
10
12
But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
field: 58010013
58
10
13
From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
field: 58010014
58
10
14
For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
field: 58010015
58
10
15
Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
field: 58010016
58
10
16
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
field: 58010017
58
10
17
And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
field: 58010018
58
10
18
Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
field: 58010019
58
10
19
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
field: 58010020
58
10
20
By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
field: 58010021
58
10
21
And having an high priest over the house of God;
field: 58010022
58
10
22
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
field: 58010023
58
10
23
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
field: 58010024
58
10
24
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
field: 58010025
58
10
25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
field: 58010026
58
10
26
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
field: 58010027
58
10
27
But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
field: 58010028
58
10
28
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
field: 58010029
58
10
29
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
field: 58010030
58
10
30
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
field: 58010031
58
10
31
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
field: 58010032
58
10
32
But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
field: 58010033
58
10
33
Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.
field: 58010034
58
10
34
For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
field: 58010035
58
10
35
Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
field: 58010036
58
10
36
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
field: 58010037
58
10
37
For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
field: 58010038
58
10
38
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
field: 58010039
58
10
39
But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
field: 58011001
58
11
1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
field: 58011002
58
11
2
For by it the elders obtained a good report.
field: 58011003
58
11
3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
field: 58011004
58
11
4
By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
field: 58011005
58
11
5
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
field: 58011006
58
11
6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
field: 58011007
58
11
7
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
field: 58011008
58
11
8
By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
field: 58011009
58
11
9
By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
field: 58011010
58
11
10
For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
field: 58011011
58
11
11
Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
field: 58011012
58
11
12
Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
field: 58011013
58
11
13
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
field: 58011014
58
11
14
For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
field: 58011015
58
11
15
And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
field: 58011016
58
11
16
But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
field: 58011017
58
11
17
By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
field: 58011018
58
11
18
Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
field: 58011019
58
11
19
Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
field: 58011020
58
11
20
By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
field: 58011021
58
11
21
By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
field: 58011022
58
11
22
By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
field: 58011023
58
11
23
By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
field: 58011024
58
11
24
By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
field: 58011025
58
11
25
Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
field: 58011026
58
11
26
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
field: 58011027
58
11
27
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
field: 58011028
58
11
28
Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
field: 58011029
58
11
29
By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
field: 58011030
58
11
30
By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.
field: 58011031
58
11
31
By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
field: 58011032
58
11
32
And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
field: 58011033
58
11
33
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.
field: 58011034
58
11
34
Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
field: 58011035
58
11
35
Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
field: 58011036
58
11
36
And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
field: 58011037
58
11
37
They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
field: 58011038
58
11
38
(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
field: 58011039
58
11
39
And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
field: 58011040
58
11
40
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
field: 58012001
58
12
1
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
field: 58012002
58
12
2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
field: 58012003
58
12
3
For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
field: 58012004
58
12
4
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
field: 58012005
58
12
5
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
field: 58012006
58

For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
field: 58012007
58
12
7
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
field: 58012008
58
12
8
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
field: 58012009
58

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?
field: 58012010
58
12
10
For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
field: 58012011
58
12
11
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
field: 58012012
58
12
12
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
field: 58012013
58
12
13
And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
field: 58012014
58
12
14
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
field: 58012015
58
12
15
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
field: 58012016
58
12
16
Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
field: 58012017
58
12
17
For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
field: 58012018

For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
field: 58012019
58
12
19
And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
field: 58012020
58
12
20
(For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
field: 58012021
58
12
21
And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
field: 58012022
58

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,
field: 58012023
58

23
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
field: 58012024
58
12
24
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things that that of Abel.
field: 58012025
58
12
25
See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
field: 58012026
58
12
26
Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
field: 58012027
58
12
27
And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
field: 58012028
58
12
28
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

For our God is a consuming fire.

Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

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.
field: 58013006
58
13
6
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
field: 58013007

Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.

For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
field: 58013012

12
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
field: 58013014

For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
field: 58013015

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.
field: 58013016
58
13
16
But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
field: 58013017
58

17
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.

And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

2
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
field: 59001003
59
1
3
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
field: 59001004
59
1
4
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
field: 59001005
59

5
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
field: 59001006
59
1
6
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
field: 59001007
59
1
7
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
field: 59001008
59

8
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
field: 59001009

Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
field: 59001010
59
1
10
But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
field: 59001011
59
1
11
For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
field: 59001012
59
1
12
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
field: 59001013
59
1
13
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
field: 59001014
59
1
14
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
field: 59001015
59
1
15
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
field: 59001016
59
1
16
Do not err, my beloved brethren.
field: 59001017
59
1
17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
field: 59001018
59
1
18
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
field: 59001019
59
1
19
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
field: 59001020
59
1
20
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
field: 59001021
59
1
21
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
field: 59001022
59
1
22
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
field: 59001023
59
1
23
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
field: 59001024
59
1
24
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
field: 59001025
59
1
25
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
field: 59001026
59
1

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.
field: 59001027
59

27
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
field: 59002002
59
2
2
For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
field: 59002003
59
2
3
And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
field: 59002004
59
2
4
Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
field: 59002005
59
2
5
Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
field: 59002006
59
2
6
But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
field: 59002007
59
2
7
Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
field: 59002008
59
2
8
If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
field: 59002009
59
2
9
But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
field: 59002010
59
2
10
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
field: 59002011
59
2
11
For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
field: 59002012
59
2
12
So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
field: 59002013
59
2
13
For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
field: 59002014
59
2
14
What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
field: 59002015
59
2
15
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
field: 59002016
59
2
16
And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
field: 59002017
59
2
17
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
field: 59002018
59
2
18
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
field: 59002019
59
2
19
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
field: 59002020
59
2
20
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
field: 59002021
59
2
21
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
field: 59002022
59
2
22
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
field: 59002023
59
2
23
And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
field: 59002024
59
2
24
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
field: 59002025
59
2
25
Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
field: 59002026
59

26
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
field: 59003001

My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
field: 59003002
59
3
2
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
field: 59003003
59

3
Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.

Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.

Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
field: 59003006
59
3
6
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
field: 59003007
59

7
For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
field: 59003008
59

8
But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
field: 59003009
59
3
9
Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
field: 59003010
59
3
10
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
field: 59003011

11
Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
field: 59003012
59
3
12
Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
field: 59003013
59
3
13
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
field: 59003014
59
3
14
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
field: 59003015
59
3
15
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
field: 59003016
59
3
16
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
field: 59003017
59
3
17
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
field: 59003018
59
3
18
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
field: 59004002
59

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.
field: 59004003
59

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
field: 59004008

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
field: 59004011

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.

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:
field: 59004014
59

14
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
field: 59004015
59
4
15
For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
field: 59004016
59
4
16
But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
field: 59004017

17
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
field: 59005001

Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
field: 59005002
59
5
2
Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
field: 59005003
59
5
3
Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
field: 59005004
59
5
4
Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
field: 59005005
59
5
5
Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
field: 59005006
59
5
6
Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
field: 59005007
59
5
7
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
field: 59005008
59
5
8
Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
field: 59005009
59
5
9
Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
field: 59005010
59
5
10
Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
field: 59005011
59
5
11
Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
field: 59005012
59
5

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.

Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
field: 59005015
59

15
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
field: 59005016

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.

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.

And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

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.

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,
field: 60001004

To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

60

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
field: 60001006

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
field: 60001007
60
1
7
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
field: 60001008
60
1

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:
field: 60001009

Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
field: 60001010

Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:

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;
field: 60001014
60
1
14
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
field: 60001015
60
1
15
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
field: 60001016
60
1
16
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
field: 60001018
60
1
18
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
field: 60001019
60
1
19
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
field: 60001020
60
1
20
Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
field: 60001021
60
1
21
Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
field: 60001022
60

22
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
field: 60001023
60

23
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
field: 60001024

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:
field: 60001025

25
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
field: 60002001

Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings,
field: 60002002
60
2
2
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
field: 60002005
60
2
5
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
field: 60002006
60

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.
field: 60002007
60
2
7
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
field: 60002008
60
2
8
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
field: 60002009
60
2
9
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
field: 60002010
60
2
10
Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
field: 60002012
60
2
12
Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
field: 60002013
60
2
13
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
field: 60002014
60
2
14
Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
field: 60002015
60
2
15
For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
field: 60002016
60
2
16
As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
field: 60002017
60
2
17
Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
field: 60002018
60
2
18
Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
field: 60002019
60
2
19
For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
field: 60002020
60
2
20
For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
field: 60002021
60
2
21
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
field: 60002022
60
2
22
Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
field: 60002023
60
2
23
Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
field: 60002024
60
2
24
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
field: 60002025
60
2
25
For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
field: 60003001
60

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;
field: 60003002
60
3
2
While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
field: 60003003
60
3
3
Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
field: 60003004
60
3
4
But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
field: 60003005
60
3
5
For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
field: 60003006
60
3
6
Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
field: 60003007
60
3
7
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
field: 60003008
60
3
8
Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
field: 60003009
60
3
9
Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
field: 60003010
60
3
10
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
field: 60003011
60
3
11
Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
field: 60003012
60
3
12
For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
field: 60003013
60
3
13
And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
field: 60003014
60
3
14
But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
field: 60003015
60
3
15
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
field: 60003016
60
3
16
Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
field: 60003017
60
3
17
For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
field: 60003018
60

18
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
field: 60003019
60
3
19
By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
field: 60003020
60
3
20
Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
field: 60003021
60
3
21
The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
field: 60003022
60
3
22
Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
field: 60004001
60

1
Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
field: 60004002
60
4
2
That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
field: 60004003
60
4
3
For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
field: 60004004
60
4
4
Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
field: 60004005
60
4
5
Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
field: 60004006
60
4
6
For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
field: 60004007
60
4
7
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
field: 60004008
60
4
8
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
field: 60004009
60
4
9
Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
field: 60004010
60
4
10
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
field: 60004011
60
4
11
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
field: 60004012
60
4
12
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
field: 60004013
60
4
13
But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
field: 60004014
60
4
14
If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
field: 60004015
60
4
15
But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
field: 60004016
60
4
16
Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
field: 60004017
60
4
17
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
field: 60004018
60
4
18
And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
field: 60004019
60
4
19
Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
field: 60005001

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:
field: 60005002
60
5
2
Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
field: 60005003
60
5
3
Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
field: 60005004
60
5
4
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
field: 60005005
60
5
5
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
field: 60005006
60
5
6
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
field: 60005007
60
5
7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
field: 60005008
60
5
8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
field: 60005009
60
5
9
Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
field: 60005010
60
5
10
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
field: 60005011
60
5
11
To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

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.

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:
field: 61001002
61
1
2
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
field: 61001003
61
1
3
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
field: 61001004
61
1
4
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
field: 61001005
61
1
5
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
field: 61001006
61
1
6
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
field: 61001007
61
1
7
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
field: 61001008
61
1
8
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
field: 61001009
61
1
9
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
field: 61001010
61
1
10
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
field: 61001011
61
1
11
For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
field: 61001012
61
1
12
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
field: 61001013
61
1
13
Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
field: 61001014
61
1
14
Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
field: 61001015
61
1
15
Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
field: 61001016
61
1
16
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
field: 61001017
61
1
17
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
field: 61001018
61

18
And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
field: 61001019
61

19
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
field: 61001020
61
1
20
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
field: 61001021
61
1
21
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
field: 61002001
61
2
1
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
field: 61002002
61
2
2
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
field: 61002003
61
2
3
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
field: 61002004
61

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;
field: 61002005
61

5
And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
field: 61002006
61
2
6
And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
field: 61002007
61
2
7
And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
field: 61002008
61

(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

10
But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
field: 61002011
61

11
Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
field: 61002012

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;
field: 61002013
61
2
13
And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
field: 61002014
61
2
14
Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
field: 61002015
61
2
15
Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
field: 61002020

For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.

But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
field: 61003002
61
3
2
That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
field: 61003003
61
3
3
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
field: 61003004
61
3
4
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
field: 61003005
61

5
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
field: 61003006
61
3
6
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
field: 61003007
61
3
7
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
field: 61003008
61
3
8
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
field: 61003009
61

9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
field: 61003010
61

10
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
field: 61003011
61
3
11
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
field: 61003012
61
3
12
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
field: 61003013
61
3
13
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
field: 61003014
61
3
14
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
field: 61003015
61
3
15
And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
field: 61003016
61
3
16
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
field: 61003017
61
3
17
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
field: 61003018
61

18
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

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;
field: 62001002
62

(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;)
field: 62001003
62

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.
field: 62001004
62

And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

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.
field: 62001006
62
1
6
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
field: 62001007
62
1
7
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
field: 62001008
62
1
8
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
field: 62001009
62
1
9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
field: 62001010
62

10
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
field: 62002001

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:
field: 62002002
62
2
2
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
field: 62002003
62
2
3
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
field: 62002004
62
2
4
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
field: 62002005
62
2
5
But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
field: 62002006
62
2
6
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
field: 62002007
62

7
Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
field: 62002008
62
2
8
Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
field: 62002009
62
2
9
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
field: 62002010
62
2
10
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
field: 62002011
62
2
11
But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
field: 62002012
62
2
12
I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
field: 62002013
62
2
13
I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
field: 62002014
62
2
14
I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
field: 62002015
62
2
15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
field: 62002016
62
2
16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
field: 62002017
62
2
17
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
field: 62002018
62
2
18
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
field: 62002019
62
2
19
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
field: 62002020
62
2
20
But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
field: 62002021
62
2
21
I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
field: 62002022
62
2
22
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
field: 62002023
62
2
23
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
field: 62002024
62
2
24
Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
field: 62002025
62
2
25
And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
field: 62002026
62
2
26
These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
field: 62002027
62
2
27
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
field: 62002028
62
2
28
And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
field: 62002029
62

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

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.
field: 62003002
62

2
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
field: 62003003
62
3
3
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
field: 62003004

4
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
field: 62003005
62
3
5
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
field: 62003006
62
3
6
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
field: 62003007
62

7
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
field: 62003008
62

8
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
field: 62003009
62

9
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
field: 62003010
62
3
10
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
field: 62003011
62
3
11
For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
field: 62003012

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.

13
Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
field: 62003014
62
3
14
We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
field: 62003015
62
3
15
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
field: 62003016
62
3
16
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
field: 62003017
62
3
17
But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
field: 62003018
62
3
18
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
field: 62003019
62
3
19
And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
field: 62003020
62

20
For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
field: 62003021
62
3
21
Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
field: 62003022
62
3
22
And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
field: 62003023
62
3
23
And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
field: 62003024
62

24
And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
field: 62004001

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
field: 62004002
62
4
2
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
field: 62004003
62
4
3
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
field: 62004004
62

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.
field: 62004005
62
4
5
They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
field: 62004006
62
4
6
We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
field: 62004007
62
4
7
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
field: 62004008
62
4
8
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
field: 62004009
62

9
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
field: 62004010
62
4
10
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
field: 62004011
62
4
11
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
field: 62004012
62
4
12
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
field: 62004013
62
4
13
Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
field: 62004014
62
4
14
And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
field: 62004015
62
4
15
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
field: 62004016
62
4
16
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
field: 62004017
62
4
17
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
field: 62004018
62
4
18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
field: 62004019
62
4
19
We love him, because he first loved us.
field: 62004020
62
4
20
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
field: 62004021
62
4
21
And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
field: 62005001
62
5
1
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
field: 62005002
62
5
2
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
field: 62005003
62
5
3
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
field: 62005004
62
5
4
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
field: 62005005
62
5
5
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
field: 62005006
62
5
6
This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
field: 62005007
62
5
7
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
field: 62005008
62
5
8
And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
field: 62005009
62
5
9
If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
field: 62005010
62
5
10
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
field: 62005011
62
5
11
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
field: 62005012
62
5
12
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
field: 62005013
62
5
13
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
field: 62005014
62
5
14
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
field: 62005015
62
5
15
And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
field: 62005016
62
5
16
If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
field: 62005017
62
5
17
All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
field: 62005018
62
5
18
We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
field: 62005019
62
5
19
And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
field: 62005020
62
5
20
And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
field: 66004005

And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
field: 66004010
66

10
The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

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.

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.

And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
field: 66005004
66
5
4
And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
field: 66005005
66
5
5
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
field: 66005006
66
5
6
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
field: 66005007
66
5
7
And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
field: 66005008
66
5
8
And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
field: 66005009
66
5
9
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
field: 66005010
66
5
10
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
field: 66005011
66
5
11
And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
field: 66005012
66
5
12
Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
field: 66005013
66
5
13
And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
field: 66005014
66
5
14
And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
field: 66006001
66
6
1
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
field: 66006002
66
6
2
And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
field: 66006003
66
6
3
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
field: 66006004
66
6
4
And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
field: 66006005
66
6
5
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
field: 66006006
66
6
6
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
field: 66006007
66
6
7
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
field: 66006008
66
6
8
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
field: 66006009
66
6
9
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
field: 66006010
66
6
10
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
field: 66006011
66
6
11
And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
field: 66006012
66
6
12
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
field: 66006013
66
6
13
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
field: 66006014
66
6
14
And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
field: 66006015
66
6
15
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
field: 66006016
66
6
16
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
field: 66006017
66
6
17
For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
field: 66007001
66
7
1
And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
field: 66007002
66
7
2
And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
field: 66007003
66
7
3
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
field: 66007004
66
7
4
And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
field: 66007005
66
7
5
Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
field: 66007006
66
7
6
Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
field: 66007007
66
7
7
Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
field: 66007008
66
7
8
Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
field: 66007009
66
7
9
After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
field: 66007010
66
7
10
And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
field: 66007011
66
7
11
And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
field: 66007012
66
7
12
Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
field: 66007013
66
7
13
And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
field: 66007014
66
7
14
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
field: 66007015
66
7
15
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
field: 66007016
66
7
16
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
field: 66007017
66
7
17
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
field: 66008001
66

1
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
field: 66008002
66
8
2
And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
field: 66008003
66
8
3
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
field: 66008004
66
8
4
And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
field: 66008005
66
8
5
And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
field: 66008006
66
8
6
And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
field: 66008007
66
8
7
The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
field: 66008008
66
8
8
And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
field: 66008009
66
8
9
And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
field: 66008010
66
8
10
And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
field: 66008011
66
8
11
And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
field: 66008012
66
8
12
And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
field: 66008013
66
8
13
And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
field: 66009001
66
9
1
And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
field: 66009002
66
9
2
And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
field: 66009003
66
9
3
And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
field: 66009004
66
9
4
And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
field: 66009005
66
9
5
And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
field: 66009006
66
9
6
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
field: 66009007
66
9
7
And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
field: 66009008
66
9
8
And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
field: 66009009
66
9
9
And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
field: 66009010
66
9
10
And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
field: 66009011
66
9
11
And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
field: 66009012
66
9
12
One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
field: 66009013
66
9
13
And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
field: 66009014
66
9
14
Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
field: 66009015
66
9
15
And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
field: 66009016
66
9
16
And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
field: 66009017
66
9
17
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
field: 66009018
66
9
18
By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
field: 66009019
66
9
19
For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
field: 66009020
66
9
20
And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
field: 66009021
66
9
21
Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
field: 66010001
66
10
1
And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
field: 66010002
66
10
2
And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
field: 66010003
66
10
3
And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
field: 66010004
66
10
4
And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
field: 66010005
66
10
5
And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
field: 66010006
66
10
6
And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
field: 66010007
66
10
7
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
field: 66010008
66
10
8
And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
field: 66010009
66
10
9
And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
field: 66010010
66
10
10
And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
field: 66010011
66
10
11
And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
field: 66011001
66
11
1
And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
field: 66011002
66
11
2
But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
field: 66011003
66
11
3
And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
field: 66011004
66
11
4
These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
field: 66011005
66
11
5
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
field: 66011006
66
11
6
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
field: 66011007
66
11
7
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
field: 66011008
66
11
8
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
field: 66011009
66
11
9
And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
field: 66011010
66
11
10
And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
field: 66011011
66
11
11
And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
field: 66011012
66
11
12
And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
field: 66011013
66
11
13
And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
field: 66011014
66
11
14
The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
field: 66011015
66
11
15
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
field: 66011016
66
11
16
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
field: 66011017
66
11
17
Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
field: 66011018
66
11
18
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
field: 66011019
66
11
19
And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
field: 66012001
66
12
1
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
field: 66012002
66
12
2
And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
field: 66012003
66
12
3
And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
field: 66012004
66
12
4
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
field: 66012005
66
12
5
And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
field: 66012006
66
12
6
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
field: 66012007
66
12
7
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
field: 66012008
66
12
8
And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
field: 66012009
66
12
9
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
field: 66012010
66
12
10
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
field: 66012011
66
12
11
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
field: 66012012
66
12
12
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
field: 66012013
66
12
13
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
field: 66012014
66
12
14
And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
field: 66012015
66
12
15
And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
field: 66012016
66
12
16
And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
field: 66012017
66
12
17
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

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.
field: 66013002
66
13
2
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
field: 66013003
66
13
3
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
field: 66013004
66
13
4
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
field: 66013005
66
13
5
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
field: 66013006
66
13
6
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
field: 66013007
66
13
7
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
field: 66013008
66
13
8
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
field: 66013009
66

9
If any man have an ear, let him hear.
field: 66013010

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.
field: 66013011
66
13
11
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
field: 66013012
66
13
12
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
field: 66013013
66
13
13
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
field: 66013014
66
13
14
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
field: 66013015
66
13
15
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
field: 66013016
66
13
16
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
field: 66013017
66
13
17
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
field: 66013018
66
13
18
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
field: 66014001
66

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.
field: 66014002
66
14
2
And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
field: 66014003
66
14
3
And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
field: 66014004
66
14
4
These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
field: 66014005
66
14
5
And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
field: 66014006
66
14
6
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
field: 66014007
66
14
7
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
field: 66014008
66
14
8
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
field: 66014009
66
14
9
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
field: 66014010
66
14
10
The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
field: 66014011
66
14
11
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
field: 66014012
66
14
12
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
field: 66014013
66
14
13
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
field: 66014014
66
14
14
And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
field: 66014015
66
14
15
And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
field: 66014016
66
14
16
And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
field: 66014017
66
14
17
And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
field: 66014018
66
14
18
And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
field: 66014019
66
14
19
And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
field: 66014020
66
14
20
And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
field: 66015001
66
15
1
And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
field: 66015002
66
15
2
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
field: 66015003
66
15
3
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
field: 66015004
66
15
4
Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
field: 66015005
66
15
5
And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
field: 66015006
66
15
6
And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
field: 66015007
66
15
7
And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
field: 66015008
66
15
8
And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
field: 66016001
66
16
1
And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
field: 66016002
66
16
2
And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
field: 66016003
66
16
3
And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
field: 66016004
66
16
4
And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
field: 66016005
66
16
5
And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
field: 66016006
66
16
6
For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
field: 66016007
66
16
7
And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
field: 66016008
66
16
8
And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
field: 66016009
66
16
9
And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
field: 66016010
66
16
10
And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
field: 66016011
66
16
11
And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
field: 66016012
66
16
12
And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
field: 66016013
66
16
13
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
field: 66016014
66
16
14
For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
field: 66016015
66
16
15
Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
field: 66016016
66
16
16
And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
field: 66016017
66
16
17
And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
field: 66016018
66
16
18
And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
field: 66016019
66
16
19
And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
field: 66016020
66
16
20
And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
field: 66016021
66
16
21
And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
field: 66017001
66
17
1
And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
field: 66017002
66
17
2
With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
field: 66017003
66
17
3
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
field: 66017004
66
17
4
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
field: 66017005
66
17
5
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
field: 66017006
66
17
6
And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
field: 66017007
66
17
7
And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
field: 66017008
66
17
8
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
field: 66017009
66
17
9
And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
field: 66017010
66
17
10
And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
field: 66017011
66
17
11
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
field: 66017012
66
17
12
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
field: 66017013
66
17
13
These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
field: 66017014
66
17
14
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
field: 66017015
66
17
15
And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
field: 66017016
66
17
16
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
field: 66017017
66
17
17
For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
field: 66017018
66
17
18
And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
field: 66018001

And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
field: 66018002
66
18
2
And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
field: 66018003
66
18
3
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
field: 66018004
66
18
4
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
field: 66018005
66
18
5
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
field: 66018006
66
18
6
Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
field: 66018007
66
18
7
How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
field: 66018008
66
18
8
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
field: 66018009
66
18
9
And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
field: 66018010
66
18
10
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
field: 66018011
66
18
11
And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
field: 66018012
66
18
12
The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
field: 66018013
66
18
13
And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
field: 66018014
66

14
And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
field: 66018015
66
18
15
The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
field: 66018016
66
18
16
And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
field: 66018017
66
18
17
For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
field: 66018018
66
18
18
And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
field: 66018019
66
18
19
And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
field: 66018020
66
18
20
Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
field: 66018021
66
18
21
And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
field: 66018022
66
18
22
And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
field: 66018023
66
18
23
And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
field: 66018024

24
And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
field: 66019001
66
19
1
And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
field: 66019002
66
19
2
For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
field: 66019003
66
19
3
And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
field: 66019004
66
19
4
And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
field: 66019005
66
19
5
And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
field: 66019006
66
19
6
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
field: 66019007
66
19
7
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
field: 66019008
66
19
8
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
field: 66019009
66

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.
field: 66019010
66
19
10
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
field: 66019011
66

And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
field: 66019013
66

13
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

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.

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.
field: 66019020

20
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

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.

And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
field: 66020002
66
20
2
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
field: 66020003
66
20

And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
field: 66020005

But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
field: 66020006

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.
field: 66020007
66

And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
field: 66020008
66
20
8
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

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.
field: 66020010
66

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.

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.

12
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
field: 66020013
66
20
13
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
field: 66020014
66
20
14
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
field: 66020015

15
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
field: 66021001

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
field: 66021006
66

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

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.

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,
field: 66021011
66
21
11
Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
field: 66021012
66
21
12
And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
field: 66021013
66
21
13
On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
field: 66021014
66
21
14
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
field: 66021015
66
21
15
And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
field: 66021016
66
21
16
And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
field: 66021017
66
21
17
And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
field: 66021018
66
21
18
And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
field: 66021019
66
21
19
And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
field: 66021020
66
21
20
The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
field: 66021021
66
21
21
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
field: 66021022
66
21
22
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
field: 66021023
66
21
23
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
field: 66021024
66
21
24
And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
field: 66021025
66
21
25
And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
field: 66021026
66
21
26
And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
field: 66021027
66
21
27
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

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.
field: 66022002
66
22
2
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
field: 66022003

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:

4
And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
field: 66022005
66

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.

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.

Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

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.

And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

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:

19
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
